This show is starting to annoy the hell out of me, which of course means that it must be having the desired effect, of stringing the viewers along until the season closer when, if I can hope beyond hope, that somebody will put a bullet in Lauren's head!!!! I am so tired of watching the writers turn all of the good guys into a bunch of idiots.

It'll be interesting to see how the manage to invalidate tonight's ending next week... "My luggage got mixed up at the airport! The spy and I were on the same plane!!!"
This show is just getting utterly annoying. Of course, that's probably not enough to get me to stop watching it, but I'm not sure I can handle too much more stupidity and "miracle" escapes to postpone obvious secrets. They better have an amazing season finale planned to make up for the rest of this trash.

It's pretty evident that the Passenger will revealed to be:
Anyhow, gotta love the Spy Opera of this episode.
I was surprised that Sydney didn't check the airlines to see if Lauren just arrived, or had been in Berlin earlier.
Lauren is one nasty torturing double-agent.
So now we have yet another super-secret organization, the Trust, to keep things simmering.
I can't figure out why the CIA keeps Lauren in the loop when it'd be easy to feed her erroneous info that would implicate her possible mole-ness (even in light of her father taking the fall for everything).

Vaughn found the wig that Sydney said she saw Lauren wore when they met with the hacker in Berlin, and he also found her other (presumably) fake passports too.

I thought Jack would have started feeding Lauren bad info a couple of weeks ago.
I'm getting sick and tired of this bullshit where Lauren is in the same place as Syd/Vaughn and each and every time she manages a narrow escape. The panic room door was ridiculous - they are not similar to elevator doors.
Now we have The Trust (good org.). What's next? The Foundation (bad org.)? The Fraternity (good org.)? The Knights of Columbus (bad org.)???
I'm losing respect for Sark - I can't believe he is showing a sign of weakness by saving Lauren. And I am seriously pissed that they dispatched w/ Djimon's character so effortlessly. That sucked ass, imo.
Kill Lauren already - have Vaughn do it for his character's piece of mind, and ours - the viewers. Bring back the old Sark. Get Weiss more involved in the action. Keep pissing off SpyDaddy so we can watch him go mideval on somebody.

Good to see that they're delving deeper into the Rumbaldi mystique. However, like the rest of you, Lauren's really starting to piss me off. I don't know much longer they can string her character along. (Based on the previews next week, hopefully it'll be coming to an end.) For you OC watchers, she's become our Oliver!!

I did, too. Sometimes this show reminds of Hudson Hawk more and more each ep.

When she kicked that globe I just rolled my eyes. It was a good episode but had some really bad scenes. The story is getting pretty good but Lauren has to be revealed soon.

IIRC Sydney spent quite a long time at SD6 w/out being discovered, so within the Alias universe, I don't find it odd that Lauren hasn't been found out for a few months.
Agreed with what was said about The Passenger above, I am still pissed about reading that untagged spoiler that was posted here a week or two ago.
Main question from this episode - why in the world would Lauren bring that wig home with her? A gun, her passport, OK, but what possible reason could there be for holding onto that wig? It made for a nice visual at the end, but they could've demonstrated her duplicity to Vaughn in another way (like maybe her Covenant HQ ID card
)

Does anyone else miss Will Tippin? I miss Will Tippin. And it felt like Sydney was barely around this episode... yeah, on missions & stuff, but other than that, it was Vaughn/Lauren/Jack/bad guys.
No kidding! Although the Panic Room door stayed open as long as you broke those laser beams. Oh, well. QuickEscapeLauren had to make a break for it somehow.
Nope. Maybe the Covenant makes full-auto pistols or something. 
I don't think Sark was necessarily showing weakness when he saved Lauren. I kind of thought Bomani was screwed when he threatened Sark. What the hell was that about? I thought Sark was more of a "senior partner" in the whole thing, since he and Lauren are the top dogs in the U.S. Covenant cell, and that Bomani was just along for the ride.
Good to see PissedOffJack make a return. It's too bad that the effect of his badass-ness is lessened because there's no way that the show will kill Sloane off. Er... right?
