without reading through the thread because i don't want spoilers, let me just say i'm hooked on this show. i went through season one in about three days and am now (after one day) 6 episodes into season two. i just can't stop watching.

THe first few seasons are worth watching, and it's not all that bad...but they lose steam eventually...

I am going to watch the series finale this year, but nothing leading up to it I don't think.

What the hell is wrong with you Jenna?

I also just finished up Season 1 with my wife, and am picking up season two from blockbuster today.

Out of my head, witch!!!




I was going to say something when I saw your location as Credit Dauphine earlier today. I love Jack Bristow...he's so calm and F.U. World.

don't bring me down off this alias high!


my only comment thus far (and i'm willing to forgive it) is that i find myself saying, in persona alias team, "we swear, this isn't l.a.!"

omg, are you serious? holy crap, i am so scared of us. like, really, really scared. if you weren't a lakers fan i would be at a shrink's office right now.


also, jack bristow is awesome. i loved the part when sydney was talking to vaughn about her dad (i don't remember about what, specifically) and she says she remembers being a kid and asking him if santa was real and he says, matter-of-factly, "what are you talking about? of course santa is real." the way she imitated him was so perfect. you could totally see him saying it like that.

What are your feelings about Will after season 1?

What are your feelings about Will after season 1?

i like him. he's a little milquetoast, though. his blind love for sydney can be off-putting at times. i was hoping that he and francie would get together, what with them spending so much time together. and he seems to be taking the whole heroin thing suspiciously well. also, his eyes seem to switch between being normal and mis-aligned.

his "addiction." i know he got to stay alive because of it, but he really doesn't seem as bitter as he should.

I remember something about that, but I forgot how it happened...

are you teasing me? it's seems pretty significant right now, at least.

Seriously, I forget a lot that happened that first season

will gets kidnapped by the russians because he mentioned, per jack's instructions, as a way to set up a meeting with his "***********") rambaldi's circumference. he knew nothing about it, although the russians didn't know that, so they kidnapped him and tortured him. previously he had given a reporter friend the story he had written about sd-6 and told her to have it printed if anything happened to him. when he was kidnapped, she assumed the worst and printed it. meanwhile, sydney and her dad go in to get him back, a move that sd-6 finds out about. in an effort to prove to sd-6 that will is not a "problem" and will not be looking into them any more, they come up with a heroin addiction for will to explain his disappearance and story. he claims the story was fiction and he wrote it while drugged up.

Man, that was such a good first season

What did you think of the finale?

 

[jenna2891]

you know what's funny, i had to look up the specifics of that finale. i have watched like 5 a day so they're all running together. that said, good ending! i kind of had a feeling about her mom once sydney had her "revelation" underwater while sucking the air from the tires of the car. also, should be interesting to see where the whole sloane/sloane's wife storyline goes. i thought it was funny that sloane dug up her grave. after he saw it empty, i was thinking, "that doesn't prove she's alive. if anyone's is messing with you, they're just going to dig her up to make you think she's alive."

dammit, now i really want to go home and watch more. arg, 5 more hours!

But didn't the finale turn everything on its head? Or maybe that was season 2?

don't say, don't say!


it must be 2, season 1 was her finding out her mom was "the man."

i'll let you know tomorrow what i think. i', sure by then i'll have season 2 finished.

his "addiction." i know he got to stay alive because of it, but he really doesn't seem as bitter as he should.

I know, he's way too "boy, syd is super duper cool spy girl man I should kiss her again even though her dad gave me sweet lady h and all but syd is awesome i'm so happy to be her friend and in secret love with her but not like vaughn because I'm not her handler and I've actually kissed her so there isn't as much sexual tension and drugs are good and remember when I was in wedding crashers and used to mess around on Rachel McAdams and told my friends about how I hooked up with some **** and he said *****!! and I laughed, then threw up from visine and oh boy would Syd kick that owen wilson's ass and wow I'm lucky to be alive."

I'd like to see a bit more anger about being told to become a drug addled bitch, and losing his job and all. But all he sees is "Must kiss syd again..must kiss syd again..."

I've only seen two eps in season two thus far, but am betting dollars to donuts at an even exchange rate that he'll be working for either SD-6 or CIA before I hit mid-season.

[Mike Olbinski]

****d-dogg, don't read... spoiler!****
















francie!

 

[jenna2891]

but hey, i was right about her and will hooking up!

 

[jenna2891]

my predictions, with 5 episodes left to watch in season 2:

vaughn really is a double agent/bad guy/not who he says he is.

sloane is really sydney's dad



i just wanted to get those down now in case they happen, and then i won't seem like i'm lying if i say "i totally knew that was going to happen!"
