Then Syd grabs a champagne bottle and goes to work on Useless. There are plenty of kicks and hits and whatnot, and the only time I notice that it ain't Jennifer Garner doing the legwork is right at the end, when the person who steps in to do the full-body spinning high kick somehow has a very dark wig on that doesn't even remotely resemble Jenny's chignon. So, like, Jennifer Garner kicks ass in this scene, except for the last part where someone else does.
Then there's the "click" of a gun, and Syd spins around. Fat Guy's regained consciousness, and he's none too happy about gettin' no lovin'. He exits the bedroom with his gun, and shoots. As soon as the bullet exits the chamber, we go to black, only to be hit with the Alias title card. Then there are some grinding guitars and Lenny Kravitz starts moaning about his "American Woman." Look. I like Lenny Kravitz and all, but -- dudes? Been. Done. Before. Couldn't the music dudes dig through the stacks of records for, say, something new and unusual and, oh, I don't know, RELEASED AFTER 1999?
Hell-Lay. The titles inform us that it's now twenty-four hours earlier. Oh. How very Seinfeld of them. Syd's running through the park in her sexier-than-lingerie running outfit. She dumps her coin in the bum's cup, thereby signaling the boys inside Oops Center that she's on her way.
Oops Center. Oh, by the way, in case the Stupor Boys are confused, the Alias crew runs "CIA Operations Center" across the bottom of the screen; you know, just to be safe. Just to let all the people out there who normally wouldn't be watching this kick-ass show know where we are.
Syd and Vaughn stalk down a hallway together. Syd's all, okay, so what's the new intel? Vaughn's all, dunno, Kendall wanted to wait 'til we were all together. Then Syd's all, right, so, I was runnin' through the park, minding my own business, and, like, there are tons of people just playing Frisbee and having picnics! What's THAT all about? Vaughn's all, yeah! In the middle of the DAY! The hell? It's called "unemployment," kids. I suggest you learn about it. Because later? After you've "debriefed" each other in the naughtiest way? Yeah. You might become very familiar with the Office of Employment Security, okay?
Then Syd's all, yeah! In the middle of the day! Hanging out! I think this is supposed to suggest a familiarity between Syd and Vaughn that people out there who haven't watched the show in FOREVER should clue into. Get it? They're not just colleagues! They're friends! See? They shoot the shit about aimless unemployed people! They're SO into each other!
