alias is forever the triumph of "but it would be cool" over every other storytelling consideration

[schmerica]

pearl_o: yay!
pearl_o: oh, man, amy, after you went to bed last night i watched more alias

fox1013: was it magic?
fox1013: DID YOU GET UP TO THE INCEST?

pearl_o: it was the episode with
Gina Torres

fox1013: (Most shows I am all "incest, whatever", but Alias I am all FLAIL)

pearl_o: where she brands Nadia so that everytime Sydney looks at her she will think of Anna

fox1013: *happy sigh* yeaaaaaaah.

pearl_o: SEASON FOUR HOW SO WONDERFUL

fox1013: did you know some people don't like that season?

pearl_o: those people are wrong on the internet.
pearl_o: is jack getting radiation poisoning saving sydney and then almost dying this season?

fox1013: I KNOW.
fox1013: I think so
fox1013: cause that's what makes him get the treatment where he thinks syd is irina

pearl_o: oh, awesome
pearl_o: ...how can you not like this season, though, seriously.

fox1013: ...I am not into Jack/Sydney, though.
fox1013: Syd/Nadia, Jack/Sloane/Irina.
fox1013: THE WAY IT OUGHT TO BE.
fox1013: Wait, no. Syd/Nadia/Grunberg.
fox1013: OTcuddly3!

pearl_o: I am only through episode 8 on my rewatch and we already have Nadia being awesome, Jack being awesome, Nadia and Grunberg being adorable, Gina Torres being hotass and femslashy, femslash incest subtext, Vaughn being a tool, Sydney and Vaughn pretending to be a Soviet terrorist couple in a fake 50s American suburb, endless jokes about Syd and Vauhgn being boring and cold, a vampire pastiche, and a guy freezedrying and exploding into a million pieces.

fox1013: heeeeeeeeeeeee
fox1013: WHAT'S NOT TO LOVE

pearl_o: I KNOW.
pearl_o: And we still have the episode where Jack thinks Syd is Irina, aka the amazingest
pearl_o: And then Irina showing up for real!

fox1013: Iriiiiiiiiiiiiina

pearl_o: And the bizarre finale where it turns into a zombie movie
pearl_o: And the season finale where it ends with Syd and Vaughn getting HIT BY A CAR
pearl_o: --omg, is Clone Sloane this season too?

fox1013: ...HE MIGHT BE.
fox1013: I THINK HE IS.

pearl_o: *is just looking at episode titles and trying to remember what happens*

fox1013: Arvin Clone! <3

pearl_o: GOD I LOVE THIS SHOW

fox1013: When you are done with s4?
fox1013: You should type up a list of things that happened in the season
fox1013: I mean, you're 1/3 of the way in and it's already GOLD

Wait - is Sloane the blonde bad guy who keeps reappearing and at one point there's a scene where he tortures Vaughn and it's ****really**** hot?

Because that scene made me want dubcon pornfiction really badly. I'm not gonna lie.

[holyschist.livejournal.com]

Nope, that's Sark. But Sark is basically porn on legs.

Sloane is the old bad guy who is like Jack's nemesis/evil fuckbuddy and originally Sydney's boss.

[greyandgrey.livejournal.com]

Right! Right....

Oh man, Sark is totally my favorite character. Because, like you said: Porn on legs.

(BTW: this has totally got me rewatching Alias /o\)

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Personally, I like Sark best when girls are beating him up.

[greyandgrey.livejournal.com]

You know? I can handle him on either end of the dom/sub spectrum...

Hee! I love this season. And I love your summary of everything that happens. Iriiiiiina!!! And Arvin Clone was so much fun. Gah In Dreams kills me.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

I'm just giddy in expectation for the rest of the season.

[olivia-circe.livejournal.com]

Arvin Clone is totally S4! SEASON 4 IS FULL OF AWESOME! Alias wins at crack life. :D

*S4 love* This season, seriously, I love that show. I might have to go rewatch it now...

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]
