Oh, hell, why not?

Because everybody's doing it.

I enjoyed the episode. I think that had to do with watching it with a whole bunch of people, though. Because (and this may be the result of watching with a bunch of people too), now I'm confused. If the little plane came from the guy she killed, does that mean it belonged to the bank robber guy she kissed? In that case, what was in the safe deposit box? And shouldn't someone tell JJ not to have safe-deposit boxes in two different shows back-to-back?

I didn't realize it was going to be two hours long till it started.

Nora covered my whole pregnancy theory, so I don't need to go over that.

I'll stick with my confusion. Jack was IMing Irina for most of last season, till that one time she deleted her account, right? So when did she put out a hit on Syd, and when did he kill her? And what does that have to do with the file? Did Syd read that in the file? That's what she told Vaughn, right? Because I was under the impression that the big reveal from the file was that Syd's whole life had been some sort of project controlled by Jack. So, that means Jack had Irina killed (and Irina put the hit on Syd) before the finale last year? When did Irina delete her account anyway?

Why must complicated stuff like this happen off screen? If we're not going to get Irina back, why must JJ confused me with all this stuff? I'd rather live hoping against hope that she's coming back. Or at least they could kill her in the present day within an episode but, like, have her head blown off like they did on Homicide when they killed Daniel Baldwin's character a few years after he left the show.

On thing that amused me last night is that I'd done informational interviews (that, of course, didn't lead to anything job-wise) with guys who worked on two of the shows (both Harvard alums). I noticed Carlton Cuse's name as a producer on Lost, and Jeff Melvoin co-wrote the Alias episode (and is also apparently a producer on Alias now). At the time I met them (in 1999), they produced Nash Bridges and Early Edition, respectively. Man, I had no idea they'd be working on so much cooler shows now!
