    So good! hide show

    I cried during this episode during the scene with Shepard and Sydney in the cabin, it was very emotional and I actually felt very sorry for what SD-6 had done to Shepard.

    You meet a lot of killers and bad guys during the course of this show, but Shepard was the first one I actually really liked a lot and didn't want to see reach a bad ending. I wanted to see him return because he was so sympathetic. The actor who played Shepard was great too! He really captured the essence of the character and made him a likable person!

    Finalmente nos enteramos junto a Sidney quién fue el que mató a su amado: el pobrecito señor de los colores. Ella y su dolor a cuestas lo eximen de toda culpa y cargo entendiendo que no es culpable el que acciona si hay otro que planea.

    Aparte: es el primer capítulo que veo en mi nuevo monitor (lcd 17 pulgadas) de mi nueva compu (hp no se cuanto). Ah! Que placer! Al fin algo placentero que se cumple. Pronto estaré escribiendo estos reviews desde casa... no lo puedo creer. A veces el esfuerzo colosal trae consecuencias positivas, hechos que hacen creer que no es todo tan f**** useless... aunque sea por un rato...

    Great! hide show

    Sydney and Shephard escape the assylum successfully. He tells her that he was the one who killed Danny. She tells SD-6 that Shephard committed suicide. Vaughn and Jack meet. Jack tells Sydney more about her mother's death. Sloane suspects that there is more than one mole in SD-6. Will must publish his story about Danny's murder in the paper, but he doesn't want to. It's Thanksgiving and Francie gets engaged to Charlie!

    This episode was great! It was shocking to find out about Shephard's connection with Sydney. I hope Sloane doesn't find out about Jack or Sydney. This episode gets a 9.5 out of 10!

  • Jack: It was the height of the Cold War. After they caught Boyce and Lee in '77 everybody was under suspicion.

    This is an allusion to Chris Boyce and Daulton Lee who were soviet spies and whose story is told in both the book The Falcon and The Snowman by Robert Lindsey. Sean Penn and Timothy Hutton star in the film of the same title. []
