Okay, it's over. I'm just as distraught as the next Alias fan that "our" show is over, but let's discuss this ending. First off, the whole ICBM plot device was weak and unwarranted. I realize the world needs to be in jeopardy so Syney can save it, but it made no sense and I (and I sense others) don't buy it. This is a trivial point and you can talk about, but for my money the real issue here is....Irina ultimately evil? Her little throw away line about still loving Sydney fell on deaf ears. Despite all the duplicitous and nefarious acts Irina has foisted on the CIA, Jack, Sydney and anyone worthy of our attention, she had proven herself to be a woman of honor, integrity with a considerable capacity for love and compassion (despite the fact that she can be a scary bitch with few limitations whan it comes to vengance). This power lust did not ring true for me and her rejection of Sydney was as dissappointing as it was hollow. Jack went out with style befitting him and Sloan got his cumuppance, so why not let Irina do what she does best; stay one step ahead (of everyone), kick someone's ass and slide back into being a fugitive phantom. Overall a good ending, but one of my favorite characters had an ending that went off track.
