Really good episode, with some pretty funny moments. Rachel running away, Marshall bringing up the spork incident from last season, "your dad is really scary". Hehe...I'm still loving this show.

love this season so far. Tonights episode was very good. Everything is top notch again. the production values, locations, action scenes, editing, directoring, writing. I was worried about this season but i am no finally looking forward to this show every week.
Rachel is pretty hot. Whats up with the streaks in sydneys hair?

I'll echo the sentiments already expressed above in stating I'm surprisingly enjoying many aspects of this season.

Rachel as Mandy reminded me of Traci Lords for some reason. Rachel was still pretty bad in her womano-a-womano against Kelly, but that's good, she's got a lot of room for improvement considering she's been a desk jockey during her stint with Dean. Too bad Sydney (in her current condition) can't quite train Rachel in martial arts and other self-defense/self-offense moves.
You can tell Sloane hates being Dean's bitch.
How long did they need Mia Maestro to film her scenes? 20 minutes? Nice work, if you can get it, I guess.
Overall, still entertaining, plus Marshall got in a "5x5" reference (Buffy fans will eat it up).

Terrible episode. Fred and the new girl's fight was downright pathetic, especially their exchanged words. I'm also not a fan of how they've tried to replace the main characters X-Files style. Terrible, just terrible. I've given up, seeya Alias. Seasons 1 and 2 were good. But the rest of it has been downright, cliched crap.

WOW! I had my doubts about ALIAS after a rough start to this season, but it just keeps getting better (GO WRITERS!!). OR maybe its just the cameras pulling back more on Mrs. Affleck's collagen-injected lips.
Being preggers and all, I hope Sydney makes a comfortable transition into the role of handler. Love the parallels between this season and the first season. Like Ana Espinosa, Amy Acker's character is making a great formidable first foe for APO's new recruit.
Yeah, the exchange between her and Rachel on the helideck/heliport wasn't exactly first rate, but it was hella funny!
now what the writers need to do is bring back those CLIFFHANGERS!

The cia must have someone better trained than Rachel for that mission. As a character rachel is fine but as a replacement for sydney she is terrible. She has never undergone any agaent training. amy Acker was very cool. the end fight was weak but what's new, terrible fight against baddy so innocient lead character can live. bring back nadia, she at least made sense as sydney's replacement this girl is nice to look at, decent actress, but terrible playing action hero and it makes no sense for her character.

Don't forget that they are in secret branch of CIA. So I don't know if they can bring in other girls who may be better trained but are not part of APO.
I agree with everyone here that Rachel is very nice to look at. They picked the right actor for the part!

I was wondering why Sydney kept comparing Rachel's situation to how when Vaughn was her handler and talked her through missions. Wasn't Syd already an experienced agent for SD-6 by the time she started double-agenting with the CIA? It seemed like a completely different situation. Syd may have been nervous about her double-agent status, but it's not like she had never been on a dangerous mission before.

It's kind of interesting that Sloane is now in the same situation that Syd was in when she was covertly working for the CIA and SD-6 at the same time. I was wondering if he would start sabotaging the things he must do for Gordon Dean.

Did anything else happen during/after the sequence towards the end when Syd was listening to the tape of Vaughn and her on a mission? Or was that it?
I am still enjoying the new additions to the cast, but I wish Sloane would sack up and put a bullet in Dean's head already.
