Sloane mentions taking a bullet for Jack in "Breaking Point." edit »
Lauren dropped a piece of note into a garbage can is very much like how Sydney and the real CIA communicate during the first season. Of course, Vaughn took the note out of the trash and found that it was simply a to-do list.

Only one item on the list was checked, and it was to "pay the bills". Vaughn being the intelligent officer that he is should have kept the list for himself - in case it was some coded message for someone from the Convenant to obtain. He should know.

Besides, why would Lauren discard a list that still had items unchecked? Logically, she still needs to do them, cause almost all were unchecked. edit »
Flash drives (such as the USB memory stick that the data was on) are not venerable to magnetic fields, and an EMP strong enough to wipe the drive would also have fried the computer in a very obvious way. A strong enough XRay bean could mess up the data, but probably also given the wearer of the ring cancer in short order. The explanation of solar flare activity is just nonsense (unless of course you were in a high earth orbit). edit »
Goof:
When Vaughn discovers the safe room door in Dr. Viadro's house, the keypad LEDs show it to be unlocked (one green LED). But when he approaches the keypad to to attempt a circumvent of the electronics, the LEDs indicate it is in a locked state again (two red LEDs). edit »
Goof: When Marshall gives Sydney and Vaughn the sun glasses he presses the button on the left side. When Sydney sends the hacker a message she presses on the right side. edit »

Cypher: Nice trick. Looks like I'll have to readjust my firewall settings.
Sydney: I could still get through. edit »
Bomani: This girl, her work for us of late has been uneven.
Sark: The Il Dire machine is in our possession because she managed to steal it from the CIA. She is a considerable asset.
Bomani: (skeptical) An asset for you in ways that do not interest me. edit »
Lauren: (on the phone) What else did Bomani tell you? Did he instruct you in the quietest way to murder me?
Sark: Absolutely not.
Lauren: You pathetic little errand boy. Tell Bomani he'll get proof of my worth the next time he sees me, when I deliver the Passenger. edit »
Dixon: You recall that I requested Dr. Barnett's notes from her sessions with Sloane?
Jack: Yes. Did they reveal anything?
Dixon: Yes. There is something in the notes that concerns you. In one of the sessions with Barnett, Sloane admitted having an affair with Irina while you were married. edit »
Jack: I don't regret having married her. I have Sydney because of our time together. What I do regret is that once I saw signs of her duplicity, once I sensed her betrayal, I chose to ignore it. All I'm asking is that you be responsive to the signs if and when they present themselves
Vaughn: (to Jack) You never respected me. Never thought I was worthy of your daughter. So I'm not surprised you're so quick to think Lauren is betraying me. But whether or not you or Sydney believe me, I know the life I'm living, and I know the woman I am married to. Lauren is not Irina, and I'm definitely not you. edit »

The Bottom Line: "Series classic"
I was a little confused about which episode I was watching. On ABC in GA, they don't ever have the description right in the episode guide so i had to come on here and look for it based on the two episodes I saw last week. Dishnetwork isn't all that great. ...Continue »
