Alias spoilers
I missed the first ten minutes due to the longest Kol Nidre services in history.
Sorry, Sydney. If you want bad guys to answer your questions, you have to stop killing them as soon as you see them. Just a friendly hint.
As I said, I missed the first ten minutes--but I gather that it was all just set-up stuff.
But pretty soon it was Sark, mocking Sydney. How amusing was that? How much did I like the fact that he's still in Irina's cell? How happy was I to see him? Yeah.
For the record, I like the new hair. In action, it looked good. His accent was different as well--it sounded marginally more natural to my ear, in the prison scene.
Sadly, I missed some of his dialogue in later scenes, because my darling husband was criticizing the treatment of the '82. For the record, a wine like that should be decanted first, or at least allowed to breathe a little.
Me: Be quiet--I want to hear this scene. I'm sure Mr. Sark agrees with you.
Him: You notice he isn't drinking it yet.
The abuse of good wines on this show is in fact criminal.
OK. Hair good, descent from Russian royalty bad. Don't get me started on this kind of thing. (By the way, did Sark know who his father was? When does he find out that Syd killed him? And given that the Consortium--or whatever they're called, I have too many secret agencies in my head--set the whole thing up, can I vote for Syd and Sark getting together to bring them down at the end of the season.)
But the Russian connection is something I can live with.
And you know, he wants to know whether Allison made it or not. Just saying.
And Jack and Irina! "Miss you." "Miss you too." The B.H. and I have email exchanges like that. Their love is so... it just is. I love the fact that even without LO onscreen, they aren't ignoring Irina.
And Jack and Sloane, to make my love-triangle complete. (What, you thought I cared about Syd/Vaughn/Reed? The B.H. fears that the Syd-Vaughn thing will become like Ally McBeal. I live in fear, I admit. They've already started the earnest, longing glances.) I love the two of them together. I really do.
So in summation, it's all about Sark. And Jack and Irina and Sloane. What, there are other characters on this show?
That was less coherent than it might have been. Perhaps I'll be better tomorrow or the next day.

I totally squee'd watching the Syd/Sark cell conversation when he glanced away and said "If it wasn't your body they removed from the ashes, whose was it?" Cause he? Was so trying to ask about Allison without asking. *sighs all dreamy-like*

No. There aren't. Who told you otherwise?

Damn right. LOL. I'm taking my little bone and enjoying it. *Twitches in nervous anticipation.*
Still not liking the Romanov connection. Just no. Russian? Sure. The hair however is the source of many interesting thoughts. LOL.
no subject
Me too. In fact I'd assumed that he was Russian for a very long time anyway, because he hung out with Irina and I'd assumed that most of her henchman would be. Also, it never occurred to me that his accent was supposed to be English until various Americans informed me of the fact. :-)
My eyes are rolling over the Romanov connection though. Sheesh. He couldn't just have been the spoiled and pampered son of the Russian new royalty, the mafia? Let's just hope that he hasn't inherited that rumoured Romanov haemophiliac gene though, as it could be a trifle inconvenient in his line of work.
He's worried about Allison? Awww. That's so sweet.

I meant to ask the B.H. about that and forgot--he was too busy complaining about the wine. I'm a terrible judge of accents, so his never sounded that bad to me: not that it sounded like anyone's real accent, but I didn't think it was supposed to be his real accent either. It just sounds "learned" to my ear. I've enoucntered people with that kind of accent in the past; usually, they're trying to hide something.
Watch me ignore the Romanov connection. Seriously. May it never be mentioned again.
no subject
A perfectly understandable reaction, of course. :-)

Yes, I definitely think he was aiming for a cultured accent. Beyond that... it never really triggered anything identifiable to my ear, so I guess I just pigeonholed it as neutral, a deliberate blurring of many influences, aiming for something that wasn't immediately identifiable. The kind of accent of someone who's well travelled, and hasn't stayed anywhere too long to put down roots. And you're probably right about the hiding something bit.
Mmm. Must get back to my DVDs. But while I had a nice weekend, it was tiring, so I'm probably aiming for an early night tonight instead.
