I cried. lol Didn't see that coming!
Anyway... I liked it. But I do not think it was half good of any of the S1/S2 episodes. But still, I understand what you're talking about, it felt new, it felt fresh.. Like they have a good story to tell this time, not like S3 and S4. The only episode I felt like it had the old times quality since S3 was the one with Irina's return, which happens to be written by the same girls who wrote 501.
I thought Vaughn was going to die in the accident. Never thought he was going to be killed by the CIA... And he surviving all those 1000 shots was just like "Hey! Are you Superman or something ?" But anyway.. They choosed Isabelle!! I've always wanted this name for my daughter!! So cute.
The hospital scene was so sad... I never thought I was going to cry for a Tv show.
When the final episode of Alias airs.. it will be a disaster. I can already see the ocean of tears comming.
And the cerimony on the church... I have to clap here for the writers. I've been noticing that little by little the emocional Sydney from S1 is becoming cold just like her dad after all she have been tru. We can see the character changing.
Elodie Bouchez did looked really young! I noticed that too.. Her voice is like a teenage girl. I'm excited to see how her character will be. I think she will be awesome.
But Rachel Nichols... I'm really, really upset about the way they introduced her! If they're expecting us to hate her(which I know they don't), then congratulations! I bet one million of people hate her already.
1. Show just her back with a hair looking exactly like the most hated person ever(Lauren) was really not a good ideia! Most of us immediatly thinked about Lauren on that scene.
2. Why the hell did she had to be the person who discovered where was Vaughn ?? People will think "If it wasn't for that bitch, Vaughn would be alive now."
3. She was helping the CIA boss just like Lauren did everything for her boss from NSA.
There was no need to introduce Rachel on this episode. And if her character happens to be another Lauren... It will be just horrible. I hope Rachel Nichols will have a little more chemistry with the cast then Melissa George had. Melissa just don't fit on Alias. And one Lauren is enough.
I don't know what to think. I have to watch a little mor episodes to have a conclusion if I like it or not. But just one thing... Its pretty obvious that its the final season of Alias.
So.. they better start to think about a finish for all the open storylines and not just create new ones.
JJ Abrams said to keep our eyes open cause there are clues to whats going to happen... So, reasons to believe Vaughn is still alive:
-Jack: "I''ll do everything I can to help you both."
-Sydney to Jack and Vaughn: "What are we gonna do?" then they cut the scene.
-Vaughn drinks that thing right before he "dies".
-Jack didn't hold Sydney after Vaughn died.
-The look Jack and Sydney did to each other on the hospital and on the church.
-The fact the no one dies on Alias.
-The fact the producers/cast/creator of the show already said he will be back.
-Vartan is still credited as part of the cast while Greg Gumberg is not.
-His coffin was closed.
Danilo... you better read word by word of what I wrote! heheheh.
