Alias 3/14 SPOILERS

Cool change of pace after last week’s Run Lauren Run soap opera, aka the Ford F-150 Hour. “If you love her drop the gun” indeed. I was sort of hoping Ricky Gervaise would be funnier but I guess there’s only so much humor one can wring out of an internation terrorist bombing. As soon as Sydney started flapping her yap about Julia Thorn I started yelling to shut up at the TV. The clueless people I was watching it with couldn’t figure out why it was a mistake…

Enjoyed the fight between Sark and Vaughn but next time there should be stripping down and oiling up involved. Now that Sark’s temporarily out of action, will Bug step up even more prominently in the Covenant? How much longer do you suppose the triangle will be milked before Bug stands revealed?

Actually I don’t much care, really, as long as we continue to get scenes like Jack’s “interrogation” of Ricky. It’s been said before but I will say it again, Jack is a Bad Ass. I want a whole series about Jack.

Nobody wants to talk Alias this week?

I love Daddy Spy. Although I am not a violence-craving person, you have to give props to a guy who chokes someone to death, brings him back to life and then threatens to do it again.

I was so hoping that the blonde in bed with Arvin Sloan was Vaughn’s wife. That would have been interesting!

Yeah, next time Sark and Vaughn pitch a battle, they must be naked from the waist up (at least :cool: ) and oiled up pretty good.

Good episode. Looking forward to next week.

Next week’s looks like a “self-contained” episode – less of a “lotsa stuff the only purpose of which is to advance some convuluted ‘lauren-might-be-the-mother-of-marshall’s-baby’ plot”.

Should be lotsa action, though.

I liked it and I thought Gervais did a great job at a very different character for him. I also liked the fact that Vaughan was portrayed as not totally helpless for a change. But why o why did Syd mention her alter-ego’s name? That was just stupid.

Sorry, I was temporarily unavailable this weekend. Anyway:

I second the call for a Jack Bristow show. Maybe a future spinoff? “Alias: The Jack Bristow Files.”

My guess is that they’ll save Bug’s reveal for the season finale. Makes more sense to drop that then.

Sark will be out of custody within two weeks. They won’t keep him locked up for long.

Now, if only we could get Irina back for an episode or two…

I’d settle for her sister. Or her other sister. They’re like the Gabors of international espionage.
