I've just started watching Alias - I bought the first season dvd set on a whim when I found it second-hand in a cd shop.

Pretty enjoyable stuff, though utterly preposterous (just reached the bit when the 16th century prophecy reveals she is the bringer of the Apocalypse), and I enjoy the parade of absurd guest stars (Roger Moore? Angus fucking Scrimm??) and Jennifer Garner looks spectacular in every one of her disguises.

24 is better, though.

Best thing on TV at the moment, didn't see that this was bumped there's been too much going on to try and talk about it now though but I'm really enjoying it. Just great fun TV.

Just seen the season finale. How mad was that? They better get the go ahead for the 5th season after that ending.

So will she wake up next season in a hospital bed, five months pregnant?

I'm fairly concerned about how they will pull off Vaughn's confession, given how much time they spent recently on that business with his father.

apparently they wrote that finale as the SERIES finale, with all the final confrontation stuff and whatnot. then they got renewed (it IS renewed, it's gonna be on Thursday nights next season, fyi), so that's where the new development came from with the cliffhanger...

vaughn...argh...my first impression is that whatever happens is a bad idea. I can't imagine any instance where Vaughn not being Vaughn-CIA-Irina-Killed-Father thing is a good thing.

It's possibly he is undercover DSR, though...but that doesn't explain the "my name isn't michael vaughn." I'd love if the punchline is "it's Robert Vaughn, michael was my brother." hahaha. so stupid.

Lost gets the love (deservedly so -- I happened to catch the third-to-last episode of season 1 recently and have been hooked ever since, and this after my denunciation of the show earlier this year), but I'm here to state that Alias season 4 has been a fresh, enticing change of direction. The latter half of s3 was just ludicrousness upon stupid implausibilities, so I was caught offguard watching this, my guilty pleasure, and actually not feeling as guilty as I have consistently been.

Caught offguard mainly because I thought I'd missed an episode, what with the s3 finale, but the subplot was played out beautifully in the first two episodes.

Alias, as in season 4, feels maximized. Ultimized even. Yeah?

isn't the current season Season 5? the premiere was last night.

I loved Season 4, but was perplexed by Season 3 until the end run of episodes when the Rambaldi stuff started making some kind of sense.

anyone catche premiere last night? it was a bit weird. VERY different.

D Terminator XXXIII

I'm not in the US, so I'm bound to be a little late to the game.

Anyway, different how? I like spoilers.

well, they seem to be trying to start anew with a new plot revolving around....

SSSSSS

PPPPPP

OOOOO

IIIIIIIIIIIIIII

LLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

EEEEEEEEEE

RRRRRRRR

SSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Vaughn's REAL identity and some project called Prophet Five which may or may not relate to Rambaldi. The thing is that they've basically ignored all the plot developments from the end of Season 4 wherein the world is on the brink of hell.

it just felt ODD.
