Chit's not picking up so I shall rave to my blog. Alias 311 is brilliant! OK the TWOP people didn't find it particularly brilliant - Regina gave it a B- and the general populace gave it a B+. But actually grades like that aren't bad. Everyone thought A Missing Link was amazing and it got a B+ from Regina and a B from the rest. So yeah, well, I'm quite justified in saying that Full Disclosure is brilliant.
Sydney erased her own memory!
Dixon knew about it cos when Sydney called Kendall from Rome, Kendall told Dixon but Dixon was to tell noone and not even tell Sydney that he knew about her two years, because before Sydney got her memory erased, she sent a vcd to Kendall in which she pleaded that if she survived the memory-erasing process, she didn't want to know what she'd been through. And then it's like when Sydney kept the truth about SD-6 from Dixon, very cool.
But it's quite amazing - not only did the memory erasure not kill her, but it was so precise that it was exactly up till the day the Covenant kidnapped her.
JJ Abrams is one cool guy. His brain works in really really strange ways.
The whole thing - free will issues. And she's like a willing victim, which is quite an oxymoron or atleast an irony. And it's bloody cool - she orchestrated the whole thing herself, although the missingness was initiated by the Covenant. And now the Covenant's got Lazarey and the cube, and are there gonna be mini-Sydney/Rambaldis running around? Heee.
If only we could have a little bit of Irina again, that would be the icing on the cake. But Lena Olin's gotta be a bitch about it. Maybe they could find some extra footage from season 2, and somehow weave it in so we still get to see a little bit of Irina footage that WE HAVEN'T SEEN BEFORE.
OOH and I almost forgot! When the CIA people are being briefed about going to find the cube, it's like Vaughn realises that there might in the near future be mini-Sydneys that are NOT mini-Vaughns, and he gets this super-serious look on his face, not that that's a very uncommon look for Vaughn of late. And Sydney also keeps looking at him, although this might also be because he's been really stand-offish towards her of late, because of Jack's little pep talk in the prison van. And then Weiss goes like "What's going on between you too?" Hee. Maybe this'll make Vaughn realise that he wants to be the only one to fertilise Syd's eggs. Double hee.
Haha Alias makes me sound like such a bimbo! Crossing's got a terrible review though - D. Apparently supremely boring. However, I'm curious to see what Isabella Rossellini's up to. And whether the casting department's got back ANY of their lost magic.
