A Simple Alias

This is the one where we watch the episode twice. It's also the one where Sark and Lauren are bad (but hot), Sloane is manipulative (what else is new), and Bree (@bleach226) and Jess (@jesspkoehler) decide that Shining Sword is a much better name for a themed pub than for a potential terrorist organization.

MUSIC: If you're streaming and want to line up the scenes with the original feature songs, here are the sound clips.

Sark & Lauren's version of the car chase (start 27:06): Play "Song 2" by Blur starting at 00:00.

Also, if you search YouTube for Alias Blowback Car Chase, there are several options to watch the original version.

Jack comes to see Syd and invites her to dinner (start 41:02): Play "Carnival Town" by Norah Jones starting at 00:00.

This is the one where Quentin Tarantino is back (!) and Vivica A. Fox is guest starring (!)... it's also the one where Marshall and Carrie get married (!!) as she goes into labor (!!!), Sark and Lauren team up (!!!!), and Jess (@jesspkoehler) and Bree (@bleach226) have a new ship to ship.

MUSIC: If you're streaming and want to line up the scenes with the original feature songs, here are the sound clips.

Vaughn and Weiss play pool (start 8:40): Play Johnny Lee Schell's Panhandle Stomp starting the song at 00:00. This song seems to match the DVD.

Sydney and Jack have dinner (start right after credits at 12:32): Play Jonny Lang's Give Me Up Again, starting the song at 00:14.

Sydney and Weiss go on a mission to Athens (start right after Athens title at 17:10): Play The Crystal Method's Starting Over starting the song at about 00:16.

An extra note on the music this episode, Uncovering Alias and TuneFind both report the pool scene and dinner music reversed, so we reported song changes from streaming with both. Upon realizing this and listening back to back for timestamps, it seems it is the same song on the DVD as streaming. While it's not 100% clear what song it is, there are no lyrics and it seems to be Panhandle Stomp. The song during the dinner scene is very clear it's Give Me Up Again which is changed in streaming.

Sydney running (start 01:24): Play Last Chance by Jet starting the song at approximately 00:10. At the club in Milan (start 16:13): Play A/Klimatize by Helix. This one sounds to have been mixed/edited, so we do not have an exact "play from" timestamp here. Song changes around 17:33, to what references say it is Nocturne of the Sea by Stephen James Edwards, but that does not sound correct and we do not have an alternate song identified.
