Ten Things I Learned While Watching Alias:
- Vaughn still loves Syd.
- Melissa George has not been instructed as to just what country she's from; otherwise, what's up with the crap-o-licious accent?
- Kevin Weisman can play drums, but that's still no reason to have him DO IT ON THE SHOW FOR NO GODDAMN REASON.
- Merrin Dungey is pretty, but not when she's wearing hideous blue eyeshadow.
- With every episode, we get further and further from the truth about Sydney's Lost Years instead of closer, which is REALLY ANNOYING.
- You can get shot three times, twice in the chest, and still live to tell about it.
- Sloane's addicted to Rambaldi Love Juice.
- Michael Vartan looks really good in standard-issue blue boxers.
- No matter how hard they try, no matter how many secret missions they send her on, no matter how close she gets to finding out that Syd killed Lazaranapietref, the character of Lauren Reed is STILL annoying and unnecessary.
- Victor Garber is apparently no longer on the show, because three seconds of screen time does not a compelling character make.
We open on a scene from 10, with Bo Derek bouncing her way down…hey, wait a minute! That's Syd! Jogging through some random Hell-Lay park, and wow, her boobs are bouncy! They're so bouncy that they're bouncing in perfect time to the Jet tune playing over Syd's iPod. She comes to a halt at some point, her breasts obviously needing a minute or two to regain their elasticity. Syd? I have three words for you: Middle-Aged Hang. Okay? I'm 34, and if I ever ran like you do, my boobs would be down to my knees by now. I'm just sayin', a good sports bra ain't hard to find, mmm-kay?
Syd bends over a drinking fountain, but before she can grab a drop, we hear Sloane saying, "Hello, Sydney." Okay, A) why's he not back in Zurich and B) DON'T DRINK FROM PUBLIC WATER FOUNTAINS. Just don't. Trust me on this. Syd looks up all, what in the hell do you want, Satan Sloane? Sloane, holding his own personal water bottle, just moves toward Syd and tells her that the Covenant is about to make a move. Syd's like, uh, dude? Pass your intel through my ex-boyfriend's wife, okay? That's protocol. Sloane just looks at Syd and is like, yeah, well, she's able and all, but there's no way in hell she can understand what it's like to serve two masters simultaneously. Okay, that SO doesn't sound right. Even paraphrased.
