TWO weeks? We have to wait TWO weeks for a new Alias? ARGH !!!!

I loved everything about the show tonight EXCEPT:
~The scene at the airport was excellent, well-written and perfectly acted....UNTIL they pulled back to show Syd and Vaughn amidst a horribly animated backdrop of an airport.
~Sark accosting Lauren...this helpless wench wouldn't have lifted her hood, she's AAA all the way.
~While I'm covering my favorite peeve (Yes, I'm looking at you, Lauren/Melissa), the multi-cultural accent was at its worst this evening while she was speaking to Sark. It was almost as if his accent was confusing her.
~Vaughn's fake blood...head wounds bleed, a LOT, we all know that. What we aren't so quick to accept is that his head wound would merely stain your forehead. C'mon Make-up staff, you're too good for that.

My favs:
~The full frontal smack at Sloane.
~Marshall's matchbox solution.
~Syd kicking major ass against those security agents in China.
~Vaughn must have retrieved his balls from the pawn shop. Not only did he take on Jack, but he intentionally went against the missus and helped Syd escape.
~The previews - Sloane taking a bullet, though I hastily suspect that a bullet-proof vest saves him.

Lastly, I completely anticipated (eagerly) Lena Olin to be sitting in the Italy apartment awaiting Syd's arrival. Sort of bummed that my hopes didn't come to fruition.

(P.S. - I just ran spell check, because I'm anal that way. It suggested that "Vaughn" should be replaced with "vagina". Sort of fitting this season, huh?)
