sunshine_queen | How can you mend a broken heart?

I HATE VAUGHN. REALLY. I mean, I still love him... but breaking Syd's heart like that? Effing BASTARD.

-I was not diggin' Syd's look in this ep. She looked, like, ten with the bangs, and Lauren looked like she was dolled up for a Christmas party.

-Mexico again? Dude. Get the FLIP out of MEXICO -It sounded like the dude from the 'Snowman' ordeal, but when I saw him, I realized it couldn't be, because the other guy wheeze more and was missing an eye. Sounded pretty similar, though.

-I was freaking out seeing those crystals- I was all, didn't we find one of those when Anna Espinosa was around? Dude! And that's where we found Mt. Sebacio, or something? And then I was like, oh, they need three, Gotcha.

-Omnifam. Oh Sloane. But honestly, if he wanted to do nefarious things, he would do them and NOT GET CAUGHT. He's cute, though, in his little bed, and Syd's a brat. He will so ground your ass when you find out he's your Pops.

-This is a direct quotes from my notes: FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU**! I KNEW IT WAS A WATCH! HOLY GOD! SHE GOT THE WATCH FIXED! OMG! BADFIC! HOLY SHIT! BADFIC! BADFIC! Lauren, you whore! Go, Vaughn! Mmm, separation in the first ten minutes. Sweet. You little guilt-tripping bitch.

-Lauren whines to Sark like whoa, man, but asking her to kill her daddy was uncool. I loved the way Lauren reacted, though.

-Papa Reed is named George. Lovely. Was Mama Reed called 'Livia'? I don't know. Nica says it was Olivia. A loving couple on Alias? Ho ho ho. Makes sense that there was betrayal later. Mama Reed is plastic.

-I love SpyDaddy. He knows something's rotten.

-Syd's costume was the UGLIEST COSTUME SHE HAS EVER WORN. The Carrot Top wig and that hideous dress that would make Lara Flynn Boyle look like a heifer... UGLIEST COSTUME EVER.

-The Alias people sprung for subtitles! Nice! Usually they NEVER, EVER have subtitles. You have to guess.

-Mmm, Sark. Mmm, Vaughn in a suit. Mmm, I love this show.

-Sark cracks me up 'Well, that was extravagant' Sark is great. Truly.

-Beautiful teamwork, man. Beautiful.

-Oh, who didn't see that a big talk was coming? It was hearkened by the eyesex. *sigh* I didn't want it to happen... but i knew it was coming...

-Dude, Syd's reaction to what he said first was perfect- but the rest of the scene was SO WOODEN. Like, I didn't get it. I was literally sitting there asking Jen and Vartan what was up. The whole divorce thing. Gah.

-STOP EFFING TATTLING TO SARK, LAUREN. How old are you, five? I love Sark.

-The map for nothing? Nah. It's probably not land, you geniuses. Sloane was SO funny when they showed him the Rambo stuff- he was all, Rambaldi? My love! Ah, more steps. Nothing is ever simple in Rambaldi-land.

-I LOVED Marshall's speech on how evilly genius sloane was

-Oh, look, evil Lauren. She failed Papa Reed. Papa Reed is taking away her allowance and no telephone for her! Oh, thanks for showing us the gun, JJ, like we didn't figure she had one as she went to go KILL HER DAD or anything. And Lauren's all, Oh, Daddy, you'd try to save me? Really? And then she's all, shut up. But she was shaking as she held the gun. I was very impressed by this part, actually. Lauren seemed sad to be doing it. And plus, we were offing Papa Reed. It was grand, truly.

-MAMA REED IS ELENA! SHE SO IS! SHE SHOT PAPA REED! SHE SPOKE WITH SARK! SHE SPOKE RUSSIAN ON THE PHONE! WE WERE RIGHT! (There are three Derevko sisters: Irina, Elena and Katya. Irina is Syd's mom, and she is a bad mamma jamma. Katya, played by Isabella Rossellini (Ingrid Bergman's kid), was the second Derevko sisters, and they were BOTH badasses to the nth degree. We- my friends and I- guessed that Mama Reed was Elena, the third, previously unknown Derevko sister. It looks like we were right.)

-They're saying he committed suicide? That's uncool. Being married means nothing on Alias.

-SpyDaddy does not buy this whole thing. 'Mum!' No, SpyDaddy knows something is up.

-Oh, look, Syd and Vaughn are swimming. Does it really matter what they're doing? They need something to make them damn crystals work. Does it matter? Probably not, they just wanted Jen garner in a wetsuit and Vaughn and Syd alone together so's they could angst post-mission about his separation.

- I honestly expected a big stone ball à la Indiana Jones to come and get Syd and Vaughn... instead, after Vaughn acted nobly, bad guys came, and spoke about SpyMommy. Oh, Syd. It sucks to be you. Irina's legacy-> the passenger? Oh, no. SpyMommy, what have you done?

-Fighting Syd with a KNIFE THING? Dude, JJ, did you watch Raiders?

-More points lost for Vartan and Jen, but in their defense, their dialogue sounded like badfic. 'I am sad for you. Sad for you and Lauren. I can smell heart in your eyes, though, Von.' Their acting is usually so much better. *sigh* But she is hopeful, and it scares her. And there's Syd and Vaughn music. who WROTE this episode? He's inviting her to coffee! Yay! Not that I thought it would work, because, duh, this is Alias and Papa Reed is dead and god forbid Sydney have a few minutes of happiness in her life.

-And now, Lauren's being absolved of all guilt, and she's garnered Dixon's sympathy, because she's saying she was duped into doing bad things just like dix was. gah.

-SpyDaddy still is not happy.

-Weiss so loves Lauren. You can tell. And then Vaughn walks over, and you know, everyone does, that there will be no coffee date. Poor, poor Syd. You could see all the hope drain from her face slowly, props to you, Jen. Maybe she was metering out her talent, because she looked so sad and betrayed and resigned. It was beautiful, really.

-Dude, let Sloane go. LET HIM GO! Let him read his ancient Grecian texts in Zurich! Stop framing him and STOP THREATENING TO KILL HIM! DUDE!

-Vaughn? Baby? Where are you? Not at Weiss's. Okay. Are you calling Syd? Please don't. Please- oh damn. Does this constitute bastard Vaughn? Oh yes it does. Because she looked so hopeful when she asked if he was at Weiss's... and then she found out he was home, it was like she realized, finally, that there WAS no hope for them, ever, and that she was doomed. And she did such a good job keeping her voice steady on the phone, and then she snarfled, and she was like, okay, hanging up now... and then she cried, all alone, in her ugly apartment. I truly hated him then.

-And then Lauren opened her eyes and just looked EVIL. Just plain EVIL. Like she was going to kill Vaughn in his sleep. How the HELL did she convey so much sheer evilness in that one action? I don't know And then there was the Alias screen of doom. Maybe Syd should end her life. Grrr.
