I was dissapointed with this weeks episode. It just seemed like the same old plot as every other week. Characters find out something they have to go after, they chat about it, Marshall makes a joke, they go undercover and are home in time for dinner.
What Vaughn did was beyond stupid.

Great point.

that was just one of the things that made me think i misseed a whole bunch. i didn't remember anyone ever telling the CIA that sloane was alive.

Maybe I'm giving the characters too much credit but I just figured SpyDaddy discussed it with Dixon before he revived Sloan. If not, it really isn't the first time a character has risen from the dead on this show now is it.

I wish they would just solve this Rambaldi thing. It just keeps going ang going. Every time they go for some new part it is "the key to Rambaldi" or something like that. SOLVE IT ALREADY.


I just don't understand everyone's obscession with Rambaldi. There are people all over the world poring millions into figuring it out. People turning on their countries for it. Even if they do solve it, only one or two people are going to benefit. Everyone else will be sitting there realizing they wasted millions on it. I hope the Covanent pays well to have all these henchmen running around. They sure wouldn't get anything out of it. It would be funny if turned out Rambaldi made this huge contraption and when put together, it was just some weird pizza oven or something.

Ditto. Rimbaldi's plan is a little too complex now. What if Sydney's sister had her hand cut off? What if a single piece of Rambaldi's puzzle was lost or destroyed? None of Rambaldi's plan would work.

I can stretch disbelief to believe that, maybe, some guy a few hundred years ago could loosely predict future events. And sure, maybe I can believe he was also a great inventor. But good lord... now we have some guy several centuries ago who, without the aid of supercomputers, could predict the exact DNA sequence of a person in our time, and who could also design a chemical that can manipulate muscles into drawing a picture? I think the cable holding up my disbelief snapped, and I'm watching it plummet into the river below.

I would have given a $100 to see Vaughan shoot Sydney's sister in the head, turn to Sloan, and say "Where's your Rambaldi now?"

You know as well as I do that the blood from her head would contain an encoded message from Rambaldi himself. That message, of course, could only be decoded by a secret decoder ring from a box of Cheerios in Sicily ... no wait, Chechnya.

:lol: Oh hey, that would be GREAT!!! :lol: And then it will turn out the pizza has mind-control serum in it, and then all the CIA will turn into Zombies, and then...

No... the MOON! Rambaldi's followers made it to the moon. A secret piece is hidden in the flagpole from the flag we left behind up there (the CIA hid it there for safe keeping). But even though that flag's been sitting there umolested for 40+ years, the Covenant and the CIA (and the Trust, and the AFLCIO, and NAMBLA) will all suddenly try and capture it at exactly the same time, so we can have a gunfight were nobody except the "red shirts" get shot (unless it's sweeps, and then maybe Vaughan will get shot, but he'll be back for the next week).

And Project: Black Hole? It's really a black hole. Rambaldi used it to time travel.

And Rambaldi invented lava lamps too. And bean bag chairs.

And invented hoola hoops and silly putty.

You forget to mention that son of a bitch, FICA.

I seriously think that Rambaldi is alive today and caught up in this whole thing and somehow will be sent back in time by the end of the series (with all the things happening in the series, it isn't much of a stretch that time travel is possible). My guess is that Slone is actually Rambaldi (he changes his name in the past). Slone seems to have the most knowledge of all things Rambaldi of any of the cast members and can create the Rambaldi artifacts from memory.
