This is a great episode for sure, which proves that (Alias) was one of the best. But the main problem is that this episode was in the wrong place!
Well, everybody knows that the first 2 seasons were top-notch not as action, but as a TV show altogether. However, after that, almost everything went down. Mainly because the withdrawal of the power to convince, by any dramatic logic, even in a fictional work like this. So you'll see things about (Sydney) and her amnesia for 2 years, and then her coming back to the intelligence so fast with that condition!, (Sloane) and his story as someone who works FOR the American government, being that international humanitarian world peace kind of guy!!, and further than that; the too long, too far, too silly enigma of (Rambaldi). So any solid ground that you would ever build your relationship with that show on was blown away and gone with the wind of depreciation, maybe by that awful desire to put the show on air by any possible or impossible way, and whatever the costs were.
But here, it was a good surprise to watch that exceptional work, thanks to the script of (R.P. Gaborno) and (Christopher Hollier) as a nice thriller movie in 45 minutes episode. You'll find every thing that can glue you on your chair, not even having the ability to blink; just like the old times in the first (Alias). There are that compact deception to make the terrorist talk about the bomb which he invented, then the plane situation which had (Vaughn) and (Sark) on a flight with a ticker bomb, and for the very first time ever they work together to breakdown the explosion, then the fest of twists at the end: the terrorist's lie about the bomb, his must fulfill revenge for the murder of his own brother who was killed by (Sydney), the big finish with the surprise of another bomb in the intelligence's building itself, and the code to break the two bombs now is in the head of that angry suicidal terrorist!
Yes, everything ended happily, and the bombs stopped before one second like all the James Bond's holly constitution, and you'll find yourself yelling: "Hey, it's the golden age of Alias again"!.. But sorry, till the end of that season, maybe there is just the next episode (Taken) as another yet last exceptional one. Because after that, the anarchy is in business again, as the ultimate ruler of those bad days of such a show.
