Yikes ...
I was all ready to complain about how this episode was a lame "flashback" cop-out, but after half an hour of "In case you're an idiot and don't know what's going on" sillyness, they hit us with quite a bit. I'm still not keen on this whole prophecy thing, but the way they're handling it is pretty cool so far.

Yeah, I kept thinking of the Simpsons any that one episode where they spoof themselves and have a "cheesy clip show" joke during their clip show. And I was wondering if they received too many complaints of people not understanding what went on. And then it really picks up at the end. Too bad the next episode is three weeks away. Can't wait.

the bad-- having to wait 3 WEEKS for another episode. dangit!!! 
the good--seeing all of sidney's great outfits over the show so far and seeing jack lay the smackdown on that weasel guy whose name i can't remember. it will be even better in a couple of episodes when jack finds out that he ratted on him and jack gets some payback.
all in all for a clip show it really wasn't too bad. i enjoyed it thouroughly.

Pretty good show, though filled with a lot of footage from past episodes.
For a show that goes through a huge recap of Sidney's recruitment into SD-6 and subsequently the CIA, it found a way to push the plot along.
I knew where they were going with the show as soon as Sidney's mom was brought up and Sidney's interviewer never pressed for how her mom died. So having Sidney relive her mom's "accident" has led us to the likelihood of Sidney's mom being alive.
Can't wait for the next episode episode!

Was it me, or were those glasses Sidney wore at the end the exact ones Marshall had shown earlier?

One thing I love is a good recap show. I loved how they blended the whole recruitment thing into the storyline. You really don't know anything about her recruitment.

So what's Lochley's relationship with sidney's dad? There seems to be some past relationship in their exchange (during the shake-down).

I just think Jack's well known as a cold-blooded executant that does not hesitate to do anything to get things done. I guess that's why Haladki was so easily scared.
