saw it last night - liked it - few questions tho coz i was confused:

how did they figure out the name of V? I remember them doing something on a computer but i missed the dialogue.

what was the deal when they found that man who had been dead 20 years? was it the same dude? i'm really confused here.

the comedy show that featured the chancellor - are we to assume it was all digital effects and that the chancellor didn't actually appear on the show?

what was the st. mary's project all about? were they testing the virus on humans to find an immune person so they could extract a cure (and then use the cure as power)? did the doctor know exactly what was going on? if not, what did she think was going on?

what caused the explosion at the medical facility?

It was hard not to figure out once they put the pieces and timeline together - he was the only one who walked out of the facility alive after the explosion; and they knew the pattern, that he was targeting the doctors and people who worked there for what they had done to him.

what was the deal when they found that man who had been dead 20 years? was it the same dude? i'm really confused here.

The inspector got a call from that guy and went to meet him -- then later when he got back to his office, it turned out that the guy he thought he had met had actually been dead for 20 years; so obviously it had been V in disguise.

the comedy show that featured the chancellor - are we to assume it was all digital effects and that the chancellor didn't actually appear on the show?

Yea, I assumed it was either masks or some sort of CGI - it was all a parody and there's no chance the real Chancellor would have come on the show and done that.

what was the st. mary's project all about? were they testing the virus on humans to find an immune person so they could extract a cure (and then use the cure as power)? did the doctor know exactly what was going on? if not, what did she think was going on?

I'm a little hazy on this part as well. At first I thought they were just trying to make some sort of superhuman or something, like the supposed Nazi experiments and such. As it wore on, it became clear that they were predicting some sort of outbreak so they would have the only cure. So it would seem that the facility's whole purpose was to develop this virus in a form they could control, and they were keeping the doctors in the dark about it.

what caused the explosion at the medical facility?

Err, I can't remember. It seems like he might have been involved in the explosion, but I can't really remember the details on that part.

but who was the person they thought they were talking to? What was his significance?

and i thought they knew it was V at the time they were talking to him, and that the disguise was just to not attract attention to himself.

No, he was someone who was around back during the St. Mary's trials and could verify all the inspector's suspicions about what had happened there. He had supposedly gone underground in hiding after the explosion, and they thought they had just found him.

When they found out the guy had been dead 20 years, they realized V had gotten the better of them.
