Heh, you can't remember which sister is which. This doesn't surprise me. I don't remember their names either, really.
Let's take a look at the three actresses who played the Derevko sisters:
Lena Olin, Swedish
Isabella Rosselini, Italian
Sonia Braga, Brazilian
What. the. fuck. ?.
And please, please explain to me how Lena Olin and Ron Rifkin managed to produce an Argentinian child? How? I mean, those choices were some of the most bizarre casting decisions I've ever seen. They were hilarious to anyone with half a brain... although the plots from third season on (when Abrams got bored with Alias/started on Lost) implied that their audience's IQ dropped dramatically. Sydney erased her own memory? And didn't, for one second, think that a wiped Sydney wouldn't do anything and everything in her power to find out why? What a waste of a season! I did like Melissa George, although I think I'm one of the few. And more Sark time = happy, lusting bzoppa.
Thank you for pointing out the director's creative move. At least they're aware that the accents were bad ;)
I do not watch The Wire! It is something I plan to remedy as I've heard it is certainly the most awesome ever. I just haven't gotten around to it. I see you and queenofthorns wax eloquent about them when new eps air, and each time it makes me want to power up my season-finding skills. But I've been so out of tv lately I haven't taken the time. I do watch The Shield, which I think is pretty awesome, but The Wire slipped under my radar. Maybe because it takes place in Baltimore, Maryland, which is very immediate and real to my life. (I had an ex who lived in Baltimore and went on a few dates out there.) Perhaps if I pretend it's another city, heh.
If you insist that it's a horrible shame that I am not firing up The Wire, like, immediately, I might step on it.
Oy. I get inspired the night before a weekend tournament...
