The second episode of ABC’s V was another really great episode.
The key character is really shaping up to be FBI Agent Erica Evans played by actress Elizabeth Mitchell.
She’s strong, tough and saavy. And how about that shower scene? No nudity. And that’s a good thing. It means she’s serious and the shows producers are not treating her as some kind of sex object. She’s a hero.
We think that Agent Erica will end up leading the human resistance overall, she’s got what it takes. In many respects, we think she’ll take on the role that Michael Ironside had in the original V series as the tough no-nonsense military leader of the Resistance.
Overall, the sophistication of the series so far is superb. There are so many layers to the plot that it’s clear this show has legs — so long as ABC doesn’t cut this show off at the knees.
“No nudity. And that’s a good thing. It means she’s serious and the shows producers are not treating her as some kind of sex object. She’s a hero.”
Or maybe it’s because the show is on ABC where nudity is not allowed and the fact that there even was a shower scene in the first place when it wasn’t necessary for the story means that, yes, she is a bit of a sex object.
