Ah, another dose of excellence. The scenes with Gordon, the G-Man and Alyx were the best. I shall now prove to all you people who like Alyx that she's an annoying idiot who doesn't give a toss about you:
At the end of Half Life 2: Episode 1, you have to scramble all around the train depot while a Strider blows up everything to try and get at you. Shots scream around you, combine soldiers drop into your path and there's even head crabs hiding in one of the transport cases. Alyx ducked past the gate at the earliest opportunity, which is fair enough as she didn't know what was about to happen. However, when you eventually make it to the infinite RPG crate you can look down and you'll see that Alyx's hiding place is only metres away, with a ladder leading up to the platform where the RPG is. But did Alyx try to help you? Noooo, she'd much rather hide than try to take down the Strider while you're oh so neatly distracting it by being shot at.
