Cricket and Alias

[vaznetti]

It's a funny thing, but as the summer progresses and my admiration for Michael Vaughan (who is totally my imaginary cricket star boyfriend, OK) grows ever greater, I also feel a slight softening toward Michael Vaughn; I'm willing to allow that he may not be a complete waste of space, and I'm even slightly interested in his big secret identity plotline. Mostly, though, I really really really want England to win back the Ashes, or at least not fail in utter humiliation.

This post brought to you by day one of the third test.

I think this is very restrained of you: you waited until the third test to make Michael Vaughan/Vaughn references.

I think I did this last year, too, though. And I have a cunning plan to name all characters in Alias stories for cricketers, from now on. Wait until I introduce Agent Vaughn's new arch-enemy, Agent McGrath!

He is not Michael Vaughn! Or is he...no, I am!

Of course we have to thank the programming gods here in the U.S. that we will get to see the resolution of the storyline this fall instead of like last season, where we had to wait until *January* for the damn season to start. Gah, maddening.

I too wonder where they're going with the whole "I Think My Name is Michael" storyline. But man, that car crash was spectacular. Maybe he'll wind up with amnesia from the crash and we'll never find out.

And yay for Bradley Cooper (Will) getting a new show this fall too! Nice to see him doing well.

Nowhere good, I fear. I have no idea how that's supposed to relate to anythign that's happened in any of the previous seasons. But then, I don't much care for Vaughn -- no matter how hard they try to make him interesting.
