INTERVIEW: TV Guide Talks With Executive Producer Scott Rosenbaum..

TV Guide and Warner Bros. Television teamed up for a Comic – Con ” Special Edition ” issue which went on sale Monday 26th July 2010.. TV Guide Magazine’s, William Keck, had the opportunity to sit down with V‘s Executive Producer Scott Rosenbaum who has given V fans some spoilers and surprises that are installed for us when V: The New Series Season Two airs in November 2010.. We had a friend that attended Comic – Con, who was kind enough to pick up a copy for us so we can share with the fans.. So without any further adue..

TVGuide: Could you explain the Red Sky Anna ordered in the finale’s closing moments?
Scott Rosenbaum: All I will say is that it was the first shot in the war.. The Red Sky is an important tool in her arsenal to ensure her plans for humanity are successful..

TVG: Is Valerie really dead?
SR: Yes, Valerie is dead.. Anna, in an effort to gain emotional control over Ryan, killed her in order to use her death as a tool to bring him back into the V fold..

TVG: Will we get to see more of Ryan and Val’s lizard baby besides that glimpse of it’s tail?
SR: Absolutely.. Ryan’s baby will be an integral part of his Season Two emotional arc, as well as a tool for Anna to manipulate him..

TVG: Why did you decide to make Anna experience emotion over the loss of her baby army? Are we to believe that Earth’s humanity is having an impact on the Visitors?
SR: The reason the Vs are experiencing human emotion will be explained in Season Two.. The decision was based on the mythology I created about who the Vs are, where they came from and what their plan is.. I don’t want to give away the full answer right now, but beyond the mythology aspect, I also felt it was an interesting way to shape her character arc: Cold ice queen feeling an emotion.. Unfortunately, it wasn’t a positive human emotion, such as love or empathy.. It was a negative and destructive one: Vengeance..

TVG: Why was Anna so devastated over the loss of her eggs?
SR: Because she in fact felt human emotions for the first time.. Vs are bred not to have human emotions.. They are animals, only interested in the perpetuity of their species.. Human emotions are not good for this..

TVG: Anna conceived thousands of babies in an instant.. Why not just do it again, or have another female V breed an army?
SR: As for breeding capabilities, only the queen can give birth.. Anna will be able to conceive again, but it is a difficult and painful process with risks..

TVG: Will Father Jack leave the priesthood, enabling hunky Joel Gretsch to become a viable romantic leading man?
SR: Father Jack is going to have his faith shaken in Season Two.. He will face some excruciating decisions about his role in the world, the church and the war with the Vs..

TVG: Why was there no security or cameras guarding Anna’s precious stash of eggs? Both Erica and Chad moved about freely on the Mothership..
SR: The reason there are no security cameras is because the Vs are ” Of Peace..” Before coming to Earth, there was never a crime committed on the ship.. Ever.. Anna’s no fool, however, and in Season Two, security will be tightened up..

TVG: Will we get to meet more of the regular characters’ extended families?
SR: Yes.. We’ll also introduce a lot of new interesting characters..

TVG: Are you considering showing the Vs on their home planet?
SR: At some point, yes.. But first, I’m going to show them at the last planet they conquered.. It’s gonna be very, very cool..

TVG: What is the chance of seeing some cool cameos next season from the original V stars?
SR: I’m looking into it.. I hope we will see a few of them..

TVG: Will we get to see a full reptilian reveal of the Vs out of their human skin?
SR: Yes.. Next season we will see much more of the Vs.. We will learn how they function, their abilities as different from ours and all that fun stuff everyone’s looking forward to.. For instance, we’ll meet new V types, more soldiers and trackers..

TVG: We were told that we would learn by the finale why the Visitors were here and what they wanted from us, but we didn’t.. So …?
SR: If you watch the series very carefully, why they’re here is hinted at, just not spelled out.. However, in Season Two, our team will discover Anna’s plans for us and this will be more clearly ( Revealed ) for the audience..

TVG: Erica’s teenage son Tyler has seemed like kind of a wuss all season.. What are your plans for him?
SR: Tyler is no longer going to sit on his thumbs.. He’s going to get engaged in the war and pick sides.. The question is which side will he pick?

TVG: What’s the overall plan for Season Two?
SR: It’s going to be an adrenalised version of Season One.. More character reveals, more lizard reveals, more V mythology, more action and more plot twists.. We’ll really look at where the key characters came from, their back stories, peeling back layers for them.. Season Two needed to deal with a lot of setup, and now that it’s there, the dominoes are gonna fall.. Expect a roller – coaster ride..
