A Cylon becomes an alien resistance leader in V

Battlestar Galactica’s Michael Trucco is going from Cylon to lizard alien on ABC’s V, taking on the role of the mysterious resistance leader named John May, according to TVGuide.com.

“John May Lives” has been a battle cry of sorts against the Visitors in the series so far, but we’ve seen neither hide nor hair (nor alien reptilian skin) of May so far.

According to the four episodes we saw of V last fall, May is the founder and leader of the Fifth Column, the group of Vs who are against their peoples’ plans for Earth and the human race. Ryan (Morris Chestnut), a sleeper V who has been on Earth since before the Visitors arrived, once was involved in the resistance. Now he and Earthlings Erica (Elizabeth Mitchell) and Father Jack (Joel Gretsch) are attempting to resurrect the Fifth Column.

I lost interest in V a while back. Are you still watching it? If so, are you enjoying the remake?

I’m not sure which series I would save. I like Smallville but it may have run it’s course. And Heroes has sucked for a while. I used to love Heroes.

Which show would you save and why?
