Quick question from an Alias newbie...I just started watching this season, but was confused so went back and started watching the previous seasons. The highlighted letter in each location - do they mean anything? Do they add up to spell something? Or do they just pick a random letter in the word to highlight? Thanks a lot.

OMG! This episode borrowed a couple of scenes from Tarantino (Sydney locked in a coffin, and Marshall inadvertently shooting the main bad guy while putting the cell phone gun together), and I was ROTFLMMFAO for like 10 minutes straight as Marshall had to use a spork to scoop out an eyeball. Jack was like "what's a spork?" HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Oh damn, funny episode. Marshall rocks. (Also LOL when Marshall was singing a lullaby to his son Mitchell on the phone half a world away).

Best episode this season and one of my favorites of the series. It felt like Alias of old. Drew Goddard (Welcome To Liberty Village) and Marshall Flinkman strike back! We need more like this.

Yes, awesome episode....I may actually start watching this again. I always found him somewhat overrated on BtVS & Angel, but Drew Goddard did a very nice job to bring me back into the Alias fold.

WHAT A HUGE DIFFERENCE...I dont know who directs each episode, but that one LOOKED like an Alias episode...no claustrophobic close ups...no ambigious office (was tonight the first long shot in the new office?)
While I would like an on-track storyline, this was a good start

Give Marshall the Emmy now for comedy! Offically one of the best supporting TV characters ever after tonight. I would love to have a buddy like Marshall and would not have a problem gushing over his baby pictures. It won't be long before he has his kid's picture projected onto a full moon, or at least on an unblockable popup on abc.com....

Great great fucking episode!!!
One of the best of the series, i shit you not.
Marshall needs more screen time for sure.
Loved how the office was locked down and were basically powerless, loved it.
Loved the scene where the old lady "liked watching him" in the store he was at with the chickens, classic!
Now this is how Alias should be, nobody was whining, nobodys pus.sy was aching, straight up Alias.
Spork, LOL!
Jack Bristow is a pimp!

I have missed a lot of episodes this season, but this is one of the best I've seen in a LOONG time! (Self-contained episode, correct?)
