Having the same problems with Alias. I don't like Vaughn. I find Sydney bland but tolerable. I watch it for everyone else. And I did like this episode better than last weeks, probably because we saw so little of Vaughn and much more of Jack, Sloan, Lauren, Dixon and Sark.
Right now - my biggest problem with the show may be that I think I've figured it out so can more or less predict where they are going. I'm unspoiled by the way. So this is speculation: but here's what I think they are going to do with Lauren/Sark/Vaughn and Syd.
Lauren is going to get pregnant and either leave the baby with Vaughn or disappear pregnant. The question will not be who the father is, but rather who the father and mother are. Syd's eggs - Sark probably got them. He may have impregnanted Lauren. Vaughn is going to be left thinking she has his kid. And voila - Vaughn is in Jack's place with Irina all those years ago.
That's my prediction. Vaughn will find out she's a double-agent, she'll reveal she's pregnant, disappear. Chase is on to get the baby, which will later be revealed to be Syd and Rambaldi's biological daughter.
The thing about Alias - is it's not a BTVS or ATS or even a STarGate SG-1, it's pure action/adventure thriller, with focus on thriller. Not too much character development. Just enough to get you to care. The characters serve the situation as opposed to the situation serving the characters. Not too much mythos, just enough to give heighten the tension or give the characters something to chase and an air of mystery to the proceedings. Pretty formulaic.
