OK then. Strong episode. But who do we think was driving the car?
. . . .
Seriously though, I think there is a lot the writers COULD do with the accident (and more so the potetnial driver).

Somebody ran a red light. Maybe even Vaughn. I personally am going to vote for the "random act of stupid driving" theory. It's more believable. I mean this is Alias, but there are so many better ways to kill a man!!
The only thing that makes me think otherwise is that Laura Bristow was killed in a car crash. If Vaughn was working for somebody else and they wanted to extract him, maybe they would cause an accident to fake his death? I think that Syd being in the car w/ him would be very important for that. If they faked the accident and she wasn't there, she'd never believe it had happened for real and she'd go looking for him. If she was in the car, and he later died in the hospital, they (whoever "they" is) stand a reasonable shot of her accepting his death.
I don't think she would though. This is one potential outcome of the story: Vaughn is alive somewhere else and Syd spends season 5 looking for him, the way he
didn't look for her those two years that she was missing.

Heh, yeah Sark's got the sexy bad boy down, and we definitely need to see him return. But I could handle Vaughn being a little darker.

I was really suprised that the whole "end of the world" thing got resolved - I was expecting THAT to be the cliffhanger - but this one is way better.

It had better not be a dream. That is scriptwriting's biggest cop-out, and the cheesiest thing they could possibly come up with.

100% agreement here too. A dream sequence would totally tick me off.

Oh how I agree with you! This is absurd to say the least. I honestly believe if Vaughn really isn't Vaughn then it will be worst than season 3 with him being married to you-know-who. JJ, if you read this board, I'm telling you nothing you do can make this work (if that is indeed the direction you're going in for season 5). It's just going to seem too contrived to break S/V up just like the "love triangle" of season 3. I for one definitely don't like it! And fi you're killing Vaughn off the show, Alias just won't be the same for me and the new fans that I recruited just this season. No I don't watch the show just for MV but he is part of what made Alias my favorite TV show.

yeesh!!!!!!! Okay hold on let's not go to extremes! There's
lots of things they could do to make this work! (And a number that would totally suck, yes.) This doesn't have to mean everything we know about Vaughn is completely false. It just means there's another side to him. That's what I'm holding out for, anyway. Something that supplements all the back story we've gotten about him, that fits in with the backstory of his father and his long (at least college days) friendship with Weiss and so on.
And I think it could be much better than season 3, because what will be keeping them apart is issues of trust, which began in season 3, were continued in season 4, and look to come out in a big way in season 5.
And I know this post is long, but NIGHTENGALE. When Elena stole all those Rambaldi artifacts from the DSR she stole a box that said "nightengale" on it. There's been almost no comment on this that I've seen . . . this to me says the whole story of Vaughn's father isn't gone!! And it probably ties into Vaughn's secrets.
That really is going to be too much fun.
