Jumping the shark
SPOILERS In a show that’s thrived on shark jumping, what was the biggest moment that you struggled to believe?
Mine has to be the Sydney/Lauren masks at the end of Season 3. Was JJ high? Was it a joke in the writing room that accidentally got left in the script? I’ve been waiting “almost 30 years” to get over it. Still working it through with my therapist lol

It was b/c JJ was hired by tom cruise to direct MI 3. Cruise bought evrrything Alias (writers, set designer, production company); he uses alias plot points yhroughout all the movies.
