My lowest rated episode of Alias so far. I thought the entire episode was pretty boring, with the exception of two parts that I can remember. The beginning was a complete waste of time, with Sydney undergoing about ten minutes of ranodm tests that we really didn't get much insite to. Tell her your giving her tests, have her not want to, end of story. Why do we have to watch actors complain about what is being done to Sydney for ten minutes and watch her take random tests where all she says is a letter. I thought the entire first half of this episode was very poorly written. the second half picked up a little bit and saved the episode when Sloane was tricked into killing the man that would have been the tying vote. I thought the scene right after the vote where Slone put all the pieces together in shock was amazing. I dont know how much the SD 9 guy will play in the future, or the bad guy that he has joined up with. The veyr last scene about the prophecy was decent, but I strongly dislike the idea of Sydney in custody.
This episode really is different and somehow that makes it weaker, but the high stakes the everything else is going on, makes it stronger.. so.. in the end - very enjoyable episode.
The picture thing and prophecy - what a storyline.. definetly not what you expect and all the dark and power it promising.. I really sometimes wonder how Sydney manages to do that.. and the whole secrecy in the start.. not telling her what it is about, treating her as a lab rat.. And then the Solan storyline.. to be honest, I did not get much of it and it did looked little weird but the ending fixed it all.
Definitivamente un capítulo capital en esta serie. Sí, el dibujo en el manuscrito de Rambaldi era Sidney, y la profecía la involucra tanto como para que un departamento especial de la CIA que se ocupa de casos paranormales la persiga hasta detenerla. Cualquier intento tanto de ella como de su padre como de Michael es en vano.
También conocemos al fin a The Man, quien no es más que un simple ruso que anda (además de andar matando gente grossa) comprando a miembros de la Alianza, cuiki.
Aparte: es tan simple como hacer un enigma y no dar ni pista de lo que se trata para hacerme caer?
This is not my favorite episode I thought it was a little dull and slow and the Sydney thing kind been done before to me any way Sloane suspect the a close friend may be on the side of the enemy I do not hate the episode it just wasn't my taste for a series like alias but we did learn quit a lot about Rambaldi in the episode which made is decent enough more me to like it but I found the ending to be pretty basic even thow it was tense my overall rating is 8.5 the end
OK, so if you hated the Rambaldi storylines, this episode is definatley not for you! I am however a huge fan of this arc, which i why this is one of my favourites of the season. So the opening scenes were fantastic really building up our curiosity aswell as Sydney's. Making us long for more.
Breaking into the Vatican was a great scene where we see how great a team Syd and Vaughn are together and how they should never be taken apart!
Then there was the prophecy. A fantastic, yet creepy part of the Rambaldi story that just ichtes your curiosity!
So all in all, one of my favourites that sets up the prophecy arc well.
