amezriWatched Buffy. Was good - especially the end. Rewatched the Alias premiere and reviewed. Mmm.. Vaughn...
SPOILERS FOR ALIAS PREMIERE 2.01: THE ENEMY WALKS IN

First thing: the new intro. Not too crazy about it, but it's Eric, which some people are really hating (saw on one board that people hated the new voice over and wished it were Eric. LOL) I can live with it.. especially if Weiss is dead!! o_O (see below) *ahem* But this was a good premiere, sort of recapping all of last year and presenting all the characters for people who hadn't seen it.
I think the episode started back a bit too far, but that could just be because I spent all day watching the Alias marathon. Heh. But it was so creepy... Irina standing there telling Sydney that she could have prevented this by killing her when she was a baby. Obviously Syd didn't think her mother was going to hurt her because she make a snide remark about grounding that resulted in Irina shooting her in the shoulder. Escaping? Damn, she pulled quite a few MacGuyvers.
Ah, Will. Gotta love him. "Who's Vaughn?" Nosey even in his beat-up, confused state. And Will's reaction when Sydney told him all about SD-6: "Seriously?" *teehee*
Poor Dixon. He's so misguided. I wish someone would just fill him in.
I'm glad Daddy Bristow had a plan in regards to Will. This is why I like him - always thinking. *g* It's a damn good plan, too. Well... maybe not because Will has to be revealed as a heroine user. That was not fun.
The scenes with Sydney and Weiss were good. I liked that they could both express their frustration about how neither of them could find Vaughn. Plus, the fact they could even talk about their feelings.
Barnett's annoying. I really don't like her for some reason.
Holy frell, Khasinau's lab is gross! And Vaughn was transported to France, I see. Which.. er, okay, I guess. One thing about the Cap Ferrat mission.. how does the bullet wound not show in that dress?
Adrenaline!Vaughn! Action!Vaughn! That is all. *g*
Marshall! I love Marshall :) He's so fun and ranty. I always feel bad when Sloane yells at him.
Dumb luck. That's the only way I can explain how Sydney never (okay, seldom) gets caught and how she happens to see the guy from Taipei and how Vaughn is somehow coincidentally in Cap Ferrat in the basement of the place she is bugging.
Khasinau kicks her ass. Twice.
Hehehe. Delerious!Vaughn - sporting a nice tattoo. Very much melted when he said "Syd?" Oh shut up. It was cute. "Uh.. don't do that," he says groggily when she is about to jam the huge syringe of adrenaline into his chest. And of course, there is the Moment as they are fleeing.
Sydney is now automatically defending her concern for Vaughn. *hee* But poor Will. I really did feel bad for him, especially the part where he tells Jack that he's scared. I was actually afraid they were going to rough him up when they busted into the drug house. And it sucks that Francie thinks Will really is a druggie. *sigh* And, ew, Sloane. "I did it for you -- spared Will's life." Shut up, you slimy bastard. Sydney looked like she wanted to rip his arm right off.
I don't know much about heroine withdrawl.. but should he really be throwing up that much after one hit?
In regards to that bug killer in the lamp: wouldn't SD-6 try to figure out why their bugs weren't working? And if so, wouldn't they wonder why their agent was trying to kill their bugs? Hmm.. yeah.
Aww... moment in the warehouse with Vaughn as he tells Sydney how he escaped the flooded chamber. Interrupted by Jack and Weiss. *ahem*
Pier 347. 'Nother 47 thingy.
Awww... cute scene at the stakeout. I'm surprised Vaughn was that open with it. But, hey, good for us 'shippers. If Weiss dies, I will be pissed. Very, very pissed.
I'll say this again: Irina scares me to no end. If she were my mother, I'd piss myself everytime she came into the room. I don't trust her at all. And yes, she uses the incredible screwdriver to trick the trained CIA agents. I give her no points for shooting Khasinau and sparing Sydney. That just shows she's a conniving bitch.
I think Syd was.. well, at first I thought she was overly harsh to her father during the eulogy, but I guess it was fair. The last bit about her mother and what she would be like. Ugh, if Irinia turns out to also be a double agent, I might watch Angel on Sundays and tape Alias.
Geeky thing to note: Irina does the same hair tucking thing that Sydney does.
Quotage:
Barnett: And you did all this with a bullet in your shoulder?
Sydney: Do you not believe me?
Barnett: It's impressive.
Sydney: Not really. One thing I've learned doing this: there's no drug like adrenaline.
Will: Um, excuse me, did you just say you were shot by your mother?
Jack: Sit down!
Jack: You and I need to assume Dixon's reported you. The best move for us is for me to take full responsibilty.
Sydney: What about Will?
Jack: [to Will] You're going to have a hard time.
"There are times in life when we don't listen to our heart - to what we know to be true. In those moments, we've lost who we are, we've betrayed ourselves. Questioning your loyalty, your virtue, was one of those lost times for me." - Dixon
Vaughn: Ow. That hurt.
Sydney: I'm sorry.
Vaughn: Don't be. ... Where are we?
Sydney: France.
Vaughn: France? [dopey look] Really? [dopey smile] France!
Sydney: There's too much to explain. I have to get back before Dixon comes after me. You can get back to Los Angeles, right?
Vaughn: [big dopey grin]
Sydney: What?
Vaughn: You saved my life.
Sydney: See you in LA.
[Huge pause where they should have kissed but didn't. *grr*]
Jack: I can think of number of other ways, but they all involve your burial.
Will: Is that your idea of a joke? You're morbid, Jack.
"Of course, I loose my health insurance the same day I need a root canal." - Will Tippin
Will: Who is it? Just say good guys or bad guys, I'll understand.
Sydney: Good guys.
"When I was a kid, I was a swimmer. I could swim the 100 meter in 68 seconds. I can't tell you how irrelevant that was that night we were in Taipei. There have been some pretty incredible inventions over the last 2000 years, but none more incredible than the screwdriver. None." - Vaughn
Vaughn: So, hey, you know there's some really good restaurants in Barcelona.
Sydney: Yeah, I know.
Vaughn: Do you know what I was thinking?
Sydney: I think I do.
Vaughn: If we could actually be seen in public together, we could get the Bible and get a bite.
Weiss: Could the whole team come, 'cause we're starving.
"Truth takes time." - Irina
Will: You're eulogizing the bastard's wife?
Sydney: Yes.
Will: The Devil's wife? The wife of the guy who had Danny killed. The guy who wanted to kill me.
Sydney: Despite being married to a truly horrible man, Emily was a good person. And if the people who cared about her don't speak at her funeral because of him, there's no justice in that. It just makes him stronger.
