Holy Smokes, Batman!

ALIAS TIME !!! WOOT!


Holy FUCK – that does not even begin to describe this episode. Why oh why does the show have to get this interesting now that it’s ending. Curse you world, curse you!! Keep in mind I would rather the show go out on top, than zooming downhill fast.

First of all…HOLY CRAP! They’ve killed off Nadia. Okay so in the past I haven’t really cared much for her character but she’s worn on me – sort of. But she was killed by her own father. Bad Sloane!! I truly hope she isn’t Jack’s daughter then, because that’s just bad. But you know, maybe she’s not dead? Fine, falling through a glass table and getting glass into the neck normally kills someone but come on, this is Alias. How horrible for that character. You are killed by your own father just after you come out of your coma. Poor poor girl. (Although I’m willing to believe she is still alive – unless of course she was Project Helix’ed and the real Nadia is still alive somewhere else?)

Plus there was another death. They’ve killed off Renée as well. She’s not too important – never was. Still it was evil SydClone that killed her. All episode we kept heaving to hear about how Syd wanted Renee to join APO, but Renee said no because she couldn’t trust any of them. Then in the end Renee is killed by the person whom she trusts the most - unbeknownst to her that is not the actual Sydney.

Why, oh why did they make Slone evil again? He kept page 47 of the Rambaldi manuscript – which eventually led to him killing Nadia. Nadia was at Sloane’s house and discovered he still had the page. She got angry because he almost damn near killed her on his Rambaldi quest when they first met. She threw the page into the fire and he went beserk and slammed her into a glass table. UGH! Why did they have to take the obvious route and make Sloane the evil baddie.

But now a huge question looms. Lots of people finally believe that we had our answer to the prophecy regarding Sydney (Rambaldi’s page 47- fyi). It completely made sense that the Passenger (Nadia) and Chose One (Sydney – or rather SydClone) would do battle and only one would survive (Nadia). Now that Nadia is “dead” it’s like all that went to waste. ACK! I’m seriously too involved in this show.

Next week’s promo looks awesome though. VAUGHN!!!! WOO! Only bad thing is SydClone finds Vaughn, crap!!! It doesn’t look good either – they better now kill him off too. But it looks like Sydney will learn that Anna has been Project Helix’ed to look like her. SOO Excited now!!

Well until next alias viewing time, adieu!

(See this was a complete improvement on last week’s recap)

Alias 512

First time ever – I am going to comment as I watch the show. Of course by the time you read this the episode is over, but you get the drift. Beware it’s lengthy and very much all over the place. By lengthy it’s reminiscent of an early Alias Quote “It’s Tolstoy worthy” Hehehe.

Only 1 minute to go. Woot!

Oooooh it begins…..100th Episode!!!

[Recap]…BLAH BLAH BLAH….Spy Baby!!

Ok, now to Minsk. Oooh Dude kidnapped Sloane (huh?). I still think he’s another red herring. But who the hell is this dude (ooh his name is Joseph). Oooh something about 12 – alliance? SD cells? ACK! Brain blanking.

Ok this Nadia cure is getting annoying. Just cure her already!!

Engame? How many damn endgames are there on this show?

Peyton…visiting who? Anna Espinosa….interesting. I guess that explains how Anna escapes. Oooh offers of freedom.

Zoom to Syd and baby (still no name). So sweet.
Awww Jack dropping things/being clumsy (off camera) and telling Syd she should not have knives at child’s reach (who we learn is already 4 weeks old).

Back to Sloane….
Okay what does this “organization” want from Sydney? They want Sloane to influence her actions on some task….then he’ll get the cure on Nadia.

WILL!!!!! YEA!!! But boo because Anna Espinosa is at his door posing as a good guy. Stupid, stupid Will. Aww, hit with taser. Bad, Anna, Bad!

[Quick Recap:]
Okay that was a fairly pack and cryptic opening sequence. First we get Sloane arriving at a mansion – but his head and face are covered, so that he can’t see where they are. Then he enters a room where he is told that as long as he performs one more task for them, they will supply the cure for Nadia. We’ve been hearing about this since the season premier – blah blah blah.

Then we jump to Syd putting nameless baby into bed, as we hear a clatter – only to find it’s Jack in the kitchen dropping a knife. Then scolds her for having loose “weapons” in the house. Syd says baby is only 4 weeks old – but he says she’s a Bristow woman, that doesn’t mean much. Hehe.

