Yeah, he's in episode 9, which is called The Horizen. Apparently, the nimrod in charge of releasing pics, ect was a bit off. Idiots.

I swear ABC/Alias just can NOT do anything right with regard to this.

LOL I know. Now people are suggesting that ABC and/or the show could change the episode order... LOL

I guess we'll have to watch to see what date MV airs.

Again, what's the point IF Vaughn is just dream!Vaughn? Gawd, this show is stupid!

Oh, come now... do you really think ABC/Alias is that stupid? Oh, yeah... that's right... they brought him back for DREAM SEQUENCES. They are that stupid.

Seriously though, they probably did this deliberately in case they couldn't get MV back for later.

But having said that, let's discuss the hows/whys of Sydney dreaming about Vaughn... see, based on the writing and JG's acting, I thought Sydney was over Vaughn, so, um, why is she dreaming about him? Oh, yeah... because fans got pissed. They thought they could ignore Vaughn and people would do too. Such morons.

Oh, I know... What's going to happen? All of a sudden a big light bulb goes off over Sydney's head and she realizes "Oh! I just lost the love of my life; the father of my baby! I better act like I care!", then all of a sudden we get the dreams.

I mean spare me. That kind of crap just doesn't work. If you couldn't man up and bring him back for REAL, why even bother? Especially when it's clear you never intended for it to happen? We barely see Sydney going after Dean as a way for revenge on what he did to Vaughn; we get absolutely nothing. I guess expecting JG to act all in love/grief-stricken over her real life boyfriend was just too much for the writers. Either that or she just wasn't able to convey it. Which could be possible.

Blah.

LOL It would be. Why the writers are so stupid is beyond me. Oh, wait... they're covering their bases in case MV doesn't want to come back... Idiots.

I hate what this show has become...

I second that.

It's a shame really. It was such a great show even when it wasn't the greatest (Seasons 3/4) it was still good. But this year...this has to be the worse by far and the numbers are showing it. You'd think that TPTB would see that and fight tooth and nail to get MV back. Do they think it's just a coincidence that the numbers drop after they drop MV? I just can't wait to see what the numbers are going to be for the episode he's going to be on. Maybe then they'll see what a gigantic mistake it was letting him go. There is the possiblity that he could make it back. With JG going on maturnity leave soon...Alias is going to be on a hiatus. From what I've seen, MV's movie is shooting until the beginning of Feb...we could see him back for the last part of the season if they are smart enough to get him back!

You seriously think that?

I hear ya!

I missed the first few minutes so I didn't get to see the professor part.

I did like the part about the crib too. That was cute.


No Kidding! Dude...when Dean was telling her about Vaughn and that "they" have plans for her...I would of totally stuck around at least 5 more minutes before running off to Nadia. Seriously, if Nadia was waking up, she could wait 5 mintues so I could find out what the heck is going on! Sydney said before that she wouldn't be safe until she got Dean. Well, she got Dean, found out that he's not the power man, and that "they" made him kill Vaughn (BASTARDS!) and have plans for her. She seemed really concerned.

Best part...the preview for the next eppy with SARK!
