So long, Vaughn
I came across this website today, courtesy of an item on People.com:
THE MV CAMPAIGN: Uniting fans of Michael Vaughn / Michael Vartan
I'll be blunt: Are you people crazy?! Let's ignore for a moment the obvious facts that "Vaughn" is a character. On a TV Show. A TV show that hasn't been great in recent memory. And that Michael Vartan is a working actor who will, most likely, continue to find more work as the poor man's Ralph Fiennes in J. Lo's next romantic comedy, if that is what he so desires. He is not to be pitied. If he needed an ad in Variety to help his career, his agent would surely be way ahead of you on that.
The real issue: Vaughn needs to die. I've been saying this for over a year. His character doesn't do much of anything anymore except moon over Sydney when there are greater issues at hand, like saving the world from zombies. I mean really, what kind of a spy is this guy anyway? While everyone else is tricked out in fancy outfits, Vaughn's idea of a clever disguise is usually something along the lines of wire-frame glasses and a little fake moustache. (Go check your TiVoed episodes and see if I'm wrong.) And then -- surprise! -- the mission goes awry. Way to go, Vaughn!
With Vaughn out of the picture, Syd would be free to pursue more interesting relationships. Maybe she'd hook up with this guy -- now that would be hot. We haven't seen nearly enough of him lately.
Or they could always bring back Will Tippin! On the other hand... Bradley "Will Tippin" Cooper just appeared in a very funny role in Wedding Crashers. See? There is life after you get written out of Alias.