Then we get to see Peyton entering a prison visiting Anna Espinosa offering her freedom for some services – which apparently involves kidnapping Will so to bring Sydney out of maternity leave. But the question is why?

[Opening credits….Back up to the minute review…]

Oooh Syd is told Will is kidnapped by Anna. Poor Sydney.

Poor Will getting injected with something. Ouch!

Okay Anna is on the phone with some guy – who sounds exactly like Joseph. So obviously Sloane’s cure people are working with Peyton and Anna.

Hehe, CIA agents are SpyBaby’s babysitters. How funny is that?

Isabelle – Spybaby has a name. Now I remember when they talked about the names. Plus they came prepared with a suitcase (like any other spy) but this one has baby related devices. Sooo funny. Okay this agent would be freaking me out if he were my babysitter.

Poor Sydney is still trying to prove to herself and her mother that she can be both a mom and spy – not like her mother. Stupid Irina telling Syd that she can’t be both.

[Commercial]

Moscow….

Sydney is back in action and with another red hair wig. That was always the best alias for her. She must be getting lots of rest because after only 4 weeks, she doesn’t look that tired after having a baby and caring for a newborn on her own. Mind you I assume Jack is helping.

Blah blah blah club…Blah blah blah they (Grace, Dixon, Rachel and Syd) enter club….more blah blah blahing. They’re looking for Will. Marshall is back at headquarter giving them coms. Interesting a device that can read how much money is in someone’s pocket – a girl’s new best friend. Hehe.

Anna – talking to a guy that spyteam bugged. Syd goes off running looking for Will, who turns out to be alone – but not for long. Syd VS Anna, with Peyton and some men watching in another room – including the doctor from the boat that was trying to get information from Sydney about Leo 47 Norte. Anna now escapes.

Okay that was weird, as Anna escapes Peyton and Dr are watching on screen but they have thermal image viewer on. Petyon asks Dr if they need to send back up for Anna, but Dr says no they have everything they need – as the thermal camera shows warm spots on her abdomen. Okay, um, huh? Whaaa??? Brain overload and it’s only the halfway mark.

[Commercial]

Syd and Will talking on a plane. Ah, Will is engaged – to the painter from Season 3. Apparently not engaged but almost. Now they are recapping. Will is so surprised and happy about baby Isabelle and looks kind of dumb for asking who the father was when he learnt that Vaughn is the father.

Oooh Vaughn talkage. Obviously Jack and Sydney know he’s alive – as per the previous episode. But Syd feels horrible because she has to lie to Will and let him know that Vaughn is dead.

Okay Sloane and drs with Thermal camera on Anna – I think the screen said something about Isotope.

Back to Syd, Will and Isabelle. Yay for uncle Will!!

CRAP! Agents are going after Will and taking Isabelle away from him and alarms are going off. Okay – apparently Prophet five injected a bomb into his head. CRAP! A bomb that will only kill Will. Not Will. Poor Will. First he dates his friend’s clone, then gets shot and moved into Witness Protection – thinking all his friends are dead. Then Syd shows up and he thinks it’s someone made to look like Syd. Now he’s kidnapped just as he plans to propose to someone and is injected with a bomb that will kill him and only him. C’mon guys give the guy a break!!

What the bloody hell? Okay so far Will has a mini-bomb in his head (hence the injection) and APO cannot try and get it out because it could detonate if removal is tried. The bomb will pretty much only kill hill. Crap! Cell phone rings – it’s Anna phoning Will. Sydney answers and Anna goes on to tell Sydney “now that I have your attention.”

[commercial – I hate commercials!!!]

Apparently Anna wants Sydney to bring page 47 of a certain Manuscript. Want to take a guess who’s manuscript…. RAMBALDI!!! As long as Syd gives Anna the page, the code will be given to deactivate the bomb in Will’s head.

Now we’re full back into Rambaldi. Of course Rachel has no clue about him – that is highly suspicious. C’mon almost EVERYONE knows Rambaldi on Alias. More talk about Syd being the chosen one.

How cute. Sydney and Will back in action together. I must say I much rather love their British personas from Season 3. This time they are in Portugal though. I love his adlibbing though – it’s always so cute.

Aww Will wants Syd to be his best man. Ha ha, now he’s uninviting her because she thought he was going to say he was afraid he was going to die instead. Too cute.

Syd vs Anna again. No fighting this time though. Background working on intercepting frequency to get code for Will’s bomb.

