1.7 Color-Blind Shepard: "I feel like I've been stolen from myself." Oh, goody. More torture. This episode was sort of fascinating, with the color blindness and programming and yet more torture. The escape from the asylum was cool, too. I felt like I missed the beginning of the Shepard story, though. Why would SD-6 go to all the trouble of programming an assassin? Total secrecy? And the programming broke down; wouldn't SD-6 know about that? It seems unlikely, but hey. Moving right along... it was indeed moving for Sydney to discover that poor, unwitting Shepard was Danny's killer, and John Hannah was just wonderful in the part. How could she hate Shepard, when it wasn't his fault? At least she now has a teeny bit of closure. It will have to hold her until she brings down SD-6. On the parental issues front, Jack and Sydney got a little closer. He proved to her that he had never been KGB, and in exchange, she gave him Thanksgiving leftovers. It's a start. Eloise Kurtz is dead, which is not exactly a surprise. Will got the go ahead on the story, just when he was once again ready to bag it. If Sydney knew what he was doing, she'd go absolutely nuts. The Thanksgiving party and Charlie proposing to Francie just seemed like it didn't fit, somehow. (Don't do it, Francie! I don't trust him!) And what the hell was Will doing with Jenny, who was so young she was carded buying wine? Having her there made Sydney look like a fifth wheel. But if Will is involved with little Jenny, it clears the way for Vaughn, who is definitely getting emotionally involved with Sydney. Plus he broke up with Alice and spent Thanksgiving with his mom. Hmmm. Bits and pieces: -- Jack and Vaughn met for the first time. Jack was clearly unhappy about the file Vaughn pulled to show Sydney. Not the way to impress your prospective honey's father, Vaughn. -- Someone named Cretchmer is Jack's handler? -- Jennifer Garner even looks good when she's crazy. -- Sloane: "I believe in her as if she were my own daughter." Does he, really? That sounded creepy, somehow, like maybe Sydney is his own daughter. What if he finds out she's a mole? -- Marshall: "You want to stretch out? I can inflate the couch." -- This week's itinerary: Mostly Romania, or whatever part of Los Angeles stood in for it. -- This week's Rambaldi: Something in Tunisia? Tune in next week? Three out of four spies, Billie |
