ALIAS - No Hard Feelings

Sark: And what was that one for?
Sydney: I'll get back to you.


So apparently, I completely forgot to enter a blog space for this episode, so I went back to cover it, that's why its so late, coming in right before the finale...anyway...

Okay...so this episode was a sarkney fan's wet dream...come on. Even if she was pretending to be Sydpinosa. Two and three were the best seasons because they had Michael and Sark, and tonight encompassed both! But speaking of pretending to be...I'd never been particularly fond of JG, but if I thought I was impressed with her bad girl last week...how impressed was I to watch her (let me try to get this right) good, pretending to be bad turned good. Is that right? Sydney pretending to be Anna turned Sydney. Yeah thats it. I can't even imagine how difficult that must be for an actress, and she did that extraordinarily. And because of that, we got to see Sydney and Sark working together and she had to like it, even if she was pretending, at least she wasn't a double. I can only imagine the fanfiction this will spawn...
(Speaking of good acting, I'll never understand how David Anders does that awesome accent, but to hear him pull of speaking Italian while doing the sexy british accent is even awesomer...that's right...I just said awesomer.)

I was disturbed/heartened...or just plain creeped out by the fact that Sloane was so greived by Sydney's apparent death...but I wasn't surprised. Where was that grief over your own child you freak? He has always possessed that freakshow fatherly gene over Sydney, and whats even more creepy is that I'm pretty sure its more of a Rambaldi "chosen one" thing than the fact that he's known her forever. He's just generally a creepy guy.

So its all nice and good that Tom's good and everything and he found and killed the man that killed his wife, but for the last time...who the hell cares??? Alias got eight episodes to tie up five years of storyline. Why on earth would they waste time on someone no one cares about?

Back to Sark...everyone else is as happy as I am to have that guy back right? I really don't get why he ever left? Come on...I'm not seeing David Anders anywhere else on my TV, and I'm just not okay with that. Really, what else is he doing? The kid needs to be on my screen people. And I say kid because he's my age, and I like it.

Okay, problems with the mythology of the episode. Apparently, Sloane's had this page since Sydney found it in Argentina and he jacked it from the CIA after they got it back from K-Directorate. (That'll take you back) But so yeah, if Sloane had the ability to decrypt it, why is he just now getting around to it? He didn't give up Rambaldi until season four, so that timeline doesn't make any sense. As much as I hate to admit it...more and more its lookin' like I'm right about the writers just throwing this crap together because of the cancellation.

And that Rose guy was just creepy.
