I know some Alias fans don't like that episode (Colorblind) but it's one of my favs because it's so emotionally gripping. The acting in that episode is incredible, both John and JG were so great. Her response when she finds out he killed Danny feels so real and true, you just feel SOOOO bad for her but also for him because his character was vicitimized by The Alliance in such a horrible way.

While Ricky Gervais comes in a close second (Facade is one of my all time favorite eppys), I'm going to agree w/ Robby that Quentin has been my favorite so far. He plays his cocky character so perfectly, and there is a lot of mystery surrounding Cole that always makes him interesting to watch. He also has some of the best dialogue w/ the characters...I love it when he's threatening Sloane and Arvin says "I can't be the first person to have a hard time taking you seriously", it always cracks me up. Also when he confronts Sark in s3 (After Six) and says something like "your hair...that's cooool!" <BR/><BR/>I honestly can't remember guest start that I didn't like, they've all played their characters so well. Christian Slater did a great job as did Ethan Hawk, Vivica, Isabella, all of them!! I have a (not-so-secret) dream to guest star on an eppy...since this is the last season and I have yet to become a Hollywood A-list celebrity I guess it's not gonna happen...sigh...SRMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01576968119404544145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17309641.post-1138818919603884772006-02-01T10:35:00.000-08:002006-02-01T10:35:00.000-08:00I enjoyed Christian Sleighter's role in season 2, ...I enjoyed Christian Sleighter's role in season 2, where he played Neil Caplin.

The episdoes in which he appears are my favorite of all five seasons to date. He is so over-the-top cocky, and hair-trigger psycho that every scene with him fills with uncertainty. The fact of his release from U.S. custody having never been explained adds to his mystery. <BR/>Plus, he appears to be one bad dude, being able to handle Sydney's best moves with relative ease. <BR/>McKenas Cole! Bring him back!<BR/>-R.SKlafthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00319049127450549422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17309641.post-1138816124705773062006-02-01T09:48:00.000-08:002006-02-01T09:48:00.000-08:00One of my favorite guest stars was Joel Grey as th...One of my favorite guest stars was Joel Grey as the Sloane Clone. I thought it was great they were able to get Joel to take on the role. Rifkin and Grey look enough similar that it worked. I also thought it fun that both Rifkin and Grey had played the role of the Master of Ceremonies in Cabaret. Grey originated the role and won a Tony in 1966 (he also won the Oscar for his role in the film version!) Then Rifkin played it in the revival and won a Tony in 1998 for the role!
