  • Good one..

    Oh.. The mysterious ending of last episodes gets a end and ofcourse it never ends there - there is a lot of fighting with Anna still on the way and when that mission seems to be over, there is troubles at home - I like the way Danny is developing on the case of Sydney's fiancee murder and the whole thing with Sydney's father - the talk she gave and got from Vaughn.. it was moving and deep..

    And the case.. exciting ofcourse, but somehow I even felt that the drama part of this episode had more weight and focus that whole case.. not that the Marroco part was quite good.moreless

    Se nota el toque femenino en este episodio y de verdad lo digo, de ninguna manera de forma despectiva. El amor que nunca es respondido, la soledad en forma de lgrimas envenenadas, el padre ausente.
    El show sigue su viaje montaa rusa. Apresurado a veces por dems, llendo de un lado al otro del planeta y volviendo una y otra vez a Los Angeles casi sin descanso. Quin podra soar con una vida viviendo as?
    Por el otro lado Rambaldi y su genio incomprendido. Un hombre del siglo XV que deja besando el polvo a los genios del siglo XXI. Inquietante Da Vinci.moreless

    Sydney and Anna open the case and memorize the numbers. Sydney plans to give SD-6 the wrong code, but Vaughn warns her not to. She and Dixon go on another mission, where a fellow man dies. Sydney is very confused about what's happening. Francine suspects Charlie of cheating on her and she tries questioning him. Will gets closer to finding the truth of Danny's death.

    This episode was great! It was full of excitement and adventure. I loved some of the humor too! Marshall is so funny! Definitely the comic relief in this show! This episode gets a 10 out of 10 from me!moreless

    Alias Season 1 episode number 4 tiled A Broken Heart-This episode has a lot of good parts and looks great the missions in the episode are exiting and not boring and a average cliffhanger that makes this a good episode Sydney friend has boyfriend problems and because of that she is staying at Sydney's house in the meantime Marshall device is very clever and the scene where she says $ 50.00 is to much is pretty funny meanwhile Will is getting closer to finding out is Danny's killer and over all this a good episode that is all I have to say the endmoreless

    Once again I was entertained throughout the duration of the episode. The show has a great way of mixing the action and the drama, basically giving each of them about half of an episode each time around. I liked the begiinning to this epsiode - with Anna and Sydney both trying to remember the code. I also liked the follow up fight in the very next city where they both went to find the Golden Sun. I thought Sydneys personal life was interesting in this episode as well as she once again is kissed by Will, yet nothing major has been confirmed by either of the two. Then once her father shuts her down for dinner she doesn't call Will, but Vaughn who we learn in this episode has a girlfriend. Just another standard episode of Alias - entertaining from beginning to end.moreless
