I'll repeat the "Wow" comments....errr, Wow.

I guess if you are trying to get new viewers into a show that has long term arcs continuing for two seasons, you might as well destroy the whole environment and start from nearly scratch.

I'm not exactly how I feel about the future of the show, but if they can pull this kind of stuff off ever so often, it will continue to be good.

Ok, well I won't be watching again. That was just bad.

My first thought too.

Wow!

I am going to say, WOW what a great episode. J.J. what are you going to us. I hope the rest of this season can match this episode, and I hope all the Super Bowl crowd was watching, because this was one heck of an hour of network tv.

So.. have you guys seen the ending to this show? Because of all the Bay Area news about tear gas and shyite... I'm only like 20 minutes into it. Some old guy is being tied up to a chair with leather straps (by another guy).

Shouldn't the chick have something to do w/ the leather scenes?

Now he's getting shocked.

We'll miss you!!
Don't come back when you end up buying season 1 on DVD.

Makes you wonder what Sloane has planned for Phase 2. Sloane must have been onto the Bristows for quite a long time.

Stick to it...I'm on the west cost, and I saw it as the same time as the east coasters. It's going to be amazing.

HOLY CRAP!!

What a great episode. ABC really dropped the ball by not airing this ep right after the game.

Poor Francie. What a swreve at the end.

I had a feeling Sark and Sloane were up to something, not of this scale though.

I can't wait to see how they resolve the Dixon situation.

I wish I would have recorded this.

i guess ur in the minority here my friend.

and i think i'll follow suit with pretty much all the other posts in this thread about this episode.....

wow

Im still doing a happy dance about this episode so please bear with me, but YES. Thats what Im talking about.

"Whats was wrong with the black one?" NOT A DAMN THANG MS. GARNER, and to top it off you had a riding crop. You go girl.

I was worried not a week ago about the dumbing down of this show, but if they keep this up I might not be watching anything else.

Poor Francie, she finds "jungle fever", cafe turns a profit, and she winds up dead in the meat locker. Not a good thing.

That was an awesome episode from top to bottom, bring on more like it. Excuse me I must continue my happy dance.

I enjoyed it, but I certainly don't think it's the best episode of the show. Sure, a lot happened, but they've done some really stellar episodes, particularly 'Truth Be Told', 'Almost 30 Years', and the Marshall/Ariana trilogy, and I hate to use the phrase, but this was a bit "dumbed down" for the masses. Loved it ... just not ready to proclaim it the best we've seen.

WOW, great episode, i cant belive everything that happened, at first i thought that Francie may have been a spy the whole time and faked her death but im most likely wrong, but wow that was awesome.

This was the first time I watched the show and I may keep watching...

after i saw francie talkin on the phone and then they panned to the blood on the wall i was totally expecting to see Will dead on the floor. man was i way off.

Hmmm, wasn't Will supposed to get here away from the city. Where is he???

So "Alliance" are bad guys... right?

WOW! What a great episode! Man, this was great TV! My guess is that ABC told JJ that they loved the show, but it was just too confusing for the newbies. So, JJ ended all the SD-6 double-agent stuff and just has a general good-guy/bad-guy scenario now. But what a scenario it is!

To echo the sentiments, WOW. This brings the show into a WHOLE new direction. I'm really interested to see how they do this because a major plot element has been Sydney's not being found out and her pulling double duty on missions. Obviously (although given this show, maybe not so obviously), she's all CIA now, as I doubt she's gonna be working for Sloane much anymore. I also wanna know what's gonna happen with Dixon and Marshall. They are both great, and I'll be really pissed if they are both written out of the show.

I thought the same thing. I was so pumped that Will was dead (because I like when major characters are killed ... shows guts), but given half a second to think about it, that would make no sense anyway. Infiltrating Francie, however ... that's just brilliant.

das

You got it.

And the problem is that the double-agent stuff is a big part of what made the show so great. Without it, it's just another spy show, albiet a really cool spy show, but still just a spy show.

I think unlike most of us, J.J.'s favourite number is 47.
Not only were there no titles, the credits were misleading. Where was Lena?

Well, that's really ABC's fault. Hell, doesn't FOX still replay 24 on FX?
