I think V is a popularized version of the series "The Outer Limits". Although V does address the reasoning for development of the human species. But "The Outer Limits" examines how the human species defies extra-ordinary phenomena due to human-species exceptional analytical abilities to manipulate electrical fields. This analytical ability keeps people from entering into the world of television by being able to hypothesize, yet remain fearfully skeptical.
Anti-gravity is supposedly how the V mother ship stays off the planet Earth and how the V species travels on terrestrial Earth. So the concept of electrical field theory, the manipulation of electrical fields, and manipulation of biological systems seems as how V intends to beat the human species.
Another aspect of V is the food source technology. They seem to toy with the concepts of reptiles being superior and humans being a food source as well as other animals such as birds. Thus the question of the food chain and hierarchy of food sources by dominate species becomes materialized. Again the question being who is the dominate species being at the top of the food chain and who controls technology effectively being the winner of the human species.
These questions of evolution seem to be played with in a series because everyone wonders what will happen next in the next episode. Just like in V where curiosity leads humans into the mother-ship to learn the secrets of V. Curiosity being used as a psychological tool by the V species to lead them into the ship.
Or like having the genetic blue print of the human species but not fully making a human useful. Curiosity can be a learning activity of random chance that may produce a time dependent variable according to generations needed to establish a certain point of acceptance with not the gene pool of the human species but how much a life time is actually needed to achieve in terms of work. Supposing the space ship needed to travel for 200 years in space to reach the next Earth like terrestial planet then you would need to live for 200 years or the knowledge used would need to be comprehended and made operable by a knowledgeable human at any point in time that work was needed to be done.
This seems to mirror the plot of the movie 2010 a Space Odessy where the mono-lithe speaks to Dave and Hal the ship computer. Dave finally says as his last words, "Its full of stars". What really happens to Dave no one knows. Dave just obeys their commands and disappears. In the movie V at least they the human species know they are trying to investigate the ship because they are afraid of dying or being used a food source.
I think V is a fairly good show of use of creativity and concept development using science and scientific methods. The use of curiosity to develop the plot is also very good. However, that mirror plot of 2010 a Space Odessy is also an alternative reality within this plot. Would a superior species with command of technology such as the V species really allow a human to win?
