WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?! *laughs* Okay, NOW I get the badness, the utter inexplicably ridiculousness of it. I can't believe it. The worst? Has to be the complete character assassination of Irina Derevko. SICK. Oh yes, now she's evil and wants to kill everyone and take over the world because she loves power sooooo much and all because of fucking Rambaldi. Who I have to say, is probably Alias's greatest flaw to me. I've never understood what was so special about this guy especially if the only thing he did besides predict the future is cause you to live forever which cmon, that is so cliche and so not even worth it (see Sloane's end). If you're going to use that as series long arc for the baddies, I'd like, as the audience, to actually get why it's so important. But whatever. I'm almost glad they "killed" her (she can't be killed like that in my mind) because it literally shows how they killed her character. Ugh.

Then how the FUCK can you kill Jack? I had predicted Irina's death but his? Totally unnecessary. And anyways, Jack cannot die. He must have taken some sort of pill...it's already saved two people's lives. I just can't believe they would do that. I did *love* his last scene with Sydney because they can never take away how much they love each other and how beautiful and emotional that love is. I loved the flashbacks too, definitely the best part of the finale by FAR. But seriously, Jack cannot die. And he didn't even get a SCENE with Irina. Although I suppose it's for the best since she wasn't herself.

I suppose it wasn't as bad as my worst case scenario which was they find some way to completely negate ALL of the past Jack/Irina and Irina and Sydney stuff and make it so it was all a lie. And then kill them all. At least Irina said she still loved Sydney which is definitely the truth. But it was pretty much emptiness by that time. Blah. It's just it was SO BAD that it becomes laughable. I just couldn't understand Irina's motivation at all and that's unacceptable. I don't know what the writers were smoking or what they're explanation is but I think they are complete idiots for doing that.

Then the desert island was LAME. Ugh. They think that will make it all better again and make it a happy ending? Blech, shoot me now. I looooove paradise beach settings but it was all empty. I suppose a Syd/Vaughn shipper would be happy about it and I'm glad Sydney's at least in a happy place I guess although I'd rather see her doing some spying. Cute naming her son Jack but it just reminded me *more* of Harry Potter where all the people I love die and it's like naming your kid after them will make it all better and instead it's still kind of lame. I did like that the girl showed potential to be a spy. You can't get rid of the SpyFam! Muahaha.

Besides that...Marshall was really cute? I remember he had a few cute scenes with Jack which is one of my new favorite relationships. I adore them. I really wish this show had more quirky characters like my darling Office ones. Rachel and Tom were like the personification of that problem for me so I didn't care about them. Sark looked yummy? The slash was always sadly lacking on the show but Vaughn/Weiss and Vaughn/Sark were always my favorites (Jack and Sloane had potential but I just couldn't go there) so the end fight scene between the latter was fun.

But yeah, overall extremely disappointing finale. I tried as hard as I could to not expect much but it still leaves a bitter taste. I am going the pretend it never happened route but I just have to let out all my anger at it so I can get over it. The SpyRents are still insanely pretty and rule all. They were just too good for the writers. I'm thinking they found out where they lived and after seeing what they wrote this crap, took them all out but left it to air so everyone would think they were dead and they could live on their own SpyIsland of Love without anyone bothering them. And Sydney knows and visits with the family. Or they could go on more missions together again too with my ideal finale. So fuck this shit to the finale. I still love the show overall (again with the ignorance of the finale) and will hopefully make some vids for it sometime in the future. Because Sydney and Jack and Irina are too awesome to ever be destroyed.

My new desktop of pretty that makes everything beautiful and happy again:

Now to watch vids! They make everything all better :D
