Um... the FUCK?!?!

May 05, 2003 09:02

Firstly, we went to see X2 on Friday night. Lame title, kick-ass movie. Alan Cummings just totally rocked my socks. There were a couple of things that bothered me, but on the whole, it was definitely a worthy successor to the first one. And fully 45 minutes longer, so that was a good thing.

And now, Alias finale discussion.

( Dude. )

x-men, movies, alias

Whatever, Agent I Move On.

See, I keep hoping he's just engaged. Some guys wear rings when they're engaged, right? Engaged, while serious, is not as serious as marriage and therefore easier to break off.

I don't want S/V to be over, yo. I mean, normally when the UST couple gets together, it gets boring, right? It wasn't boring! It was cute and hot and...damn it, why can't they get married and have hot little spy babies?!

It's just a tv show...

Also, now my overactive little imagination is plotting out fanfic. Just like everyone else in the Alias fandom. Bahhhhh.

And finally, I agree with you about the mild bewilderment. But I have the JJ faith.

He could be engaged... you're right, that wouldn't be nearly as bad. I also had the desperate thought that maybe it was just a prop for a mission he was on--though if "they asked me to come back" means what I think it does, that Vaughn left the CIA (which would make sense), obviously that shoots that theory. And then I thought maybe it's not really Vaughn... but there are only so many times they can use the "doubling" device. Oh, who knows.

It was cute and hot and...damn it, why can't they get married and have hot little spy babies?!

Exactly. It was working. I was still hooked. I was still going "awww" at every cute moment. Like you said--I'm just not ready for them to be over. I mean, it took them a year and a half to get together--and all we get is the world's longest kiss, a very hot kitchen scene, and some adorable hockey banter? That's not enough for me ( ... )

I just wish I didn't have to wait several months to figure out whether or not he's dead to me.

Snicker. You killed my One True Pairing! You're dead to me, JJ. Yeah...that works for me. :-P As for the waiting, man...I had it so much better when I only had to wait like 2 weeks between seeing the season 1 finale and the start of season 2. This actually-watching-Alias-when-it's-on shit is just a bad idea!

What have you got in mind?

Nothing with any shread of originality, I'm sure. Just, like...how could I fix what JJ did? Also, if I go along with the end of S/V, then how can I make it Syd/Sark, since he's apparently not her brother? There are just so damn many possibilities...And now that I'm done with school for a couple of months, I have limitless mental energy to spare.

You killed my One True Pairing!

I'm not as worried about him having killed my favorite pairing as having killed my favorite show. But as our favorite Mama Hari might say... truth takes time. Like, several months.

Grow and thrive, little plot bunnies! I'm anxious to try me some St4rf00t fic. However... did we get conclusive evidence that Sark isn't Syd's brother? I didn't notice that... but then again, I was drinking.

And suddenly I'm remembering that JJ is the guy who did all that weird shit with Felicity at the end--dream sequences and such... and I gotta say, I kind of have a bad feeling about this.

Actually, the only reason I am REALLY worried about the finale is BECAUSE JJ was the one behind it. In any other case I'd just brace myself for some ride, but the JJ ride is EXTREMELY bumpy and NEVER ends well. Honestly, I'm surprised it took him two years to fuck things up.

Felicity was a delight. I still love that show. The first two & a half seasons anyway. The rest is a nightmare. What's been done to S/V - and not even a big shipper here - is such a nightmare and it's only the beginning.

I'm still betting money on "we're back at the end of season one, but two years later". There are some arguments to the contrary, but I can see them explained easily.

brynnmck May 5 2003, 20:50:23 UTC

Hmm... well, that's not very encouraging.

If you're right, and we're back to the end of S1, then I'm gonna be really pissed. But when Syd tells Vaughn "They doubled Francie," he says, "I know." How would that work with that theory?

corngirl_jo May 6 2003, 10:58:39 UTC

But when Syd tells Vaughn "They doubled Francie," he says, "I know." How would that work with that theory?

Yeah, that's one fluke. I can see JJ get away with it, though. We may find out Vaughn misunderstood or, was in such turmoil he was only paying that much of an attention. Or the CIA told him to check Syd out, if it was really her, or if she wasn't playing them, so he was just going along.

just_eunice May 5 2003, 17:15:35 UTC

Okay. This may not be a total loss. There is the "this didn't really happen" scenario, in which it is *not* really two years later and either Sloane or Sark is playing one hell of a mind game on a comatose (but still in the present) Syd. Or some other scenario like that ( ... )

just_eunice May 5 2003, 17:17:37 UTC

This is Eunice by the way...forgot to sign my post there. Though you probably figured that out since "Sark is hot" never appeared once in the post.

brynnmck May 5 2003, 21:07:39 UTC

Eunice, get back here so I can lick you from head to toe. This is the first thing I've read that's given me any hope about where things might be going. The idea that Syd is the Rambaldi device is very intriguing... but then what about the two years we missed? Has everyone just been treading water? At first, I was thinking major flashbacks, but that wouldn't make sense because Syd wouldn't be interacting with any of the other main characters, and that's no good... so I dunno. But your idea that she's been hidden away somewhere getting transformed would get around that problem for the most part ( ... )
