Meanwhile, Vaughn is caught by Sark, who in turn, is targeted by Jack, who gets targeted by some random henchman. It is a nice little showdown. Their capture causes Sydney to rethink destroying the sphere. What repercussions will this have? I guess we will have to see tonight.
I for one, eagerly look forward to seeing how this plays out. I remember thinking, back in the early seasons, about how the Rambaldi undercurrent would be resolved, or if it even would. The thought had crossed my mind that the story could possibly be abandoned somewhere down the line. This was this series mythology, as the abduction/alien stories were the backbone of The X-Files.
The series has always been a fun spy romp, an intriguing world in which high tech espionage merged with ancient prophecies. Despite the story intricacies, which I admit to losing track of at many points, the show has always been anchored by a cast that can jump into these stories that threaten to become the sole point of the show, yet inject a high level of humanity to the proceedings.
Jennifer Garner displayed an incredible range as Sydney Bristow. She could make you believe that she was this kick ass superspy, while simultaneously being this fragile, vulnerable woman seeking to leave it behind. There is Victor Garber, a fine actor who was able to scare the crap out of me while being a tender father figure to Sydney. Michael Vartan as Michael Vaughn: steady, supportive character all the way through.
How could I forget Ron Rifkin as the deliciously insidious Arvin Sloane? This man is pure evil, yet he can disguise it in a cloak of goodness which is able to fool everybody. The supporting cast has also been first rate with Kevin Weisman, Carl Lumbly, Greg Grunberg; and later Mia Maestro, Amy Acker, Melissa George, Rachel Nichols, and David Anders. If anything, the cast has always been top notch.
Eagerly I await the revelations of tonight's final two hours. Join me, won't you?
