Jennifer Garner talks about how she prepared for that scene and how it was shot. If you watch the commentary on the season finale of 2, it shows an alternative ending in which Sydney cries more.

JG said that JJ didn't want Sydney to cry once she learned about the missing 2 years, but JG said she had a very hard time not crying, that she couldn't believe this was happening to Sydney, that she was losing everything- 2 years and Vaughn. She said it was very, very emotional for her.

This was fun! As I was reading the winners I was going "oh, yeah! I forgot that!" Some of what I picked wound up in the list, but a lot was different which is totally fun! Each of us has a different perception of the "best" or our favorites! It's all good though!

On to Season 2!! And now I'm wanting to watch the whole series through again, but don't have time right now!!!

Wow I thought I'd be the only person to vote for Syd finding out Shephard killed Danny as the tearjerker! That whole episode is such an emotional masterpiece with excellent acting both by JG and John Hannah, it gets me everytime. I'm hoping to get the s2 votes to you sometime in the next couple days, looking forward to it! :)

I love the Sinead O'Connor sequence. I've watched it oh so many times. Sinead is kind of a nutter but she really has the pipes and I give 2 thumbs up to this choice of music for that particular sequence.

This is a pivotal moment in Sydney's life. She has barely had time to process the information that Daddy doesn't sell airplane parts (and never has), and she has already made up her mind that she is going to do whatever she can to bring down SD-6 because the patriot in her heart knows it's the right thing to do (okay revenge may be a factor as well). There is no one in her life that she can consult with at this point, since she has no idea that Jack is a double agent, she has no legitimate CIA contacts, and Will and Francie don't have a clue. She's doing this on her own. She's already juggling 2 completely separate lives and now she is going to take on a 3rd life without hesitation. The woman wreaks of confidence, competence, guts, determination, you name it. And she's smokin' hot to boot.

The Sinead sequence was a great moment in a great debut to a great show. How a show like this can be shut down in 4.77 seasons while ER (don't even get me started about Big Brother, Survivor, etc..)goes on for a generation is beyond me.

lhaaheim, I'm with you on the 7th Heaven thing, but I'm willing to let that stinker slide because my Mom enjoys it. I staunchly defend my Mom's right to watch bad TV. Now,if it came down to a choice between another season of Alias or a stay of execution for 7th Heaven and I had to cast the deciding vote....

"Mom, here's a nice little spy show I think you might like"

I have to agree with everyone about everything here. I didn't send in any picks because I would have had to rewatched S1 another several times to give my exhaustive, accurate and truthful picks. And even then I don't know that I could have narrowed it down to one each. I just didn't have enough time this week!

I heart my bloggers!!

Um, I think all mom's like 7th Heaven. Mine does. Weird, what is that? It's soooo cheesy!

Argh! I could only come up with my pics because I had just finished re-watching Season 1. I haven't done so with Season 2 in a while! This is going to test my memory! And while I would love to, I don't think I can re-watch Season 2 before Friday...unless I skip work. No, no..I can't do that.
