Still, fresh on the heels of Danny's slaughter because of her own true confession session, she quickly disowned Jack for lying to her ("I never sold airplane parts"). The intellectual side of her had to know that many of Jack's lies were solely for her benefit. <BR/><BR/>She understood the concept well enough when she was the one doing the lying, but had a tough time accepting lies from the recipient's point of view. For that reason, she was often unduly harsh with Jack, who really took a beating from Syd on occasion, but took it stoically, as only Jack could.<BR/><BR/>Syd heroically accepted the role of the protector (with mixed results), but she totally rejected the idea of being protected by Jack. <BR/><BR/>Yes, GS, I think Sydney's approach to parenting would turn out to be very similar to Jack's. With Jack, it was the curse of knowing too much. That knowledge now rests with Sydney, which is why she and Vaughn are hiding out at the beach. IMO, of course.Page48https://www.blogger.com/profile/09728079057077761364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17309641.post-34366316663652658802007-07-24T13:13:00.000-07:002007-07-24T13:13:00.000-07:00OOOH!

If Jack could send the guy to set the explosives around the house, why would he not have him extract the operations manual before it blew up? That's unlike Jack to be so strategically reckless.<BR/><BR/>-R.SKlafthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00319049127450549422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17309641.post-89610786204648835112007-07-24T13:03:00.000-07:002007-07-24T13:03:00.000-07:00That's a pretty good point, GS.

It is a curiosity, and I believe we all have entertained the idea that Isabell could continue the series as she goes through the development of becoming a spy in the tradition of her Mommy. I think it would be a great way to continue the story.<BR/><BR/>-R.SKlafthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00319049127450549422noreply@blogger.com
