ALias 5/2
 

wow. normally i don't think about the far fetchedness of this show but for some reason, tonight was just way over the top. the only good part to me was when jack gave vaughn the key to take care of lauren. that just confirms my love of jack's character. plus we have to wait three weeks for the season finale. :mad:

Legacy

An okay episode:

Vaughn's single-minded-ness in getting even with Lauren affects the interrogation with the tooth doctor.

Sloan has to make a deal with the blondies that he breaks just to get the green liquid for Nadia.

Jack has to broker a deal with Toni to get into Sloan's place in Kyoto by overcoming the security system. Toni tries to hire Marshall. Marshall was dumb enough to show her photos of his newborn.

Sydney rescues Nadia, though Nadia does return the favor since Vaughn left Sydney to go chasing after Lauren.

Vaughn's checking out Jack's stash to get geared up to go after Lauren.

Jack and Katya hook up.

The bazooka scene reminded me of something from the Naked Gun movies.

yeah, that was the part where i actually laughed out loud.

But... man... when Vaughn poured that stuff over the doctor, THAT was funny. "AHH!!!" :D

Enjoyed the scene where Toni tried to recruit Marshal.

Jack was great w/ Vaughn and the key, but he really shined when he hooked up w/ his former sister-in-law.

Wow. I didn't realize that was Vivica A. Fox.

Toni made an appearance earlier this season.

Damn T-Storm and weather updates took out about 10 minutes of the show.

Good to see Vaughn becoming Jack. I'm going to miss Lauren if and when she buys it.

In the name of god, WHY??? -screwy-

The minute they get and her f'd mouth of this show, I will be happy as all get out.

Pretty lame episode.

This show can be over the top but the bazooka scene was just bad.

The only good thing about the episode was the Toni/Marshal scene.

That's what make Marshall such a likeable character. He's so sincere and straight-forward.

:up: :

Marshall & Vivica.
Nadia :drool:
Mack daddy Jack hookin' up at the end.

:down: :

Three weeks until the season finale?!? And they wonder why the ratings are low...[Besides stiff Sunday nite competition...]
Vaughn. Ooo. He's grown a set. -rolleyes-

Umm...what happened to Vivica at the end?

I was wondering the same thing

She got her release from prison by assisitng them so I think we're just supposed to assume she was free to go.

It's about time they brought back The Dentist. One in five, bitch!

Vivica Fox looked relatively like ass (compared to how she normally looks, which is stunning), but she's been in prison, so I guess it works.

I loved Vaughn chasing after Lauren. So predictable. Didn't he ever watch Top Gun? You never, ever leave your wingman. Especially when she's Sydney Bristow, and you're trying to get into her pants. Crash and burn, huh, Mav?

And speaking of Vaughn, nice job looking into the rifle scope in Jack's Gun Emporium with the cover still on the scope. His gun-related skills were all over the charts in this episode. First he comes out of the water in Cuba and kills two guys at long range with a pistol, each with one shot. But when he's in the same damn room with Sark AND Lauren, he can't hit either of them with an automatic weapon! The Amazing Unhittable Sark lives to fight another day.

Too bad about the long delay between episodes. Next week is figure skating, and then Alias's time slot is occupied by Regis and his super millionaire show. But in 3 weeks it'll be back for the finale, yay.

I thought the bazooka bit was corny too. My guess is it was either Melissa George saying "it would be cool if I did this," or some suit saying "we need more explosions!"

Thank god, I wasn't the only one to notice this. Is it that hard to ask for a little more consistency?

The episode was rather uneven but the good parts (Toni & Marshall, Jack getting his groove on, the return of the doctor) outweighed the bad (Lauren & the bazooka).

Granted, I want Vaughn to blow Lauren away as much as the next person but I'm not buying the complete personality change. Actually I'm wonderign why Dixon let him back in the office - hey your wife3 betrayed the country and tortured you, maybe you should take a couple days and talk to a shrink. AFter the first meeting it should have been clear that he wasn't fit for duty just yet.

Dixon has been this plot convenience device of late. When you need him to look the other way, he does.

The bazooka scene will live in Alias infamy. That was laugh out loud (unintentionally) funny. :lol:

Sydney should refuse to work with Vaugh until he's cleared by psych to return to work, but of course she won't do that, and Vaughn will once again put her in jeapordy to get Lauren, and I'm sure that will somehow lead to the season ending cliffhanger. :rolleyes:

It was funny when either Sydney or Lauren was croutched down near the tan piece of furniture 'shooting' her gun. It was still making the bang-bang sounds but it was obviously out of amo!!! Gotta love hollywood.

Ugh. I'm actually starting to dislike this show a little bit. It is all over the map and has a very distinct 'making it up as we go along' quality this season.

Not the worst show on the air... but if this were the first season, I wouldn't have continued watching the show. Here's hoping that they rebound with Season 4.

As long as we're discussing plausibility, wouldn't Vaughn be interrogated as a possible Covenant spy? His GF (Syd) mysteriously disappears, then a year later he gets married to a member of the Covenant? And no one things gee, that's odd. We know Vaughn is dumb, but the CIA shouldn't assume that he is.

I agree. I did like that they're giving Vaughn a bit of a dark side, though. After 3 seasons, maybe he can stop being so damn boring.

das

I agree that this episode was all over the place. I had heard that Vaughn was not acting well in this episode and the rumors were so true. I guess he just can't handle the angry husband thing.

:thumbsup: Jack's storage locker.

Looking forward to the last episode but I just can't believe that they're going to make us wait 3 weeks.
