Well, the last 5 minutes was great. The rest of it dragged a bit. The scenes with Syd and Vaughan were monotonous. Did anyone else think their kiss was really awkward?Magnolia88 said:Wow. Just when I think I'm done with this show, it comes along and knocks me out again.
What a great episode.
The entire episode was awkward, although I think in part it was meant to be disorienting. I think it was to try and make the audience somewhat feel what Sydney was going through. The Syd and Vaugh scenes were strange because they were all things we have already seen, but then some of the dialog suddenly changed. I thought it was interesting showing things like that through the eyes of Sydney but I could easily see someone being bored with it. Not one of the best episodes, but still good. I certainly didn't see Lena Olin coming back since they've tried so hard to get her and she just didn't seem interested.jehma said:Well, the last 5 minutes was great. The rest of it dragged a bit.

I enjoyed seeing the refilmed scenes from earlier seasons. What was monotonous was the repetitive "Syd, you have to let me go". "No, I can't let you go."DancnDude said:The entire episode was awkward, although I think in part it was meant to be disorienting.

Every single scene of theirs in every single episode was like that. "I need you." "No, I need you." Blah blah blah. I'm so glad he's still dead. Just like old times, I fast-forwared through all his scenes in this episode, with closed captioning on. Got the three important lines of dialog without having to sit through the repetitive weepy mush.jehma said:I enjoyed seeing the refilmed scenes from earlier seasons.

You have GOT to be kidding. This ep dragged like none I've ever seen with Alias. Even the "Syd torture/drug" scenes were lousy. It's certainly lost its mojo. I agree with a previous poster about how the scenes with Vaughn and Syd just DRAAAAGGGGGED.Deekeryu said:... This episode was fast paced and lots happened....
I thought it was great as well. However, I didn't think so until 50 minutes into it.Magnolia88 said:Wow. Just when I think I'm done with this show, it comes along and knocks me out again.
What a great episode.
I have to agree with the above. The day I watched it was kind of busy so when I was watching it I was constantly dozing off and rewinding. In fact I even missed mamma spy returning!!Bierboy said:You have GOT to be kidding. This ep dragged like none I've ever seen with Alias. Even the "Syd torture/drug" scenes were lousy.

I think it depends on what you are looking for with Alias. For someone who is looking for the character drama, and specificly Syd and Vaughn's relationship, those scenes were gold. We've had very, very little happiness between the two of them, and for people following the show to see their relationship develop it was a kick in the groin for him to be killed off the way he was; they literally had about five minues of "happiness" before it was over, forever. Many people felt cheated, and not in a deep-Whedonesque sort of way, but a "dang, five years for THAT?" sort of way.Bierboy said:I agree with a previous poster about how the scenes with Vaughn and Syd just DRAAAAGGGGGED.
You mean a "Forever Knight"?audiocrawford said:I think they will leave us satisfied, as long as they don't pull an "Angel"...
LOL haven't seen either of those shows. I take it they had similar psudo-artsy-choose-your-own-adventure-after-many-seasons-of-loyalty-busyba said:You mean a "Forever Knight"?
Or a "Blake's 7"?
