1.10 Spirit Jack: "I understand it's been a difficult week." What Jack did in this episode just blew me away. When I was watching this episode for the first time, I wasn't sure what Jack's motivations were, and how he really felt about Sydney. Did he really love her? Was he actually KGB, after all? The moral ambiguity of what Jack did, and how he didn't hesitate for a moment to sacrifice Russek for Sydney, was just a fascinating insight into his character. He may even be more ruthless than Sloane -- but it's now clear that he loves his daughter, and will do anything for her. Sloane was unbelievably creepy and totally evil in this episode. Sydney is like a daughter to him, and he's ready to torture her? When he reached out to Sydney, I actually shuddered. We did learn here that the CIA betrayed him (although we don't know how), and that his wife has lymphoma. Will foolishly continued his suicidal investigation and now he knows that it involves something called "SD-6", from a deposition in the trial of a David McNeill, who is now in Lompoc. Vaughn has lost his heart to Sydney; he bought her a Christmas present. Vaughn also managed to fake out Jack. That took courage, and wasn't an easy thing to do. In this week's cliffhanger, Jack has to kill Sydney? Somehow, I just don't believe that's going to happen. Especially now that we know for certain how he feels about her. Bits and pieces: -- The scenes in Cuba were photographed with a yellow tint. -- Again, we saw Amy of the magenta hair. -- The photos of Laura Bristow look a bit like Sydney. -- Russek has been a nonentity so far, inserted in earlier episodes in order to set up for this one, one assumes. Poor guy. -- Severin Driscoll wasn't in suite 47. Again with the number 47. -- Shouldn't Hassan have recognized Sydney? -- Will has succumbed to nineteen-year-old Jenny, probably because of not getting anywhere with Sydney. Although that's no excuse. -- This week's itinerary: Kenya and Cuba. -- This week's hot look: Red sunglasses, pink lipstick, blonde hair... black bikini. Four out of four spies, Billie |
