Maybe it was explained in an earlier episode, but whey does Marshall have a drum kit in his office?

I thought it was a good ep, nice mix of moods. Mrs. Vaughn looked 100 times hotter than she ever had - she is definitely better as the "messy hair in my face" type than she is the "tight-ass ponytail" type. Also, kudos to the producers for only giving Sydney tops that end just short of her waist so her stomach gets exposed whenever she runs.

So Francie is now a fake AND a super-soldier? Whatever.

I'm assuming Sark & Allison trusted Sloane because they're still working for him. Does anyone really think he's working as a double agent?

While it can sometimes be lame, I applaud the writers for dispatching with some of these storylines so quickly. They had two subplots (Syd's murder and the Vaughns lying to each other) that could have easily been dragged out for months. Instead, it looks like both will be resolved in the span of 3 weeks. I like it.

Good to see there are at least 3 people in LA who enjoy hockey.

Also, I think it is beyond question that Weiss is a baddie.

That's exactly what I shouted at the TV when Syd shot her. Didn't she learn from the last time?

B.A.

I was wondering why Sydney didn't tap a shot or two in Alison's head myself. It's not like the Bulgarians would have been too concerned w/ her being eliminated. She definitely needed a little bit of her alter-ego, Julia Thorne, pushing her to do it.

seems though last night episode addressed one major issue on this board:
Lauren, bushy eyebrows and all, is indeed sexy, as per her romp in sexy lingerie every girl wears to work at the office!

X-MEN, it's X-MEN, not X-FILES... Wrong reference...

shoppingbear

Yeah, add me to the "Umm, hello?" list on that one! Like, all that fighting and three bullets didn't kill her two years ago, but she's surprised that EF survived this time? Syd should've delivered her to the hospital personally, IMO.

Gil Jawetz

X-Files did have the immortally stupid "supah-soldiers" though.

shoppingbear

Oh. Oops. My bad! Don't know X-files that well, so I should've known they'd used a similar idea...

Patman

Yes, I meant X-Files, but I understand how X-Men could also crop up in the conversation.

This was a good episode I thought. Good to see Dixon remembering his wife and keeping continuity. Good to see more wacky Marshall stuff. And I'm not going to complain about Sydney's running scenes or Lauren's underwear. And Sloane is great as usual, you always know he's making his own agenda.

So it looks like (spoiler for anyone who didnt see this episode):
Allison is a Highlander now? Gotta cut off her head or something to kill her.

Deleted spoiler tags. The show's already been aired, so it's not a spoiler. The thread is tagged with the date, so it's fair warning for people who don't want to get spoiled. - Static

So then Will is dead? I thought he was in the witness protection program somewhere? Did we ever see Allison's face? God, I really can't remember anything about Allison and I'm pretty sure I saw all of last season.

lisadoris

No Will isn't dead. My last sentence reads "that would hopefully explain the witness protection thing."

I define any stabbign in the stomach as being gutted so that might have lead to confusion. Sorry bout that.

Iron_Giant

1. Why did Allison try to kill the man with a high powered rifle with all those witness around? How close could she have gotten to the man after the shoting, bouncers/body guards or police whould have been there.
-How did she know he would be in the elavator?

Since no one else stepped up to the plate, here's a couple of Sydney jogging photos from this episode....

I figure it is because Marshall is a Q-type character-- always developing cool little spy gadgets like Q always had in his lab. Who knows, maybe one day Sydney will pose undercover in a riot-grrrrl band.

I'd probably wear sexy lingerie to the office too, if my husband & I worked with his hot ex-girlfriend. Good way to try and keep his mind on his wife at the office.

Rogue588

jeezus..

do you guys need EVERYTHING spelled out for you..?

it's painfully obvious from Syd's dramatic reading of this line: "No, she did this. She did this." that the formula in the Rambaldi was responsible for imbuing Fran with gamma rays causing her to mutate into a 7 foot green hued Hulk of a creature responsible for tipping over the ambulance & disposing of the medical staff..

like, duh.

kevin75

thanks for the pics. is there any way you can get some of mrs. vaughn in her skivvies?

Static Cling

Maybe the point was for her not to kill chip-in-tooth guy. The point was for her to kill fake-ID-making guy. That way, chip-in-tooth guy gets spooked, and tries to flee the building. She catches chip-in-tooth guy on his way out of the building.

And she knows chip-in-tooth guy knows that people are after him. So maybe he'll take the fastest route possible away from the club, and maybe there's only one elevator. Or maybe she had a device that tracked the chip's RF. You could explain it away.

Crazy Aoshi

If nothing else, I expect the DVD season 3 set out in about a year...?

mookiemeister

I second that. Now Alias has 2 foxy ladies to drool over now.

Patman

Unfortunately, the shots of Lauren in her skivvies came out too dark. Sorry.

reubs82

My big problem with this episode is similar to everyone else's problem: Sydney SHOULD HAVE shot Allison Dorn in the head. She rarely fails a mission (if ever) and why would they send her to the hospital instead of keeping her with them? I shouted "BULL SHIT!" at the TV at this point.

Also, Lauren was indeed supa-hot in her undies.

Dixon STILL annoys the crap outta me. Come on, he's the ops-director by default. Just a crappy way to keep him in the storyline. I've never liked his character.

I think it's getting a little far-fetched, too.

Finally, why is it assumed that Weiss is a "baddie"? Have I missed something important?

Static Cling

There's a lot of Weiss-hating going around. I don't understand why. I thought his hockey scene with Vaughn was pretty great. He's kind of "Special Agent In Charge of Comic Relief" (okay, so maybe he shares that with Marshall) but most of the time I think he pulls it off well.

Chew

Had the same thought as well.

Once again, Marshall cracks me up.

Meatpants

My assumption has nothing to do with how his character is behaving - I actually like him, as opposed to Marshall, who I hate. But they've made numerous references to missions going awry. Remember when Vaughn was captured a few weeks ago? They never explained how it happened. Weiss was conveniently outside the van when it happened. And since when did everyone start pouring out their hearts to him?

IMO, his character has just been conspicuously innocent, if that makes any sense.

And thanks for the pics up there
