Okay, am I insane?

brinshannaraSo... wait a minute. They wouldn't have just had Lena Olin on the show for like, 30 seconds of airtime or less. She wasn't in the guest credits in the beginning. That reflection looked kind of, well, fake. We didn't see her lips moving with her words, either.
I'm thinking that was all stock footage or cut scenes, with a bit of new dialogue, perhaps, recorded elsewhere? It just feels very pieced together. And if she wasn't actually in the episode, she doesn't need to be credited, does she? I didn't see the end credits, nor the previews, but... am I the only one who thought that?
Thought the episode was fantastic, by the way. All the Syd/Vaughn scenes. I loved them. I loved how they went to all these old scenes. The one in the blood bank. The one where he's trying to get her to pass the lie detector. The Korea one. My heart *ached*. My eyes watered, I cried, it was just so overwhelming. I laughed out loud at "You just threw your phone into the Pacific" line, and then harder when he added "twice!" to it.
This is the Alias I fell madly in love with. Twists, secrets, real character-driven stuff. The only thing we were missing was Vaughn calling Syd at her old house, posing as someone asking for Joey's Pizza, while Francie and Will and Syd were all hanging out.
And maybe Sark being one of the associates Irina had to go meet, or something, and having all this wind up being related to Rambaldi.
All in all, I loved it. Favourite episode of Season 5. One of my favourite episodes since the end of Season 2, actually.
My poor heart is all "VAUGHVAUGHVAUGHOMGIRINAVAUGHN!" and so I think I'm going to go to bed, now.
Tomorrow: Bianca in the last few minutes of AMC, apparently. And the forecasted snowstorm has begun, so my getting the car for Friday night isn't looking fantastic, meaning a long-ass commute out to NC's for dinner, and back. Eh, should be fun anyways.
Bed now.
