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?!?
