The best thing EVER said, 'Sydney needed Vaughn. Michael needs Fiona. Even Shawn needs Gus. Annie needs to need Auggie." They need to get a move on it. I LOVED LOVED ALIAS and own all seasons on DVD. I want some Syd action or flirting not this confused chick. She's smart but is missing the sexy the whole BEN thing is and has been RIDICULOUS....
@Marilyn Actually it's all Piper. Lips and all! :)

I loved Annie and her covert company from the beginning, but I'll confess this week was getting a little confusing--thank you for your comments on Joan and the jury--I thought I had fallen asleep then awakened again when it was almost over. And as for the gun---well, come on now, everybody!-does that rough and tumble little thing, who floors huge mean looking men, weighed down with guns, stand there waiting to be shot, while thinking, "Darn! I should have asked them for a gun!" Anyhow, there are always plenty lying around on the ground when she's through!
@Joe Syria its not a matter of research. its a matter of entertainment. This isn't reality, it's a TV show. Plus other agents on the show carry guns. Jai, Ben, etc. Why can't Annie? Eyal even asked if she had been issued a gun yet, implying it is something they do. Why the hold up?

A CIA OP doesn't carry a gun. Easiest way to blow your cover. People should do research before they write articles online.

I didn't see it but sound like it was better then most CIA show
Actually, it was three times last season that Annie was dead if someone with a gun didn't save her. The Ben in the Pilot, Lavin in Zurich episode, and Jai in the London episode.
This series is in desperate need of the same sort of long term planning that makes "The Good Wife" and "Castle" so good. In both of those series the relationships between the characters have been laid out way beyond the current episode, and the writers are doing a good job of making the individual episodes worth watching.
If Annie isn't going to carry a gun, the writers need to be clever enough to find ways for her to succeed with out being saved by someone that has one. The reason CIA agents don't carry guns is to avoid the gun blowing their cover. They are in long term assignments living a double life in the same episode, so to speak. They may go years making reports, gaining the trust of the group they are infiltrating, and so forth. It would take a writer way better than any on this series, or m

Thanks to one of the comments, or some mention in the article last week I started watched Alias. First season was terrific. Now i am no longer interested in the covert affairs. Specially not a 2.5 rated episode.
