Rambles of Alias.
Dude. Tonight's Alias episode ROCKED. One of the best episodes of the season so far, considering this season has been lacking.
Babbles because I'm not coherent:
It’s Speed!
I love the tension during the whole episode - my heart was beating like crazy throughout the whole thing. Lovely job corresponding the music with the scene.
When Weiss was shot, I think I went a bit apeshit on my roommate. Thank goodness he really wasn't shot because I love Weiss. The whole 'pretending to be the Convenant' was completely crazy and well done - they were screwing the bomber’s mind like crazy, and the set was amazing. Ricky Gervais was fantastic. It also made me go 'gah' because you know that the real CIA or US government probably does that too.
Vaughn pretending to be Sark was bwah! Stick to French Vaughn. He looked good in the black, but Sark would have looked damn good in that outfit.
Sark: "You wouldn't happen to know an eight-letter word for 'arrogant'?" Heeee.
Vaughn herding Sark to the washroom with handcuffs? I was getting slashy thoughts.
Sark helping Vaughn detonate the bomb was beyond hawt. We definitely need more of those scenes. It made my head reel with thoughts of Sark working for the CIA but love my Sark evil, so hmm. Marshall's reaction to Sark on the headphone cracked me up. I love you Marshall.
There was no way that Vaughn would have beaten Sark in their little brawl. Sark is a trained assassin and he can’t even do a bit of whoopass on Vaughn? Yeah right. Sark will be in custody for all of 5 minutes and then he’ll escape. No wait. He won’t even make it to the jail or whereever because Lauren will rescue him. That’s my scenario.
Syd, you’re a dumbass for telling bomber dude your alias while the Convenant was brainwashing you. It’s all about keeping it vague.
I called Dr. Barnett in Sloane’s bed, but it was pretty obvious. Also, ick.
Syd: "The man I love is on that place." Insert rolling eyes here. It’s not like I’m a complete S/V hatah - watching my Season 2 DVDs made me aww for them a little. Now, all I want to do is slam my head against something hard and yell, "I get it! They’re the next Dawson and Joey, soulmates 4EVAH! Vaughn always knows where Syd is, even when she’s crying in the parking lot! Forget that he was stabbed! Nevermind that he was on an airplane because he will always be there for her!" Gawd.
Spy Daddy kicks so much ass, smothering bomber dude to death and then defibrillating him.
That is all from me. Yes, so much more happened, but my brain cells are too small to remember them all.
Oh! A Dixon-centric episode next week? Squeal!!! But the promo was even worse than the ER promos. "There is only one person he can trust to rescue his kids." It's true, but it was badly done.
My weekend was pretty good. I did a Scrubs marathon with Ravi (season 1) and fell in love with the show all over again. It is honestly the most hilarious and heart-warming show ever. Everyone has to watch eppy 1.20 - it was a rendition of West Side Story, except it was the surgeons versus the medical doctors. Sooooo funny, especially during the singing scenes (JD and Turk, Dr. Cox and Dr. Wen). Sigh.
Also, Mikey came up, who I haven't seen in years. Hey Mikey, he likes it!
ETA: A George Clooney quote that is absolutely hilarious:
I came running out of the house naked with my pig, Max... And my buddy Ben, who was in the guesthouse down below, came running out naked with a gun, because he thought someone was breaking in. So we're naked like this, and my biggest fexar was that we would end up getting killed and they would find two naked guns, a pig and a gun. [on an earthquake in San Francisco]
Heeee. I love that man.
