Not ungrammatical (this coming from someone who writes things down exactly as they sound in her head:) so take it with a grain of salt:)
And I agree, the family relationship in Alias is far more interesting than the Sydney/Vaughn relationship - who am I kidding, I watch Alias for Spy mommy and daddy, I have a hard time with Sydney herself.
And that is such a struggle, for writer's to continue to portray characters as parents without losing their bite. People don't lose their personality and their flaws because they have children. Why is it so hard to show that without making them villains (and I'm not complaining about those plot twists, I love them. I love Irina, I loved Xhalax in her mercilessness and bitterness), but I think the main characters would also remain interesting as parents, if written well, and it so rarely happens.
