What a perfect way to begin season number 4! "At last..." If that didn't grab your attention - and your crotch - I don't know what will. The show returns to the feel of the first season in that Sydney is also a person and not just a working, globe-trotting robot. Yeah, I think Garner looks totally awesome with her hair like that. I guess now that she's calm, she looks better. Here's my guide to what rocked, what needs improving and what rocked.
The Great:
-the use of "At Last"
-APO, i think this is a great setup
-Angela Bassett was a terrific addition to the cast in her brief moment
-the opening: classic Alias
-the flash forwards and flashbacks: classic Alias
-Mia Maestro's introduction as an agent, she gives Garner a run for her money
-the constant flashing of Vartan's tatoo
-Sloane as the good/bad guy
-Nadia and Syd are gonna kick ass together. Grrrl! Power!
-the APO team lined up together at the end with Sloane talking to them
-The most technically stunning show on television has returned!
The Not as Great:
-the first half of the episode was almost a direct copy of the super bowl episode. but hey, that was the series best!
-It took too long to bring back Flinkman, but I was so happy when he came back. OMG, I lost it when he said he went to see Sark twice and they had eggs. FUNNIEST MOMENT OF THE NIGHT!
-speaking of, where the fuck is Sark! he's so cool!
-I oddly don't miss Melissa George and yet feel bad about that. Hmm
-I feel slightly cheated by the cliffhanger last season. What exactly was Lauren referring to when she said that her and Syd were similar and both in on the same thing. Then we find out the papers Syd was looking at were about Irena's death.
-the end with Nadia vowing vengeance was a tad cliched
-Weis was also underused which might be good. He doesn't really add anything to the show except to be Vaughn's buddy.
The Shocks and Surprises:
-Is Irena officially dead? I mean, we pretty much know Lena Olin isn't coming back. But is she really dead? I don't buy it.
-Irena tried to kill Syd. Woah.
-Jack had Irena killed. Or did he?
-Sloane is back as a good guy. Or bad guy. Ugh. So frustrating.
Anywho, it was a great and promising start for season #4. It sets us up for a fun, edge of your seat ride and I can't wait to see where it all goes.
