more "Alias" thoughts (spoilery for last night) -- Jack/Nadia postings! [Apr. 14th, 2005|12:24 pm]
Previous Entry Add to Memories Tell a Friend Next Entry
[mood | nerdy]

A friend -- not me, HONESTLY -- didn't tape "Pandora" and seeks a copy. Can anyone help out? In the same lifesaving, totally awesome way that the brilliant [info]handfulofsky helped me out with "Nightingale"?

(And yes, despite this lesson, I did not tape "Pandora" either. I can endure, but never again. Seriously.)

Now, some spoilery thoughts (only spoilery for "Pandora") --

Poll #474768
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All

So, what is Jack's mutation?

View Answers

Something that will KILL HIM OMG unless somebody steals a Rambaldi whatsit to save him.
9 (15.3%)

Now, whenever Jack gives someone the Bristow look of death, they burst into flame.
27 (45.8%)

His face now does this strange thing called "smiling" once in a while.
12 (20.3%)

Now, whenever Jack Bristow becomes angry or upset, a startling transformation occurs -- yes, he will be the Hulk. Purple stretch pants optional.
4 (6.8%)

A certain special something now vibrates.
7 (11.9%)



The thoughts:

1) Were Jack and Sloane actually looking out for Vaughn earlier? They said they'd tried to keep anyone from reaching Vaughn with the diaries, etc., but that they'd missed some. If they knew/believed the diaries were all fakes, then Jack and Sloane were actually attempting to keep Vaughn out of all this mess. I doubt it was solely motivated by the milk of human kindness -- it's just smarter not to have Vaughn entangled with everything -- but all the same, I think possibly they were.

2) Neither Sloane nor Cloane set Jack up to kill Irina -- or, rather, they did, but obviously someone ELSE took the final steps. I think you know who I mean.

3) Should there not be an episode next year that is essentially the Jack-Marshall buddy-movie episode? Tell me how great that would be.

4) Somebody was suggesting that if Sloane is in fact working with Cloane -- and maybe he is -- that Dixon's involvement may have been a setup meant to get him killed. I do not consider this impossible.

5) Jack apparently hasn't been to see Katya at all. Interesting. Do you think he or Sloane knows that Nadia has been paying those prison visits?

6) I have nothing new to add to the various concepts of Jack as the world's least willing X-Man, except to note that his outfit would be the exact same suit he always wears, with an X-shaped tie-clip. Period.



And now, the post you've all been waiting for -- and that I'm betting most of us will wait another few days for --

Post Stories for the Jack/Nadia Ficathon!


If you are one of those who has hers ready, please go ahead and post a link here. If you prefer to wait until tomorrow, Saturday or Sunday, please feel free to do so; I am going to myself. But if you have one ready, your audience awaits. Hope we get some reading today! I will direct people back to this post on subsequent days.

Work is suspiciously quiet. In an ominous way.

I'll check my DVR tonight to see whether I recorded "Pandora" or got a gigabyte's worth of hash. If the former, I can probably burn a copy to DVD over the weekend. Or tomorrow morning, if I don't stop to clip out commercials.

Working late tonight, but will be able to pick up email messages by 9pm or so, or you can use the LJ text-message thingy to ping me...

the show o' the day on the SciFi Channel is The Incredible Hulk, which is why I had to choose that answer to the poll and think fondly of your related XF fic.

does your vcr not have programming technology? this has made many a happy viewing experience for me that would otherwise have been sorrow and mayhem.

It does have programming technology, and is in fact frighteningly smart, adjusting itself for DST without my input, so forth and so on. However, I have the VCR programmed to tape Lost and Alias -- last night, I didn't want Lost, so I didn't pre-set it; reprogramming it seemed overly bothersome, and once again, in the first glow of Alias-beginning, I forgot to just go punch RECORD. Alas.

I was wondering how the Hulk option was keeping pace with the (to me) more-inviting vibrating option. Now I know.

Jack would not be doing any of that naked fighting in the Danger Room. He'd walk in once, be told to disrobe, look at that person and set them on fire, and that would be the end of that.

Poor Daddy Mutato. If he knew his future was jazz hands, he'd strangle himself with a tie.

He'd strangle himself! If only -- he could -- unclench -- the jazz hands!

In the X-Men, Logan is called "Wolverine." Marie is called "Rogue." Scott is called "Cyclops." What would Jack be called?

I'm going with "Scowl."

Love, love, love the development of the Jack/Marshall relationship. Marshall was so adorable and sweet last night, trying to pull one over Jack and Sloane, with, of course, the best of intentions. I hope they continue to pursue that relationship.

I thought based on Sloane's initial reaction to Nadia's revelation that she'd been to see Katya, it did seem like he might've been aware of the visits. Then again, maybe he's just a master of concealing surprise.

You know what I found most interesting about the ep? I've never forgotten that line from Irenicon about Arvin having the gift of being able to believe what he wants to believe (ICAM). So when he told Nadia "then do," with that intense look that seemed to be willing her to share in that particular gift, I was amused.

Love the results of the poll, btw. #2 is definitely the way to go.

It's funny how Raptor could kinda be a mutant name. (I prefer your "Scowl," though. Bwah!) And X-Menverse already has its very own Phoenix. *g*

I would love for more Mack Daddy on the show, seriously. Jack and Marshall really, really need to perpetrate something together.

I think you're right that Sloane knew about the chats with Katya. And that raises the question: Is Katya playing Sydney and Nadia? Is Katya in turn being played? If Sloane didn't mind Katya talking to Nadia, that means he's okay with whatever information is being transferred. Hmmm. Right now, I would lean toward "Katya being played" -- I think she believes Irina dead.

I'm glad the "Irenicon" line still seems accurate! Poor crazy Arvin.

Hi darling--

sorry I haven't responded yet; am still writing my own story and am foregoing all J/N until it's finished. However, I am SO looking forward to it!

Thanks,
