And yet another thought about Arvin Sloane: he's an effective leader. I'd be tempted to say, "organizational genius," in fact. In the very first episode, Jack tells Sydney that the Alliance was formed "about ten years ago"; Sydney was recruited to SD-6 seven years ago. Which means that in three years, or even less if he wasn't one of the founding members of the Alliance, Sloane built an organization which could deceive some very intelligent people. Most of the original recruiting must have been done personally, by him, which also indicates that he's very good at spotting talent and putting it to use.

If this time-scale is correct, it also indicates that Sloane's interest in Rambaldi pre-dates his departure from the CIA. I think I had assumed that in any case, but I wonder if it was his interest in Rambaldi which brought him into contact with the Alliance; the fact that he's not on the "inner council" indicates to me that Sloane wasn't a founding member of the Alliance.

This may all be blindingly obvious to everyone but me.

And where the hell, by the way, did the NSA get two dozen Rambaldi artifacts (vide The Telling)? Not simply in the course of the struggle with SD-6, surely.

I've been questioning this as well. Remember beginning of season one? K-Directorate had been after Rambaldi artifacts, too. And K-Directorate was not destroyed like FTL was, was it? And so it still should be in posession of some of the artifacts.

Well, remember that the artifacts which were the focus of the S2 finale were only the 47 pieces necessary for Il Dire; there might well be a mess of other Rambalsi aritifacts, which are off in K-Directorate warehouses.

And speaking of K-Directorate, whatever happed to Anna Espinosa, anyway? (I've just misspelled that, haven't I?)

*facepalm* Ah, you're right! That's what happens when you overanalyze.

whatever happed to Anna Espinosa, anyway? (I've just misspelled that, haven't I?

That's a million dollar question I'm afraid and the answer I'll offer is: She left to fly on a space ship called Firefly. *g* Or live in a city deep in the bowels of the Earth. And you spelled it right.

Perhaps with Sark's assasination of the K-Directorate leader, there were some changes administered in the organization. Perhaps Anna wasn't happy with them. I know one thing - there would be a girly scream of happiness if she ever came back.
