TEN minutes until Alias starts and it's kind of ridiculous how excited I am. I mean, I could barely eat.

I really want this episode to be good. So badly. Please, JJ. I'm loyal. I'm faithful. Please reward me.

Seriously, though. I'm pumped.

Okay. 5 minutes. Now I'm getting kind of nauseous. And everyone (Ma, Mel) are saying I'm not excited enough. I'm just keeping it inside.

AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!


Onwards!


Oh, man. Dixon has cornrows. Oh, dude. Those were unfortunate.

So, Syd runs around, and she winds up in a room to call her Daddy. And Peyton and her henchmen are... promenading down the stairs? Because when Irina's away, the mice will play? Whatever.

Syd contacts her Daddy, and Marshall gets the transmission, but damn Peyton messes things up, so Daddy decides on extreme measures. Measures along the lines of treason and the like, as it involves breaking into... CIA places. Which is, you know. All kinds of illegal.

Daddy looks good, but Dixon's hair should die. Even Marshall looks snappy. And Rachel! Oh, pretty Rachel. She's wishing she could say no, kinda, because she's a bit scared, I bet. But she's a good sort, so she stayed.

Oh, man. This is going to be exciting. Syd's hiding behind a lattice. And having contractions. Dear heavenly father. Be prepared, it's gonna be a long hour.


Commies


Okay, for one: Weiss. I actually screamed with excitement. Take that as you will.

Syd started off by snagging Peyton, who is just so disrespectful to the boss's daughter. Minion. Syd's kinda worried now, as Peyton said she was never leaving. Oh, Syd.

So, they break into the CIA building, and it's a family affair, and Marshall has on JJ glasses and Dix has a hysterical porn mustache. Hee.

Um, Balthazar starts doing what looks like untowards things, but it turns out he's just trying to find his wife's killer. Which is certainly something everyone there will be able to appreciate.

Dixon spritzes mist. Mm, anthrax fresh.

Then Rachel's trying to find a record of Syd's transmission, but not so much. She disconnects it from the security thing on Jack's command, and lights start flashing and things lock down, and Balthazar and Rachel, they are trapped.

So Jack calls Weiss.

And you know what? I LOVE IT.

Because he'll help. Even if it means missing pilates.


COMMERCIALS


Peyton is in soooo much trouble. Sooo much trouble. 'S all I got to say.

Weiss helped get the gang out because he's great. Well. He did leave Nadia. AND he flirted with Rachel. After, of course, Marshall slammed her into a door by accident. Balthazar got caught by Dixon looking at witness protection records, whatev. I liked Weiss, though. "Next time, JUST CALL."

Syd let her grip on her gun loosen when she saw a file with her name on it in this CREEPY DELIVERY ROOM with these large posters of the fetus. I mean, seriously creepy shit. And then she passed out. Which is just so bad. But nothing we didn't know. But if something happens to Syd, Peyton's gonna be in BIG trouble.

For reals.



Commies. I feel bad for Syd.


Something's wrong with the fetus! Sparkles are all over it! Oh, little baby, I am worried!

(No. Really. Concerned.)

Turns out that once Marshall decripts the thingie, he can narrow the suspects as to who scrambled the message. Alpha Black clearance. Like, EVERYTHING clearance. So, Daddy calls a meeting, like Sloane did back in season three. And Devlin attends! And this ginger-colored man who looked very familiar, and, it turns out, was the Prophet Five mole. Daddy made him an offer he couldn't refuse and was all, oh, Syd's in the north atlantic. LIKE. THAT'S NOT. FREAKING VAGUE.

Let me just say that I'm holding out hope that Vaughn will come in like Kelso in my vision. I will not rest until I see otherwise. "Sydney!"

Poor Sydney.

And now they arrested Daddy, which is double plus ungood.

Also? Dixon. Your hair. It hurts me.


Commercials.


Oh, man. I'm just... I'm so upset now. Because of what they're doing to poor Syd. It's totally empathy tears that are filling my eyes, because Syd is so helpless and they're doing nothing good. I mean, I know the baby's okay, but they drew blood with the amniotic fluid and that's just so bad. And the fucking doctor. It's just so wrong and horrible.

At least Dixon is on his way, with Balthazar, bad hair and all.

