please just keep reminding him you were drugged.
Alias, Blowback... you mean, it's NOT porn?? Aw, man.

-Sleepyhead!Lauren and squinty!Vaughn are pretty. I liked that. And! The waaaaaatch! I thought of that almost right away when i saw it in his hands, but i didn't think it would be THE one. But it was! YAY! (edit: ooh, was the watch declaration in the previously? Yeah, i missed the previously. Now i'm glad. It made his mention of "it's broken" a HELL of a lot more surprisingly cool and subtle.) And i like that Vaughn was going running in the middle of the night. Helloooo, track pants. How are you? Good, good.

-Syd and Vaughn and disguises and guns and car chasing! Woooo! And aww, Ford product placement. How... annoying. Spectacular. "Wow, this FORD F-150 handles great while chasing down my assassin wife!" The car chase was cool, though. Except for Vaughn being a total pansy and not crashing into civilian vehicles. Come on, Vaughn! Sark did it! He's making you look bad! You could have gotten by, and even been like "sorry, sorry... oops, sorry, i'll pay for that, sorry... sorry!" Dude. I know you're a good guy, but really.

-Mitchell! Hee. Jack's "... Cute." was hilarious. When Marshall was babbling about being up all night with the baby and Syd and Vaughn kept looking at each other, all i could think was that they were thinking "dude, are WE gonna be like this when we have kids?" Come on! You know you thought it too!

-Aww, Syd remembered ol' Bill's death. That was sweet. Hey Vaughn! Have you realized yet that Lauren doesn't love you and Syd's the one you should be with? NO?? Not till it's convenient for the progression of the season, you say? Ahh, i see. Jackass. And his conversation with Weiss totally showed how spineless he's being, too. Hey Vaughn! Where'd your balls go?

-Heh, when Lauren said "love you" Vaughn just said "you too." Ha ha. Way to be noncommittal, dude.

-Sloane's dinner with Dr. Barnett was weeeeeeird. And i like how Judy's all "this is purely professional, which is why MY BOOBS ARE IN YOUR FACE." Also? It was weird. Weird weird weird. WEIRD.

-Oh, when Sloane said the scroll that came out before the "peace" message was blank, i totally thought that it's just written on in invisible ink like page 47. Hm.

-Uhm, the repeat-y episode thing was odd. I mean, i liked the bits of different perspective it put in, but it repeated so much of the same stuff that it seemed like they were just trying to fill up time. It was a lot like starting with a flashback and then giving it context later on, which we are ALL sick of by now, except this time the flashback took up half the episode. Greeeeat.

-BUT! Sark/Lauren was cool. Sark's constant "you're so controlling" blah dee bloo was funny, but also really annoying. I loved him dressing up as the security guard and hiding behind the magazine. Ha! And the car chase set to "Song 2" was the BEST. Fuck yeah, i still adore that song. And i loooooved the evil!spy!sex. It was, dare i say it, awesome. Why can't Syd and Vaughn ever get it on right when they complete a mission because they're all hot and bothered? That would make me SO HAPPY! Oh, but they're not evil, so they can't have fun like that. Dammit.

-I am, however, starting to see the Sark fandom's annoyance with him being Lauren's lapdog. She's a bitch to him and he loooooves it? Eh? Uhm... at least they're pretty. Right? RIGHT??

-Dammit, Sloane, you're not Syd's father! And you didn't have an affair with Irina! LALALALAAAAAA not listening!

-Vaughn getting shot was kind of funny. Well, it's not like he's gonna DIE. But dude! Truth Takes Time, much? Sark shot him, Syd was scared, but he was wearing a vest so he was okay. The only thing it lacked was the (*sob*) kissing.

-Of course Lauren didn't get around to taking off the mask. Bah. But, Vaughn dropped the gun meaning he loves Sydney meaning that is time number 100029572398650296 that they've declared their love for each other without actually declaring it! Wheeee!

-Heh heh, Vaughn at the bar. SEE, Lauren? You've driven him to drink! But, yeah, what the hell IS her mission for being married to him, anyway? Like, what is that supposed to accomplish? Besides pissing us off? I want to know!

-AGGGHH, that last scene is why Sloane can't be Syd's father. That's just plain MEAN. *sniff* Jack+Syd spyfamily4EVA!!

Dude, this episode totally accomplished nothing. TWICE. Ha ha. That's funny, guys. I still baselessly enjoyed it, but... eh. Whatever. It's like having a frozen dinner that's tasty the first time, but it's not all that filling and you get sick of it really fast. Or something. Syd and Vaughn were a little bit better than in the last episode, but Sark and Lauren are still making them look lame lame lame.

Anyway. Next week has glasses!Vaughn! All i ever look forward to now is the pretty! It's very sad! But... GLASSES! Sigh.

