Melissa George grew up in my city, Perth

She came well known in Australia for her role in our top rating local soapie called Home and Away.

Then she left for the US and i guess is now doing ok for herself

She is a naturally very attractive lady

Finally watched this. Thoughts:

Why send Sydney incognito to spy on Sark when he knows what she looks like? Doesn't the CIA have other agents who wouldn't be in danger of being recognized? And if Sark and that dude were so worried about people seeing the pictures, why meet in a public place?

Now, why was Sydney at the meeting with Sloane? The CIA knows how much she hates the man, dothey really think it is wise to send her to a formal meeting like that? I certainly hope our own CIA has more agents than the one in Alias, because it seems like they 5 people doing everything.

because sloan view sydney as a daughter, and because sloan's wife and syd get along really well, as a mother to a daughter relationship.

Without knowing more about Vaughn's wife, it's hard to say if an Australian accent is out of character. Just because her dad is American doesn't mean her mom is, or that she grew up in America rather than Australia.

OK I have to conceed, that's a good point. Maybe the good senator from Virginia is married to an Aussie, and maybe Lauren did spend part of her growing-up years in Australia. It just seems funny that such an obvious accent wouldn't be talked about, mentioned, discussed, whatever (like, when Sydney was asking how Lauren and Vaughn met, what their wedding was like, etc, or when she was ranting to her Dad about the first briefing where they argued, etc). Why didn't Weiss mention something when he was talking about who her Dad was, etc? It seems like a character's foreign accent is usually explained on a show... like, Kovac on ER (or a lot of other characters on that show, actually), the writers include something in their background to explain it. Not a BIG deal, just another reason not to like Lauren... ;)
