Sydney: I'm not going to let anything happen to you.
Will: I know that. Wait, what did you think I was asking?
Sydney: I was just being supportive in case you thought you might...
Will: Die?
Sydney: It's not important. What were you asking?
Will: I was asking you to be my best man.
Sydney: Really?
Will: Yeah... Before I realized you have so little faith in me. You thought I was going to die?
Sydney: No! . . You want me to be your best man?

****This Comment May Contain Spoilers about The Last 4 Seasons****

The 2 minor goofs about the scene of Moscow & the bulk of the ID-information's text (which you can read at the goofs' page) made me remember more big & important holes had been done during the whole previous episodes :

_ The trick of clinging to the big magnet by a piece of iron while the magnet is not on (after the fall of the car) is such a dull trick because it hadn't no magnetic power at all in that very moment !! (Season 5)_ (Sydney) was working for the APO and the CIA while her pregnancy .. Well.. The real silly remark here is : did the CIA pay her more or less money to work in this condition ?! (Season 5) _Auntie (Elena Derevko) is going to blowup one Russian city so she can takeover the world ! ..OK ! But the thing is that she was executing the evil effective plan while she was there ! Without an exit !! As she was destroying the city including herself ! So: who would takeover the world after ??? (Season 4) _ The entire terrorists of the world are just merry people having their desks in nightclubs ! (All the Seasons)_ The whole of APO is paralyzed by bacterial virus while (Sydney) in a coffin under the ground in Cuba as (Marshall) is the ONLY agent who could rescue her.. this is so well for sure as pure thrill until you ask : doesn't the APO has any other agents outside it beside the clumsy (Marshall) ?! , or the whole CIA has any other in Cuba itself ?! (Season 4)_ (Francie)'s double lives in (Sydney)'s house for a long time !? Regarding that the program of cloning can make a double who has the same image not by all means the same memory . so how the hell could that double manage to be the same person all that time without even one mistake ! .. It's only the intimation of not drinking a café which uncovered her ! (Season 2) _ (Sydney) , (Nadia) , and (Rachel) all the three were agents for one intelligence agency then discovered that they were working for the other side !! "Too much of something is bad enough" said by:(Spice girls) ! (Season: 1 , 4 , 5)_ (Jack Bristow) is an agent for the CIA who had a wife had been discovered as a spy for the other side .. And he still working for the CIA !?? He must be the stupidest agent in history to have a spy right in his home for all those years ! , or the intelligence must be stupid to has him after that , or maybe we are the most stupid to believe something like that or at least not to complain about it !! (Season 1)_ Mr.Rambaldi made such a genuine devise which can (by the DNA !!) define where would the person who has that DNA be in the world !!?? so they found (Nadia) by this absurd way ! , actually it was one of the most foolish Sci-Fi's ideas I've ever seen and it was so easy to write such a crap instead of making it more coherent ! (Season 3)_ (Sloane) the most wanted most dangerous terrorist on earth became Mr. world peace and an agent for the CIA ! Moreover the head of their black operations !!!!!!!!! (Season 3 , 4)

It's so silly I know .. I mean to bring it up like this !!.. Because don't you ever think while watching Alias ..It's all about that .. Having a good time to ease up on your brain ! But to tell you the painful truth .. Alias sometimes, and as one show I loved once, made itself too silly to watch !
