Review of The Coup

Alias: The Coup (2002)
Season 1, Episode 14
8/10
Introducing Julian Sark
6 March 2012
Warning: Spoilers
Following on from the attack on SD-6 there is another attack on a different criminal organisation based in Hong Kong; normally this would be a cause for celebration bit it means there is another player in the game who is rapidly collecting Rambaldi artefacts and nobody seems to know who is running this operation. One possible lead is a member of K-Directorate; in order to get information off him Sydney and Dixon must head to Vegas to plant a bug on him. Shortly before heading to Vegas Sydney learns that her friend Francie's fiancé had an affair a mere two months before; she intends to deal with it later but when she is in Vegas she sees Francie and Charlie heading to the casino wedding chapel; she must stop them... it is a good thing she'd told them she'd be in Vegas!

This was an entertaining episode; I loved Dixon's Jamaican disguise; the dreadlocks were a great touch! There was some decent action although I have no idea how that one guard managed to miss Sydney with an AK-47 while she was dangling in the open! I am pleased that Francie's subplot appears to be over as it always seemed a bit of a distraction from the main story; at least Will's subplot has an element of danger to it. This episode is notable for the introduction of David Ander's as Julian Sark, The Man's negotiator. I look forward to seeing more of this interesting new character in future episodes.
