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 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.

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*

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.)
