I HAVE NOW SEEN VM. WHEW.
If any of you still have canadiian friended (but, i mean, who still cares about her, honestly?), you may have noticed she deleted her journal. She won't be bringing it back, as she happens to be on the run from the law at the moment, so you can go ahead and delete her. FROM YOUR LIVES. FOREVER. She plans on getting her own official website eventually and will probably do a blog there, just so you know. She's all, like, "professional filmmaker" now or something.
Alias - Prophet Five
WELL. Uhm. So. That was... huh.
He seemed pretty dead! I, uh... i don't know. I actually got sort of teared up at the funeral, but i think it was more sadness at how much they've fucked up this show. I used to love Vaughn! Like, RIDICULOUSLY a lot. The fact that they had to retroactively go back and fuck with aaaalllll the other seasons for this storyline pisses me off. Because they couldn't just kill Vaughn, they also had to completely change his history and everything i liked about him from the beginning. He was never a naive dumb good guy? It's like saying season one never even happened. NO THANKS.
It's just extremely weird to me that Vaughn died and it hardly resonated at all. Like... that's... it? Uhhhhhh. Seeing him get shot about a billion times was kind of funny. Although that really was a nice sad scene, with Syd running behind the train watching. And also in the hospital when he, you know, died. FUCK, can you believe it? ANOTHER fiance dead. She's two for two. That really sucks. For Syd.
I wish she had completely lost her shit like when Danny died, but i guess this show isn't good enough for scenes like that anymore. Holy crap, remember the pilot? Man, that was like, the best episode ever. And they referenced Almost Thirty Years and i was all "dude! this show used to be SO GOOD!"
Jesus, THAT WAS SO POINTLESS. Vaughn's dead and all i got was this crappy episode. (of course, he could always come back because no one ever really dies on Alias, but... they kind of went through a lot to show us he was really dead. I guess they could have switched him in the hospital room after they shut the blinds. I don't know, man. I don't even care.)
Hearing Syd say she met Vaughn six years ago was really bizarre. Of course, adding in the missing two years makes it seem like a lot more, but still. SIX YEARS!
I never posted about it, but i really did enjoy the last three episodes of last season. I actually was really into them, like, freaking out and enjoying it all like the old episodes. I think Irina (and the fact that she ROCKS) had a lot to do with it, but it was quality stuff. I even got all shippy when Syd and Vaughn made out in that bar in that one scene, which was weird! But they had chemistry! It was quite literally amazing. And i totally went insane after "My name isn't Michael Vaughn", laughing at how much the show is FUCKED and also being sad because it was completely crazy and screwing with, you know, everything. That scene started out really annoyingly sappy, too, and made me want them both to die, so i was quite glad when it got to "you're not a bad guy, are you?" and the crash and HEY, end title! Bye!
This is so weird. I'm never gonna get used to it, Vaughn being dead and Syd being pregnant. I'll just pretend it's not really happening. (it's like Mulder and Scully hooking up and having a kid and the Lone Gunmen dying! None of that actually happened!) He didn't even get a GOOD death! I mean, yeah, shot to shit, but he died in a frickin hospital room after he and Syd named their kid. Woo. Danny's death, on the other hand, was so incredibly powerful. SERIOUSLY, I LOVE THE PILOT.
Oh, and uh, Vaughn being a double agent is stupid. And Sloane was hardly there, and Nadia and Irina (and Sark! WTF Sark!) no longer exist, and Jack is still cool even though he didn't do much. You could really tell when they were hiding Jen's belly. And i love Marshall for still being hung up on having lunch with Vaughn. MARSHALL/ZOMBIE!VAUGHN OTP. THE END.
Wait. WAIT. I just had a breakthrough. Vaughn could be a zombie, and he and Nadia could have wacky zombie hijinks together, and the show would be RIFE with Shaun of the Dead references, including Queen music and Simon Pegg guest-starring, and it would all end with Vaughn and Weiss playing video games in the shed in the backyard of Syd and Vaughn's house. YES. I JUST FIGURED OUT HOW TO SAVE ALIAS.
Okay. Now i'm finished.
WAIT. One more thing. Has every season premiere included a funeral? I was thinking about this, and i thought it broke down after s2, but it doesn't quite! S1 - Danny. S2 - Emily. S3 - well... nobody, but it did have a flashback to Vaughn crying in the rubble of Syd's house cause she was dead! S4 - Syd and Nadia visiting Irina's tomb... thingie. S5 - Vaughn. SEE, it kind of works! Dead people, everywhere! Ironically, only one of those people actually stayed dead afterwards. Dude, how are we up to season FIVE already??
Also, i thought Syd telling Vaughn she was pregnant and then both of them immediately parachuting off the cliff was funny. Hah.
OKAY. I SWEAR I'M DONE NOW.
Also, a small note about Without a Trace: aww, Martin got in a car wreck and got shot up at the same time as Vaughn! They really are the same person! :D Also- OMG DANNY. He was so traumatized and sad and pretty and lying to Sam! DANNY!
Uhm, Serenity is TODAY. !@*&#*^#%!%^(!%$!(^
