Why Fauxrina? Why?

[sunshine_queen]

So, last night's Alias off the top of my head.

(Mind you, this is the first time I've done this without notes in about three million years, so bear with me, and since I have no notes, I'm gonna do it Hannah's way)

Syd: She's so cute. She didn't kiss Vaughn on the cheek when she saw him in the morning, which kinda ticked me off, but other than that, wow, she just looked hot. With the glasses? hot. In the really low-buttoned shirt in the teaser portion? Jesus. I swear, I'm straight, but all the women on Alias (at least them Derevkos) make me consider batting for the other team. Crazy accent, but passable, and the glasses, just sigh. She's so darling.

Not!Lauren: So cruel! I thought for a brief, shining, fleeting moment that MY LAUREN HAD COME BACK TO ME! Her hair! It was so pretty! And then she turned, and it was a man in wig. I was so depressed.

The PreCredit Victim: Honestly made me feel like I was watching XF. Because it was so bizarre. I knew him swallowing the goods wasn't a good idea, but SNAPPING OFF? And then shattering? Whatever, man.

Vaughn: Like, magma-hot this entire episode. The priest thing, whatever, the whole mission, really, whatever, but Michael Vartan is the HOTTEST MAN ON THE PLANET. Seriously. I spent the entire episode ignoring the plot in favor of watching his lips move. Or staring into his eyes. Or cursing his FREAKING BEARD. And, sure, he's crazy. And confessing to that chick in the grand tradition of Sydney was such a plot twist it hurt. But whatever. The guilt about Lauren, whatever. Comparing himself to SpyDaddy, whatever.

The plot: Say it with me, and make the hand-sign: Whatever. Seriously, I was wondering if it was an X-File writer they got or a Angel writer. Because it was sooo.... XF of them.

SpyDaddy: When he was talking to Gira about Irina... oh, come on, guys, didn't you believe him? I did. He got that fond tone and he actually kinda smiled and you SO knew Gira wanted to hug him for being the bestest Papa Jack in the world. And hee, being cryptic. I really don't remember him much otherwise.

Sloane: I totally thought he was going to keep Gira's notebook. Like, oh, sorry, it's mine now. And saying his affair with Irina was "brief?" I died. Oh, my god. Yeah, if you consider, a ONE NIGHT'S STAND WHILE DRUGGED AND BLIND-FOLDED brief, then yeah. Brief.

Dixon: I love Dixon. Telling Vaughn to respect his elders, and then punching Vaughn? I think it's just because I never get enough violence. So any violence makes me happy. And hitting Vaughn was fun. Although Dixon "hit[ting] like a girl" seemed a bit extreme. Since Dixon is from the 'hood and all. And the old-style brush-pass? Gom. GOM. *sniffle* It was another brief shining moment, only this time of Season One-ness!

Marshall: Pictures of Mitchell! Can you stand it?

Weiss: Telling Marshall that he was married? Oh. my. God. And telling him to back off his girl. It was GREAT. I love you, Eric. Have you met balls of steel?

Gira: I <3 Gira so much. She is just so adorable in this mommy quest, and then living with Syd- oh my god, it's just the bestest thing EVER. I love love love it.

Fauxrina: Okay. Lena Olin SO TOTALLY ACTED IN HER TWENTIES. It's called photoshop, people. Get permission, and PHOTOSHOP. Don't get some woman that isn't nearly pretty as Lena and expect us to run with it. And if you must, at least use the same woman from the pictures from Season One.

And, again, the plot sucked. But really? Whatever. I'm not in it for the plot, I'm in it for the SyVa, SpyDaddy and the prettiness. So it didn't really bother me much. Not up to par, but... the PREVIEWS FOR NEXT WEEK MADE UP FOR IT!

ETA: Okay, I have officially disowned ALL MY FRIENDS. Fauxrina is MIA MAESTRO? What the hell is the matter with you all and why didn't anyone tell me? WHYYYYYY?!?

I'm sorry for not telling you about Fauxrina! *pouts*

And it actually WAS an Angel writer. ;) Andhe worked on X-Files too.

So actually, yes, there was a reason it was crazy-ass.

Well, that explains it.

Yeah, Jeff Bell did both Angel and XF, hence the totally rip offage in this ep. :P

And Fauxrina is MIA MAESTRO?

How could you not tell?! I knew from last week's PREVIEW, and I was so dead. :P The best part were all the pictures with "other people..." one of them was Garner. :P

Because NO ONE TOLD ME.

And I saw the Jen.

So I didn't see it before you. But I did see it.

You know, I really do like having some idea of what you're talking about with the weekly Alias-fest... that's the only reason I watch it. :D

She was Mia?

That is . . . really, really ridiculous. Wow. However, it does explain Irina's sudden mysterious resemblence to Nads.

Sometimes I'm all, "Okay, s4, I'm totally cool with you," and then others it's just so . . . gaaah!

Though now that I know that nifty bit of trivia, it makes this oddly amusing.

"Papa Jack, who is that?"

"Well... it's you, Gira. In black-and-white film, wearing an ugly blouse... and holding a baby."
