Has Anyone Been Watching "V"? *Warning, some spoilers*

Based on the original "V" series by Kenneth Johnson, the re-make now airs on ABC. It is about an alien race who come to Earth under the pretense of "Peace, always", healing people and promoting world peace. The humans see the outer appearance of the aliens as some of the most beautiful people they've ever seen, while the true beings are lizards wrapped in human skin. Of course there is an evil plot at work, and the leader of the Vs, Ana, is trying to take over Earth since the Vs have depleted resources on their own planet.

Before the show aired, I was anticipating it because Morena Baccarin was to play Ana. I loved her as Inara in "Firely", a Sci-Fi/ Western that was canceled after only one season on Fox. I later found out that Morris Chestnut would play a V on the show. His character betrayed Ana and became "5th Column", resistors of the Vs and allies to the humans.

It's coming back for a second season and I'm kinda hooked. :) I'd like to see more lead characters of color (any color with melanin, honestly).
