Double deaths seem to be popular these days.

Tell me 'bout it!

Ok, this episode was a whole shocker!

I am still in denial, believe me.

First of all, loved the opening in Jaipuh. Syd was hilarious! The way she said "Hi" was hystericall! I couldn't stop laughing!

Jen did really pull that off. She's amazing!

I love Syd and Renée in action together. They have a wonderful dynamic. And Renée was hilarious when they escaped the building... "There was a watch I liked!" And Syd said something like "It's probably a knockoff."

Nadia's heart had to stop before Sloane could inject the cure. 30 seconds. I guess that's where the title came from...

I kinda thought it was ironic. When they fought later on in his office and when she fell through the glass table, her dying scene was about the same time... 30 seconds....
However, that scene was very well done. You could clearly see Sloane's struggle. And by the way, Ron Rifkin rules. His acting abilities rule... just as they always do...

Did you catch the 47 reference at the begining when they intercepted that phone call with Peyton and Moritz? That was a co-ordinate, wasn't it?
The scene with the baby was so cute.. again!!!!

I loved seeing Syd & Nadia spending time together. They were so happy.

Tom's really not my favourite but he was pretty funny in this ep. First with Renée in Paris (did I see them bonding?)

and later on when they questioned Moritz.."Are you done yet?"

Loved the car scene with Nadia and Jack..."So I see you got a Ford Hybrid...?" Lol!
I love Jack! He's so awesome. And what he said to Nadia was so honest and true. Sloane is not (was not) the only family she has (had.)
Still, I wish there was more of Jack. Well, I suppose his time is yet to come, heh.

Nadia is dead.

That scene was so intense! I think I had tears in my eyes! Mia was amazing in that scene.
Her telling Sloane how awful it was to be in the coma for so long, to hear people speaking but not being able to talk or scream... she really had a tough life. I felt so very sorry for her. She deserved so much better! But she's always been a very corageous person. Why didn't she listen to what Sloane wanted to explain to her... she wouldn't have believed him anyway... but maybe it would have saved her life...? Then again, it seems like she was "chosen" to reveal the "real" message of page 47 (because she threw it in the fire) and it seems like she was "chosen" to die because of the prophecy/that page. .. does anybody think the prophecy is fulfilled with her being dead? The message is revealed but what does it say? I just can't wait to find out... And how freaky was the Rambaldi sign on the page!

This is getting more mysterious... and I absolutely love it, lol.
And did I hear right that Sloane was yelling "Sydney" when he saw the page in the fire... or am I already imagining things?
I think her death was logical. And kind of sarcastic. You can survive bullets and Zombies and then you die because you fell through a glass table and suffocate because of a splinter in your throat... that totally reminded me of the scene when Sloane had a splinter of glass in his chest... the difference is that Nadia helped his father; Sloane didn't help his daughter.

The speech Sloane gave had me confused. He truly thinks he is the chosen one or does he just think that he was chosen to bring forth Rambaldi's work... cause I remember Irina saying this to Sydney at he end of season 2... And what the hell was he looking at at the very end of the ep when he boarded the plane? Or was it just symbolic? I love evil Sloane but I think he has a hidden agenda. He himself said he betrayed everybody (he loved) in his life, why shouldn't he betray Prophet 5...

I don't like the fact that Renée is dead. I loved her! She was so cool and just different. My European fellow! *le sigh* I think she noticed that Sydney looked different right before Bristowspinosa slit her throat. She had that look and then she said her name right before she died... like a scream for help. Now she will never see Vaughn again.....
I am wondering who's the mole at APO. I think it's Tom...

Both Nadia and Renée were lying dead on the ground with one hand to their throat. May they rest in peace. They will be missed.

Oh, Marshall was hilarious again! I loved how he explained the mission to Jack. He's so brilliant. "With the courtsey of Mitchill..."

Can't wait for next episode. It's time for some Vaughn.

Carol, what did FF do to your post???

It looks like it posted it 15 times in various stages...which is an accomplishment, even for you.

You might want to ask Chris or Rachel about that.

I don't know what happened with FF and my post..... Johnnie is aware of the situation, but he said he didn't want to go back and delete them all.

I think it was my dail-up that night or something. Once I shut down the computer and started over, it was better.

But yeah, that was an accomplishement, even for me
