If you think about it, this is exactly what JJ wanted. He wanted every Alias fan to be pulling their hair out wondering what is going to happen...to him this is a victory because he knows that everyone that watched the finale will be watching the season premiere. And he's already got two story lines for next year and it's only May! He's got the Vaughn/Syd plot and then the Rambaldi device plot, that easily is the first 10 episodes. As for Sydney and Vaughn, as much as I hate to say it, what JJ did was perfect, there was no way they were going to live happily ever after, JJ had to do something drastic to keep us hanging on, I know we love Syd and Vaughn together (at least i do) but their relationship could easily have gotten boring if something didn't change...now i don't agree with JJ for letting Vaughn supposedly get married, but I'm glad he did something because now Sydney has to fight for him again...all I can say is I can't wait for September!
