I was totally down for I had no idea of what was happening and I tried to confront him to know what led to such action but he didn't give me listening ears.. I tried getting to know what happened through his family members but that didn't work either and this time was going mad about everything till I searched for help online and I came across Lord Zakuza contact number +1 (740) 573 9483 and I messaged him to let him know what I was going through and Lord Zakuza encouraged and promised to help me with his powerful spell and within 48 hours after contacting Lord Zakuza and followed all his instructions, my attorney called me to get me informed that the divorce case has been cancelled and after 30 minutes, I got a call from my husband pleading and begging for forgiveness and right now we are back together with so much love and care.

Considering how context specific they were Rambaldi either had to be present when they happend, met the participants later or learned them from somebody who was mostly likely the immortal Sloane. <BR/><BR/>Given how Sloane was groomed to follow his quest in the end to become immortal by Conrad, the hidden message on page 47, the sunrise over Subasio etc. It has to be Sloane, and/or perhaps Sydney who passes on some of this knowledge. (Sorry to keep on beating a dead horse with regards to my hypothesis on the ep 17 comment regarding Sloane being the crucial Rambaldi link between the future and the past)<BR/><BR/>Otherwise the entire series makes no sense whatsoever!!! You can argue about the smaller details till the world ends. The main problem is still Rambaldi's prophecies! If you can't rationalise/reconcile Rambaldi's prophecies logically somehow the show doesn't work on any levels except a purely abstract level of profoundly illogical and incoherent entertainment!;) <BR/><BR/><B>What does it matter about baffling minutae like 'Sydney met Emily when' if the unifying Rambaldi Meta-narative is a completely illogical non-sequitor etc?</B><BR/><BR/><I><B>Solutions:</B></I><BR/><B>Time Travel </B>- Most likely given the thematic notion of time throughout the series. Rammyboy goes back in time. The indications implicitly being he doesn't want to or can't go back to his own time, mainly because he has to generate the prophecies and set in motion the long chain of events which lead him to the past.<BR/><B>Rambaldi being able to see into the future with a crystal ball </B> - er, maybe, but lamer than time travel.<BR/><B>Aliens, time travellers</B><BR/>They come along spin young Milo a yarn or two and teach him a few tricks.

(That's what it was; let's not parse words to protect evil people). It had to occur within 2 months of Laura's "death" or Jack would have known she was preganant, and she was placed in prison after her return to Russia, where Nadia was born. Therefore, it had to be very breif. Sloane telling the Dr. that he suspected he might be Sydney's actual father was just a manipulation. He knew that Nadia was somewhere else in the world, and in fact, he had been looking for her ever since he read the manuscript in Tibet (the monumental event). He had been using Omnifam's resources to look her the entire time, based on the information he obtain from the El Dire' machine. <BR/><BR/>This is fun tracing all these threads through the seasons.SKlafthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00319049127450549422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17309641.post-1148679864829738342006-05-26T14:44:00.000-07:002006-05-26T14:44:00.000-07:00As SRG pointed out, Sloane asked "Do you remember ...As SRG pointed out, Sloane asked "Do you remember after your mother died, when you came to live with us?" and Sydney says something to the affect of "I try not to dwell on it" means she did remember living with the Sloane's. Then he tells the story.

If it was only a week, there would be no reason why Sydney would dismiss this as a significant memory. Its one thing to care for the child of a family friend (the Bristows) and another thing entirely to "know" that child once they have grown up, gone to college, and begun a career. Emily may have known her as "the Bristow's little girl," but not really "know" her at all. The nanny simply came on the scene and became a more significant part of her upbringing that she would mention in retelling her childhood. She may 'remember' a period of going to stay at the Sloane house shortly after hearing that her mother died, but have no real recollection of any specific events surrounding it. Sydney did not remember the puzzel when she first saw it, and not even after she put it together. She went to a hypno-therapist seeking to extract that memory. Its easy to 'remember' little snippets of events in the past as a child, and still have no solid recollection of anything that happened concerning that memory. <BR/><BR/>Now regarding that little speech in the cavern, it was Sloane's cryptic way of telling her that people were going to die and there was nothing she could do about it, especially since she was there in the cavern i nthe first place. He told her he knew Marshal had given her clues over the phone, but that it didn't matter, because he accounted for that. He was literally glad she came to the cave because he knew that APO was about to be blown up and he never wanted her to be harmed. As she was saving the stuffed animals, he wondered if she would ever figure out that she cant save everyone. That was the puropose of the illustration. The whole amulet needing the rays of sunshine from over Mt Subasio in order to get have the location of Rambaldi's tomb was way over-dramatized by the old guy, "the Rose" in the prison, but it was a convenient way for the writers to blow up APO, put the others in mortal danger, while Sydney was away. I'm not saying I like it. I'm just saying, "Eh, its explainable."<BR/><BR/>-R.SKlafthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00319049127450549422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17309641.post-1148678424150278132006-05-26T14:20:00.000-07:002006-05-26T14:20:00.000-07:00Well, Izzy was at least 7 or 8 in the final scenes...Well, Izzy was at least 7 or 8 in the final scenes. I wondered the same thing. If they just moved there, where were they before? Had Syd and Vaughn still been working with the CIA after everything? It seemed like they had been since Dixon came to them about Sark. <BR/><BR/>And right, I forgot SRG that Sydney said she blocked it out, so she did remember and she did know, which would make her statements in the past seasons false.

Sydney has a very good memory- she remembered the sundae's she used to eat at the hotel the family stayed at when she was 4 or 5. She remembered the night her mother died. She remembered her father talking on the phone about "taking care of Christmas." She remembered the puzzle. I don't think she would forget staying with Sloane and Emily. And I very much think it is unlike Emily's character to forget raising Sydney for some time- considering how close she is later. She would have said something to Sydney about knowing her. Emily had no reason to believe it was a secret. She didn't know the true nature of SD-6. <BR/><BR/>All we have is what they told us in the finale and what was tiold to us in previous episodes. Not to mention what we know of the characters- specualtion aside, these are holes in the story. What was the significance of Sloane's stuffed animal story? It served no purpose. It just futtled with the story we already knew about Sydney and the nanny. Why would the writers add that in?Girlscouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09488863065118161693noreply@blogger.com
