Two best parts were Jack kicking the crap out of the guys in the movie theater and Vaughn stabbing the guy in the neck.

Nice to see someone other than Syd kick a little ass.

Guess what kids? That post Super Bowl eppy? A bit of a surprise for ya.

They're pulling a HUGE switcheroo on us!! Sneaky ABC.

The
Spoiler:
Ethan Hawke
episode isn't airing till sweeps. They have replaced Episode 13 'Double Agent, with Episode 14 'Phase One' to air immediately after the Super Bowl.

Reason why: JJ Abrams says there will be a SHOCKER of emmense proportions at the end of the eppy. And to keep it under wraps, they fooled us a bit. Supposedly it starts off with a big bang as well. I thought it was interesting when the first Super Bowl press release came out that JJ didn't write the episode. Now he is. And notice how spoiler]Ethan Hawke[/spoiler]wasn't mentioned at all during last night's new promo?

Details below (slight spoilers):

From ABCMedianet

I'm not sure I like the "new" Weiss. It's as if they said "we need an overweight person to do comic relief on the CIA side of things", so they retooled the Weiss character. Boo.

[snipped "slight" spoilers]
While I don't normally get my panties in a bunch where spoilers are concerned, this is one of two shows where I avoid them religiously [Buffy's the other]. Tremendous thanks for the info, but please, next time use the spoiler tags. [Yes, I realize you typed "(slight spoilers)"]

Thank you.

What Rogue said. We appreciate the news, but when you mention guest stars or plot points, please put them in spoiler tags... details can be found in the thread stickied to the top of the TV Talk Forum.
