1.22 Almost Thirty Years Weiss: "Trust is a tricky thing." Extremely dense episode. Let's take all of these developments one step at a time. It actually makes no sense that the Alliance would expect fidelity and also expect its members to kill people they love. Like Sydney continuing to work for SD-6 after Danny's death -- it makes no sense. Does Sloane have a plan? An anti-Alliance plan? Sloane rented a place that wouldn't be bugged so that he could tell Emily... what, exactly? And is she dead? She knew what was in the glass; did she die willingly for his sake? How can a man that ruthless truly love anyone? Will has guts and nerve. What a spy he would make. He had to be terrified, being tortured for information he didn't have, and he may have been genuinely weeping -- but he was thinking at the same time. And he got Chinese Torturer Guy! I loved him hugging Jack at the end; that was so cute. Things with Dixon were left up in the air. He knows she's not telling him everything. Will he take it all on trust? Am I surprised that Jack was capable of killing Haladki in cold blood? Not at all. Haladki was a traitor to his country who endangered Sydney's life. Haladki was working for Khasinau all this time. Vaughn was so attuned at Sydney that he knew she wasn't telling him something, just like last week when she knew he was keeping something back. Vaughn went to every place Sydney's ever told him she likes. That's love. And Vaughn has a conscience. He's a loyal, principled man. And he's cute, too. The water in the final moments was like a scene from "Titanic." Is Vaughn dead? Only if they don't renew his contract. Bits and pieces: -- The credits started at the beginning of the episode, after the "previously on." -- The circumference was in Room 47. -- Francie is opening a restaurant. -- Sark: "Do you feel comfortable trading priceless documents for a low grade reporter?" Jack: "You should read Tippin's stuff. It's not so bad." -- Why was Sark calling Sydney at home such a shocker? It's the mix of secret life and real life, bleeding into each other. -- Sark: "She has her mother's singing voice." Sark knows Mom. He works for Irina, "The Man," not for Khasinau. -- We came full circle this season; we opened with Chinese Torturer Guy and ended with him. -- This week's itinerary: Taipei again. What goes around comes around. -- This week's hot look: Loved that periwinkle blue hair and the outfit and collar she was wearing with it. Magenta hair in the pilot, blue hair in the season ender. What goes around magenta comes back periwinkle blue? Outstanding. Five out of four spies, Billie |
