okay my thoughts.
First off the scene where Marashall joined APO I nearly died. I am sitting in my room watching the tape at midnight using headphones b/c of the sound and I have three roomates and I have got both hands over my mouth trying to keep the laughter in because it was so funny, i thought i was going to die.
Second Weiss and Nadia, better happen b/c that was the cutest thing i've ever seen so now we know Weiss is 38 (he said 38 right) ah well in my world he is still younger. I know GG was is 38 or around there but i thought Weiss was younger. Mind you Nadia is a little young for him, she must be under 25 for sure.
Okay Sloan heading up APO, who didn't see that coming, as soon as i heard it was an unlikely new boss and Dixon as Syd's new partner, saw that coming too but still good. I can definitley see it returning to the season one aspects already. Can't wait for Will's return of course. I am definitley excited to see Dixon and Syd back together for partners, but where does that leave Vaughn. Sure he joined them on the samurai mission but mostly the missions are for only two of them (at least in the past so who knows) Hopefully they'll just flip flop between Vaughn and Dixon, oh and Nadia.
Back to Nadia and Weiss, who else would love to see them on a mission? What can I say, I'm smitten.
Okay and Vaughn burning down his house, i kinda wish they'd made a little more of that. "Not a happy home" lol
Marshall having eggs with sark! Dying of laugheter again another moment where I had to cover my mouth. I would love to see some Marshall/Sark bonding. I wonder if Sark will end up working for APO (just a theory of mine)
The pretty much non-mention of the covenant was surprising.
Syd telling Weiss she works for a bank, he'll have it figured out in no time flat. I don't see him joining APO for a little while though. My understanding was that he wasn't going to be in alias as much this season but he was listed as a regular in the opening credits so i'm guessing that decision has been revamped slightly. He may not appear as much till later on though.
Was David Anders listed in the min opening credits? Can't remember I'll have to go look and watch it again.
There was a lot of action but not as much as I'd thought.
The whole SAB47 secret documents thing. Irina's death wasn't listed on the SAB47 pages. Didn't Syd say it was a separate document. Which yes resolves the whole Irina thing unless Lena Olin decides to come back, which I hope she does. Despite everything I can not see Jack killing Irina, no way in hell and Sydney believing it so willingly was a little surprising. So yeah i think they just decided to sort of take the easy way out with those documents. I mean I know that there was obviously more to the story than just Irina's death and yes there is a whole season to come but come on.
Okay i so did not like Sydney lying to Nadia about Irina's death like that and further more what was up with the no contact with Nadia thing. If i were Sydney having seen Sloan for the first time the first question I'd be asking is where is Nadia? So in all that time she decided not to search for her sister at all.
okay the beginning with the grease and the guy and the earing, i nearly died laughing as well hmmmm
don't know what else to say........
Nadia, I liked her what else can I say, this is the first time we've really seen what she can do as far as acting abilities more so that last season of course.
can't wait till Will comes back, Angela Bassett was great and so was thatTamaki guy or whatever his name was.
okay back to syd working at a bank, that is an easy cover that maybe they're hoping Weiss will figure out, after all she did go to school to be an english lit professor after all.
overall great episode but I don't know it still didn't match to season one for me (particularly the premiere). I guess season one just had that innocence and softness to it that not all seasons possess, maybe once we see Will and more of Nadia that feeling will come back a little as well as Syd and Dixon working and her many aliases complete with accents.
to those who didn't like it at all, maybe just give it time, after all if you're posting here I doubt you're going to stop watching.
just my two cents anyways
