bijoux January 2, 2016 Share January 2, 2016 From the Social Media thread: I do have to say that I don't think going to university really effects whether someone is good with words or if they are intelligent in the least. For example, I was a very poor kid whose parents were ill or dead so college wasn't really open to me but I still manage to string a sentence together.This argument caught my attention as well. I really have to agree that higher education doesn't necessarily equal somebody becoming better spoken. I know people with degrees who just can't put a sensible paragraph together. Which I have to admit I find puzzling because didn't they have to actually read a decent amount of source material to graduate? 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/1847-small-talk-the-quiver/page/89/#findComment-1839836

I think I'm going to be annoyed, and the guy marries some other chick who turns out to be evil and is maybe played by a bad actress? I've found tv shows are much less frustrating when you can breeze through them on a binge. I maybe wouldn't have hated Arrow S3 as much if I'd binged it. Nah. Still would have loathed it.

tarotx January 2, 2016 Share January 2, 2016 Make your peace that Alias is a bit supernatural. If you can accept that I think you can handle season 4 and 5 (well with foreknowledge about Vaughn at least). 3 is boring in some ways but maybe just because I can't stand when couples want to be together and can't prolonged for a whole season. And then the ending to the Mystery is stupid. But there are good episodes still. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/1847-small-talk-the-quiver/page/89/#findComment-1840349

We're not positive it's her, but it seems likely, and Rambaldi was really smart and also the great power COULD BE the U.S., so she could possibly maybe in the future do bad things, but maybe not to the U.S. because a great power may or may not be the U.S., and also seriously it's a 500-year-old prophecy, but...

I'm probably biased because I loved Lena F-ing Olin (as she was known on TWOP back in the day) on that show. She was such a badass and had amazing chemistry with Victor Garber. I think I shipped Jack and Irina more than Sydney and Vaughn. I know she was bad but that's what made her so fun to watch. After Season 3, Alias never recovered IMO.
