Sydney and Vaughn || Alias 3x01-02 "I was so in love with you, it nearly killed me"

"I was so in love with you, it nearly killed me"

[@HisSnuggleBear18]

His marriage pissed me off. Dude waited 6 months before he moved on. Like he barely dated Lauren before he married her.

[@itzzy1859]

BARELY. barely. the writing is weird... like everyone just agrees that he waited long enough lol what? in what world?

[@myran788]

Yeah it would have been more realistic if she had been missing for 4 years or something..

[@Fairychamber]

I do hate to admit it, but Vaughn did love Lauren, but not in the way that he loved Sydney. I think that Vaughn knew that he wouldn’t be able to love like that again. But he also knew that he had to move on with his life, which in truth is never easy. When you look at what we have learned about what Vaughn went through, after Sydney died, we realize a few things about him. After spreading Sydney’s ashes at sea, he left the CIA. He did not want to be in a place surrounded by people and places that reminded him constantly of Sydney. Vaughn even confessed to Sydney what he felt when he lost her; “I was so in love with you, it nearly killed me.” He also left the country for six months, to try and escape his misery that he was in. But finally he convinced himself that he needed to move on. In the back of his mind, I think he knew that he while he did have feelings for Lauren as he began dating her, but he could never love her like he loved Sydney. This may be one reason that he ended up marrying her so quickly after losing Sydney. He wanted a distraction from the misery and depression he had when thinking of Sydney. Looking back on his own words to Sydney; “After you died, I used to talk to you. Like you were still around… Literally out loud… Whole conversations about… About nothing… The weather…Should I get a new car? Should I have another drink? And one day, you started answering. I mean I could hear you in my head like you were right next to me Sydney. And although rationally I knew I was a guy who stayed up nights drinking, talking to his dead girlfriend, still I couldn’t stop” He needed something and someone to help him get over his lose and to help him get back on his feet. from - romancingalias.blogspot.com/2013/09/vaughns-personal-battle-lauren-vs-sydney.html

[@Elly-z7q]

@@Fairychamber It's been a long while since I watched the show but I still would have believed him getting together with Lauren and marrying her if Lauren was someone he knew before Sydney... like imagine how much angst there would have been if he and Lauren were engaged and then they broke up and then after Sydney "dies" they ran into each other again and rekindled those old feelings (and you Laurens orders to seduce him... that was a thing right? and I'm not misremembering?) but this time they were ready for marriage?

[@bjt1705]

I kinda get it though - I didn't, for years!!! But now I do. He was weak. Obviously, he loved Sydney so much, but he could not be on his own. He went from Alice to Sydney and then pretty much straight to Lauren. He just had no idea how to be on his own and go through the pain.

[@lakesiajohnson3404]

SERIOUSLY I AM SO GLAD THEY PICKED JENNIFER FOR THE ROLE IN ALIAS EVEN THOUGH SHE WAS A NOBODY BACK THEN BUT LOOK AT HOW GOOD OF CHOICE THEY MADE! LOVE YOU JEN!

[@RAM243VALDEZ]

she was known for on Renee's landing and Mr Magoo before alias she was well known for her acting and her Broadway acting shows for stunt and her choreography

[@RAM243VALDEZ]

Lakesia Johnson wrong she got noticed on spin city and Renas landing. Mr magoo if you knew who she was way before it's just u never noticed her. but true die hard knew

[@r0sy67]

@@RAM243VALDEZ I watched all the episodes from seasons one until they called it a wrap 🥲 and I have so much admiration and respect for Jennifer Garner. For me, they couldn’t have picked a better actress to portray the role of Sydney Bristow. She really put herself into her character and was willing to do all the physical training and stunts to make it more convincing. I simply love her self discipline and passion for acting!

[@whosasking9094]

She was on Felicity as Noel's long-distance ex .she did a couple episodes titled "Thanksgiving" and "the fugue". That was during the 1st season! And then a couple more might've been the 4th season JJ Abrams does shows pretty well apparently!

[@gabelogan5877]

I believe the role was written for her. She guest starred on Abrams previous show Felicity

[@drlee2]

It still pisses me off that Garner didn't win an Emmy for this role. When this show first aired back in 2001, I remember thinking this woman should WIN an Emmy! I was certain she'd win for Season 1 and was SORELY disappointed she did not. Then the voters had another chance with Season 2 and screwed it up again. I don't think she was nominated after that. That was around the time I gave up on the Emmys!

[@sxnder]

She was nominated many years in a row and won the Golden Globe once

[@Davido50]

She was gorgeous when younger:).. an very attractive still at 47. More importantly ..shes a great person & mother.

[@javisegoviamadrigal5403]

She was nominated 4 years. She was the favourite to win the Emmy for the "Pilot" in the first season and for this episode in the third season. But both years she was stolen by Janey (I love her, don't misunderstand me) for "The west wing".

[@heyisforhorses2476]

I’m rewatching it right now and couldn’t agree more

[@jenncoughlin5318]

Now stana katic is getting Emmy snub

[@leebeef]

I love Sydney's line: "Don't use rational thought as a defence with me".

[@Dparish24]

Amazing performance by Jennifer Garner, easily her best throughout the series. The way she’s whispering while yelling to hold back and avoid making a scene, and convey such heartbreak and feeling of betrayal.

[@Userinterfaceexperience]

The lines are so good.

[@redreaper2752]

Couldn’t agree more and it pisses me off that they changed the song for streaming because it’s so jarring that I can’t even enjoy the scene in the same way.

[@inthemix7640]

this show was so powerful. I loved the characters, the fights. I loved the music and the tension. it was good.

[@mickbeth2011]

I laugh at the part when Vaughns like “I don’t regret moving on with my life”, I always yell at the screen “oh you will!”

