Smart, Specialty Professors Watch Out!

This seems to be the theme on Alias. First it was Christian Slater as a California scientist and now it's this woman who looks familiar, but can't quite place her. Dumb, regular people you are safe, the evil-doers of the world can do without you.

Again another good episode with some twists. I wasn't quite sure how Jack was so easily convinced not to kill Sloane. He told Sloane to give him one good reason not to kill him. Sloane mumbled some nonsensical stuff and Jack backed off. I thought Jack was more of a bad ass.

Don't know how "Arvin Clone" got all the Rimbaldi documents and I'm still amazed on how Rifken and Grey (the two sloanes) look remarkably a like in an eerie sort of way. I still think the original Sloane often resorts to creepy child molester lurking guy when I think he is supposed to be acting only slightly creepy.

The big floating ball thing wasn't that cool to me because didn't they have that a few season ago that exploded with water and almost killed Vaughn?

I'm not convinced that Sloane is so surprised by his clone and that this is all a set up for Sloane 1 to get back to Rimbaldi and pull the old switch-aroo. Until next time....

We have our new Katie!

For those of you who have not watched the Real World/Road Rules Challenge in the past that is a reference to Katie who was constantly thrown into "The Gauntlet" and always survived. This is the same thing that seems to be happening to "Scott the Body" on American Idol.

If you recall from my post last week, the results show should only be watched on TiVo. Let me recap my American Idol experience:

  1. Simon wore the exact same Gap T-Shirt that he always wear (Fast Forward)
  2. Seacrest Videography (zzzzzzzzzzzz---Fast Forward)
  3. Group Sing-Along (zzzzzzzzzzzz---Fast Forward)
  4. Paula stands up, applauds, shows off outfit from the thrift store (gawk, laugh, fast forward)

Spoiler Alert

5. Surprised Scott is in bottom three (don't get me wrong he belongs there, but not based on last night.)

6. Anwar goes home. Not surprised he was in bottom three but surprised he went home.

One last note. I think when you get kicked off the show you should get to sing whatever the hell you want. Or at least any song that you've sung. Thank god they put this show back at a half hour.

Edelson Out!

I agree with many of your comments but can't believe you thought Carrie should be in the bottom 3..... If you evaluate the difficulty of each song she clearly sang the most challenging song of the night. Randy is the only one of the three that really recognizes these qualities. You should review it again on TIVO!!!!

Generally I think that Carrie is a better singer and chooses the better songs. HOWEVER if you have one or even two bad performances there could be forgiveness but she has done poorly a few times in a row now. That says maybe she can't handle a variety of songs and is only good in one genre which makes her marketability less.
