Alias 11/17/02
 

Getting this week's Alias thread started: Will Sydney be able to save Vaughn from the terrible virus affliction he's suffering from? Will her mother give up the antidote information? Is Sloane been driven over the edge yet in seeing fleeting Emily appearance around town?

I get an affiliate for ABC, and they have it delayed because of the football game. Argh! It doesn't come on until 1:30 AM my time. Won't be able to see it until tomorrow, as long as it tapes okay.

I thought the episode was ok, but not the best of the season. Couple observations:

Not enough action
Too much sentimentality
Not enough Marshall
Too much shirtless Sloane

A good episode, quite a few interesting twists...an enjoyable episode, but overall, nothing too special this season.

does anyone know the name of the song when syd went to take vaughn's blood? it started off with something like, 'slumber, my darling' and sounded a bit like allison krauss.

Where the hell is Dixon? On vacation?

Also, does Sark know of Sydney's affiliation with the CIA? I am thinking no, but am not very sure...

yea, i am wondering that also, if he does its ganna be funny!

pretty good episode, but in two weeks it looks a whole lot better Did anyone else just think that ending w/ Sloan was a little too obvious? what do you think was on Sark's piece of paper?

You have to wonder if Sark has blown Sydney's cover with Sloane with that piece of paper. The implications are scary as hell for both Sydney and Jack.

Vaughn...what a dope!

Will is getting himself deeper and deeper into some standardize testing doo doo.

I'm wondering too. My initial thought was about Jack for some reason...

When that chick with the English accent was getting out of the car, I though it was Will's :drool: intern from last season. :( Oh well...

No, the British chick does work at the paper that Will used to work at until he got the boot. It was a shame though, because Will's assistance was a major hottie.

I've been wondering the same thing about Dixon.

I'm pretty sure Sark knows. Syd's mother obviously knew before she turned herself in, and he is her right hand man.

How about that decontamination scene? :hump:

It wasn't as good as last week, but still okay.

I loved the geisha get-up. I bet some people found it unrealistic, but I liked it. It's always fun to hear the different accents.

Dixon and Francie are almost never on-screen. Depressing, but true. Perhaps they are off having their own secret adventures at SD-5 or something.

Best scene of the season so far, I was almost turning Japanese. Otherwise an enjoyable character-driven episode that stirred up the plotlines. Mom sure looked fine herself in the preview. Also gotta learn me some of that geisha-fu.

Shirtless sloane .. hahahaha

when the paper scene in the ambulance came up, I thought Jack too, but then something about his dead wife made more sense.
Sounds like something the writers have debated about too, since they make it up as they go along

doesn't sloane recognize syd's geisha voice?

Good ear! It was 'Slumber My Darling' sung by Alison Krauss. It's on the album 'Appalachian Journey' by Yo-Yo Ma, Edgar Meyer and Mark O'Connor.

Good episode though I can go without anymore shirtless Sloane moments. I also miss Dixon maybe he's still recovering from accusing Sydney of being a traitor? Who knows.
About the paper, maybe it has something to do with Sydney's mom? As far as we know Sloane doesn't know the CIA has her in custody. If they're collaborating on Rembaldi artifacts that might make sense.

You have to wonder if Sydney didn't just crap her panties after seeing Sloane alive, and then getting the double whammy of seeing Sark in the same room, and then having Sark have the goods on her and her dad.

many thanks!

I really liked the episode. I am thinking that the paper has something to do with Sloane's wife, and not Sidney and Jack. I can't believe that I have to wait two weeks for the next episode.

My guess about the letter is that Sark forged a letter from Irina ordering Sloane's assassination.

This isn't necessarily related to last nights episode, but did they ever say what, exactly, was injected into Sloan's neck when he became a member of the Committee or whatever the secret organization is called?

Probably something that would kill Sloane via remote detonation if he double-crossed the Alliance.
