Point the first: I am back. I missed you all. I'll write a filtered post about the Minnesota experience later, I expect. At the moment I have three days of work to catch up on.

Point the second: It occurs to me that over time, the content of this journal has changed dramatically. If you have no idea why you're still reading my Alias (or academic) blatherings, feel free to unfriend me. I hereby declare that today is Unfriending Vanzetti Amnesty Day!

Point the third: Surely I am not the only one to note that the bottle Simon hands Sark in Alias 3x05 is not a claret bottle? In fact it doesn't look like a wine bottle at all, and is certainly not the famed '82. My money's on beer--possibly Belgian.

I noticed. I thought at first that it might be whiskey or bourbon or some other spiritous liquor but even badass Sark wouldn't chug the stuff like that. Belgian beer sounds about right. I even have a bottle in my fridge...

And wouldn't it be just like Simon? What a slut that boy is (was).

In further speculation, wanna bet that Sark knew, even as he burned Jack's ass to the little pit-bull photographer, that our mercenary hearthrob would be dead meat the minute he tried to pull anything on Black Jack Bristow? 'Bye, Si. We're done.

All these diversionary tactics are starting to pile up.

Glad you're back!

I agree. No doubt Sark got up close and personal with Jack's interrogation techniques in a controlled environment, over the last two years. He knew perfectly well that Jack would kill Simon. My new theory, in fact, is that Jack and Sark are working together. (Of course, I can't prove this. Yet.) Jack knew that his cover had been blown. My belief is that Jack never intended Simon to survive the meeting--he doesn't have the resources to hold him prisoner and interrogate him in a more leisurely fashion, so he has to kill him.

Plus, now that Sark's out of jail, it's time to get rid of Syd's other secret eurotrash boyfriends.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

aceofkittens, have I ever told you how much I look forward to your comments on Vanzetti's journal? Because I do. I really, really do.

"sayonara"...heheheheheh.

Thank you, KristenK2! :) I try to keep vaznetti on her toes. Lord knows, she gets too much love from the lurkers who support her in email. ;)

I don't know why it's such a big deal for people to friend and unfriend. There's upwards of 10 people on my list right now whose journal I haven't read in anywhere from 3 months to a year, and I certainly don't expect them to read my own banal blatherings. But if I unfriended them, there'd be all this psychodrama. Whatever.

Having said that, your flattery has inspired me to friend you. IF you don't friend me back, I will cry. So much. ;)

I worried about that for a long time with some people I wasn't reading anymore and who I doubt were reading me. Then I just went ahead and did it and...voila, no repercussions!

IF you don't friend me back, I will cry. So much. ;)

*pained sigh* Oh, if I must. I certainly don't want you to cry on my account. *g*

HA! Now you'll be stuck hearing all my blatherings and bitchfests!

[vaznetti]

Hmpf. Well, I feel loved and wanted now. ;->

Welcome back.

I'll not unfriend you if it's all the same, thankyouverymuch. I'll just keep going past your Alias blatherings, which is only fair in that I assume you do the same thing about my wrasslin' wramblin'.

[vaznetti]

I do occasionally click on one of your "wrasslin'" entries, but I get so confused so quickly that it's a pretty rare thing.

I'm glad you aren't unfriending me, though!

I hereby declare that today is Unfriending Vanzetti Amnesty Day!

I think we all have someone that we'd love to unfriend, but you're not that person, not yet. Even if the person I'd like to unfriend declared her own amnesty day, I still couldn't unfriend her since she's my beta's roommate. Nice gesture, though.

My money's on beer--possibly Belgian.

Good call. It's too small to be a magnum (as if Sark would drink any wine that came in a magnum bottle anyway) and it's *so* obviously not the '82. I found it humorous that so many people thought this was an example of consistency on the part of the writers.

The weird part about that scene was that I couldn't imagine Sark taking a swig from a bottle that a common thug handed to him. I would think that a bit more paranoia on Sark's part would be appropriate, although I'm sure that the writers were thinking of my malnourished fantasy life by giving me that image of hottie Sark guzzling booze. *fans self*

...and it's *so* obviously not the '82.

Too much time on Oxford and Cambridge has left me a wine snob. What they do to wine on that show is criminal. I'm sticking with beer--this is obviously Sark in his "football hooligan" persona. (As for taking the bottle from Simon in the first place... it's not the most unbelievable thing that's ever happened on Alias. I can suspend my disbelief in the face of that amount of sheer hotness.)
