I agree. I think the Lost finale would have been far, far better if it had been tightened up. The pace, the suspense - it could, as you say, easily have lost 30 minutes and I think I would have liked it better.

I'm not so much a fan of the long-drawn out to the eep moment. Probably why I'm such a fan of Alien - it just never stops bringing the intensity (Alien and Aliens - we do not speak of the other 2 ptoey).

There were two other movies?

The final Alias review of the year is finished and online.

[Pixi]

The end of the Rambaldi prophecy? Nah - I don't believe it.

Another wonderful review Sara. Loved the comparison and parelleling of the older generation sisters and younger generation sisters.

"My two favorites so far: that Vaughn is a Rambaldi descendant/Rambaldi himself, or that Vaughn is actually Syd's deceased fiancé Danny."

Seriously? This is what people are speculating? Why haven't I heard these things? Must be because I haven't really been on any alias forum boards lately. These are great!

"What would Jack do in this situation...Jack is the king of this sort of thing."
"Well, first he'd probably glower a bit, right? And then he'd, I dunno, probably blackmail or torture somebody, right? " The comedy stylings of Weiss and Marshall were one of the hour's highlights.

I loved this line. And I agree - they were great. The both on comms lines still gets my choice for best line with accompanying facial expression of the year but this was stellar.

--"Hey, while I've got you on the line, let me ask you: what's the significance of the green balloons?" I, for one, so entirely don't want to know the answer to that...

But it certainly makes you wonder doesn't it?


Great review Sara. Really - it adds so much to my enjoyment of an episode to be able to go and read a review I like and see things I never thought of, and things I agree with and analysis I could never come up with. Really terrific.

You know - back in the early Buffy days, when I was cruising around the internet looking for a board home, I remember stumbling over the TV Tome site and thinking it looked interesting. Now I feel all that for knowing one of the reviewers. ;D (Ahem shallow moment over)

Anyway, bravo bravo. Until next year . . . . . .

You go right ahead and Google the phrase "green balloons" if you want to, 'cause there's no way I'm trying that search on my computer.

Thank you for the kind words, as always--it's much appreciated.
