You gotta have faith.

Am much more calm now. Mind you, I didn't stop crying for about an hour, but whatever.

I got packed! Yay.

It's weird- I've never seen the world so silent after an Alias episode. Dusty replied to me, Carr posted pretty fast, and then yahtzee63 did her thing- and let me tell you, her theory? Gives me such hope. Because stranger things have happened. And either I completely blot this season from my memory or they end with Syd and Vaughn and Baby Isabelle all living in a house with a white picket fence. Goddammit. They cannot ruin my favorite show for me. After all, what seems like a betrayal can be loyalty sometimes, can't it? And I need to watch until the show ends out of respect for the characters. Not to mention the fact that I swore once that the only thing that would stop my watching Alias would be Daddy's death, which, thank god, they didn't try. Or I'd still be crying.

So... now that my fear of all unknown people in uniforms have been reinforced TO THE NTH DEGREE... let's talk about Renée Rienne. She's got some big eyes. But Syd's got a bad wig on. And the blonde chick? Dude, was it not completely obvious that they wanted us to gasp, "Sacre bleu! She's got the same hair as Lauren! We should all be suspicious. Or perhaps- maybe it IS Lauren!" except for the part where we all knew it wasn't, so we weren't, and we all just wanted to see her face.

I hate her. But I hated everyone that wasn't one of ours in this episode. I'll even love Weiss. Hear that, writers? I'LL EVEN LOVE WEISS!

I still love Sloane, and Daddy and... begrudgingly love the non-widow Syd. Dude, reason 1000002418639 why Vaughn isn't really dead: they can't keep Sydney single forever. She needs to stop burying fiancés and GET HITCHED already. And ain't no one gonna want her.

Amid rumours that Michael Vartan (Vaughn) is leaving the show because of Jennifer Garner (they used to date before Bennifer II happened), Alias creator JJ Abrams has been tight-lipped about Vaughn’s storyline.

"Alias is, perhaps typically, a puzzle this year," Abrams told E!Online. "The Vaughn storyline is not what it seems, but that's all I can say, or the writers will kill me. They know where I live."

From an article published a couple hours ago online. I feel like that's hopeful -- I mean, what Vaughn's storyline seems like right now is dead. And we're all good ol' veterans of Alias, we know anything can happen on the show.

Smile, I'm sure things will turn out all right. No matter what the rumors are of off-screen tension, which I don't fully buy, I think MV and JG are both professional enough to not let their personal problems get in the way of their jobs. If JJ "killed" Vaughn, I think he'd have a good reason. Especially because the phone call Jack made moments before Vaughn's death is highly suspicious, as is Syd's reaction to his "death." And back on track just four months after your baby's father was killed?

Considering, this is the second time she's lost a fiancé and is pregnant, you'd think she'd act a little differently . . . maybe more depressed?

Oh, I so hope so. SO MUCH.

Remember how Syd was feeding Vaughn liquid right before he flatlined? Hm...

Even if he does come back to life, how in the world did he sustain all these bullet wounds? Was he wearing secretly a bullet-proof vest the whole time?

Last night was depressing, but the episode was shot well. With the train coming by and Syd struggling to see what was going on, and the scene with them in the car ... it was sweet. Let's hope it just turns out well.

Dude! In the car I totally said that! I was like, the boy should be spurting that out of the massive holes in his chest, what is she doing giving him juice? And then it dawned on me- Daddy's magic elixir.

I have faith.

[yubsie]

Those writers are vicious! :p

[sunshine-queen.livejournal.com]

They so are.

[dollsome.livejournal.com]

Poor SyVa. I bet things will turn out okay. I read Yahtzee's theory, and that didn't dawn on me, but that might be the reason for the insane LACK OF SYD AND DADDY HUGS. Which really bothered me for some reason. But, yeah. If they know what's goin' on, then hugging really isn't necessary.

I don't like the new girl. And oh my God, she does have Lauren hair! I didn't even think of that, luckily. They can only tease me with Lauren hair so many times before I snap. I miss Lauren. Always.

[sunshine-queen.livejournal.com]

Dude, I noticed that too, but I thought (at first) it was because... well, I wasn't really thinking at that point. I was trying to convince myself to breathe in and out.

And she so did! I was like, hey, TNT just showed me the Ice 5 episode where they showed the Lauren-hair that wasn't, so don't you try me again, foolish people. You won't get my hopes up again about Laurie, no sirree bob!

[bel-baggins.livejournal.com]

I rather like Yahtzee's theory. (In that it seems the only way he could be alive). I noticed the lack of hugs between daughter/daddy too. But maybe only Jack knows he's alive? Hmm.

I'm just glad that none of those, like, *fifty* bullets got him in the head.

[sunshine-queen.livejournal.com]

Well, Daddy definitely has saved Vaughn. I think Syd's in on it because the juice.

And I know, right? If you want someone dead, THE BRAIN IS THE WAY TO GO. And no one ever does it. But whatev.

[yubsie]

Aliaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas! :p

[sunshine-queen.livejournal.com]

Very much so, Yubs.

[yubsie]

It's the show that ate my Flist! :p

I am glad that my theory-making has helped you! But just to reiterate: Other writers for the show have made comments very similar to those JJ made, and given the big ol' loophole right there in the hospital room -- to me it seems clear that Vaughn's not dead and MV will return. Now, I don't know for how long, but I have heard from reliable sources that it will be more than one episode.

I am not big on Rachel yet but willing to give her a shot; I liked what we saw of Renee, but it's too little to judge. As I suspect that Sydney will be lying to Renee about Vaughn's death, the scenes between the two of them might end up being very good indeed.

SpyDaddy heard about SpyBaby, accepted Vaughn that instant as part of the family forever, and took immediate action to make sure everything would come out all right for his little girl. I do not doubt his effectiveness.

As for MV, he's already announced a guest spot on "Kitchen Confidential." So he's showing TV execs that he can do comedy. My guess is he'll appear on at least one other show (a crime procedural, maybe, and/or something lighter like "Las Vegas") before returning to "Alias" -- thus setting it up for him to nab a plum pilot for the 2006-2007 season and giving him his own show at last. More power to him, says I.

Yahtzee, let me say this: You are much, much better at plots and intelligent design in Alias than I am, and once I read your theory, I was finally able to break my lease on my apartment on the banks of De Nile and move into I Can't Hear You land because VAUGHN IS NOT DEAD I KNOW IT.

And it absolutely have everything to do with SpyDaddy. Because he's God. Hell, he probably had Marshall do the fun explode-y bullet holes with blood in his chest, and then he mixed up his magic Juliet elixir to put in Vaughn's juice... oh, the boy's alive. SpyDaddy is a thorough man. And Michael Vaughn might be a boy who is not good enough for his daughter, but he's the boy his little girl wants, and dammit if Daddy won't fix things for his baby. And hers.

And Vartan should definitely be spread around. He's beautiful. He could read the phone book and I'd tune in faithfully.
