"Wanna make that honeymoon video now?"
Jan. 27th, 2005 07:44 pmSecond viewing of 'Welcome to Liberty Village!'
Thoughts:
_ Who else loved that SyVa chose not to be spontaneous? Just the phrasing was divine.
_ Whoever did her hair this episode should be knighted. I looooved it.
_ Neiss. Bowling. Damn straight.
_ Can I just mention that I just wanted, to, like, marry Mrs. Neighbor Lady? The evil one who told Tom to kill Syd? She was so pretty and perky and evil!
_ Syd and Vaughn whining about being called cold and boring. And Syd's face when she said that people thought they were cold. She was so disgusted. And she was like, what should we do, drop and go at it on the floor? And I died laughing. Oh, Sydney. Screaming SyVa fans would've made you a SAINT, woman.
_ There was a total Arcadia moment when Syd was running. The streetlamp didn't go out (damn) but I totally expected the Dirt Monster to pop up.
_ Vaughn putting together a gun is HOT. Mom was yelling at him for being fifteen seconds over, and I yelled, "He's left-handed!" so for the rest of the episode she was like, Oh, he can't do that- he's left-handed. It amused me, at least.
_ I had Vaughn and Tom's shirt! Tata got it for me for my birthday! WE CAN BE TRIPLETS.
_ The rotating platform. I ADORED IT. I was like, do they even have those? I want to ride one.
_ Santa. Barbara.
I don't think I can actually coherently put my feelings into words. I mean, you had the SyVa theme music plucking mournfully at our heartstrings as Syd just... gazed at him.
_ Later, in the saleman's office, with the elevator Muzak in the background, and Syd and Vaughn just sitting there. It was the most perfect moment of, like, all time. It was just so... right for that time. Syd's still like, absorbing it all, and Vaughn's kinda wondering if he said it all and where the hell it all came from... it was just so well done.
_ Sydney kills people. But yes. She mows them down with cars. I LOVE when they do that on this show.
_ That was one jive ass convertible. Ugly, too.
_ Can we talk about J/I for a moment? Thanks. Because it ROCKED MY WORLD. The Alexei dude talking about how highly she regarded Jack? And how her work suffered because of him? And Daddy not even blinking when he asked where Irina was? SHE IS SO NOT DEAD.
_ "All my love forever and a day." Need I say more?
_ Shower Sex. Dude. DUDE. And then they were all curled up like little baby cats. And then Vaughn protected his woman! ROCK ON, Vaughn!
_ Tom cracked me up. And Syd looked so super cute in that purple sweater at the end. Oh, Syd. I love you so when you're adorable. No more this sniffly sobby Sydney.
_ 'Splosions! (As we all know, Madi is all about the violence.)
_ Did anyone else think, "Good morning, Charlie!" when it turned out Sloane was talking to them on a screen? That and the lady from Carmen Sandiego. I was all, Thank you, Charlie!
_ Daddy and Sloane are in cahoots about somethin' to do with Yelena and Sentinel and THE COMPLETELY NOT DEAD IRINA. It's glorious, truly glorious. Season one has come back!
(Can we have more Dixon, please?)
_ Them taking off their rings. And chatting about being boring and cold and then taking off their rings and Syd placing hers on top of his... and then, oh my god, they're going on a date in Paris. This will be like The Date That Sex Forgot without the whole Assassins and "Sex Forgot" part! Praise be!
Next Week In two weeks:
(Screw you, Bush, for making it two weeks away.)
Sydney's a vampire who drinks blood and tries to kill Vaughn. Mmhmm. She also has Dana cancer. Whatever. Sydney is adorable in the AOL thing. Seriously, she is the cutest little girl on God's green earth.

I had accepted that J.J. was going to maim and torture and generally bring agony upon us poor SpyRents shippers because of his wild amount of bitterness toward Lena, and all. I figured it was just a lost cause. BUT IT'S NOT! Not, I say! Au contraire -- forever and a day. Yeah. Uh huh. Take that.
The SyVa was truly exquisite this episode. I was actually shipping them wholeheartedly, which I have missed. I love that they're the boring couple. Mwehehe. And that last scene? So sweet.
Drew Goddard and his mad writing skillz have lit up my life. I love that man. He deserves to be built a shrine. A shrine!!
Poor left-handed people. I mean, I can't even work the right handed scissors. And probably couldn't asemble a gun in . . . okay, five hours. So props to Vaughn on that one. :D

Date: 2005-01-27 06:09 pm (UTC)I love Syd with bangs. Makes me think I have a glimmer of resembling Syd. (*sigh*)
The J/I was totally beyond my wildest dreams. And Irina is so totally ALIVE.
Isn't SyVa fun to ship? And they're totally an old married couple. Admit it: they take turns fixing one another's toothbrushes.
I am down with the Goddard shrine.
*melts* Vaughn is the sexiest lefty ever to grace the planet.

Date: 2005-01-27 05:45 pm (UTC)Yes, yes, yes. Because I can't have been the only one yelling at the screen saying "YES! YES YOU SHOULD!"
Santa. Barbara.
GUH.
(Can we have more Dixon, please?)
Yes, this. Not enough Dixon. Please some Sydney-and-Dixon? The "Almost Thirty Years" speech played about twenty times on the Alias radio station this afternoon and still ripped me in two every time. More scenes like that, Alias writers.
Sydney's a vampire who drinks blood and tries to kill Vaughn. Mmhmm. She also has Dana cancer. Whatever. Sydney is adorable in the AOL thing. Seriously, she is the cutest little girl on God's green earth.
From the synopsis, it almost sounds more like "Wetwired." Either way, yup, Sydney is just that cute. (haven't watched the AOL thing, in my mind it's a spoiler somehow and I'm staying away)

Date: 2005-01-27 06:12 pm (UTC)I don't think any SyVa fan will ever be able to really discuss the whole Santa Barbara thing, simply because there are no words.
I LONG for Syd/Dixon interaction. I miss it! Bring it back, writers! You've been so good to us, keep it up!
I am positively spoiler allergic, and I managed to stay away from the AOL promos for weeks... but I needed to see the Arcadia clip last week, and after that crazy promo last night, and what with a two week wait... I gave in. I am WEAK. I lasted NINE MONTHS between seasons without spoilers and now I can't wait two weeks. Le sigh.
