The Safe House - Action!Vaughn

Q&A with Action!Vaughn

(Editor's Note: We'd like to apologize in advance for today's Action!Vaughn recap. SB is on painkillers, so she's a little loopy, and it's Friday, so she's psyched for the weekend. Loopy + psyched = verbose. Hopefully all y'all (SB is in Texas now; we must adopt the local phraseology, right?) will at least be somewhat amused. Otherwise ... just think of it as a sacrifice for Vaughn. And she'll try to be more entertaining next time, on pain of being reported to SD-6.)

Now, to begin (and yes, I wrote this in real time, which probably explains the "Tolstoy long"-ness):

*Vaughn pesters Haladki -- points!
*Vaughn pronounces "liaison" in the French way -- points!
*Haladki makes that snarky "reintroducing" comment. Hee. No points, though, cuz, like, this isn't the Amusing!Haladki write-up. (And what a small section *that* would be.)
*Vaughn wants to ask Weiss a question, and wants Weiss to be honest. "Does this suit make my nose look big?" ;) Actually, Vaughn is CONCERNED and WHISPERING to Weiss. Sexy, but no points. Cuz, like, even I can whisper, but I'm not Action!SB (no, I'm NeedLotsaPainKillers!SB).
*Dude, I'm like Freshman!Sydney. My school's salad bar rocks -- I go there daily! Think the government will end up recruiting me?
*CONCERNED, WORRIED face at the news that Syd could be in prison for the rest of her life. "What? We won't get to have Spy!Sprog that are super adorable, 25% French, 25% Russian, 100% kickass? Ah, merde!" Hee. Points, because Vaughn was thinking about action (or rather, the lack of action he'd get if this happens... oh, bad me!).
*Meeting with Jack. Courageous, takes a step toward action. Half a point.

Since I'm like frosh!Syd, does that mean in a few years a sexy British doctor will propose to me whilst singing "Build Me Up Buttercup"? Drool!

*Vaughn figures out that Haladki used to be a ranking FBI officer-- smart is sexy (although French and leather is sexy too). And using that brain wave to barge into the loo and demand info from Haladki? Ooh la la. I'd give this a point gain, but damn, if I don't stop giving points, this ep will be 12 out of 10 before the *real* action even begins. And since I've already seen this ep, I know there's gonna be some rocking action.
*Weiss's yo-yo. Hahaha!
*Vaughn has another brain wave, and hatches a plot to prove that the FBI has the wrong woman-- "That makes sense doesn't it, I thought that made sense." Do you know how amused I am by that line? Vaughn wants a pat on the head from Future-SpyDaddy-In-Law. Aww, how cute. ::pats Vaughn on the head:: *cough* Yeah, point gain.

Commercial break. I need to find another phrase that means "point gain." And a synonym for "rocking." But oh well. I'm not a genius like Syd, so no pressure. Me have tiny vocabulary. ::grunt:: Me like Vaughn.

Aaaaand we're back.

*SexyJanitor!Vaughn. ::drool::
*Point gain for Action!Jack. I don't care if this isn't an Action!Jack recap, those lines about "ruining your paint job" and "you'll never wear a hat again" deserve a shout-out.
*My favorite part: Masked!Vaughn (and Weiss, and Jack) rescue Syd (bust her free) from the evil!FBI! Woohoo! That alone deserves a perfect Action!Vaughn ranking, but let's be honest. This is only the second write-up I've done, so clearly I cannot give the episode a perfect score. In a few years, if nothing better happens, I will revisit this score. Until then.... (Yes, I'm abusing the ellipsis; again, apologies.)
*Vaughn lets Jack argue with Syd about going to Italy-- demerits because it was half Vaughn's idea, and he should stand up for it (really a point deduction because I can't just keep giving these points away as if they were free; what do you think this is, "Whose Line Is It Anyway?"?).

That comment about not throwing just anyone in his trunk is so adorable, I just want to smooch Vaughn (even more than usual, that is).

Action!Vaughn score for Q&A: 9.448 out of 10; like I said, I can't give a perfect score when Vaughn didn't actually kick anyone's [French]derriere[/French], and when this is only my second outing with Action!boy. After all, I don't give just any episode my points. ;)

SB, Vartan Ho #2
