Alias

I loved seeing the Caplan story be revisited, it showed me that the show will go back to old storylines that we thought were long forgotten. Finding out Caplans wife and him were really a living and breathing Irina/Jack was really cool to watch Jack try and handle. He looked at Caplans wife and Irina, even though she was nothing like Irina at all. Jack couldnt believe that everything she was working for could be so easily torn apart by the love she actually had for him. I loved the entire storyline. Dixons wife dying in the end was amazing. I dont know if the car was meant for Dixon, but it was blockbuster either way. I love endings like this that make you have no idea what is next. Dixon is sure to be reeling in the next episode - I just hope we dont have to go through a long process of another funereal. Either way - this episode is fantastic and one the best episodes of the entire second season, even the whole show.

...Well no. Not at all. The plot differs. However, the episode shares the same pace, and issues as the previous one.



Highlights



-- Marshall

-- Will getting some screen time

-- Neil at the end



That's all. Unfortunately, the russian plot left me cold, and it seemed to be a big filler.



Francie is annoying me, the writers are dragging it out for too long. I missed Kendall in this episode, but Jack finally became his old self by the end.



There's a thing about Vaughn... I like him, I really do. But ever since him and Sidney are in 'real' love, I just find his character much less interesting.



Overally, the pacing and the unneccessery subplot killed the episode for me.



The ending was shocking, but I hope it wasn't shocking so the writers would have an excuse to write off Dixon - he's a really good character.

Sydney still doesn't believe that her mother could have betrayed them but Jack is certain that she has. They still don't know how the earings were transmitting the message to Syd.



Sydney gave Vaughn a drawer. It was a little silly having all his stuff in a backpack when he's spending most of his time over at her place, but I had to laugh when he put the backpack (without unpacking) into the drawer.



"A wife for a wife" Sloan found out that it was Dixon who shot Emily (thanks to evil Francie using an unsuspecting will again). Poor Dixon, just when he & his wife were getting along now that he's joined the CIA Sloan gets evil Francie to Kill her. Great way to end the episode. Now I'm certain that Dixon will want to kill Sloan just as much as Syd does.



I love how Syd managed to outwitt her father when he had her followed. Jack should know his daughter better than that by now. I just love how she made a simple disguise for herself in the drugstore & walked out in plain sight of the guys who were watching her, with a bunch of girls.



Who would have guessed that Neil Caplan is NSA and that his wife Elsa is another Russian spy. Remind you of someone? Well she reminded Jack of Irena. Difference is that it turns out that Neil knew all along about his wife being a spy & that she really loves him.

That pour Neil. He's been captive for months by Sark, Irana and Sloane (:S) all to get back to his family. His spying, but loving family. I thought the whole Wife is a spy was a little too much. We've seen this before ( this was all clearly a reference to The Bristows ) and it's just weird to think there are more family's like this. I did love the fact that Elsa loved him. It was so cute the way she reacted about her son. Maybe there's a chance for Jack and Irina after all ;)



So Jack was the real boss this time. And I didn't like the way he acted. He was too....hard. It was great that Sydney was to fast for him, though!!! Very smart with the hair and stuff. Jack didn't like it though :P.



Sydney & Vaughn....aaaah. They have a drawer now :) It's going very good between them , and it seems that Jack isn't really happy about it. But I am!



Sloane was in grieving-mad mode. He really misses her, which is kinda cute but I stay with my opinion that it was his own fault. I did drop my mouth with the ending! Wow, I didn't see that coming at all! :S Dixon is going to go on a revenge hunt is my guess.



This is not a very long review, but I have to do some things for school. I also just heard that Alias got cancelled, wich isn't really a big surprise but it still hurts :(
