Just two questions -
While Marshall was going on and on about the baby pictures, Weiss mouthed something to him over Nadia’s shoulder. I couldn’t work it out…what did he say?
Also, due to “creative” scheduling, I picked up the last minutes of Lost, and was cut off for the last minutes of Alias. How did it end?
I believe he said something like “you’re married”, implying that Marshall should lay off a little.
I sorta liked the episode, although it bugs me that Weiss and Nadia couldn’t even be kept out of the super-spy loop for two weeks before being part of the old team again. How is the current setup any different from what we had last season? I mean, Marshall’s wife apperantly vanished, but that’s about it.
Next week on Alias: that one X-Files episode except with assassins instead of a garbage monster.
I thought the idea was dumb but it was very well executed. You could see the tragic climax coming a mile off, but it was still good television.

Dear JJ Abrams,
I understand the network made you rework the opening titles to be Syd’s greatest (least dressed) hits this season, and I have no qualms with all the changes…
…as long as you continue to make up for it by also giving Vaughn a chance to dress up. A lot. Sexy priest was good - more like that please. With many accents.
And please made sure Jack has plenty of opportunities glower and be deadpan.
And more hot villains. If they’re hot enough, we might not even notice that you cast an Irish villain and then made his sister Scottish.
And please fire whoever has been picking out the music this season. “You All Everybody” was funny last week and all, but remember when this show promoted good music that the viewer hadn’t heard a gazillion times? And it was actually suited to the action? That was sure nifty.
Thanks and see you next week,
Jenny Haniver
PS: amarinth The episode wrapped up as follows: [SPOILER]After her date with Vaughn-the-inappropriately-hot-priest, Scottish IRA Nurse took Vaughn to the super-secret hospital wing, where they were ambushed by Hot Irish Villian, who decided that one in the back of the head was too good for priests who flirt with his sister, and wanted to inject Ice-5 into Vaughn’s eye (EWW!) - or rather, to make Scottish IRA Nurse inject it. Because he’s eeeeeeevil.
Syd showed up just in time to have an all-medical-supplies style rumble with Hot Irish Villain, which was all fun and bone saws until Hot Irish Villain wound up accidentally stabbing Scottish IRA Nurse in the chest with the Ice-5.
As she…hardened (eww, eww, eww), Scottish IRA Nurse forgave Vaughn for killing Lauren. Because she’s not evil. And it gave them a chance to use a killer special effect of her eye freezing.
On the plane home, Syd (no doubt wanting to roleplay with the flirty priest disguise) asked Vaughn if he wanted to stay over when they got home, but he was already soundly asleep, having finally gotten over the whole killing-his-wife-thing.
Because being forgiven by a rapidly-hardening-Scottish-Republican-Army-Nurse with unfortunate family connections and a fondness for inappropriately-hot-priests? Practically like Jesus gave you a pass his own self. [/SPOILER]
