So, whatever, it's 72 hours earlier and now we're in Shanghai. Syd's in a disguise that's sort of a variation on the Chinese-schoolgirl-gone-wrong theme: black bobbed wig, black bra beneath a short white blouse that's open in the front, plaid skirt, knee-high black socks and black heeled Mary Janes. I actually like this outfit. And I know several of my ex-boyfriends who'd like it too. Which might be why they're ex-boyfriends.
Naughty Schoolgirl Syd's running through the streets of Shanghai, following some doof in a suit as "Cold Hard Bitch" by Jet plays over the soundtrack. Jennifer Garner has been working out, y'all. She looks damn good. And the team shooting this episode knows it, because the shots of her running go on for far too long, but she looks so good and the music's so rockin' that, really, it doesn't bother me that much. At first, it seems as if Sydney's chasing the doof, but it winds up that she's actually urging him on and sort of pointing out where he should be going. I never watched Felicity, but I'm told that the doof in the suit was on that show and that his name on the show was "Richard" and that, apparently, he was loved for being…well, a doof, actually. So I guess this role's appropriate. It's also yet another sign that Team Bad Robot hires and rehires people they dig. Which is nice.