[@mehrsakhalooghi]

😂😂

[@nikw94]

I miss this show so much, the action the drama, the twists. They don't make shows like this anymore

[@JixieDyeAuthor]

They do now. His Dark Materials. You want twists, action and drama..... Trust me, its epic

[@maichka15]

@@JixieDyeAuthor yeah but it's fantasy and based on a trilogy of books. If you want the spy-craft rush try The Blacklist's first 3 season. It's heavily influenced by Alias too.

[@josephpercy8772]

[@MAKEUPyourmindXO]

Jennifer Garner's acting in this scene is so incredible. So much emotion.

[@BlackGirlMarvel]

The crinkle in her nose when she says "closure" just shows the disgust! Amazing acting.

[@embee3178]

that's some fucking good acting when she rants at him. Just superb.

[@heathers4692]

Vaughn's speech breaks my heart every time. 20 years later, I still have it memorized

probably best scene in ALIAS ...JG KILLED this scene so much emotion

[@thankunext1625]

i used to be so into this show omg lol.. still am tbh

[@tnat9212]

Daaammmnnn. This is still so freaking iconic. I love this ship. This season was so painful (& season 5). My heart!!

God this scene gives me goosebumps. The heartache... I just can’t. Amazing acting

[@kristopherwickline3940]

Jennifer Garner is such an amazing actress!

[@pageluv7016]

I hate it when he said that he don’t regret moving on with his life. It’s really difficult to hear someone you love say that

[@Jase-ww5bu]

It’s 2024 and I still watch this show on the weekends. Best Sunday nights ever 2001-2006.

[@keelychow4569]

Can anyone imagine what if Sydney Bristow ended up in the MCU, and the first person she meets is Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow?

[@zhaquiri]

Black Widow: I did a somersault while handcuffed to a chair. Sydney Bristow: Gurl, I already did that in the pilot of my show, red hair and all.

[@calliestephen]

If you watch the deleted scenes of this season, when they find out Lauren's a mole they also find the brain washing sign in Vaughn's eyes. The same one that was in Wills when he was brain washed by the fake Francie. They were going to have it that Vaughn was brain washed by Lauren and that's why he moved on so quickly, but then they felt that if he did it on his own there is more conflict to explore between him and Sydney and a bigger sense of betrayal for him to get over.

[@andyroughyed3642]

alias is a very underated series, I did not watch the series when it first aired think it used to channel 4 , found the whole series on my android box and I love it.

[@bigbennie96]

Such an incredible scene besides her & Francie fighting this one takes the cake & is incredible acting.... I'm not a crier but this gets me everytime the gritted teeth, the facial expressions, the whispered voice well done! I'd love to know the back story to this or to see the bloopers......winning

[@Taeminsheart]

OMG.... Why did I torture myself?!!??? GAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@1981jsk]

This part still tears my heart out all these years later! Such an amazing performance from Jennifer, as always.

[@joystixxify]

after sydney's speech about what a waste it would've been if she had waited, this was my face when i saw it the first time -> :-O she kicked his ASS in that scene lol you can't really blame him for moving on. but not even two years and having found someone new, and MARRIED that someone new...it does seem very quick. love alias :D

[@itzzy1859]

i think this is around the time they started dating in real life.

[@ezmrsoundspacer76]

Geez, this couple and show still have some type of hold over me! Love love love these two scenes. Thanks for sharing, xx

[@mariagutierrez-nr3ts]

such a brilliant performance by both! completely nailed it. One of my fav scene. This kind of brilliant performances by all the cast are what made this tv show my favorite and the reason it still remains my favorite

[@janetsims180]

The irony in how the lines of this scene would closely mimicked their personal lives later on. Only the roles would be reversed. From what I've read, Michael Vartan was one broken man. He was in a "horrible" place and felt "ripped apart" after Jennifer dumped him to be with Ben, and this lasted for quite some time.

[@Deann17]

That scene of Sydney reading Vaughn for filth will never get old. His attempt to defend his choice to remarry is super weak.

[@patricew.4010]

To you, to me he had every reason to move on.....he thought ol'girl was dead. Justifiable enough.

[@gidgetdarcy]

Patrice Confer too soon. 3 years minimum. 1 year to get over Sydney. 1 year to date a new girl. And the 3rd year to propose and marry.

[@birdiewolf3497]

@@gidgetdarcy Exactly... Like you need at least a year of grief and depression. And then spend the next year trying to pull yourself back together. Sure maybe you can start dating again in that year of pulling yourself back together just because people are messy and stupid. You technically not ready to get yourself back out there, so you'll ruin someone by pretending that you are. So after that experience and hopefully some therapy, the third year you can date someone forreal. But no, this clown said that he was grieving then started having a mental breakdown, and then immediately found someone and got married?? The math ain't mathing. He moved on with swiftness. I just can't imagine loving someone as much as he claims to love her and being married within two years. It would take at least two years before I would even feel ready to date again. He has no excuse.

[@jessicagerard1380]

And Jennifer never got an Emmy for this role because...?

[@itzzy1859]

"i am horrible." that was the moment i felt the most when watching this entire series. i've been there. i've lived through having an ex love check on you to check on themselves, and i didn't get to say that. i went along with it. this is more realistic than real life.

[@susanpark3451]

I felt for her so much at that point because she’s right had that happened to him she would have never given up on him. If you truly love someone so much how in such a short time can you move on. I just find that crazy.

[@caitlinlopez7027]

It's weird how in the final season of Alias Sydney does up in Vaughn's position yet she does the complete opposite of what he did to her. I know that guys but let's face it we all knew they would end up getting back together in the end making everything worth it.
