Alias

Ok.. I think I am finally getting how this is going to be and I am more and more enjoying the episodes - ok, I still expect series like this little more action and less drama as to be honest, the whole friends playing cards scene was pointless.. But some great developments and excitement. I liked the change the made in CIA.. more tension. And then the whole party thing where Anna and Sidney met.. both under the same thing and in the end, have to come together to open the briefcase. And as I said - the end. You just have to finish it on the most exciting place to be sure people will come back.

Sidney se reencuentra con su archi enemiga: Ana Espinoza. Cada héroe se mide en base a su contrario, así la moneda pasa a ser moneda mostrando sus 2 caras. Las veo pelear y me pregunto en que mundo sería posible caminar por cualquier calle y poder presenciar un espectáculo de tales características. Si alguien lo sabe por favor avíseme. En cuanto a Alias como show me entretiene y gusta. Me hace querer más cada vez que un episodio culmina. Los personajes son entrañables y humanos, cada uno a su manera. Brindo por el genio de J. J. Abrams una vaz más.

NOTE: The following paragraph is the summary from the episode on TV.com. I didn't write this summmary in my own words, so I don't take credit.



Sydney's life is in mortal danger as she is sent to Madrid to retrieve a 500-year-old sketch that contains a set of numbers and meets up with her deadly nemesis, K-Directorate agent Anna Espinosa. Meanwhile, Will delves deeper into the cause of Danny's death and discovers a very strange anomaly.



Francine suspects Charlie is cheating on her, while Jack lied to Sydney about her mother's death. Vaughn gets promoted back up thanks to Sydney. Anna and Syd open the box and are surprised to find what's inside.



This episode was great! I loved the action and suspense! It gets a 10 out of 10!

Story spoilers-In this episode of Alias Sydney and Dixon are sent to Madrid to get a very old document while she is their she runs in to her emery Sydney get the box and her enemy get the key so both groups decide to meet and see what is in the suitcase when they open the box there is something they do not expect to be their and the episode ends with a cliffhanger over all this is a good episode they has a good running story in it and we get introduced to some new bad guys who seem to make the show run smoother even though SD-6 is the main enemy of the series It is good not to have Sydney run around and do stuff for them and report back to Vaughn this episode turn the series in a new direction and made it better The End

I really liked this episode a lot - with the scenes between Sydney and her friend Will (?) were really good. I like how they didnt really answer much after they kissed. They didnt get so into it that you need answers in the upcoming episode, which could be a good storyline down the road as the season draws more to a close. I liked all of the action in this episode, starting at the very beginning with the cliffhanger ending that left us all puzzled from the previous episode. I also liked the girl on girl action in the middle part of the episode, with both of them trying to regain the lost plans. Then to wrap it up in traditional JJ Abrams style with yet another cliffhanger ending of not knowing what was inside the box. The next episode should start off with one heck of a bang and I cant wait to see what happens next.

This episode throws a wrench into the storyline. With the idea of Vaughn being taken off the case this early in the story is surprising and leaves the viewer going against that idea immeadietly. This episode also introduces a great character in Anna, who is Sydney's spy nemesis. It works very well, and to watch the two spar in the episode for the lockbox is something that is not quickly forgotten. Will's investigation gives the viewer more of a snese that he's heading into danger. The cliffhanger is one of the best of the early first season, although the resolution is not the best, but then again, that could be due to the beginning of the episode which is not only action packed but also a way of showing how being a spy is effecting Sydney's studies and life. Overall, a good episode.

The word "parity" means equal or doppelganger, and this episode's most obvious example of that is in an agent who is the evil equal of Sydney, showing that the CIA isn't the only spy agency with some kick-ass Barbie.



This episode is most notable for introducing Sydney's sworn enemy Anna Espinosa, who, by the way, complete rocks. It's entertaining to watch a bad guy who’s a complete equal to Syd, even managing to be a better spy than her at times. I also loved how they already knew each other, so there were no big introduction scenes, and we went straight into the action with them. Anna herself is a complete caricature of one of those old-time Bond bad girls, with the Russian accent, undercover outfits and expensive gadgets, and you love her all the more because of that.



