Alias season finale
 

Okay, I can't be the only GCer addicted to Alias. I've watched every darned ep ever aired, preordered the Season 1 DVD, the whole enchilada. I stayed up half the freaking night to see the post-Super Bowl episode. Now, having said all that:


WHAT JUST HAPPENED TO MY SHOW????????????????????????

THAT JUST DID NOT HAPPEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JJ, you've got some 'plainin to do!

Christin

Talk about a shocking season finale! What the h*ll are they going to do next season?!

Alias is my favorite show too!

It's a dream sequence?

It's brainwashing?

It's all Sloane's fault?

Vaughn's really not married? (please, oh please!)

Will's still quite alive?

FauxFrallison is quite dead?

What the heck WAS that scar on Syd's stomach?

Mom's good? Mom's bad? Mom knows too much?

Sark has a heart? (that was a major WTF moment for me!)

...and that's just the start!


Christin

I am SO BOTHERED by that ending, I had nightmares all night!

Here's my take on it tho-- It has something to do with the Rimbaldi device. Somehow that thing must be able to manipulate time/brainwash. I'm thinking Syd is unconscious and Sloane is feeding this information to her--info that is essentially her worst fears confirmed.

I can't believe we have to wait like 5 months to see what happens!!! I hate cliffhangers!!!!

I'm thinking Sloane has to be involved, too. Remember the bit about how he just point-blank told SpyDaddy that he would be working with him again (and that insanity about their friendship, I was like, WTF with that? Sloane's gone even more stark raving mad!) Well, I think Sloane got to Syd first, and has been somehow manipulating whatever had been happening with Syd to control Jack in some manner. Sloane knows Jack's weakness, it's Sydney.

Question is--how the heck does Irina fit into all this? AND WHAT THE HECK IS WITH VAUGHN WEARING A RING? It darned well better be Syd's ring, I'm tell ya'll right now!

Loved, loved, loved both Marshall and Weiss in this ep. Same goes for Sark. "My loyalties are flexible." O...M...G... It's almost sinful that David Anders is still just a baby, sigh...

TWoP has this scary-brilliant Alice In Wonderland/Through the Looking Glass theory going on. I'm still too dazed by Willage with the rifle and the FauxFrallison instead of FauxFranna AND the kickbutt Syd/Faux fight...

Christin

Well, last week Sloane got the Prophecy from that Monk in Tibet--remember? The CIA was going nuts because something catostrophic was supposed to happen at X hour, and they thought nothing happened--but X hour was when Sloane received that document....

I'm thinking Vaughn's ring is NOT Syd's. She's been missing and presumed dead for two years...

What was with that scar on her abdomen? C-section scar???

I am hoping its all a nightmare Sydney is having while unconscious--but I know its not, that's too cliched. I just can't stand the thought of Vaughn married to someone else! Gave me nightmares last night, only I was Syd and Mr. Amycat was Vaughn and married to someone else! NO NO NO NO NO.

I'm going to wait it out. Even if Michael Vartan is this month's "Bordeaux Beau" for the GC Alpha Phis ;), I was never a huge Sydney/Vaughn fan. I always thought Syd should have been with Will.

But how COOL was the fight between Syd and FauxFrancie? I seriously hope that this doesn't mean that Merrin Dungey's time with the show is over!

I can't wait until September!

Yeah, but he's legal. That's all that matters. Woof. ;)

And re: Willage and the rifle: I guess he learned how to handle a shotgun during his brief stint as a heroin addict. That was the one thing in last night's finale that had me :rolleyes:

i havne't been watching lately but i just got an update and I am not happy. please tell me that everything that happened really didn't...

I never had a C-section, so I don't know. I'd think a C-section scar would be much cleaner/neater than that was? Anyone here ever have one?

Sorry, it happened. I wish I could tell you otherwise, but...

If you need help pulling in a copy, LMK. The alt.tv.alias ng is full of ep d/l tips. If you didn't see 2x21 and 2x22, find a copy and watch them.

I've been repeating another bit over and over today (nah, I'm not an Alias addict, I'm not!) The last ep of season 1 was "Almost Thirty Years." When Vaughn told Sydney that she'd been missing Almost Two Years, it just jumped out at me. I wonder if it means anything, or just a strange coincidence?

Christin

My sister has a C Section scar. It's only about an inch to 2 inches long and it's clean and tidy.

OK, here's a thought--

The cloning crew were saying at some point last night they were rebuilding the power to duplicate people...

So...

What if it IS NOT 2 years ahead?

What is its like 2 WEEKS after the catfight, and the Vaughn that showed up at the safe house is evil clone Vaughn, not lover boy Vaughn, and the ring and the "you've been missing for two years, we thought you were dead" things are all a mind fuck by Sloane/Sark?

Cause you've got to think that if Syd was missing, the Alliance had something to do with it, which would mean SpyMama would know about it and would not let it happen w/o her keeping an eye on Syd. And I don't think SpyMama would let SpyDaddy or SpyBoyfriend go on thinking their beloved was dead/marry someone else.

I swear, my heart was POUNDING during the last 10 minutes of that episode. Thank goodness Syd gave fakeFrancie a good pounding. That b*tch needed one! And damnit, a ring on his finger! NO!

I don't even want to second guess the new storyline, but it will be good...I can't believe we are going to have to wait so long for it though! ARGH!

