The way they killed Nadia was just so fricken harsh! I couldn't believe it! I was in shock, I was actually expecting her to stick out the four episodes till the finale, but the way they did it, it just seemed soo perfect. There was no real other way for them to set up the final couple episodes especially if they are going int the direction I belive they are going.
My major gripe is that J.J. Abrams didn't write the 100th episode or even more importantly the SERIES FINALE! That Just kinda bugs me... i know he's busy with MI3, but still this is his baby and he should have taken the time to end it.

It may be Abrams baby, but lets be honest here, he gave it up for adoption a couple of seasons ago. He stated in a recent interview that he apparently loves the way they're planning on closing it out and wanted to be the one to direct the series finale, but they had him half-way across the globe doing promotional work for MI3.

The Anna-Vaughn fight was pretty brutal, especially the Vaughn face plant into the glass.
Is it me, or has Amy Acker aged a bit in just 2 years since Angel?
It seemed to me that this episode just flew by.

Good episode.
The scene with Anna standing over Syd after the truck crashed reminded me of that scene in Austin Powers where Scott keeps asking why Dr. Evil just doesn't shoot them in the head.

I'm excited to see Syd as a deep cover agent again.
The ghost of Nadia was terribly annoying - the one part of the show that bugged me.
I was wondering how long it would take Vaughn to realize something was wrong w/ Syd.
I want to know who Grace is working for - it can't be Prophet Five.
And they actually killed a bad guy - and one of the major ones to boot. I was hoping they wouldn't drag out the two Syd's any longer than necessary - and they actually came through.

Sark also has that night with Rachel. Speaking of Rachel, I think she may be onto Thomas. Or she either finds out later and takes him out or he takes her out when she finds out what he's up to. I hope he doesn't kill her.

Excellent episode! Unlike others, I liked the scenes with Nadia; they went to show that Sloane still has some amount of humanity left to him.
Commercial breaks seemed a lot better this week.

Exactly. "No, I will not shoot you, instead I will light this trail of gas on fire so that your vehicle explodes, and I will walk away before confirming that you are, in fact, dead."
Vaughn's so smart. The old "we were never in Cartagena" trick get's 'em every time.
