and, lo, it was good
EEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!! Best. s3. episode. yet. DUDE. DUDE!!! AAACK!!!!

-Awwwwww, Syd is Jack's strength!! There is so much sweetness between them this season it's, like, WEIRD. But in a good way.

-"Michael says you're the best." Hee. hee. hee. Of course he does.

-Okay, really, the Vaughn/Lauren is just making me laugh now. "aww, we're schmoopy! SCHMOOP SCHMOOP SCHMOOP!" and then they FIGHT, and this is the BEST EPISODE EVER. "HONEY" Bwahahahaha!! ... Ahem. I'm sorry. I'm an evil, awful, utterly biased S/V fan, i apologize. But... HA!

-Syd and Vaughn! On the plane! They got to have a happy cute moment! Like, genuinely happy! Smiling! Awwww. That's nice. Heeeeeeeee.

-Weiss and Vaughn arguing over the mic was so kyoot! Hee. They're so old-married-couple. ;D

-Ah. Justin Theroux. You are hot. Thank you for being so hot. Seriously, been looking forward to this for, what, months? Dude. The HOTNESS. Rock on, Alias. ROCK. ON. Also: JULIA!! Whooooah. (but everytime i hear the name Julia, i think Cowboy Bebop. And then there's the freaky coincidence that she was missing and possibly dead... criminal... long blonde hair... weeeeird. Or is it just that i can relate EVERYthing to Alias? That might be it.)

-Duuude, Lauren meeting with Sloane. He's so eeeeeeevil! And totally screwing with her head. Just like old times! I love this Sloane. He is awesome. And heeeee, Syd and Vaughn have a love that defies death. Why THANK YOU, Arvin.

-Ahhhh!! Syd breaking into the hotel was the fucking COOLEST THING. She got that maid outfit right quick, and using the telephone, and diving off the balcony, and DUDE. It was so crazy and Alias-y. :D

-Loved the second S/V plane scene, too. They actually had a conversation, about trust! Go team! I love that Vaughn noticed something was up with the Julia thing. He still knows her. Sigh.

-Aw, Weiss. "Did somebody DIE?" Hee! Except, ouch. Weeeeeiiiiissssss, that wasn't smooth. Just be quiet and look pretty all dressed in black, okay?

-Jack doesn't care if he breaks up Vaughn and Lauren's marriage. Heh. Jack, i love your coldhearted bastard side. I really do.

-Carrie!! Yay! I love Carrie!! She and Marshall are so great. Heeee. And "Phrank"? Bwah!

-GAH! Jack told Dixon about Syd killing Lazarey! And now Vaughn knows and can't tell Lauren and WHEEEEE!! I wasn't expecting Jack to tell, but i'm glad he did, because it was getting a little old having them worry about anyone finding out every week. Sucks for Vaughn that he has to lie to his wife... because of a Bristow. He always has to lie because of a Bristow. Hm.

-DEAR LORD Justin Theroux is hot. Siiiiimon. Sigh. And GOD how much do i love that Vaughn had to listen to that? Angst, baby. Angst. Totally reminds me of A Half Circle of Hell (even though it was Anna... STILL.)

-AHHH!!! SARK!!!!! By that point i had been beginning to wonder where Sark was, so as soon as Simon went to answer the door i was all "sarksarksarksark it's gonna be Sark..." hee. Gah, HOT.

-I really liked the scenes with Lauren and Sloane. It seems that i like Lauren better away from Vaughn. Funny, that.

-Oh SHIT! VAAAAAAAAAUGHN! I do love the pretty boy torture. Probably a little more than is healthy. But man, Vaughn in mortal peril is the BEST Vaughn! I love that Syd stabbed him, because of course she did it to save him, and also- the ANGST! MY GOD, THE ANGST! It was so. fucking. SAD. How they were so close, and the look on his face, and gaaaaah. *wibble* JESUS GOD, IT'S A CLIFFHANGER!!! Damn, i almost forgot how terribly frustrating these were. Oh, except, i didn't forget, and it's still horribly torturous, and Alias? I love you. DAMMIT.

And, of course, what freaked me out even more- THE GODDAMN PREVIEW FOR NEXT WEEK AND AJHFDLGSFLKHBASFLKHABF!!!!! Uhm. Uhm. Uhm. I think we all know what i'm talking about, soooooo, yeah. But, he's totally unconscious. Dammit. But still- AAAAAAAAAGDALJHGSFLJHGFASLAJGF!!!! *hysterical sobbing and giddiness* Oh. my. god. Am also very excited about Syd and Lauren's Getaway Car Fun! EEEEE!!

