The SOUL! If you watched “Serpent’s Tooth,” you were bashed over and over with the concept of the soul. Out of nowhere, Anna decides to destroy human emotion via the soul, while Jack talks to Ryan about the soul and how it’s not physical. It may have worked conceptually, but in the hands of V writers, it turns into a grand disaster with some of the clumsiest writing you’ll find on any show, making Jane Badler turn into a silly caricature (“The soul, it’s in your heart!”).
Aside from the soul dialogue which will probably scar me forever, there’s a decent amount of action and the episode ends with Erika in a flipped car with her V FBI partner. Chad is now a prime target for the Fifth Column, but continues to help Jack.
Score: 7.0/10
