Just blown away by Phase 1 and wanted to join a mb and say how much I love this show. It's writing, production values, acting, unique characters, music scoring, etc, etc, etc,...are better than anything on t.v. and better than most movies.
JG's acting was superb in this episode - particularly the scene where she finds out about her Dad being compromised. The music score is fantastic and adds a lot to the already second to none production values - such as the dripping water type sound while they were waiting for the email, and the many song selections. The song in the last scene of the getaway episode was absolutely perfect!
This episode really hit on a wide range of strong emotions for many scenes. What a great movie...er...tv series.
My only concern about this restart is that futures shows are as cleverly and SMARTLY written ...a recent e.g. being Jacks description of how he chose how to respond to his boss by analyzing his psch profile and reaction to past answers. I love that the characters in this show are so smart (and mysterious) in so many ways - please keep it that way. Also, if you Alias folks read this mb, please keep and use Marshall more often - he is a unique and hillarious character. My wife and I loved his scenes in The Abduction. I REALLY like Irina as well (and especially her interaction w/ Jack and Sydney)!
Finally, one last thing about this episode....slones grin at the end...just perfect. I could could go on praising so many things about this show but I must go to sleep.
Long live this great show!
