Creepy Dude wants it and he wants it bad. He'll give Jack whatever he wants to get it so that he can turn it into his screensaver or something. Guh. Jack wants the protocol for contacting Sasha. Creepy Dude's all, NO! NOT THAT! Jack's all, okay, no protocol, no porn. He starts to take away the movie and Creepy Dude twitches and hems and haws and finally gives up the protocol. The guy playing Creepy Dude is awesome, by the way. He's greasy-with-a-z. He's greeeeezy. For some reason, this is the spot where the powers that be decide to stick in the opening credits. Yeah. I don't think this bodes well for the remainder of the episode.
And now is the time on Alias when we go to the kitchen to get more heroin.
Oh, god. Oh, no. There's…why is there a movie of Marshall's son showing on my TV? And it has…there's that music from 2001: A Space Odyssey playing and…I can't watch this. Can I fast-forward through this? Do you mind? Oh, it's over. But…now Syd and Marshall are discussing how edible little Mitchell's legs are and how Marshall's taken many a chomp and TALKING ABOUT EATING BABIES IS NEVER OKAY. Unless you're Eddie Izzard and then it's hilarious.
Moving on to the Salzburg trip, Marshall says that according to the memory chip from Cliff, Sasha's storing the targeting system or whatever in the basement of a disco that he owns. "Which officially begs the question: what is it with these guys and nightclubs?" says Marshall, clearly speaking for everyone in the audience. Heh. We switch quickly to Sasha's club in Salzburg. It's less of a disco and more of a ski chalet. Syd's looking around as if she's lost. We switch back to Marshall, who's explaining that the security system of the place is based on access cards and she'll need to steal one from a nightclub staff member. Back in Salzburg, Syd searches the place for a viable target. Finally, she sees a cute guy across the way who's speaking to someone in German. Several posters pointed out that this guy is Jason Segel and he was on Freaks and Geeks, but I regretfully only saw one damn episode of that show before it was yanked, so I had no idea who he was. However, seeing as I found his entire storyline more than annoying, it's probably best that I didn't know who he was. ["He also played Eric on Undeclared, which…man. Briiiiiilliant. Is that out on DVD yet? And if not, why not?" -- Sars]
