Wow, my head is swimming, so many relatives, so little time. It was nice to see Izabella Scorupco again, that was a nice bonus (loved the "Consider this the second time the CIA rejected you." line).

I had to do a double-take when they showed Joel Grey as "Sloane" (we have to assume the brother of Arvin Sloane).

This is the "twin's" first appearance. This twin thing seems very lame.

Having been watching S1 lately, as well as this current season, it really has gone down hill, no? Everybody's parents live (ok, maybe Vaughan's didn't actually live), doubles, blah. But I still like the show, better than most other shows on TV.

So what happens now, they go after the "real" Arvin Sloane? Should be interesting.

I don't think it's Sloane's twin, but a brother, like Irina and Katya, or Sydney and Nadia.

I'm pretty sure that it's that emcee guy from the Kit Kat Club. I feel a plotline with aging Nazis in South America coming on...

The blonde chick that Vaughan had a chance to get his freak on with was hot!! Did you see that nurse outfit!! Shit I want to bang her

Ehhh this episode was ok, I agree with most of the other posters that the whole "family" thing is getting out of hand, who did it, who did, blah, its getting old real quick. And this back and fourth shit about Syd's Mom, shes evil, shes not evil, she evil shes not evil, shes alive, she dead, that shit is getting real annoying, like a fucking nat at a picnic buzzing around. Go in one direction, and finish it, damn.

What was the point of the chocolate and knowing she was allergic, going to the hospital for a day, then back in prison WTF! Syd could have easily visited her in prison.

Oh ya and let me guess, secure deliveries of priceless artifacts are always:

a) done late at night
b) in a dark fucking alley/abandon town with nobody around and raining
c) lets fucking cars pull up right beside it
d) the light is fucking red for like 10 minutes, run that shit NOBODY IS AROUND, you are the CIA FUCK IT!!
e)1 pansy ass guard in the back, no gun, no radio for help, what a puss.y, i would have stomped those bitches like Michael Flatley when they tried to crawl up the hole
f) all that fucking talking and noise making Vaughan and the girl I want to bang were making and nobody heard shit
g)where was that laser when they boarded the truck, up Vaughan's ass, he said that shit was fragile, I am sure banging it the fuck around boarding a truck did good for it.

Gimme a break!! Then again its TV and I love Smallville, and ya, that shit is real believable too. LOL

And when the fuck is Weiss gonna bang Nadia, I mean shit come on man. She hott, and she got a great rack.

I'm not entirely sure that Joel Grey is a brother of Sloane. He could be an imposter. Let's not jump to conclusions. Either way i liked the last few episodes, it seems like the rest of the episodes will be more story arc and less stand alone.

I also have the feeling that the "new" Sloane is just someone pretending to be the real Sloane and not a brother.

The blonde was Izabella Scorupco, best known for being a Bond girl in "Goldeneye".

If Joel Grey truly is Sloane's previously undisclosed evil twin, I'm giving up on this show.

Right before the ending, I actually started clapping as all the connections were being made back to Sloan. I enjoyed this show so much more when Sloane is a bad guy. Granted, I still think he has other motives and it will come out that he's "bad." But I was very dissapointed to see the evil twin/imposter/cloan - indicating that Sloan has nothing to do with it. Sigh.

I read the info in the program guide for next weeks episode, and dammit! spoilers!
Spoiler:
The new "Sloane" is apparently an imposter...

and also Sydney apparently helps Sloane to get the imposter...which means the whole threat of Sloane being wrongfully accused will go out the window in less than 30 probably, although I guess most fans hate Sloane so they wouldnt care if he was wrongfully accused.

Could someone please recap the last exchange between Arvin & Jack? Do they know Vaughan was the one who swiped the manuscript?