Well. In case you didn't notice, i FUCKING LOVED the episode. It really, truly, finally felt like GOOD Alias again. And all week i had been hoping it would be a kickass episode so i could finally stop hearing all the complaining about how much the show SUCKS now. Whew. But yeah, it just had a lot more of the tense "oh SHIT" moments that are so wonderful, and great S/V, and evil!Sloane, and not All About the Triangle, and wheeee! Dixon is still really distant, and i don't like that... but overall, good stuff. I thought Lauren looked waaaay pretty, too- i liked her hair better than last week. And, well, there's Justin Theroux. Have i mentioned the HOT? I do hope that Simon gets to stick around. I really, really do. Guh.

Ah, and, an icon. Uhm, i have so many 'ships that i adore that i don't really have an OTP... but S/V is probably the closest thing. Damn, how boring of me. Why must i love them so much? WHYYYEEEEE?? I just can't explain it. I really can't.

Yay, Bebop!

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who immediately thought that. Of course, I didn't really LIKE Bebop's Julia, but who cares!

GRARGH! YOU MADE A BEBOP PARALLEL! *dies*

Oh, and I must agree with you on this episode. However, I kinda thought that they way Jack all of a sudden gave away the tape and how easily the situation was handled turned out to be really cheap. I mean, they made it so .. suspenseful and Jack would always dramatacize everything that could happen to Sydney if the CIA were to ever find out and .. well, they didn't. Or he didn't. If Dixon IS the CIA. So is the NSC the mutual enemy? Or is it LAUREN?! *ahem*

You're right about Lauren, too. She would be a lot more interesting somewhat by herself. But I still don't get why she has an Australian accent while her father's a Virginian senator. Maybe it's some seperation of family thing ..

Hellz yea. Gotta have the Bebop love. ;D

Yeah, it is rather weird that Jack was so against turning in the tape, and then all the sudden did and there wasn't any big consequence. Although i'm assuming that'll come after Syd gets back from her deep cover assignment, because the reason they let her go is because she needed to complete the mission. (might be why Jack chose that time to do it, too.)

I don't get Lauren's accent thing either, if her family is from Virgina. (like, why couldn't they have just made her from Australia, or England? I wouldn't have had a problem with that.) Hopefully they'll give some explanation.

It would be really hilarious if it was one big mistake. xD But no, J.J.'s not like that .. No siree.

Or maybe Jack made sure that it wasn't Syd who confessed so he like .. totally freaked her out and stuff.

Oh and dude, the Weiss/Syd/Vaughn Triangle o' Jealousy was so. There. So there.

Hee! There was more of a Weiss/Vaughn focus this time, but yes, there was definite triangularity. And with Simon walking by them with his hand on Syd's ass, it was almost a... quadrangle! Or, you know, square.

And heeeee, Syd and Vaughn have a love that defies death. Why THANK YOU, Arvin.

Ah, well, i'm prone to be really freaked out after episodes, but i know i liked it better than the other ones this season. ;) Not the best episode of all time, but it felt more like the old Alias, so juxtaposed with the rest of this season, it felt AWESOME, ya know?

I've seen Justin in Mulholland Drive, and the newest Charlie's Angels movie, and Six Feet Under. All of which he was hot in. :D

And heh! I'm funny. Go me. ;)

I know! I watched that and nearly melted. I love badass!Jack, but fatherly!Jack is starting to REALLY grow on me.

I seriously loved this eppy. I *heart* it very much. I also need to see Mulholland Drive very badly. OTP? So dead on Marina... never give up hope. *lights lighter in memory of Braughn-ness*

Seeeeriously. But i love that he's only a softy with his spyfam... with anyone else (*cough*VAUGHN*cough*) he's still menacing, scary Jack. :)

I also need to see Mulholland Drive very badly.

Yeah. It's cool, but be warned, it's VERY strange. Like, i knew it was weird before i saw it, but i didn't know HOW weird. It's reeeeally weird.

Mulholland Drive can't be any more weird than Velvet Goldmine. Felt the same way about that movie. Knew it would be different right off the bat... but by the end of the movie my eyes were as big as saucers.

But I'll take your word for it Marina. Will watch Mulholland Drive with caution.

I would actually like to see Mulholland Drive again, because NOW i mostly understand what was going on. But when i first saw it, i was like like "what? with the wha wha? whuuuuuuhhhh??"

You're so descriptive Marina. I get so much out of your variations of "what". ;)

Yes... Goldmine is very weird. Definitely not a movie for the homophobic. I adored Ewan McGregor and Christian Bale in it though. They were practically the only reason I watched the entire thing all the way through.

The pic is from the season two episode Second Double (2nd to last episode of the season). Goooood Syd/Vaughn hotness. :D

Like Faith already said, "OTP" is "One True Pairing". "GIP" is "Gratuitous Icon Post". Everyone always asks about those!

Soooo true. But even more than that, i'm PRAYING that the World Series doesn't go to Game 7, because ABC will probably postpone Alias and show a rerun instead. (remember The Indicator last year? They postponed that because of the WS. AARRRRGGGGGHHHHH) It was sososososo awful being so hyped up for a new ep and then having to wait an EXTRA week for it, so i have fingers and toes crossed that it doesn't happen again. :(
