"Good"

By teambff, Dec 27, 2011 Report Abuse

haha this series is so ridiculous.. it borders on being a parody.

the whole thing with sydney having her own memory erased was one of the dumbest things i've seen in a while - sydney while i like her the writers make her into a bumbling fool most of the time.. uhhh she could of just destroyed the stupid cube and her reasoning made no sense "nothing's safe, anything can be taken, etc, etc" no crap you are in the spy business.. the last thing you do is erase your own memory and then go on a hunt to remember what you erased... instead you destroy the item and be done with it.
also how about when you have sark knocked out you actually kill em so he's not outwitting you every other move for 2 seasons.

then don't even get me started on laura being in on the whole bigger picture plot... and busting out a sniper rifle hahahahaha so ridiculous... they try wayy too hard to come up with a big "reveal shocker" that it always flops they just don't do it well on this series.

all this being said... even with how ridiculous the series is and how bad it is on alot of levels it does have the ability to be likeable and entertaining.

i'd never rewatch this series again that is for sure, but for just one watch through the journey is pretty entertaining and i do notice so early elements to "fringe" which is pretty cool like the whole dream therapy that olivia went through.moreless

"Fair"

By desunn, Sep 19, 2010 Report Abuse

I sensed it was coming since the beginning of Season 3 and I was not disappointed. While watching this episode, the viewer cannot ignore the visions of the Fonz strapping on the ski's as the purr of the boat comes to life. Seasons One and Two were so great and very refreshing action/adventure television, but I do not understand the necessity to add a flavor of Charmed to this show (and I love Charmed, but Charmed is true to itself). There is no need for the CIA and its opponent to spend the taxpayers time and money tracking down the freakin' "Chosen One." I mean, get real writers. If you have a big bag of nothin' to offer, let the studio know before you offend your loyal viewers with this crap. I did give it a 6.5 because the cinematography, fight scenes and the acting is still great.moreless

"Perfect"

By angelspinknose, Jun 24, 2010 Report Abuse

This had to be the best episode of the entire series. The pilot episode was great but this one was better. Sorry to say after this episode the entire series went downhill. I hated that they wrote off her friends. They kept her personal live interesting. You could tell that Cole was the one telling her to kill the "unimportant man".

"Perfect"

By cavanagh15, Jun 24, 2010 Report Abuse

Best episode of the season so far - and I think this will also eclipse "The Telling" as the number 2 episode on my all-time list as well. Once again we get huge answers to one solution only to have a million other questions to be replaced with.

How is Lauren a traitor after all this time. Is Micheal and Lauren the new version of Jack and Irina. There are a lot of questions that need to be answered - like how she was being a double agent and what kind of information the Covenent sent her into the CIA to get. She has seemed like a good guy for so long - how long has she been undercover?

The Covenant was an up and coming threat right around the time that "The Telling" took place, was Lauren with them then or was she recently recruited because of the frustation of her marriage. This episode needs to have some answers to it, whereas Phase One didnt really open the door for questions needing to be answered. This is another gamechanger kind of episode and an episode that will be looked at sometime in the future as the episode that changed it all. As far as everything else besides the cliffhanger ending - Sydneys backstory of her two years was done brillantly. To have it all be her idea after all this was genius. That and then the Covenant tricking her into leading them right back to the Rambalidi Box. This episode was everything you could ever want from a television show - perfection.moreless
