| Ricky Gervais in Alias - PART 1 |
 |
Ricky doing some quality serious acting. I
wonder how many takes these scenes took him
to do without giggling. Sorry about the
annoying subtitles.
Episode summary (s3e15):
Daniel Ryan (Ricky Gervais), a freelance bomb
maker whose bombs are impossible to defuse,
destroys a bank in Belfast to get the
attention of The Covenant: if they do not
make a deal with him in 48 hours, he'll bomb
a target in the US to attract buyers from
other terrorist groups. The CIA picks up Ryan
and sets up an elaborate scheme to try to
convince him that they are The Covenant. Ryan
is still sceptical, but Lisenker appears and
vouches for them. Ryan agrees to the deal if
Sark will meet his associate on a certain
flight to get the details. Lisenker agrees.
To get the real Sark on the flight, the CIA
spreads word of Ryan's offer; it works, and
Vaughn reports that Sark is on board.
However, during the flight, Ryan's associate
never shows up. Trying to find out why Ryan
wanted Sark on the plane, Syd calls Sloane -
who is sleeping with Dr. Barnett. Sloane
reveals that Ryan's brother was killed by the
Covenant. Seeing the man's picture, Syd
realizes that she was the one who killed
Ryan's brother, to make them believe she was
Julia Thorne. On the plane, Vaughn arrests
and handcuffs Sark. Vaughn finds the bomb and
tries to deactivate it following Marshall's
instructions over the phone, but he has to
free Sark for help. Syd goes to Ryan,
confessing that she is CIA. Trying to relate,
she tells him how the Covenant tortured her
to try to convince her she was Julia Thorne.
Syd begs Ryan to deactivate the bomb and save
the man she loves, who is on the plane. Ryan
seems to understand, asking for a phone to
dial in a code. However, he lied: the code
activates a timer on the bomb on the plane -
and on the plasma charge in Marshall's
office! Ryan knows that Julia Thorne killed
his brother, and this is his revenge. The CIA
starts to evacuate their building: Jack
approaches Ryan, choking him until he's
nearly lifeless. He revives Ryan, demanding
the real deactivation codes and a shaken Ryan
agrees. On the plane, with the danger from
the bomb over, Sark attacks Vaughn, but
Vaughn fights back and knocks Sark out. Sark
is turned over to the French authorities, and
Vaughn returns. Finding Syd crying in the CIA
garage, they embrace.

| Zap Alias Prototype (Body) |
 |
This video shows a first look at the body of
the Zap Alias Prototype in Maumee, Ohio. It
sounds like there is no drivetrain in there
yet and that it will be added later in
California. The engineer said the Alias will
likely cost about $33,000, go up to 100 miles
per charge, and have a top speed of 100mph.
It could be on sale as early as next year,
most likely classified as a motorcycle
because of its three wheels.
Zap has a long history of making a lot of
promises and CGI images of new models that
they haven't delivered. At least this time
they made a prototype body shell. Hopefully
we'll see a fully running prototype soon, and
an actual vehicle for sale soon after that
(hopefully it's not like the obvio which made
it to prototype stage but never went on
sale).