More talk about Rambaldi - Ack! Only 58% - Now 65% . Stay close or Will dies. CRAP!!! Now Will’s head is beeping and he only has 30s to live as Syd and Anna fight. It’s actually pretty funny because Syd is in all white and Anna in all black. It’s a totally Good Spy Vs Bad Spy. Phew!! Will is safe – no detonation.

Uh-oh Anna just locked Sydney in a separate car. Now some alarm sprinklers are spraying Sydney with something red. I don’t think it’s blood. It must have something to do with that thermal Camera thing we saw earlier in the episode. Now just to clarify it’s not exactly a thermal camera it’s something else but I didn’t catch the name I was too busy typing and then forgot what it said. It was something about cells or isotope scan on the body. Something like that. I’m sure we will know soon enough.

[commercial] CURSE you COMMERCIALS!!

Sydney is not doing well here. Uh-oh. Okay the camera is panning to the drain and where the drain is going. Apparently her DNA is starting something.

GO Will!! He just knocked out Anna. Save Sydney, Will, save her. Crap now she just through the bomb detonator out the window of the train, so Syd and Will must jump in water to find it. Yay For Sydney she found it. Will’s safe….but what was all this info about Syd’s dna.

Hmm Peyton and Sloane are meeting. Nadia’s cure is given to Sloane. But at what cost?

Okay so now we have canisters filled with the chemical agent that was sprayed on Sydney and that ran down the drain. Uh-oh it looks like they are trying to use Anna to make her into Sydney Bristow – ala Project Helix. (I think???)

Aww, Sydney and Will are walking with Isabelle.

Once again we must listen to Sydney feeling like the plague because everyone she knows gets hurt/kidnapped/killed just because they knew her. Will explains ever so well that that’s not the case.

HA!!! I told you… Anna has just been turned into Sydney! This cannot be a good thing. Oooh the preview shows that no one is safe. So apparently this like the Buffy end – she must go up against her self ?

[Final Review]

Wow, what an episode. Everyone is right; these past few episodes have been completely reminiscent of early Alias. Anna now being a duplicate of Sydney – I personally have been wondering when a clone of Sydney would pop up. C’mon it was inevitable they’ve been hinting at this since the beginning. How many times has Project Helix come up? Almost every few episodes. First there was that guy (I can’t remember his name – the Ethan Hawke guy), then Francie/Alison then Irina. This should most definitely prove to be interesting. Plus it was very interesting to see how Project Helix works. I do not remember ever seeing how the process worked. It’s all interesting.

Plus how great was seeing Will again. I love the continuity of the storyline, it shows the writers truly do respect fans. The last time we saw Will said he was interested in a painter and after seeing Sydney again he felt he had the guts to ask the painter out. Present day - we learn he was about to propose to this same woman. Adorable.

Finally a baby name – Isabelle. As soon as I heard the name I remembered her and Vaughn talking about naming their future daughter that. Even in that episode it was obvious they were going to have a girl. Just another link in the long chain of strong Bristow woman. How cute was Jack about the knives though. HAH! It was hiliarious. He was so serious about it too that was what was so funny about it.

So we learn that we’re somewhat back onto Rambaldi – not a surprise. No one really believed that story arc was finished with yet. But it is weird how Rachel has never heard about Milo Rambaldi. I’m starting to think she has very high mole-ness potential. In the beginning she was all scared and didn’t think she could hack being a double agent (for all of what? 1 episode – puh-lease). Then her constant naivety about EVERYTHING. She’s coming down, what my word!

So ends my LONG review. Okay maybe watching and typing maybe not be in my best interest – but screw it! I only write it, I don’t necessarily have to read it. Mwhahahhaa.

Communications Mix and Tactics

1)
Peter? Alias? Mole? – Grace, good or bad?

a.
Ok holy crap. Now is Tom supposed to be Tom or Peter? Which is real and
which is the alias? Now is he truly bad or is he a red herring? Plus German
language?

b.
Why did Jack truly pick him for APO?

c.
Could he be the baby in the picture with Irina that Nadia had in Season
4?

d.
Maybe Syd/Nadia’s cousin ?

2)
The “Cardinal” ?

a.
Who is the Cardinal?

3)
Grace’s dead wife?

a.
Is she truly dead? The picture did resemble Peyton, but that wouldn’t
make much sense, storyline wise.

4)
Irina – who is/was she working for?

5)
Vaughn – Is he there by choice or captured?

6)
Did Sydney know Vaughn was alive the whole time? Part Time?

