Alias

Mom seems out of the picture and now all the bad things go after father again - he staged the things in Madagascar, ordered the explosives to get read of mother.



And Vaughn gets that and he is not only one but even bigger secret will be revealed when Sydney goes to a mission and realize the weapons she has come to spy on are children and that brings back her own memories - she did the same things.. and by going deeper she figures it all out and to be honest, that was a stunning turn.. what a trick.. I never even thought that. She never had a change..

Cuando lo que más querés te decepciona, cuando te das cuenta que no sólo te mintió sino que lo hizo para sacar provecho él, perjudicándote. Ésto le pasa a Sidney en este episodio y espero que le sirva para replantearse quienes son los malos y quienes los buenos o, mejor dicho, que nadie es tan malo ni nadie tan bueno en esta vida tan compleja aunque parezca tan simple (a la vez que es una cosa es la otra).

Bien Vaughn delatando a Jack, bien el misterio de la mujer de Sloane (demostrando que nadie es tan inteligente y nadie tan tonto).

The end of the episode made one of the most blcokbuster reveals of the entire series up until this point. I thought the entire episode was pretty boring actually, but it did have a lot of high points in it that made me like the episode. I thought the continuation of Emily Sloans mystery took a huge turn in this epsiode when the drug that makes it seem that she could be alive was brought to Arvins attention. I think in the next episode we will continue to see him lose it, maybe even dig up his wifes grave to see what is in it. The end of the episode was just...amazing. I see Vaughn and Sydney growing closer and closer byt he episode and it is just a metter of time until the love triangle becomes full circle will Will and Vaughn. Overall, I think the episode was just what everyone expects from season 2 at this point - nothing but surperb.

Sydney was always said to be an amazing spy to have skills like no other person. While her skills have always been hers it seems she has had some training along the way. The scene at the beginning is the only real big action scene which was very cool but that was pretty much it for the episode.



Again we turn to Marshall; I don’t think his funny explanation of gadgets will ever get old. Lena Olin was missing from this episode but that didn’t stop Jennifer and Garner and Victor who plays her father Jack from doing great scenes together. The scene at the end in the rain is especially powerful.



This episode has a lot of ground to cover. Most notably is the next generation weapon, which turns out to be sleeper agent kids. Which I find to be very creepy. From the beginning I had a feeling this might lead back to Sydney it only makes sense that she being the amazing agent that she is was part of the original project. The nice surprise was that it was her father who was in charge of the project and that what Sydney’s mother was sent to do was to uncover information about this very project. Now either the writers had planned for this to be the case all along or they found the perfect match to everything they set up as a back-story for Sydney and her family. Meanwhile Vaughn finds out that Jack was behind the bombing of the cabin not Irina. He plans to tell Sydney but after the Christmas project ordeal she figures it out for herself. I thought that finding out Jack was behind the bombing would take longer but I guess the timing worked well coinciding with Sydney learning the truth.



As I already mentioned the writers did a great job in making this piece of the puzzle work in perfectly with what had already been established. Each twist was great ad they defiantly know where they are taking everything they are doing this season. And once again they are doing a top-notch job with the dialogue.



The episode was just one more piece to solving the great puzzle that is Alias and that makes it a 10 out of 10 in my book. This episode is going to have long-term ramifications for Sydney and her father. Their relationship seem to have been getting as each episode went on this season but now it might never be the same.

Francie's restauraunt is now open for buisiness.



Irena left her earings behind in her cell, and Sydney found them. Irena is definately up to something.



Irena doesn't show up in this episode.



Sloan tells Jack exactly how he killed Emily and why, and how Emily may have evaded her death. So the question now, is she really alive?



Vaughn figures out that Jack framed Irena and tells him if he doesn't tell Syd the truth he'll tell her himself.



Sydney finds out that her father made her a part of project Christmas. And that she was trained to be a spy at a very young age. And she works out what Irena's real mission was when she was sent to spy on Jack & the CIA.



The end was cool, with Syd telling her father that she'll never forgive him for what he did. Then she goes to Vaughn and cries on his shoulder.

This just wasn't my episode. Iwasn't really interested during this episode, and only felt satisfied with the ending.



Sydney has some *weird* parents for sure. The whole first season she couldn't get along with her father. And then the second season Sydney finally starts to trust him ( so do the viewers ) and then he does something like this. Jack isn't that much better from Irina, atleast not for Sydney.



So Sydney was trained to be a spy. I knew immediatly when you saw the children ( great story, btw. Sad :( ) and with Sydney's gap in her memory that she was trained too. But obviously Sydney figured it out too. I guess that's harsh, when all you want to do is escape from the spy-life to find out that you were made to be a spy. Spying's her life now. And I think Sydney is going to have some major issies with that.



Irina wasn't in this one. Too bad, I really like her. Sydney and Jack's relationship is ready to be thrown away in teh trash righ now, so maybe that means that Syd will come closer to Irina. But if I were her I'd watch out, Irina isn't a sweetie-pie either.



So Will keeps getting cuter and cuter. He's just teh best friend you can have. Francie's restaurant is open, and it looked very much like a bar but who cares;). Would be a nice meeting spot for all our friends.



The ending was heartbreaking. I loved the way Sudney talked to Jack, and the way she showed once again that she'll never forgive him. I think this time it's more for real though. But the absolutely most briliant thing was obviously that rain, and Sydney walking into the CIA office like a drowned cat. With Vaughn always standing by.

Keeping my Vaughn/Sydney shipper feelings out: Brilliant ending! ;)



So the ending made up a lot, but I just wasn't dragged into this episode. I'm hoping the next episode, will be as cool as "Trust Me" again!