Sark, evil yet strangely sexy. Your thoughts?

i agree, tho I can't get past the fact that he's only 22. He looks it too, whereas Heath Ledger, has an older air about him. :) (Plus Heath seems to prefer women my age, that doesn't hurt!)


I taped the episode last night, I know I'm gonna have to watch it a few times, but I am SO DISTURBED by those last 2 minutes, they've been haunting me all day.

He's no Michael Vartan, but Oh YEAH! I think he looks much older than 22. I just about passed out to learn he was so young. Then when I found out he was from OREGON you could have knocked me out. I mean, I really bought the accent and all. I thought he was British.

Christin

Gosh, it never even occured to me that it might be a C-section scar. I was thinking that she was implanted with some sort of Rimbaldi device or something that was allowing Sloane/Sark/Someone bad to control her.

The one thing that really freaked me out during this episode was the look on FauxFrancie's face in the last scene before Syd passed out. Her eyes were wierd, and the bullets just looked... wierd. It was disconcerting. Anyone else notice that?

That's NOT a c-section scar. I've had one and it's much....um lower ;) . I couldn't just lift my shirt and show it. :eek:

The ending triped me out too but I'm not up to date on all the episodes so I was really lost.

Exactly. That's definitly not a C-section scar. My mother had 2 C-sections, and I've seen her scar. And toocute is right, you just can't lift your shirt and show it. I'm thinking one of her organs has been removed, maybe a kidney or liver. Not sure. Or they have put something into her body.

Maybe this Rimbaldi (sp?) device is some sort of time machine?

It might be. We've been led to believe that Rambaldi knew all of this technical stuff that just wasn't around in his day. I hope they don't lame into some time-travel travesty, or I'll be screaming while I destroy my TV.

I'm trying to figure out how the ep title "The Telling" ties into everything. What exactly WAS "The Telling"??? Was it Sloane telling Jack how things were going to be? Was it the discovery of the FauxFrallison and the fallout from that? Was it SpyMommy telling Syd that it was Syd pictured on Page 47 and so on? Was it Vaughn telling Syd it's been almost two years...no, I can't let go of that one!

Since Syd has already seen that Mount Velasco or whatever the heck it's name was in the Prophecy, we'd think there was no way it could be Syd's picture. Remember, whoever it was had never seen the beauty of his mountain? I know, I'm rambling again...

Christin

Maybe Sydney has an identical twin?

My money's still on Sark in the sibling theories. Just wait and see on that one.

Who else is starting to count down the number of days until Alias premieres????


22 days and counting (really, 23 here in CA, but in Florida it's 22! ;) )

I'm counting! :)

i cant wait... i have been longing for it to come all summer. my mom and me are just in love with this tv show, even thought we are on opposite sides of the state my mom and i always talk on the phone through out the show (well at the commercials) and discuss what is happening. oh boy do i want the season 1 dvd. this season better be good, and they better not mess up this show!!!

ps- can any one believe that syd and vaughn in real life are an item (cant remember their real names!)

Michael Vartan and Jennifer Garner

I want the Season 1 DVD, too...I've already told my mom that it's the ONLY thing I want for Christmas :D

I think this season's going to be interesting (not that the entire show isn't!) to see how the finale plays out....especially now that there's a huge love triangle :)

I think it's pretty cool that Jennifer and Michael are seeing each other in real life...it just seems really quick after her separating from her ex-husband

I want the Season 1 and soon-to-come Season 2 sets. We just got one of those Digital TV Recorders through the cable company, and Alias is already programmed in for complete recording.

Amee--there are some people who believe that JJ has already messed up the show, but it'll be fun watching how he resolves that darned cliff-hanger! Almost Two Years, indeed!

Christin
(Did ya'll hear the horrible news story about the pizza delivery guy with the bomb strapped to him last week? If so, did it remind you of Olivia D'Abo's guest shot last season?)

Ok when does the new season start? I haven't been watching any TV, work started this week and so did classes. I also hate reality TV...except Queer Eye, but that is SO different.

I can't wait! Michael Vartan is dreamy...and he speaks fluent French! My perfect man!:D

Hahaha, I've never watched Alias so I was wondering if I'd be able to make sense out of this thread.

I can't. ;)

Season premiere is set for September 28....22 days away! :)

Haha, I've never seen Alias, either, but I understand it because my friend is an Alias FREAK and she convinced me to start watching the show. So, to catch up, I've been reading the TWOP recaps. (I think I only have 3 more to go in the second season...I guess I have to finish by September 28th!)

HAHAH!!! Donielle, would you by chance be talking about me????

I was lurking after being gone from GC forrrrevvvverrrr, and lo and behold, I find an Alias thread! yay!

Ok, thats all. Two weeks till the premiere! Buy the season 1 dvds! [/end Alias pimping] :D

Hahaha! Jen, yes, I was talking about you. You're too much. :D

my money is on her cheating

who else is super excited about the premiere next sunday?!?

Oh, that'd be me! Already planning on watching it right before going to bed early for school the next day :)

I most definitely am. I didn't get into Alias until recently through a friend. She has the season one DVD so I'll borrow it from her..haha. I'll have to reserve a day so that I can watch the DVD from start to end. And Michael Vartan is sooooo dreamy. He was pretty good in the movie "Mists of Avalon" if anyone is a Marion Zimmerman Bradley fan. It was a TV movie but I rented it at Blockbuster. He plays Lancelot.
