Alias 3x17 The Frame

[oyceter]

Yup. So. Watch me scream at the tv again.

I would just like to say a few things that in general are my own, personal relationship rules (and which will probably show why I hate Vaughn with a seething passion):

1. You do not break up with someone and then get back together because you feel bad for them. If you don't love them, it's probably not going to work out, and not making a clean break may be the cruelest possible thing to do.

2. If you have just separated from your wife (not even divorced, just separated), I feel it is not quite appropriate to call your ex-girlfriend for coffee the very same night.

3. If you're going to break up, make damn sure you've made up your mind and stop dangling people around. Unless all three people agree to it, you really cannot date two people at the same time.

That will be all about that, because I spent all my anger yelling at the TV. The boy is lucky I did not throw something at it and break it in sheer disgust. I'm sorry. But I personally think guys like that are even worse than one night stand guys, because at least then it's over and done with.

On other notes: SpyMoms abound! What is with this show and evil SpyMoms? Lauren really is a Syd double, sigh. That said, I'm glad she didn't shoot her dad, and I loved watching her fall apart. Of course, it would be nice if the wardrobe department or someone had a little more subtlety and didn't do the whole Black Leather of Evil thing.

Sydney's bangs are kind of ugly.

Sydney should get over Vaughn and date Weiss, who seems to have oodles more common sense.

I liked Senator Reed.

I did not care a jot about the Rambaldi artifact.

And: Sark asked Lauren to kill his dad?! Did we know this before and am I just slow?

I could really go for a Syd/Weiss ship. I could go for a Syd/Will ship too.

I know, I know, re Vaughan. But Vartan is so pretty!

[deevalish.livejournal.com]

He's pretty but that's about it.

[oyceter]

All I can notice about Vaughn now is his wrinkled forehead! I think my sister pointed it out -- it's a bad habit I have that my mom keeps correcting, so now I hear her voice every time Vartan furrows his brow.

[thewildmole.livejournal.com]

Vaughn is Le Suck.

That is all.

[oyceter]

Exactly ^_^.

Sydney should get over Vaughn and date Weiss, who seems to have oodles more common sense.

*Snicker* Oh yeah. I was sitting there watching yet another Sydney sobbing scene and perkily informed the screen. "Shoulda stuck with Weiss sweetie!"

*snerk* Is it bad I'm enjoying the pathetic?

And yes, I would very much love to smack the wardrobe department. I'm thinking they're borrowing the Smallville tendency for Anvil dropping. Ye gods. We need to teach these people the meaning of the word subtle. Yeesh.

Well, I'm not sure. She did call him right after it was done didn't she? Or did she call someone else?

[oyceter]

Tee hee hee. I think I just yelled at her ^_^.

Wah. Is the rest of the country actually enjoying the S/V angst?

[medie]

*snicker* I'm enjoying being loftily arrogant to her. Even if she's a fictional character. ;-p

Well, if the s/vers on my f-list are any judge (and I didn't read their entries. Just their cut tags. I've learned if I want to keep them on my f-list? I can't actually read their post-ep thoughts as the Lauren-bashing tends to make me homicidal *G*) then not last night. *snicker*

But mostly? if there's a significant glance? Yup. they lurve eet.

[oyceter]

Nyargh. I swear, Lauren is the only reason I'm still watching this show, and I about threw in the towel last night.

Sigh. I don't know what in the world JJ Abrams is thinking.

[medie]

*nods* I totally know what you mean. I'm just...gah! With them right now. In the beginning, I didn't much care about S/V. In fact, I ignored it, but now, I actively cannot stand the sight of them together on screen.

Right now? Probably hoping and praying the break up with Vartan and Garner was amicable cause if not...Bwah!

*coughs* I probably shouldn't get that much glee out of that but yet...*snerk*

*shakes head*

[oyceter]

Hee hee!

My first reaction: Vartan and Garner were dating?!

I used to kind of like Sydney... she annoyed me sometimes, but it was ok, but now the sheer Vaughn dislike is rubbing off on her too.

[medie]

They were. *nods sagely* For me, that might as well have been funeral bells for S/V as a ship cause, going by previous examples of such? Nothing drains chemistry (assuming there is any *G*) from an on-screen pairing faster than that. 'cept, maybe, the break up. *snicker*

*nods* Yeah. I kinda like Sydney. But it has one huge but attached to it. She has to be in the vicinity of Weiss. ;-p The rest of the time, she bores me. I actually find Vaughn more palatable than Sydney which seems to put me in a minority. ;-p But more, I think, because Sydney was always a little too perfect for me (despite being worst spy ever *G*) and then when this all started getting bad, my like of her started to plummet. *G*

Here here or is it hear hear!!

Either way. Vaughn is pretty but the boy has no backbone. He needs a spine transplant. I hate what he does to Syd and I much preferred their relationship pre getting together. At least there was some tension that wasn't angst related. He certainly does dangle them doesn't he.

I too am a Weiss lover and he certainly would provide Syd with a more stable life. For a while last year I thought he was Rambaldi. His apparent luck with plants living a long time and one other statement I can't remember but at the time I thought it was important. [Sorry] So much for short term or long term memory!

Re: Here here or is it hear hear!!

[oyceter]

Vaughn amazed me with his lack of backbone. I mean, yeah I go for the entire nice guy thing, but this isn't nice! This is just being cruel through inaction!

Hee hee hee hee! That's awesome! I'm going to keep thinking of Weiss as Rambaldi.

[deevalish.livejournal.com]

Sydney's bangs are kind of ugly. *nods head in agreement* And I thought it was just me!

I did not care a jot about the Rambaldi artifact. Yup.

Sydney just needs to get over Vaughn period. I wish Dixon wasn't so trusting. But then I guess that's what Jack is around for, to be the one always looking at someone with a super critical laser eye.

[oyceter]

Nope! I don't know... I thought that when JG had them at the Oscars too. I'm generally not one for the blunt bang style.

Sydney is probably one of those TV heroines who would benefit from being not romantically attached once in a while. Ugh.

At least Jack remains discerning.
