2.10 The Abduction Sloane: "That's why you're going in with Marshall." Marshall: "Marshall who?" This was Marshall's episode, and it was long overdue. He was very cute throughout, I must admit -- the bad British accent, the parachute in his jacket, telling Sydney he loved her while under the influence. But poor baby! Seeing Sark in the torture chair didn't bother me much, but Marshall? It was like watching them torture a Muppet Baby. Sydney is completely under Irina's spell now, isn't she? ("I was a fool to think that any ideology could come before my daughter." Wow, she's convincing.) And now Irina is working on Jack. Isn't it interesting that they're still married? I was wondering about that. Jack believes that Irina's scheme is a long-term one, and that Sark is in on it with her. Jack's a sharp guy; he may be right. Sloane has set Faye Dunaway to catch his blackmailer, and she's zeroed in on Jack. So who is blackmailing Sloane? It isn't Jack, is it? Or is Ariana/Faye just picking up double agent vibes? (And was Jack actually flirting with her, or was it business? Hmmmmm?) On the home front, Will has, understandably, become Sydney's confidant, and they're inadvertently closing out Francie. I'm sure Will can pass that psych test; he seems to have taken the complete implosion of his entire life with such aplomb. Very funny that he had to take the test at the post office. Bits and pieces: -- Syd went on a mission with Sark, and then with Marshall. Not her usual partners. Where is Dixon, by the way? -- When Marshall gave Sydney that camera, I thought it was a listening device and that Sydney and Sark had given away the assassination attempt on Sloane. -- That bar scene with Vaughn, Alice, Will, and "Rita" was very intriguing. Lots of jealous vibes going on there. -- Sark said, of Irina: "In some ways, I think of her as a mother, myself." Was that a hint? You don't suppose Sark is a member of super spy family, too? -- Ariana: "Men always call women crazy when they're caught with their pants down." -- Sark looked very French in that gendarme's outfit. -- The opening credits get later every week, which I find amusing. This time, they were nearly twenty minutes into the episode, which I believe is an "Alias" record. -- This week's itinerary: Paris and London. -- This week's hot look: an auburn do and formal black dress. -- This week's unexpected language skill: Marshall speaking Ewok. Pretty good. Two out of four spies, Billie |
