Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Okay, an hour awake is too long. Back to sleeping now.

Redressed the side wound and it seems to be doing nothing untoward. The "blossom" portion looks to be the worst. The runofthemill scratches are just deep scratches that will need some wee debridement tomorrow.

I know you've alternatives, ita, but ping me if you need Alias. I will be watching tomorrow and it's simple enough to record while I watch and then send the taped one on to you.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

24: No, Sean, as best as I could tell, the Ensign survived. Jack only shot Robo.

Alias: Spydaddy!!! Noooooo!!! RIP, *sniff*

Also, Arvin - harsh fate dude! Not even any books around to catch up on your reading.

Art Crawl!!!

Alias: I also loved Rachel using her underwire to get out of the cuffs. I had a moment of "huh"? when Marshall's wife didn't know that he was a spy. . . I had forgotten that all of APO had "left" the CIA for other sorts of jobs. I love Sloan's end. I'm very very sad that Spy!Daddy is gone.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I watched Alias for the first time in about 2 years, but I still enjoyed the finale and was able to follow it. Can anyone tell me, however

how Vaughn came back to life?

Sophia, Vaughn was never actually dead. Spy!Daddy gave him something to fake his death so that Prophet 5 wouldn't realize that they hadn't killed him and you know, kill him again.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Cass, my VCR right now is not much more than a large clock. It ate the last tape I fed it. So I will examine other avenues of acquisition.

Thanks, though.

What is even happening?

24 I watched it in fits and starts, because of kid issues. Thank goodness they didn't kill Aaron. I wondered if Jack was going to be bagged because the Petty Officer saw him kill Christopher. *

24 QUESTION: Did McHottie bite it earlier in the season? I have seen all the episodes (I think) but can't remember.

Sumi, I had the same "huh" moment. Which in reality was a continuity moment, now that I think about because if she'd known he was still a spy, THAT would have been the retcon (or error). Very sad about Jack, but at least he got to take down Arvin with his last breath. Somewhat sad about Spymommy too, but mainly because I was hoping that they would just leave her semi-redeemed per the end of last season. Even Sark gets less of a raw deal than Spymommy.

Question: did we ever find out what horizon was going to do? I gotta assume some imortality thing, but then what about the pool that Arvin fell into. With the Prophet 5 resources, I can almost see why she'd want to take out DC and London - at least it's a lot more sense-making an evil scheme than chock-full-o-zombies a la Sonia Braga last year - but it seemed a bit extreme for the level of evil Spymommy's usually displayed. She's always seemed more of a Sark/Payton (Peyton?) mercenary sort than a moo-ha-ha-harbinger of evil.