Man. I'm really upset.


Commercials.


SUper long, of course.

So, the baby's okay, it was a placenta abruption, which, by the way, can only be saved if you actually deliver the baby. My cousin had it. So, whatever.

They arrest Daddy, but they released him.

Tom speaks german and his name is Peter. He might be a bad guy. I don't really care.

MOMMY. SHOWED UP. TWICE. Once, in snazzy heels, to kill Davenport, the ginger-colored man. A second time, in Syd's nonapt. Daddy wants to put her in a safe house.

Tom wants to send a message to Cardinal through a guy who killed his wife, Amanda Grace. That's just, not good. But oh well.

Syd's new doctor looks awful familiar. She also waddles. No, not waddles. Teeters.

Mommy! Is there! And called Jack her husband.

Sloane got yelled at by that Irish dude who can save Nadia. I'm just waiting for her.

Bet Vaughn's at Leo 47 Norte. I just bet.

I hope that Balthazar doesn't pin his bad dealings on someone else, like Rachel Gibs. or Marshall.

Ay, Dixon's hair.

Aieeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Best twenty minutes ever!


Commercials


So, I'm thinking maybe I should not trust Irina?

It's the camera work and the emphasis on her and, oh yeah. When Peyton was all, Derevko called about the Horizon being in Vancouver.

That Bertrand guy spoke atrocious french. Dixon's was passable, but that guy? Oh man. Man. Renée's was a delight, as I always. I love Renée.

Daddy saw Irina and got this little smile, then said she looked well, then smiled again. And then he asked her to come with them! Which might be foolhardy, but who cares? It's the SpyFam! As baby spy is going too.

Where is Sydlet? And Mia? And Vaughn? And why does no one TALK TO IRINA about the STATUS of her BABY? Jesus Christ.

Aieee!


Commercials


Okay, I don't care if Irina's bad. That mission was completely worth it. The loving parents and their little girl and oh, so loving! So many kisses! And they all looked fabulous, except for Syd, in that ugly sweater.

Balthazar is a damn dirty liar. Damn, damn dirty liar. Playing on Rachel's feminine sensibilities.

And, um, Irina's kinda bad. Looks like Daddy would've killed her.And Syd was so heartbroken. "And when you couldn't torture it out of me, you came to me as my mother." And Daddy was like, DIE IRINA. "Dad. Dad?" And Daddy's all, too bad for Peyton, I'm DEFINITELY KILLING YOU FOR REAL. "Dad." NO. SERIOUSLY, WHORE. YOU HURT MY BABY. "Dad. Baby's coming."

Oh, the baby! YAAAAAAAY.

It's not too late. Vaughn can show up with his shirt unbuttoned and the wind and all. Oh, man.


Commercials! They don't know nothin' 'bout birthin' babies!


Me: Look at Peyton, trying to rock the Elektra hair.
Mom: She thinks she's Heart.
Me: You mean Love?
Mom: Yeah. Did I say Heart?


So, Irina's not so nice and doesn't want to let her daughter go, but then she does, when she realizes that Peyton ain't playing, that tramp. So they start up the stairs to catch Irina's ride, which is a helicopter. "The beacon's in my bra," she smiles, and it's like, my love, are you flirting with him? He's soooo mad!

And Irina looks fantastic.

Nadia? Vaughn? I'm waiting.

And Sloane. Hee. Being all vaguely inappropriate with Rachel, and erasing all the files. Including ones that can get him.


Commercials.


Irina tried to make me believe that she really hated Syd. She tried to make Syd believe it too. That she never wanted a daughter. Such vicious, vicious lies about mistakes. But I didn't believe them. I know Irina loves her. And now she's gonna deliver the baby. See? Love.

Ten more minutes. Promo Gods, I hate you.

Um, and Rachel did good for Sloane on deleting shit. Yay.

If they make Vaughn bad, so help me. I mean, so help me god. I will have issues.

Please be good, JJ. Please.


Commercials


Um, so, Irina delivered the baby girl, so, yay Isabelle, Daddy fought Peyton and didn't kill her but slowed her down, and then? And then? Vaughn. Last image. In BHUTAN, with the Rambo monks, but you know what? 'S all good in the hood, my friends. He knows he has a daughter and Irina disappeared into thin air, but it's all cool!

