Episode Notes |
| |
Quentin Tarantino is reportedly a hardcore fan of Alias. Rumors have it that he wanted to pay just to be on the show.
| Originally, "The Box" was to be a single episode, but it was realized that it was going to be too long for one episode so extra material was added to fill out two episodes. Interestingly, something similar would later happen with Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill.
| Sydney suggests she and Vaughn should go see the L.A Kings who "are in town next week" are playing the New York Islanders. This episode was aired January 20th 2002 and the Kings actually played the Islanders one night before this episode aired.

Episode Quotes |

Weiss: (to Vaughn) You really want some space, or you and I are gonna get drunk? 'Cause there's this bar, you won't even remember it tomorrow.
| McKenas Cole: But another part that sucks is seeing guys you worked with, guys you thought were tougher than deer jerky... tortured to death. That's no good.
| McKenas Cole: You still got that room downstairs, right? The "conversation room"? But that's what you used to call it, right? The torture room's like you really got to admit what the hell it is you're going down there. So, Arvin. Let's go to the "conversation room"!
| Sydney: I can't believe, of all things, we're saving SD-6.
| McKenas Cole: Yyou give us the codes, I won't have to open the box which will be really excellent for you.
Sloane: I can't be the first person to have difficulty taking you seriously, can I?
| McKenas Cole: (holding one 'needles of fire') Each one is like you took a bag of red jalapenos, threw them in a blender, and used them for an enema. And Arvin, you're about to get to know them.
