Nitpick Description


Submitted by Nitpicker : belowLOW
Series : Alias
Episode: General for Season 1
Nitpick Category : Plot
Approximate time of nitpick : right at the end
Summary : The Snowman
Details : This nitpick is really for the episode where Alias fights the Snowman at the end of the show but that episode wasn't available to pick yet. Anyways, at the end Alias is fighting Snowman and kicks his butt of course, only to unmask him as he's dying and see the Snowman is actually her lover Hicks. He remarks something to the effect that he killed Cavanough so Alias wouldn't be able to find her mom and so therefore would come with him. (Some of that he didn't outright say, but it was implied.) Anyways, if he still wanted her to come with him, why did he attack her with a knife and try to kill her? Why didn't he just unmask himself when he saw her come in and say "Surprise, it's me. Cavanough's dead, and I'm sorry. I just wanted you to come with me so bad I had to do something." I know the fight scene was more exciting and the unmasking of him as he's dying much more dramatic, but it didn't make any sense given the reason he was there.

Summary :

This is just speculation, but...

Details :

Me and my sister thought the same thing, but when we watched this episode the second time round we realised he wasn't trying to kill her. Next time you watch it, you'll notice that he goes for the knife, but then you see him stop, out the knife down and go for the meat tenderiser, hammer thing. I dunno what it's called. Anyway, point being, it appears he was trying to knock her out, not kill her. If you watchg the fight scene as close as we did (and we are obsessed) you'll see he doesn't once do anything that looks like it would kill hill her. Example, hitting her with the chopping board, would only knowck her unconscious. Our guess is he was going to 'kidnap' her and take him with him like he wanted.