7)
Why all the act of Vaughn dead, ie the cancelling of magazine
subscription? Is that just to lead anyone to believe she believed he was dead?

8)
If Vaughn is alive why Renee? What is her real purpose in all this?

9)
Why did Peyton say Syd wouldn’t leave the boat alive? What was the goal
of that?

10)
Why did Peyton and all them have copies of Syd’s ultrasound films? Was
her Doctor working with Prophet 5 the whole time – must have seeing how she said
Syd could still fly so late in her Pregnancy.

11)
What was the nursery in Hungary for?

12)
Was Syd to die on ship and Irina or whoever take spybaby?

13)
Is Rambaldi connected to Spybaby or something? Is that really why when
they did the amniocentesis?

14)
What about Nadia?

15)
If Irina is head of Prophet 5, then couldn’t she just get the cure for
Nadia?

16)
Is Irina working with Katya?

17)
Is Katya the Cardinal, after all she was the sparrow in season 3.

18)
Is Rene maybe related to the bristows or Vaughn or something?

19)
Is Nadia actually Jack’s Daughter not Sloane’s?

20)
Will Weiss come and see Nadia once she’s out of her coma? What happens
there?

21)
Is it really Prophet 5 that is controlling Sloane?

22)
What exactly is Prophet’s endgame? Is it connected with Rambaldi?

23)
What is the Horizon? Is it maybe the endgame with Rambaldi?

24)
How does Sydney intend to raise SpyBaby and be a spy?

25)
Will!!! How will he react to all this?

26)
How can Anna Espinosa be free if the CIA has captured her in season 4?

27)
Will we see Sark again?

28)
Is maybe Rachel the mole? She’s annoying enough. Maybe it is a team of
moles? Hmmmm.

29)
When and how will Syd and Vaughn be reunited (most definitely in series
*cry* finale)?

30)
Could Jack really be the big bad of alias? Maybe he’s Rambaldi – we’ve
never actually seen images of Rambaldi and what do we really know about Jack?
Far fetched, I know but still.

31)
Will we ever find out more about Rachel?

32)
Will Carrie ever find out that Marshall and APO? Will we see her and and
the little guy before the end?

33)
Who is Peyton really working for?

Okay some of the ideas came from Let’s
Talk Alias blog. I do plan to elaborate and add more as soon as it’s not late
and seen more episodes. Hopefully by the end we’ll have lots more answers than
questions.

Alias 510 and 511

Alias …. Wow!

Yes, the episode was that great. Now could that be attributed to the fact that I was spoiler free or just that the caliber of the episode has greatly improved since the beginning of this season and previous seasons?

This is only a quick recap as I haven’t had a chance to review the episode again – so to give it a true review. But really what more do I need to see?

• Sydney had her baby.


• Spy Mommy and Spy Daddy delivered the baby – even though Irina tried to leave Syd while she was in labor. Ultimately she changed her mind on escaping to finally be there for her daughter, only to escape when both Jack and Sydney were too preoccupied with Spy Baby. Hopefully next episode we’ll have a girl name for Spy Baby. I can’t recall the names Vaughn and Sydney were saying in the first episode, but I’ll look it up before my full review.


• We learn Vaughn is in fact alive. WOOT!! I always said he never “died” on the show.


• Spy mommy was back – what an evil mother, yikes!


• Will Tippen is back on next week’s episode – Woot!


• More 47 references!


• Weiss on the episode (just not the same without him and Vaughn).


• Mole inside APO, eh? I’m assuming they want us to think it’s Thomas but that’s just too obvious, even for Alias. Who knows.


• Plus didn’t Thomas Grace’s dead wife look a lot like Peyton? Hmmmm? And what was all that about the “cardinal”?

Far too many questions left to answer in 5 episodes! ACK!

Any hoos, it’s been a long day and I need some sleep. See you all later!

Biblical Villian Meme

The Serpent You scored 47% Pride, 47% Envy, 32% Ambition, and 57% Deceitfulness!

You are the serpent. You decieved Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden and were later cursed by God. Of course, Satan was just using you as a pawn. In fact, you probably didn't know any better. After all, you were just a humble animal, content to live the lazy/non-glorified life that animals live. You probably just wanted to have a family and be a fine/upstanding snake in your community, but Satan knew that you had a trait that he could use. That is the trait of deceitfulness. Unfortunately, he managed to use you, and we all know the rest.

My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 38% on Pride You scored higher than 53% on Envy You scored higher than 10% on Ambition You scored higher than 65% on Deceitfulness