I still don't really understand why everyone is so upset with how Sark acts... I think it's quite funny. But people will see it the way they want to see it... I don't think he's being a lapdog in a let's-butcher-the-character sort of way, more like a 'Wow, I like domineering women and Lauren is hot'. I mean he's whipped but he can also mock her the way he did in the phone call at the end of the ep. *shrugs*

I think I liked it a little more than you. ;)

-Sloane's dinner with Dr. Barnett was weeeeeeird. And i like how Judy's all "this is purely professional, which is why MY BOOBS ARE IN YOUR FACE." Also? It was weird. Weird weird weird. WEIRD.

DUDE. I know! Come on, that is so not a professional dress. Unless your profession is, well, a woman of the night.

-Oh, when Sloane said the scroll that came out before the "peace" message was blank, i totally thought that it's just written on in invisible ink like page 47. Hm.

Ooh, I knew I forgot to mention something in my post. My ass, he threw that out.

-I am, however, starting to see the Sark fandom's annoyance with him being Lauren's lapdog. She's a bitch to him and he loooooves it? Eh? Uhm... at least they're pretty. Right? RIGHT??

Yeah, but he totally played his hand right in the engine room. And then threw it back in her face at the end! He's the bitch again. :)

I love this show.

seriosly, what was the point of this ep? ...

If sloan is syd's father (which i highly doubt - hello predictability!), I called it in season 1... along with the rest of the viewing population.

"Wow, this FORD F-150 handles great while chasing down my assassin wife!"

Heehee! Poor Vaughn. His life just sucks so much.

Sloane's dinner with Dr. Barnett was weeeeeeird. And i like how Judy's all "this is purely professional, which is why MY BOOBS ARE IN YOUR FACE." Also? It was weird. Weird weird weird. WEIRD.

Oh my god. In my FACE. Didn't help that Sloane's eyes drifted into that area a time or two.

I am, however, starting to see the Sark fandom's annoyance with him being Lauren's lapdog. She's a bitch to him and he loooooves it? Eh?

See! The fandom's not crazy after all. But since I'm clearly delusional, I'm going to believe that Sark is playing her for his own purposes. Right?

Not only does next week have glasses!Vaughn, but also Sark and Vaughn. On a plane. Together. Wheee!

And i like that Vaughn was going running in the middle of the night. Helloooo, track pants. How are you? Good, good.

I thought the same thing! I totally had a flashback to those red track pants he was wearing when they did the commentary on...Phase One? I don't remember what episode. But he was wearing red pants, I definitely remember that.

And i like how Judy's all "this is purely professional, which is why MY BOOBS ARE IN YOUR FACE."

Dude, her cha-chas were ALL OVER THE PLACE. Pissed me off. "This is purely professional." Oh bullshit. Professionals keep their tits in their blouses. You're so hot for the Sloanester.

Yeah, I didn't really like how nothing was actually accomplished tonight. Oh well, there was much pretty, and that's all Alias is good for lately. Pretty! And leather-clad evil people making out! My favorite!

HAHAHA. I know. And I hope it wasn't just me but they did play that Ford commercial after EVERY SINGLE FREAKING BREAK? Gaaaaah. Talk about being blatantly contriving. I wonder how much money the network/show got for that. And even mentioning the car model in the scene, twice!

Yes, and I agree.. the different prespectives was cool but I was getting bored seeing stuff twice. But I lurved the fact that S/V are just supposed to be together becos she remembered! She remembered and I wanted Vaughn to just grab her and make out like teenagers. Becos you know they want to. Honestly, now I am just counting down to their reunion sex which has to be waaaay better their evil spy sex.

So, once again, this episode proved just how insanely evil Lauren is. Even with red hair, weird black eye make up and talking even more funny than usual. It is so unfair that she gets to be upset that Vaughn proclaimed his love just when a few hours ago she was boning it away! NOT FAIR, I SAY.

Aside from all of that, I loved nerdy Sydney minus the practically identical get-up (hair, glasses, stripes) in Reprecussions.

It's because the world HATES me. It taunts me constantly with promises of good!spy!sex which will always and ultimately be very sweet and not at all hot and evil. This is karmic retribution for the number of times I've watched Spike and Buffy have sex.

Sark and Lauren were hot. Hee. I'd want to have sex immediately following that car chase, too. Because car chases are hot.

Yeah, i missed the previously. Now i'm glad. It made his mention of "it's broken" a HELL of a lot more surprisingly cool and subtle.

Lucky ho. I saw the Previously and was sort of happy, but sort of inward groan because I would have liked the watch to be a nice, unexpected callback. Oh well, gotta dumb down and slut out to the new views! Boo.

And i like that Vaughn was going running in the middle of the night. Helloooo, track pants. How are you? Good, good.

