it's amazing how many parallels there are in the saga of ALIAS...the shot in the shoulder, the walkins in the beginning of each season...ep. 17 (catch me if I'm wrong) someone is suspected of being a double...the list is seemingly endless. But I have to agree with you, mystery chick...I think that's what vaughan will do...ONLY DON'T LET IRINA DIE!!!!!! She's tooo good a character!
