The Covenant is pure evil, so you've got a good enemy, but it's just not as fun as all the cloak-and-dagger from both sides stuff.
Yeah. I think part of the problem with the Covenant is that it's all so nebulous and hard to pin down. There's no focal point, the way there was with SD-6. And we've lost the element of the countermission, which was part of what made Alias so fun and exciting.
At least we kept all the key cast members when we lost SD-6. I would have been very sad to lose Marshall.
That would have been a tragedy indeed. How much did I love the geek-talk between Marshall and *Sark*, of all people, this past episode? Unfortunately, however, though we kept Dixon in body, his spirit is...somewhere that is not visible on the show. I used to love Dixon. Now he's cardboard.
Lauren is getting so annoying we should really just have Sark stab her in the back and leave her in Sidney's apartment or something.
Hate Lauren. Hate her *so* much. I hate her as much as I hate the S/V pairing, and that's saying something. I'm sticking to my theory that Sark is totally playing her and is just waiting for the opportune moment to strike. And well, at least there was no Lauren in this most recent episode. Small mercies, right? (There was, however, Naked!Sloane-and-Barnett, and I *really* could have done without that. More shirtless David Anders and less shirtless Ron Rifkin, please.)
