1.13 The Box Vaughn: "This is a charge of C-4. I can tell because it says C-4 everywhere." More of the same from last week. Very well written; I couldn't tell what was going to happen from moment to moment. I thought the dialogue was particularly clever, too -- especially the Cole/Sydney scene about him asking her out, and her shooting him down. I particularly liked Tarantino's line about the mall, Haladki's about pizza, and Sloane's "tastefully minimalistic office." Jack proved irrevocably that he loves Sydney more than himself, giving himself up to protect her. Which also left Sydney alone to save the day, to deactivate the C4 before the vault door opened. And Vaughn, upon receiving Dixon's plea for help, galloped to Sydney's rescue, and he and Sydney got to do danger stuff together. This was the first time was got to see Vaughn in the field, wasn't it? He's cute and brave. My favorite scene was the two of them trying to defuse the C4 without knowing what they were doing. Sloane has tremendous courage. I don't care if you know that you're going to die if you don't; telling Jack to deliberately cut off his finger took real guts. Haladki became even more annoying and unreasonable. "Extraction teams R Us." Now he has both Vaughn and Weiss mad at him. They have good taste. And Will decided to go ahead and make a stand. This is SUCH a mistake. Bits and pieces: -- The scene where Cole just killed the SIS agent because he was upset with Sloane was very effective. A life, a good life, just gone. -- Alva Varden. Wasn't that the ship in one of the Lethal Weapon movies? -- All of this carrying on was about a tiny bottle of Rambaldi perfume? "Infinity. By Rambaldi." -- Marshall: "Hey. Sloane gave me the finger." -- Sydney: "Does anyone ever learn anything in seminars?" -- This week's itinerary was still pretty much the depths of SD-6, and the parking garage. Four out of four spies. Marvelous. Billie |
