"Superb"

It was refreshing to see someone save Sydneys life, keeps the realism of the show a little bit when she cannot fight her way out of every situation. I dont know how long one would truly have air in the coffin, but a flight from America to Cuba seems like a really long time to be in a coffin. Random errors aside - I loved this episode.

I liked seeing Marshalls wife, Carrie, and there son in this episode. Having random characters from the past come back (just to see that there is life outside of the world of APO) is big. Seeing Carrie and Mithcel, while small in the sense of the episode was pretty big for me.

The mission itself at the beginning dragged a little long, but I liked seeing Sydney talk back to the man - only to be put inside of a grave. I liked the phone conversations she had when she was in the grave, repeating herself letting everyone else know she was starting to lose it. The thermal satelitte thing was a nice twist when the battery ran out too. Vaughn and Sydney finnaly doing something halfway romantic was a long time coming. Vaughns father storyline feel by the waistside in this epsiode - like it should. It was good seeing them dancing at the end, makes me feel like they are in fact still together.moreless

I like the beginning wheres Marshall at home, getting the call and feeling a bit bad about his sick child. Another 5 minutes go and he gets to be something else.

You see almost the whole APO squad locked into Union station and Marshall on his own to Cuba, no special tools just Marshall trying to save a helpless Sydney in a coffin.

In this episode you see more of our usual tech guy with the ackward lines thats just makes you laugh. Not that he saves Syd but he has to take the guys eyes too. Weee.

Just an episode you'd love to go back to, i sure did this evening!moreless

after watching about two minutes of the episode i noticed that there was a new director, directing the episode i had to check as fast as i could and i found out that Fred Toye directed the episode, he's a genius!

this episode was very good, it was back to the good old alias with a very good plot and i really enjoyed that this episode was mostly about marshall. i've only seen the 13 first episodes of the season but this was definitely the best so far this season.

Trivia
ADD TRIVIA
- CPR should be performed at the ratio of 30 compressions to 2 breaths. Marshal obviously doesn't know CPR because whatever he was doing it wasn't 30:2. Edit
- Number 47: The locker containing the hard drive is # 471. Edit
- Number 47: The hard drive is found in locker 80237. 8 + 0 + 2 + 37 = 47. Edit
Notes
ADD NOTES
- Music from this episode includes: "Ran Kan Kan" by The Mambo Kings "Baile De Los Ninos" by Johnny Polanco Edit
- The so called Danish in this episode is very poor. None of the actors who speak Danish are real danes. Ulrich Thomsen who played the German 'Ulrich' in the episode is Danish, however. Also, judging from the street signs, the opening scene clearly doesn't take place in Copenhagen, Denmark. Edit
- This episode received the 2005 Emmy nomination for Outstanding Costumes For A Series. Edit
Quotes
ADD QUOTES
- Sydney: Do you know how hard it is to maintain cover while dancing the salsa in three-inch heels? Vaughn: Actually, I do, but let's not go into that. Edit
- Marshall: Oh god. It's oozing. It's oozing everywhere, sir. Jack: (via cell phone) That means you've ruptured the macula. The eye is useless, abandon it. Approach the second one gently, like a soft-boiled egg. You're going to need a digging instrument to assist with this. Marshall: I've got a spork. Jack: What's a spork? Marshall: It's like a half-spoon... half-fork, will that do? Jack: That will work. Edit
- Marshall: Syd.. This guy, he buried you alive. Sydney: Yeah, but he cheated. He hit me with a car first. Edit
