Notes: |
- "The Two" marks
the eleventh episode to be written by J.J Abrams.
- Ken Olin
has now directed a grand total of 20 episodes of Alias.
- Although
credited, Melissa George and David Anders to not appear in
this episode.
- As of now,
Merrin Dungey, Bradley Cooper and Lena Olin are no longer in
the opening credits.
- Greg Grunberg,
who has guest starred in several episodes as Agent Eric Weiss,
is now credited as a series regular.
- The establishing
shot for Paris with the Eiffel Tower shows the tower with a
giant, light-up number screen - this was part of the tower as a
countdown to the millenium. The countdown shows that they still
have 821 days to go, but really the series is set after 2001.
- Lindsey
had Syd listed as an enemy of the state, however she was able
to walk into the CIA office without being stopped by security.
- After the
Paris mission goes south, Sydney speaks with Weiss and tells
him not to mention their conversation, but the CIA would already
know all about it because of the satellite footage.