BADASS episode. Badass. I guess I hallucinated when I read that Nadia was coming back. But that's okay! There's hope for the future!

YAY!

ETA: Ollie has made me aware of the fact that um, Sydney's look to Daddy? And Daddy saying "I'll take care of it"? It wasn't about the baby's college fund. Oh, no. No, it was to ALERT VAUGHN to the ARRIVAL of his DAUGHTER. And possibly bring him home. I? Am just dense. Woe is me.

So they were cornrows? Ha! I wasn't completely sure if it was a trick of the eye or if they were really there.

WEISS! LOVE ME SOME WEISS. Even without his pilates! The flirty with Rach was so minor, I kinda doubt it really happened. I think it was just the actors being careless. Well, I hope anyways. 'Coz be sorta ships the Neiss. And I don't think he really left her. I mean, I'm sure once she wakie wakies, he'll come back.

I really loved the scenes where they were breaking into the CIA. It was all aww. I mean, these are our Alias dudes doing what they do best. And I don't know. Kinda nostalgia'y.

but it turns out he's just trying to find his wife's killer. Which is certainly something everyone there will be able to appreciate.

HAHAHAHA!!! Oh lordy. I didn't even think about that. But you're so right. I mean, hello. Who on this show hasn't had a spouse get killed? (well, besides Syd apparently, and Jack doesn't count 'coz Irina kinda died a few times. Kinda.)

Some of those Invasion commercials were really ridiculously long. Gr.

So, the baby's okay, it was a placenta abruption, which, by the way, can only be saved if you actually deliver the baby. My cousin had it. So, whatever.

But this takes place 2 years in the future. Maybe they've made advances since then.

Renée is like the coolest shit.

The mission was SPYFAM was soooo cute!! I definitely went Passage nostalgic there.

I LOVED Peyton's Elektra hair. It was so hot. Not as hot as SpyMommy's though.

Nadia is coming back. Just not yet. And yay for the Vaughn'age. He looked very, very nice. Ooooh. Good looking man there.

Whoa. Long entry. Long comment, Commet.

[sunshine-queen.livejournal.com]

Definitely cornrows. They hurt my soul.

I usually don't love Weiss. Occasionally I do, though. And I'm definitely not a Neiss fan, but still. I am the biggest Nadia fan of life, so, definitely no cheating on her comatose ass.

Dude, I know! It was so vintage!

LOL, so the Bristow count just balances out for Syd too, that's cute.

OMG, I hate those commercials, they're so lame.

LOL, sometimes it's two years in the future. Sometimes not. It depends.

Renée is a badass. Love her.

My life was made with those aliases. They were fabulous.

See, I am a firm believer that the only one that should be allowed to rock the Elektra hair is Syd. But SpyMommy's hair was amazing, my god.

I can't WAIT for Nadia, oh man. And Vaughn was SO hot for the entire two seconds I saw of him.

My episode write-ups are always long, Ollie. Check my memories, man.

[superswank.livejournal.com]

I think "badass" just about describes these eps perfectly. I am in total and complete awe of the badassness.

[sunshine-queen.livejournal.com]

I know. I mean, these were like... old school Alias quality.

[xenaamber.livejournal.com]

They were awesome... except that the birth was way too easy. And do SpyBabies not have umbilical cords?

The surgery was HORRIBLE.

[sunshine-queen.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I didn't get that either. I chose to just run with it. The L in Alias stands for lies, not logic.

And omggggg I know. Creepy as all hell.

[dollsome.livejournal.com]

I sort of love Irina Derevko . . . more than anything.

These episodes were crazy-fantastic. My mind is blown. Yep. Blown!

Aaaaaaah SpyMommy. I need to make so many icons.

[sunshine-queen.livejournal.com]

They tried to make me hate her! Now I'm just kinda wary. But I still love her.

And I know, they were so amazing. That boom you hear? That's my mind blowing.

OMG, Nita, you need to make an icon IMMEDIATELY of the SpyRents sitting and waiting at the bank. AHORA MISMO.

[ravenclaw-devi.livejournal.com]

*loves your account of the birth of SpyBaby* Just sayin'. :)

[sunshine-queen.livejournal.com]

LOL, my whole five words dedicated to it?
