I like how they're always posting random quotes at the end - sometimes completely out of context

Same here - I didn't have much time to enjoy the previous ones so I'll go through them once I'm done with exams

And another two:

"The Coup"/"Page 47" | Alias | TV Club | TV | The A.V. Club
Quote:
“The Coup” as a whole has a lot of pretty terrible stuff weighing down the episode in which he makes his first appearance. As such, the bookends are great, and everything in the middle leaves a lot to be desired. It’s like an entire season of Smallville, only compressed into 45 minutes.
lol whut?

Quote:
Syd still dresses up like a slinky casino cocktail waitress, but Dixon gets to dress up like one of the Baha Men. It’s absolutely hysterical to watch him strut around as Jamaican parliamentary member Darian Buchanan, mocking the gullibility of Americans and generally being awesome.
So true Syd on the phone with Francie(?) in that scene still makes me laugh

Quote:
Syd watches and records this all from a window outside the Moscow building in which the meeting is held, but stepping on a loose brick gives away her position. Will the guard outside shoot her? Will an Imperial Stormtrooper actually shoot Han Solo? Exactly. Let’s get to “Page 47”, shall we? Because THAT **** is bananas. B-A-N-A-N-A-S.


Best part imho:
Quote:
Anytime Sloane smiles brightly, I feel a little bit of myself die inside. He’s like a freaking Dementor that way.
and
Quote:
But what’s on Page 47 truly seals the deal and sends this sucker into the pantheon.

I mentioned at the top of this review that “Page 47” tweaked my brain in a specific and perhaps lasting way. I don’t mean to state that somehow this hour did something no hour of television before it had not. You can make plenty of intellectual cases for hundreds of episodes that came before this that pushed the medium of television into newer, more daring, and more experimental ways. So let me assure you that I’m not making a claim about “Page 47” past my own grey matter here. I can just tell you that when I first saw Sydney Bristow’s face on a 500-year old document, I lost my mind in the best way possible.


I'll stop quoting now

No worries It's not like I read all of them - just a few here and there when I'm in the mood/have time

They covered 3 episodes in the latest recap
"The Prophecy"/"Q&A"/"Masquerade"

Someone wants to see the finale as fast as they can

It's such a great line

And there's more hilarity in the new recap:
Quote:
Poole is played by Roger Moore, a bit of stunt casting that made me squeal then as much as it made me squeal this time around. And I’m not much of a squealer. Honest.
As funny as this is:
Quote:
J.J. Abrams: Hey guys, thanks for having me in. You wanted to talk.
ABC Executive: Yea, thanks for coming in! Loving the show, J.J. Just…loving it.
J.J. Abrams: Oh great, thanks. We’re really excited about what we’ve been coming up with in the writer’s room.
ABC Executive: Oh really? You returning to a more simple, "Felicity goes on missions" thing? Because we just thought that was great early on.
J.J. Abrams: Oh, no way. We’ve got bigger plans. “The Man”? We haven’t even started on that. We’ve knocked out 15 sonnets that indirectly point to more prophecies. We’ll learn Rambaldi trained marmosets to be ninjas, and they are going to be Sark’s henchmen, and…
ABC Executive: Whoa, whoa, all sounds great. We just had one quick question after reading your latest script.
J.J. Abrams: Oh, oh sure. Fire away.
ABC Executive: OK, here is it: exactly what the **** is happening on Alias now? Because frankly, we’re hopelessly lost. Start from the beginning. Like I’m a 5th grader. Actually, that sounds like a great idea for a game show. Quick, someone write that down…
it's really NOT THAT COMPLICATED A SHOW - STOP MAKING IT SO

Quote:
Signs This Show Was Filmed A Decade Ago, Vol. 47: Syd’s far too excited about translating the photos of Khasinau into JPEGs. She treats it like she just split an atom.

Quote:
“Q&A” introduced what would later become a staple, and then a handicap, for the show: the “start off the show with an exciting action sequence and then go back a few days time just as it looks like our hero will die” technique. Trust me, this is gonna start happening a LOT.
O RLY?
Quote:
What the hell is up with Vaughn’s red leather jacket during his underground meet with Syd? Was he just returning from an audition for the Daredevil movie?
