3.13 After Six Sydney: "Have you ever felt that someone's your soul mate?" This one was so much fun: lots of plot development, and a decidedly romantic theme, with couples all over the place. Let's see -- we had Sydney and Vaughn with the romantic confusion and Jack's attempts to keep them apart; Marshall and Carrie's comic relief wedding; Sloane with, of all people, the shrink Dr. Barnett; and finally, Lauren and her obvious soul mate, Sark. Lauren and Sark are both cute, blonde, and ruthless; they're made for each other. Lauren's seduction of the first cell leader intimated that she'd already had sex with him. And her smile after she killed him -- she actually enjoyed stabbing that guy. This is the first time we've seen her being completely evil. I guess it isn't surprising that Barnett has a thing for Sloane. He is certainly a personality that would interest a shrink, and she has studied him, after all. The character of Toni Cummings (Viveca A. Fox) was introduced. I thought her coldness toward what she thought were exploitative white South Africans made it appear that she has a social conscience. So: not completely a bad guy. We learned here that Quentin Tarantino was the man behind the man in charge of the Covenant. Is Cole truly the big boss? Did Lauren get him out of U.S. custody? Finally, what the hell was that green crap that Sloane injected himself with? And what is his big secret? The implication is that Sydney is his daughter, but I just don't believe it. Bits and pieces: -- "After Six." As in after dinner mints? Or as in six dead cell leaders? -- How did they get up the electrical tunnel? -- I couldn't help but contrast the casual dinner Jack and Sydney had here, and the way he stood her up in season one. -- Sark: "You know, you're unbelievably good." and "A woman after my own heart." -- Weiss: "However, I did have the same intense feelings for both Sporty and Posh Spice." :) -- Marshall: "I love you, Mrs. Flinkman!" Carrie: "I'm keeping my name!" -- This week's itinerary: that incredible chalet in Chamonix, plus Zurich, Berlin, Athens, Salzberg, and St. Petersburg. -- This week's hot look: Sydney and Weiss' matching tiger stripes. :) Two out of four spies, Billie |
