The whole fake hotel room thing reminded me of the opening of Mission:Impossible (the movie). Pretty good episode, though.

Eight-letter word for arrogance: audacity?

I noticed that near the end. I always wondered what would happen if David Brent went nutso.

Yeah, but the more pressing issue would be if you could give away that money if Vaughn did this:

[sad music plays - "So alone. So allllooonnnnneeeeee..."
[Syd cries]
[Vaughn walks to Syd - looks at her]
What are you doing?
[music abruptly stops]
What are you doing?!!
"Are you crying?!!
There's no crying in the CIA!!!

:D

Okay, now I'll add some actual thought on the episode.

Jack is the man. I love his scowl at the end.
I don't understand why they have Syd with the crazy hair? It looks cool but don't you want to attract less attention to yourself?

The episode was okay but didn't really seem to move the storyline much.

Why did they have to bother building the replica hotel room, down to the 700 count sheets? Couldn't they have just tricked him into staying in his real hotel room?

Sydney is hot, her Dad is a BMF

I really enjoyed last night's episode. After a lackluster first half of the season, it's finally getting exciting again. Maybe I think this because Jack is back in form, Sloane is bad again, Sydney and Vaugn are back together...basically, season 2.

My favorite part of last night's episode was the slam cut from the Irish bomb squad cutting the wire to the pictures of the destroyed building. Excellent way to get the point across without a lot of flashy slo-mo explosions (cheaper too, I guess).

A_ _ HOLE?

That was my guess!

Great episode...I could have dealt without the Syd crying bit....not conivincing at all. Vaughn did manage to look cool when he saw her in the parking lot. Jack rules. I'm glad that they toned Marshall down a little bit with the slapstick.
Sark is great....you know he'll just escape French custody.
I kept hoping he'd tell Vaughan that he was doing his wife!

Nine-letter word for someone who can't count to eight:

V _ _ A _ 9 2 _ 3

:)

I am horribly ashamed! ;) (and to think I didn't even bother to count it!!!!!) My apologies....

it's 8 with the '?' on there ;)

Anyone know when we can expect the season finale? ABC said it's all new for the "rest of the season", but I bet they'd pull Alias before May sweeps, or the very least have it REALLY early in May. Anyone know??
