Went home last night to rest my aching back and watched eight hours straight of Alias.
*eyes* Is it just me, Ari, or is the writing a little less than stellar in season three? For the space of about six episodes, I swear to God Jack just kept repeating the same thing with tiny variations, about the treatment and what Syd's been through. Grrr. How dare they fuck with my Jack's dialogue? AND I MISS IRINA! *wails* heh, check jack chatting in caps Ohhhhhh, I loved the way they ended that conversation. *round eyes, clasped hands* My Alias OTP = Jack/Irina.
OMIGOD SLOANE! *knuckles eyes* As of last night, he had a bullet dug out of him and OMIGOD that man is doing my HEAD IN, now he's a ---- *has apoplectic fit*! God, I loved what Syd said to Vaughny in the corridor, the way she just ripped into him. *rolls on floor, squealing with delight*
And, um, would someone please distract the Dark City fan in me for a moment? *hastily waves Lauren flag then stashes it out of sight*
What the fuck is Sloane up to? And remind me to look up Justin Theroux ... *drools* They're getting quite racy in this season, aren't they? Liek woah. I just can't believe how much they cram into the episodes, how quickly they traverse a plot arc. The first two discs could have been dragged interminably out over a season, it felt like I was watching a whole season and I had to keep reminding myself I was only on the second disc.
Y'know the guy in the cell next to Syd? Well, he was in one of the chillier episodes of The X Files and he was a doctor in The Cell. Swear to God he sucks me in every single time and my god he's gotten huge. I can never remember his name, I know it has three parts and possibly includes a Paul somewhere. Okay, now I'm going to have to Google him. No, I told an absolute lie. It wasn't Paul. It was Pruitt. Pruitt Taylor Vince. I will never trust that man. And ha, of course it was him in Identity. *shudders* Of course he'd turn up in Alias, him being the master of the mindfuck performance.
I am not seeing the Jack/Vaughny slash. Nor am I seeing the Jack/Sloane slash. *looks ill* Nope, not even the Syd/Weiss possible canon to come. Y'know what I am admitting to seeing? The Syd/Lauren femslash. Well, before the car chase. It was practically searing off the screen. Talk about me blinking at this new development in my brain ... never really leant that way in fandom, not even Buffy/Faith.
Not impressed with Sark's new do. Makes him look squinty eyed and dome headed. I want his hair back but nice and short before it grew into something transvestite. *scowls* Want sexy!Sark back.
And OMIGOD ALISON! My god, she is so incredibly hot, you could totally tell the actress is having an absolute blast playing her. Fuck, she's brilliant. *drools a little*
Poor Syd. I'm hoping there are huge long Julia Thorne sagas out there in Alias ficdom. Y'reckon, Ari?
No, I'm not obsessed at all.
