That was clear by the look on his face as he climbed into the helicopter. Of course, if he had any honor, he would have stayed behind and taken the heat. But, again, he is evil.<br /><br />I guess Sydney has learned a tough lesson. She cannot trust her mother. Ever. Not even a little. That sucks.<br /><br />Way to go, Jack!! We needed Jack to outsmart Irina and he did. I love him and Victor Garber!Karen Swifthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17292379033800154820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-64129174973259013472013-01-31T17:34:24.872-05:002013-01-31T17:34:24.872-05:00Another bit of ret-con that has always bothered me...Another bit of ret-con that has always bothered me. In the episode where Sydney and Jack are in Cuba, she tells her dad that she was never very good at Morse code; yet, here she is decoding it like it is nothing. It wouldn’t have been too big a stretch for Vaughn to know it and give Sydney the letters.<br /><br />I was so relieved that Irina that Jack was onto Irina. Makes much more sense and, as you say, is much more in character.<br /><br />Like sunbunny, I am not sorry to see Emily go. She’s never been a very strong character and her “betrayal” never felt right. Like Kendall, I thought she was part of the master scheme and was setting them all up, but it turns out that she’s just weak. Unable to take any side at all, and it costs her dearly.<br /><br />You’re making me feel guilty, sunbunny. I am not at the gym watching these; I am baking bread. Carbs and no workout. No wonder I don’t have Garner’s abs. :-)ChrisBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10843864158239536750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-80224152487463707722012-11-18T04:22:17.826-05:002012-11-18T04:22:17.826-05:00Ugh, I can't stand Emily. I mean, I get the wh...Ugh, I can't stand Emily. I mean, I get the whole 'stand by your man' thing, but Sloane is just pure evil. I understand it must be a tough position for her, but the man has killed people. Plural people.<br /><br />I'm sorry, nothing excuses Sloane. Not even loving his wife as much as he does (which is, apparently, quite a lot). PS. The way Emily says 'Ribolita' makes me want to punch her in the face for no reason. <br /><br />Great review! I should add Alias to my rewatch list. For now, I just watch random episodes at the gym. Jennifer Garner's abs are downright inspiring. And ridiculous. Did you know she ate mostly yogurt while filming?sunbunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08553429350476841139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-80151845155034880572012-03-28T04:17:39.659-04:002012-03-28T04:17:39.659-04:00Way to go, Jack! I should have known that he's...Way to go, Jack! I should have known that he's too smart to be fooled again. And it's a delicious irony that in the previous episode Kendell told Jack that if the mission to capture Sloane went well, Jack would have his job...only to have the mission go completely wrong, and Jack gets his job.<br /><br />Poor Sydney, indeed. How many mother figures can one woman lose? And is it a terrible twist that the earrings, which seemed to be a solely sentimental gesture on Irina's part, turned out to be a spy gadget? Or, since they communicated Irina's one constant message (originally heard in the season opener, right?), are they earrings still a lovely symbol of mother-daughter love?<br /><br />Sydney looked very pretty at the genetics lab, but I miss her sexy outfits and crazy wigs.Josie Kafkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17892717530356699008noreply@blogger.com
