I’ve always been annoyed by Sydney Bristow being such a cry baby, but it’s gotten worse since I watch Alias in the original version, and even more since I know that Jennifer Garner is such a bimbo. She’s supposed to be the daughter of Victor Garber, the double or triple agent with an ever inexpressive face, and Lena Olin, the double or triple agent with an ever inscrutable face, she’s the prophetic super agent who’s been trained from the earliest age by her father, and she’d be unable to bluff anyone in a kindergarten poker game.
I’m specifically thinking about it tonight after I watched Kill Bill, because the bride is just the opposite: she’s credible as a fearless, remorseless killer, whereas Sydney wouldn’t survive for two days in the real world.
So, should I blame the actress, or is her character really supposed to be like this?

J.J. Abrams a dit que l'idée de créer ce personnage lui est venue pendant Felicity. En gros, Sydney et Felicity sont la même personne, sauf que la première est agent secret.
L'intérêt d'un personnage pleurnichard est que les gens (mis à part toi ;) ) compatissent plus facilement et le prennent en pitié. Elle a aussi des aspects plus forts ! Dès qu'elle porte l'un de ses nombreux déguisements, elle devient miss Rambo. ;)
