I was waiting for a bullet to come through one of the windows, too.

"What would Jack do?"

"Torture? Blackmail?"

I love Irina, if next season is it for Alias they should just give Lena Olin Jennifer Garner's money and spinoff the show with just Jack and her

"Tell her to cut the white wire"

"Cut the blue"

I really hope they kill of Nadia - I always thought she was an unnecessary addition to the show (especially a full-time addition). Nothing against Mia Maestro - she's stunning to look at, but they don't need the character.

Weiss and Marshall were great when they had the Russkie minister on the phone. "What exactly was the green balloon for?"

But the best part of the entire ep was the Jack and Irina Show as they interrogated Elena. Garber can deliver a line better than anyone. "After everything that's happened the last year, I'm learning to have more fun."

You knew they would let Irina go - hope they have her signed to a contract to make some special appearances next season.

yeah, after i got done at irina, i was thinking how nice it is to have someone for jack to feed off of. i hope they bring her back full time.

dhmac

Which is more than enough reason to NOT kill her off!

ravan

I was holding my breath for the 'whatever' they pull... So when they were driving i was thinking 'ooh a crash'. Then he pulls that 'my name isnt' crap and i'm all open mouth gawking and THEN it happens.

Holy crap i pooped my pants!

Yeah they redeemed themselves on the finale, but still I was explaining Lost tonight to my dad and it really seemed quite ludicris upon giving all the twists and turns outlod, and this season of Alias was better then last but not even close to the first two. Hopefully JJ can straighten his stuff out.

Kickass ALIAS!

DEFINITELY better than that boring 120 minute "fate-fate-fate" snoozefest that preceded ALIAS!!!

LOVE THE "HOLY CRAP" CLIFFHANGER!
When did they confirm that ALIAS was given the green light for Season 5? Cuz this episode looked as if it was tailored as a SERIES finale... then they tacked on the "Nadia is still breathing"... but then I did hear Irina bout tellin' Vaughn to come clean with Sydney.

Now if Nadia can survive that gunshot wound, I'm sure Vaughn will survive that out of nowhere carcrash, unless he comes back in flashbacks.


So is this Rambaldi stuff over?

Alias Season 4: A- (last few episodes, and LENA OLIN, make up for the crappy stand-alone eps)

And they'ves got to bring back LENA OLIN!!! (With her knowing Vaughn's secret and all.....)

DeadLamb

good ep, even if it looked like they sort of ran out of money for this ep or something..

In the past they have have broke out the big over the top stuff for the season ending.. oh well, over all it was still a soild ep.. I like the 28 days rip off being I'm a fan of that sort of theme in films etc..

Season over all was not too bad this time, I wished they had done a few more super spy themed eps being this season really put in the "office" time it seems.

Of course as the rest of you have mentioned I also got sort of blind sided by the ending this time too. Like I forgot what show I was watching for a few min or something being as he is talking I was just thinking "Wow not a big cliff hanger this time huh...." then boooooooom..

shoppingbear

OK I haven't watched the first half of the show yet, came home halfway through and watched the end as it finished taping. So, comments on the second-half of the ep:

WAY TO GIVE ME A HEART ATTACK!!! Jumped so suddenly that I dropped something on the cat.

Also, LOVED Jack and Irina while they were talking about interrogating Elena: "I'm not going to torture you... I'm going to let him do it, and he really doesn't care for you" and then Jack's awesome line: "It's been a rather interesting year for me. It's made me reevaluate certain parts of my life. I'm trying to have more FUN...." Best Jack line ever.

MvRojo

Yeah, my heart skipped a beat there. I knew something bad was going to happen since everything seemed so happy with them driving on a nice, sunny day. Of course Vaughn won't die since no one can freaking die on this show.

As for Nadia's future:

lisadoris

The only thing that would have made the finale better is if they had killed Nadia. The fact that Sloane did it would have been great karma.

B.A.

I know Irina told Vaughn to always tell the truth to Sydney, but I don't think she really knew the Truth about "Vaughn". It just so happens that her saying that openned up a big ol' can of shit. Oh screw it - nothing on this show happens by chance or is coincidental. At least we only have to wait until the fall this time to find out what the hell is going to happen.

Could they actually/possibly be done w/ Rambaldi?

FredC

I thought the episode was very blah ex th few scenes mentined above with Marshall/Weiss and Irina/Jack. And of course the last minute. They sure know how to make you want to watch again.

das Monkey

I won't spoiler this since I'm sure everyone's figured it out by now, but Vaughn is the 4th Derevko sister.

lisadoris

While I wouldn't put it past the writers; I'm thinking no.

Bandoman

No no no no, Vaughn is the real Arvin Sloane.

kevin75

actually, there are some over at the sd6 boards who are theorizing that vaughn is actually and he is protecting syd. i didn't say it made sense, i am just saying that's another "possibility" that's out there.

Bandoman

Hmmm, kevin, he could be

B.A.

I actually kind of like the sounds of that.

retihsuhnt

I have to say I jumped a bit w/ the last scene.

I know full well that Thursday at 2000 is Alias impersonating Dead Man Walking, but I want MORE Marshall.

"Its like HS all over again, all the cool kids are going to a party and Im not invited." CLASSIC!

movieking

I was thinking along the same lines of having Rambaldi actually being alive now, as was his old friend (a watchmaker from a season or two ago that was a couple of hundred years old). It doesn't really make sense, but since this is Alias and Irina has died a number of times only to still be alive, you never know.

GCS

Enjoyable final ep.

Irena/Jack -- what can say, EXCELLENT!!! Jack is great period!

Marshall/Weiss -- these guys crack me up. They should do more scenes together for sure.

The end -- saw SOMETHING coming but didn't think it would a freakin' car crash, YIKES! Just figured Vaughan would spill his guts just enough to get you to come back next season.

As far as the Vaughan thing goes I would hate to see his character gone as I do like it, of course he was more fan as the vengeful Vaughan from S3 and early S4 but ....



I do not think that Rambaldi is done though. It will always be a recurring theme.

BTW the Car Crash is a VERY easy way to do have Jennifer off the show for a bit for pregnancy as they can stick her in the hospital for an extended period. Essentially the other crew could go on a few missions on their own (hence needing Nadia back) and handle things. Also they could "accidentally" uncover info about Vaughan in the process. Leading up to the inevitable reveal between Vaughan and Sidney. Sadly I can almost bet that there will be some "loss of memory" eps in the near future.

Any way nicely done this Season. Sure there were some duds but hey they finished strong IMO.
