You may freak out now.Oh, boy. And with 5 minutes until show time, I actually wasn't certain if I was going to watch or not. I've been tempted to check out "Revelations" on NBC. The God/Satan aspect has me interested.

But a "HUGE" episode, huh? All right, Fone. You've convinced me. Alias it is.

2 Sloanes= WTF?

So does this mean APO's Sloane is really good? They really choose a great actor for the Sloan B. I was thinking to myself for the last 10 secs of the show "Isn't that just Sloane? What's with the dramatic music?" Then BAM, it hit me. Also, they really need to explain Jack's exposure to the radiation and why he isn't showing any symptoms. But this is Alias, and I'm sure they have some huge twist behind that...

Great episode. Alias is back. *****

2 Sloanes= WTF?

So does this mean APO's Sloane is really good? Yeah. But then APO's Sloane was bad during the first couple seasons. But this is definitely interesting. I'm guessing Sloane B, as you called him, was the one who set up Vaughn. But which one set up Irena? Or are they working together? And, I'm still wondering how Jack factors into things. I still can't get a feel for what's going on with him and Sloane (the APO one). They don't appear to like or trust one another, but they're involved in something together, aren't they?

Alias! Alias! Alias! Whoo hoo!

Best episode this year. No contest. Man, Vaughn had me worried there. I am also glad that he was NEVER going to kiss that girl (damn you ABC and your lying promos!) Big problem: He COULDN'T have known Dixon was DEFINATELY going to be wearing a bullet-proof vest, could he? He risked killing his friend. IF Dixon recognizes it was him he could be in big trouble. At the very least Dixon may never trust him again. It was also confirmed that Vaughn's father IS definately dead. Good. I couldn't really stand the thought of Vaughn's father being a traitor. Good that he was able to recognize it for a lie.

I kept thinking that Joel Grey would be playing Vaughn's father, but ANOTHER Arvin Sloane? And apparantly the mastermind of all the crap that's gone on this year? Wow. He looks a LOT like him so I'm guessing they're related. I had no idea it would be SLOANE'S family tree that was exposed.:D

I LOVE Marshall looking out for Jack. Jack IS in big trouble but he has the best character on the show watching his back.

And AWWWW! Irina NEVER tried to kill Syd! Poor Jack killed her for no reason. He looks to be MAJOR pissed at Sloane next week. MAJOR
I also heard from TV Guide that Lena Olin will be back on the season finale as Irina. I have no clue how they will bring her back from the dead but since we never saw her body it shouldn't be too difficult. It WILL lessen the impact of Jack having killed her for the wrong reason but hopefully the appearance will be good enough to make up for that.

I love Katya for some reason. I'm glad she set Syd straight.

A terrific episode and next week looks even better. *****.

Big problem: He COULDN'T have known Dixon was DEFINATELY going to be wearing a bullet-proof vest, could he? He risked killing his friend. My impression was he fired quickly to save himself, not registering it was Dixon until after he'd done so. But anyway, Dixon wouldn't be inconsistent when it comes to wearing a vest, right? If he's in the habit of wearing one, Vaughn would know (I would think), since he knows Dixon.

Oh, and you know what's interesting. If Sloane (whichever one) set up Irina, then that could let Jack off the hook in Nadia's eyes. She doesn't know yet that Jack killed her mother, but I've been assuming eventually she'd find out and that she'd want him dead, ending her friendship with Syd. However, if Sloane's behind it, that would take some of the blame off Jack, presumably. So that could cement her against her father and keep her on Syd's side. Of course, if your spoiler above is true that changes everything.

And I agree, best episode of the season thus far. So how many more do we have this season?

If he's in the habit of wearing one, Vaughn would know (I would think), since he knows Dixon. You're right. He probably didn't realize it was Dixon until after he went down. This could still strain their friendship though.

Of course, if your spoiler above is true that changes everything. Yeah, this pretty much lets Jack off the hook. J.J. Abrams said that this season (minor) Nadia WOULD find out Jack killed Irina and wouldn't be too happy about it. I predict that if it DOES happen it will probably happen next week.


And I agree, best episode of the season thus far. So how many more do we have this season?Seven including the 90 minute season finale.

And am I the only one pissed off at TV Guide for revealing Alias and Lost spoilers without ANY sort of warning? Jeez, I would have liked to have found out those two facts for myself.