There are also a lot of stunts worth noting in Parity, in particular the stunning chase scene between Sydney and Anna, featuring one of Alias' coolest stunts, which sees Syd swooping down from the balconies inside the warehouse in her red dress, like some exotic Amazonian woman swinging from a bunch of vines. Phew. Got carried away there.



On the non-spy front, Will is still investigating Danny's death, and it's becoming one of the show's most intriguing stories, even though it's wrong for him to investigate the murder behind Syd's back. With that fact in mind though, it's unlikely the Syd/Will relationship will go anywhere further than their awkward kiss in the kitchen.



Featuring the first reference to 18th century inventor Milo Rambaldi, and an unexpected and hanging-off-your-seat cliffhanger at the end, Parity sees Alias raising the stakes and becoming the highly convoluted and hugely entertaining series we know and love.

Rating: A

Once again, a great and exciting episode. It opens with Sydney being held at gunpoint by Ineni Hassan. She's holding the core to the nuclear weapon, but still manages to escape and kick ass without blowing everything up.



This episode has lots of intense action sequences, especially where Sydney is fighting Anna over the lockbox. Anna manages to escape with it, but Sydney has the key.



Later, at home, Syd and her friends play cards and get drunk, leaving Will and Sydney alone. They end up kissing while eating ice cream, which makes things a bit awkward.



Meanwhile, Sydney is assigned a new handler by the CIA - something she doesn't like very much. She refuses to work with the CIA unless they reinstate Vaughn, which they end up doing.



Sydney and Espinosa meet in a football field as part of a truce to discover the contents of the box. They open it, and are shocked at what's inside.



Well, another cliffhanger ending. The audience doesn't get to see what's in the box. I'm glad I didn't start watching this show on ABC - I don't know if I could have standed it. What a way to leave you nervewracked for a week, huh?



I like the scenes between Syd and Will, even though I know nothing is going to develop between them, and it's interesting to see Sydney try to recover from losing Danny.

Väldigt bra avsnitt som vanligt! Rambaldi verkar intressant och Anna Espinoza är en tuff brud, men det är syd också! Spännande när de skiftade syd`s spion liv med hennes skola bra gjort! Ineni hassan var inte så snäll. Som sagt jag älskade inle´ningen! Hoppas det forsätter lika spännande hoppas kan man alltid!

Iam objective enough to admit that there have been many episodes that were better than this one,yet it still continues to be my fav. The main reason is because it contains two of the best directed action scenes in the series.



We open with Syd being held at gunpoint by Ineni Haasan after she goes to steal back a Plutonium core from a Nuclear bomb she recovered in the previous ep.



The scene is FANTASTIC as it intercuts (ie:The core about to roll down the steps as he says You're dropping the ball) between her escape and a later conversation she has with her Professor, who chasties her about her focus during his class.



Back at SD-6 we then get our FIRST mention of Milo Rambaldi as Sloane briefs the team of his backround. Syd/Dixon are then tasked to Madrid to steal a box containing the missing code to a Rambaldi equation.



Anna Espinosa(in her first mention/appearance)has already stolen the code key to the box from a man named Benegas. The mission takes place at the unveiling of his latest sports car.



Like I said before, there have been better episodes,but this is THE BEST mission of the entire series. Syd creates a distraction using a 'sonic emiting peso',piggybacks off Anna's camera looping device and goes to steal the box,only to be beaten (pun intended) to the punch by Anna.



What sets this ep apart is the SCORE that blares in the backround as Syd chases Anna through the halls, and the fight that ensues. After recovering the box Syd then learns that her Father is being brought into the SD-6 offices for his Game Theory abilities,and her Handler(Vaughn)is being replaced for a older/more experienced agent.



Jack devises a scenario in which Syd/Anna will meet at a neutral location under the guard of both agencies(SD-6/K-DIRECTORATE) security forces.There they will combine the key and the box to both obtain the info inside.



As a sidebar,Syd pulls rank on her annoying new Handler and gets Vaughn back on the case with a promotion to boot. The ep ends with Syd/Anna meeting in a Stadium in Germany that is equally split with snipers from both agencies.



Syd/Anna then test each others mettle with some provocative dialogue to see who can get the other to "break." When that fails they both get to business with the box. Syd sets it down as Anna use the key to open it.



As they open it both their eyes widen and Syd lets out a chilling "OH MY GOD" as the screen fades to black.



Incredible episode!!!
