I was home and just thought I would start it as reminder that a new show was on this evening. I could do it a few days earlier if that is what you prefer.

This show goes to commercial every five minutes - it's so damn annoying.

That's why I switched to Sopranos on Sunday night once it started. No commercial breaks are a big plus in my book.

Didn't see the ep., but Spy Daddy always puts some serious smack down on whomever he selects. Lauren is in for it.

Jack Bristow kicks some major ass. I loved the look on his face when the lightbulb went off in his head after he heard Lauren. Awesome, awesome, awesome. I knew it would be either Jack or Weiss who finds out about her. I want him to put a bullet in her head if Vaughn doesn't do it first. And they need to play some Rage Against the Machine in the background for a little flavor.

Now that the Rambaldi device #45 is missing maybe they will bring back Kendall. It would be awesome if the producers could sign Lena Olin to a contract so she could come back, if not - then get someone else and say she had plastic surgery. This show needs that character.

Lauren showed she had a little bit of a heart when she was talking to Sark about Dixon's kids - I wonder how they will play that out.

Oh yeah, it was great to see Dixon and Syd working together in the field again.

I was on the phone near the end but was trying to watch the show. What exactly did Lauren say that led to Jack's reaction?

To Vaughn, she said something to the effect of - "Not if I see you first, love."

I almost wished the writers would have introduced a sound effect like a car screech (as you'd hear on "Scrubs") when Jack made the connection that Lauren was the mole.

Must have missed something in the previous episodes. What made Jack come to suspect its her? Waht's the significance of what Lauren said to Vaugh?

The same phrase was on the tape of Sark's phone call on the plane.

Dixon's got a long fuse...but it goes to an atomic bomb.

Bada-bing, bada-boom. We have a winner.

Damn, I can't wait 'til he finds out that Lauren is Sark's counterpart in SD-6's North American operation.


You know what sucks - is they will probably leave us w/ one hell of a cliffhanger over the summer.

Glad to see the Rumbaldi story arc play a key role in an episode for a change. It's been vastly under used this season compared to s1 and s2. At any rate, s3's starting to pick up some steam!

You guys are very observant. I didn't even make the connection even after I realized Jack knew something was up with Lauren at the end of the episode. I wonder how confident is his suspicion of Lauren. He will probably have to do something to test her loyalty. Just because of her saying the same phrase as Sark doesn't prove she's a double-agent.

But the CIA guys already suspect that there's a mole in their organization. If they weren't thinking that, then the phrase similarity might not have been a huge thing... but since they already suspect a mole, this thing probably raises some big flags in Jack's head.

I liked the inclusion of Quarashi's "Stick 'Em Up" at the start of the dune buggy scene. That's a kick ass song.

The Rambaldi artifact was being studied in Suite 74... I guess they've done 47 to death, so they had to flip it around.

Is Sloane working with Lauren or not? Either:

1) Lauren found out that the psychiatrist had traveled to see Sloane, and for that reason, used her log-in to access the FAA files, or...

2) Sloane invited the psychiatrist to see him for the sole purpose of Lauren being able to pin the file access on her while she was there (and to get a little nookie in the meantime).

This show has always been crazy and unrealistic, but I miss when it wasn't so silly.
