I absolutely agree with you re. Vaughn's marriage. He might have acquired -- in the two year period Sydney was missing -- a somewhat casual girlfriend, but marriage never. I don't know how far you have advanced in your viewing, so I don't want to "spoil" you, but, anyway, be prepared for some strange (and sometimes unwelcome (as far as I'm concerned) character "development" in Season Three. You'll need patience and fortitude, but, I believe you'll enjoy the season, nevertheless. (I truly thought that S/V would become engaged by the time their Santa Barbara weekend ended, but--sigh--I should have known better. Well, I'm such a romantic, especially when it comes to Sydney and Vaughn.) Persimmon.
