Alias

Ok.. From the first season I have wondered why Marshall is main char.. he could be just well a supportive one as he seems to be little off the pace and things and usually not gets much screen time and never happens nothing to him - but that change here - he goes to mission with Sydney and in the end, he is going to be brought in to CIA. But it goes wrong -someone else takes him. So, first I was thinking they are dumping that char.. but now.. it looks like he is finally get some action.



Also other than that.. little family relations in Bristow side.. but other than that.. quite avargae.

Necesario capítulo. Conocemos un poco más a Marshall y, aunque lo que se muestra no es nada demasiado inesperado, funciona. La madre omnipresente, el miedo a viajar, la obsesión infinita, el amor por Sidney, la lealtad a lo que se supone es una organización que defiende su país.

Marshall es sin duda el personaje secundario que todos quieren en Alias y que sí o sí debe estar en cualquier serie que se considere digna: Hurley en Lost, Liz en Nip/Tuck, quizás Dana en The L Word y bueno... Hiro en Heroes.

Además tuvo suspenso y quedó en verse qué será de nuestro entrañable Marshall. Buen capítulo.

This episode contained a very strong comic value. From the paranoid plane sequences and Marshall's ridiculous parachute jacket to the attempted British accent ('hello') and the failed distraction technique in ewok. This episode was never dull to watch and gave some more depth and realism to the extremely lovable Marshall character.



We saw some great Sydney style cover ups and we got some typical loose ends with the wheelchair guy at the concert hall. The best bit was that we even got an old school alias cliffhanger.



The episode itself had the suspense and action that made it the action spy show and yet the humour and character interaction that made it a stand out episode.

The dentist is back - fantastic way to end the episode by the way. That ending came out of left field by a mile, I wonder what the dentist is looking to do with Marshall now that he has him right where he wants him. I thought the episode was likely the most comical episode that the writers have ever produced, which I thought was a rather ncie change it up writing style then from what I am used to seeing. Some people may have called it a filler episode bcause Marshall and Sydney were the ones going on the trip, but I actually liked it to be someone different for a change - doesnt make me feel like Im watching the same thing just a different mission. I thought the scenes with Sydneys mom were also great, how she seems to be warming everyone up. I still think shes in for something huge to happen once we all least expect it - or maybe she has changed for good who knows. Either way - great episode from the writers.

Irena has complete control over Sydney, she's still working on Jack, but he isn't falling for her tricks like Syd has. He thinks that Sark & Irena are working together and that they are both where they want to be. Smart man. I think so too. And Jack is *still* married to Irena. Why hasn't he divorced her yet? Could it be because he's still in love with her?



Vaughn & Alice run into Syd (I mean Rita) and Will at a bar. Was that jealousy I felt right then & there. It looks like even Will realised at that moment that Syd & Vaughn have feelings for each other.



Now the best part of the episode, Marshal & Sydney go on a misson together. This is Marshal's first time on a plane & he's very nervous, I think it was so sweet that he left room for Syd in his parachute, and that he thinks it's his job to keep her safe.



His brittish accent was pretty bad, poor guy getting drugged like that, and Syd waking him up with a kiss, that was my favorite part of the episode.



Marshal getting kidnapped at the end by the bad guys was bad. I can't wait to see what happens & who they are. And is Marshal's kidnapper who I think it is? The same chinese guy who tortured Syd & Will back in season one. The guy who likes to pull teeth out? If it is, then poor Marshal.

Again a 'focus on...' episode, and this one was about Marshall. Marshall is just the cutest person ever! He's so smart, and he's like a child always in a good mood and helping everybody. What happened at the end of this episode is certainly not what he deserves. But I don't think that bringing him to the CIA would be the good thing. His world would fall apart ( as Sydney said ) and that's not what we want for him. Plus he would be off with SD-6 ( he clearly isn't fit to be a double-spy ) wich Sloane would obviously notice, and wich would give trouble. In other words: DON'T destroy Marshalls life!!



The scene with Irina and Sydney bothered me. Sydney is a little too much hanging around Irina these days. And it seems that she sees her as a mother now. I know I said that I thought that Irina might try to be good ( and I still do ) but Sydney shouldn't trust Irina so much, so fast. She killed people. And now she's winning Jack too *shakes her head*. Besides I think Sydney should for once keep herself to her statements. Like staying mad at her father, or never trusting her mother *shakes her head again*. She's just such a good guy she can't see that people around her can be bad too :)



There were some real serious jealous vibes in that scene at the restaurant. I think every doubt is gone now that Sydney likes Vaughn. The way she looked at him, and the way she looked back when she walked away :) I think Will now knows too. Sad boy. He should go to Francie, the're cool together. And I hope he makes the test ok. He's cool as a searching guy, and I just adore the fact that he can talk to Sydney about everything. ( I went trough the same thing with my parents :P )



I don't trust Sark. I really don't. And where is Dixon? The blonde investigator ( she has a scary, but familair head *-) ) is onto Jack. Looks like she's getting some double-spy vibes. Sloane trusts him though. I really wonder what happened at the CIA. And I hope the blonde investigator leaves soon!



At the end some things I liked about Marshall this episode:

- The fact that he sends his mother pictures of places he's never been.

- The fact that he kept room in his parachute for Sydney, and then said that it's his job to keep her safe.

- The fact that he said "I Love You" to Sydney when he was drugged :D

- The way he reacted when he got shot.

- Just the way he is.



I love Marshall :)