And hello to Vartan in the DVD commentary. Red track pants I looooove you!

"dude, are WE gonna be like this when we have kids?" Come on! You know you thought it too!

I did I did!!! Sigh.

Hey Vaughn! Where'd your balls go?

He left them in his track pants. Along with his keys.

Why can't Syd and Vaughn ever get it on right when they complete a mission because they're all hot and bothered?

Because the world hates use, Marina. Or just the writers, whatever.

Sydney meaning that is time number 100029572398650296 that they've declared their love for each other without actually declaring it! Wheeee!

It better be effing PERFECT when they finally say it. *shakes fist threateningly*

Next week has glasses!Vaughn!

And a tweed jacket! He looks so First Year Ivy League Professor! EEEEE!!!!

Come on, Vaughn! Sark did it! He's making you look bad!
He's got the CIA's budget behind him! And he's in an F-150 for crying out loud! And a hot chick sitting next to him! How he could have resisted running over those antscars is beyond me.

"dude, are WE gonna be like this when we have kids?"
Hahaaaahahahaahahaa. Oh, funny. You sound like Weiss sometimes, do you know that?

i totally thought that it's just written on in invisible ink like page 47.
Absolutely. I hope that turns out to be true, actually, because we know Sloane still has all that paper.

But, yeah, what the hell IS her mission for being married to him, anyway?
No. Kidding. And why does she get to be pissed about him loving Sydney while she's off screwing Blonde Boy? I'm cornfoozed.

Dude, this episode totally accomplished nothing. TWICE. Ha ha.
Haha! My sentiments exactly.

I would have preferred if they hadn't shown the Sydney\Vaughn watch scene in the previous. It was like they were throwing a bone to all the fans who just started watching this season. Bah. Hardcore fans would have known it was the watch without them doing that.

"this is purely professional, which is why MY BOOBS ARE IN YOUR FACE."

I mocked her for that through the entire scene. *facepalm* Real professional, Barnett.

"Wow, this FORD F-150 handles great while chasing down my assassin wife!"

*dies*

Dude, this episode totally accomplished nothing. TWICE.

Yeah, basically. And I couldn't stop laughing when I realized it. After that one commercial break where it returned back to the scene with Lauren and Vaughn, I thought that maybe some monkey at ABC had messed up the episode and started it over. Oi.

I liked that. And! The waaaaaatch!
I've missed the watch. I kepy hoping it would come back, just because it was so sweet when it first showed up. And I love how Sydney remembered the anniversary and Lauren didn't. Muahahahhahaa!

And i like how Judy's all "this is purely professional, which is why MY BOOBS ARE IN YOUR FACE."
LOL exactly! I was like "if you don't want him to hit on you, COVER YOURSELF UP!"

And i loooooved the evil!spy!sex. It was, dare i say it, awesome. Why can't Syd and Vaughn ever get it on right when they complete a mission because they're all hot and bothered?
Dude. So cool. It was like a S/V fanfic just...without them. In the first half, when Lauren called Vaughn, I *knew* she was in bed with Sark. Well, really I was just hoping it because it would be all cool and evil and last time she called him like that I thought that's what was happening...but Sark strangling the guy in the background was just as cool. I enjoy those two crazy kids.

Oh god, just got a totally fucked up idea of a plot twist that might come into play (to further impede S/V lovin). Sark gets Lauren pregnant and she tells Vaughn it's his? (And then he, of course, feels all guilty for totally sexing Syd up the night before in my make believe episode). Is that too soap opera-y, or could it be something JJ might do? Cuz it would piss me off in the best way.

Marina... I have to tell you that I'm a big fan of your writings here... I've never commented on anything because

a/ I'm too shy for it
b/ I never find anything intelligent to say (and it doesn't mean THIS message will be ... ahem)

But I HAD to let you know that you owe me a new keyboard. It's cordless and all, so it's gonna cost you big bucks... *g*

I liked the episode, overall it was kind of exciting but you summed it up SO well that you made me spill Coke all over my beautiful convenient lazy!mels keyboard... and for that, I hate you ;)

But otherwise, I just love you, and pleassse keep those comments coming, I'm such a fan :)

Mels.

Mitchell. Joni Mitchell. Carrie crying whilst listening to Joni Mitchell when Marshall met her Mitchell.

Oh-oh, I did not like Lauren in a red wig. She looked strange.

Lauren doing the disguise thing weirds me out. Like, she's trying to "be" Syd but evil (stealing Vaughn, her wigs, and her badass moves)

and major pet peeve of this eppie other than the awkward double-back:
"This episode of Alias was brought to you in part by Ford F150"

yeah, fuck you Ford and your horribly placed ad placements in my favorite show.
It totally, completely, annoyingly lacks subtlety.

grrrrrrrr
