I think not. I loved it and hated it at the same time. I hated the new Mrs. Vaughn with a passion, and felt so bad for Sydney, her whole life was taken away from her. All she has left is her dad and a few friends like Weiss and Marshall. Love Carrie and Marshall, they are very funny together. I get sad when I think of all the torture that Sydney endured during her missing time.<br /><br />I try to cut Vaughn some slack,he did think that Syd was dead and that sneaky Lauren did everything she could to make him feel happy again. I don't blame Sydney for being snarky with Lauren or Vaughn, she is traumatized and hurting. That poor girl.

He's just so calm and cool.<br /><br />I'm still miffed about the timeline regarding Vaughn's apparent breakdown after Sydney's "death" and his eventual relationship with and marriage to Lauren. I don't begrudge his moving on, but it just seems awfully quick. Oh well.<br /><br />And, I also still adore Sark. It's fun to really like one of the bad guys. He's adorable and he's vulnerable - he was afraid for his life when they were about to make the prisoner exchange. I really don't think he knew about the Covenant's plans for Sydney. He has a lot of respect for her, and I think he'll have a lot of trouble avenging his father's death when he finds out it was her.Karen Swifthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17292379033800154820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-34504851224839790292013-02-04T15:56:03.452-05:002013-02-04T15:56:03.452-05:00I agree completely about this being, in effect, th...I agree completely about this being, in effect, the second half of the opener.<br /><br />I've always been intrigued by the fact that after months of trying to get him back to the agency, Weiss only succeeds with Vaughn when Sydney comes back. Also, didn't Vaughn look just a little <i>too</i> relieved when he saved her life? He can't really be glad he moved on now that he knows she's alive, can he?<br /><br />Jack is awesome, as always.

His accent seemed pretty darned good to me. <br /><br />Vartan's father is French and he spent a lot of childhood in France. He speaks French fluently (thus, the comment from the waiter in 'The Getaway', "You speak French almost as well as I do.") and holds dual citizenship.ChrisBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10843864158239536750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-10217645567925903622012-03-29T20:31:44.331-04:002012-03-29T20:31:44.331-04:00This was a great chapter in the on-going saga, but...This was a great chapter in the on-going saga, but I'm not sure how effective it is as an episode. I think you're right, Billie, that it would have made a great second half to the season opener. That would have made the tension at the beginning of 3.1 resolve neatly when Sydney meets Lauren.<br /><br />Once again, you chose the perfect lead quote. Victor Garber does quiet, snarky anger better than anyone. I hope someday I can be that cool and witty. (I also hope someday to be taller.)<br /><br />Sydney's conversation with Sark was great, although I missed his spiky hair. I also loved the "previously on," which showed Vaughn beating up Sark in the season two finale. (I'd forgotten to mention how much I loved that the first time around.)<br /><br />As incredible as that apartment is (Sydney must have inherited some secret $800 million in gold bullion, too), how sad is it that Weiss is all she has to help her move in? And--wait--what objects was she moving? Her previous home burned in a fire.<br /><br />I also loved the rules for the meeting in Sonora. Two groups meet in the desert and feel the need to shoot flare guns to prove they are who they're supposed to be? Just in case there were some other top-secret meetings going on in northern Mexico that day?Josie Kafkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17892717530356699008noreply@blogger.com
