"Great"

By Parricida, Feb 06, 2009 Report Abuse

Mm.. I think the best part of this episode was that the whole Sydney family was together on the mission and the way those three interacted. Sydney having trust to her mother but his father not letting her out of his site for a moment - and the way they did in train, almost missing jumping point and then the end..

But the other storylines.. I do not know.. they were all little diminished by the action in the end. I do liked the development on Sark side.. the way Sydney was afraid that he might know she is double agent.. and that Emily is still alive.. but we were quite sure on it before.moreless

Cualquiera! Se fueron al carajo!
Est bien, fue algo divertido, casi pardico, pero Alias no es una comedia, al menos no hasta ahora, y no le veo el sentido ni el aporte de este captulo. La CIA deja ir a Irina con Jack y Sidney a Cachemira para desactivar unas ojivas nucleares que Sloane y Sark quieren. Todo bien, pero esa excursin familiar despus de 20 aos me pareci una pavada. Y que Sloane y Sark trabajen juntos tambin, y el dedo en el paquetito y los tres Bristow disparando juntos a lo Tarantino fue demasiado. No s como se recuperar Alias de este infantil error.moreless

"Great"

By cavanagh15, Jul 27, 2007 Report Abuse

I didn't think that this episode is all that great. Arvin receiving the finger of his "dead or maybe not so dead" wife was really the only good part of the episode. The family trio that is the Bristow family is getting a tad bit old. Sydneys trusts mom, Dad refuses to trust mom, Moms true mission through turning herself in is still unknown to everyone. It has been this way for quite a while now and sending them on this mission is more or less going to depend on what happens in the next episode then what happens in this one. I thought the gunfire scene at the end was too unreal for me to really get into it. Having threeof them take down 8-10 men while they were wide out in the open like that was a little too dumb for me I thought. Irvina taking off the necklace I thought the explosion would be instant, not take it off 3 seconds later it goes boom boom. Wills storyline has hit the point where I dont really know / care why Im watching it. We all ready figured everything he has figured out...out all ready so I need him to reach some sort of endpoint with that. Worst episode of the second season so far I though, not the best as our rankings say.moreless

"Superb"

How ironic it is for the 3 Bristows to work hand-in-hand with each other. The 3 would include Jack, Sydney and Irina... It was such a 'cute' moment when they stood next to each other and fought off the PRF... That was a great moment. Especially, when the music of U2's "Walk On" came on... It was a ball!

"Perfect"

By Loswellias, Apr 10, 2006 Report Abuse

Oh my goodness. Can you feel the love tonight?

I really liked this episode full of action, and love (sigh).

Vaughn tells Sydney the story of his watch. It was given to him by his Father, it always worked perfectly, like a heart beat. Vaughn informs Sydney that the watch stop ticking the day he met her.

Will is fired by Vaughn, however still works for him free of charge.

Sydney, Jack, and Irina must get 6 nuclear war heads, however they trapped. How they get out of this one is just awesome. They were a family of terrorist killing spies.

Awesome episode!!!

I can't wait for Vaughn and Sydney to kiss.moreless

Trivia
ADD TRIVIA
- It is established that the day Sydney walked in the CIA building and met Vaughn (cf. "Truth Be Told") was October 1st. Edit
- Two months have passed since Irina turned herself in to the CIA. Edit
- Kendall says that "the Uzbeks have admitted and Defence Intelligence has confirmed" that the six suitcase bombs went missing six months earlier. Why would the DIA need to confirm something the Uzbeks had admitted? Edit
Notes
ADD NOTES
- This episode did not use the standard opening credits. Edit
- Music from this episode includes: "Bad Moon Rising" by Creedence Clearwater Revival "Walk On" by U2 "Almost Ran" by Josh Canova Edit
- As of this episode the opening narration explaining the premise of the show (Sydney working as a double agent to bring down SD-6) is no longer used. The episodes now just start with a "Previously..." recap. Edit
Quotes
ADD QUOTES
- Sark: I had a run in with Sydney Bristow this morning. She may be the only one who suspects that I in fact have not turned myself in. Sloane: I've been a presence in Sydney's life since she was born... Sydney will believe whatever I tell her to. Sark: And her father? He must often battle the temptation to tell her the truth about SD-6. I'd hate to see Jack's paternal instincts compromise our objective. Edit
- Will: (to Vaughn) Look, except for you, Sydney, and Jack, everybody I know - and a lot of people I don't - they think I'm a lying junkie, okay? And helping you, doing something for the CIA, it felt like a chance to do something that mattered again, you know? Like, I don't know, maybe I went through all this crap for a reason. Edit
- Vaughn: I didn't think Devlin, my superior, would mind me having you research this, but he did and he ordered me to let you go. Will: Hold on. Wait a second. There's something here. Okay, look, I'll narrow the test scores down to a small group of kids. Now Devlin won't be able to deny the value of that. Vaughn: He thinks since you're a journalist, since you've been trained to report what you know, that you're a security risk. Edit
