Alias

[sued]

Does anyone else think they may have jumped the shark this season with the going back to undercover, working for Sloane, rekindling the Vaughn relationship etc. Have they run out of ideas already? Now I keep looking for similarities between this season and the first. I used to love this show but now it seems predicatable.

[blackout-]

alot of people thought season3 sucked, i thought it was great.... they need to get back into the rambaldi stuff. too bad they killed off the mom, that was an awesome storyline - with sloan in nepal and everything.

i read that sark will be back in the 8th and 9th episodes of this season so maybe it will get better, it seems they're trying to make these more standalone episodes which can really suck, they gotta get a whole storyline throughout the season going.

[Unholy]

I don't think it jumped the shark yet.

[Fr. Dougal]

The mom's sister is coming back next week... and the latest twist Abrams has thrown is that the mom, Irinia Derevko, is still alive. And there's hints that Sloane and Jack are involved in something themselves.

Seems every time there's a chance of the show getting boring, Abrams completely energizes it with crazy plot twists that somehow end up making sense at the end of the season.

I love this fuckin show! And the chick who plays Nadia is fuckin' hot!

[sued]

Well, I must say JJ seems to have pulled a rabbit out of his hat! I am psyched for Irena to come back and shock the shit out of Sidney. With this genetic thing I am now convinced that Jack is Rambaldi somehow. Any takers?

[blackout-]

dunno but what the fuck is up with sloan #2 huh.

[sued]

Looks good. I've been waiting for them to drag him into the series. He's perfect for a copy of Sloane. His name is Joel Grey, yes? He was in the original production of Cabaret. Should be very interesting. I know some stuff but I won't spoil it - I will say that the season finale looks awesome!!! and vaguely familiar....hmmmm

[sued]

Anybody check out last night's Alias? I am amazed at how fast the direction of the show just changed. Now Jack can be a normal human being b/c his wife has come back and apologized (sort of, although I am not sure Nadia isn't Jack's or someone else's by the look Jack gave last night). They can become this bad ass duo. Sidney and Vaughn can plan a wedding. Nadia (based on the previews) looks like she gets infected and turns bad. I still think Sloane's endgame is now about stopping Elana and saving his daughter. But what if he finds out she isn't his daughter? HMmmm.

[blackout-]

not as good as the first 3 seasons but now that they got back into the rambaldi stuff its gettin better. finale next week looks cool.

[blackout-]

holy shit, great season finale. season4 started off slow but finished awesome.... anyone else think vaughn is/was a russian agent?

*car crash*

hoho

[mascan42]

Wow . . . I really wasn't expecting a cameo by Pat from Moonachie at the end there. :icon_mrgr

[sued]

I am convinced that Vaughn worked for Irena and was planted in CIA to ensure Sid ended up on the roof to save everything since she was the chosen one. She basically told him to tell her, she knew the truth! Amazing surprise- the car crash! I totally didnt expect that! However, that impies that there is a bigger picture yet to be revealed. I wonder how they are going to work in Jennifer Garner's pregnancy next season. I hear they are going to start filming new episodes soon.

[sued]

Also I must say I am psyched that Sloane did something good. He is so much more interesting when you can't figure out if he's a good guy or a bad guy.

[thekidslepthere]

POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT

i'm hearing sidney is in a coma for part of the season, i guess to get around the pregnancy.

a casting call has been put out for another young woman to be the central character and to help ensure that theres a hot chick who can kick ass.

and michael vartan is only signed on for 3-4 episodes next year, but thing can always change. i guess he can now do more movies.

[sued]

Where are you getting this info? Any spoiler websites I know aren't showing this yet.

[thekidslepthere]

one of my best friends is an agent for one of the companies that reps some of the people on the show, and supposedly this is what they heard. take it for what it's worth, but he's usually pretty good with these tips.

[sued]

I did read that Michael Vartan's return was an uncertainty but it looked pretty promising. JJ just said (I think on Jimmy Kimmel) that he would love to have Melissa George back on the show. Also he loves Kerri Russel. Maybe if he cant get her for MI3 she'll work on Alias. If you are right Jennifer Garner must be sweating bricks about a new cast member. Pregancy is pretty tough to hide. I only hope Lena Olin comes back. She really adds something amazing to the show.

[thekidslepthere]

I'm pretty positive i heard lena olin is coming back next year.

i've been a fan of this show since i caught the first ten episodes in row on an abc family channel marathon they had on new years day like three years ago. but i think its pretty close to running it's course. if michael vartan leaves, you'd have to think that jennifer garner would want to be getting out also. but who knows maybe this can be good for the show. maybe they can go on with new agents, kind of in the same way ER and Law and Order, keep going with new casts.

also kerri russel would be pretty bad ass on alias, and i think that some chick named michelle monohan or something like that, got the roll in MI3 that was rumored to be going to kerri russel, scarlett johanson, katie homes, or who ever else tom cruise was auditioning for the role in the movie/the roll of his girlfriend. so maybe kerri can be our spy next year.

[sued]

I think Kerri would be horrible. I can't stand her in anything. I think the show may have a rough patch ahead since they seem to have finished with the Rambaldi thing (unless Vaughn is Rambaldi or something like that). They have sort of resolved the whole mother good/bad question and let her walk off into the sunset so to speak. Sark is still out there and Melissa George is supposedly frozen somewhere. The fake Alison is unaccounted for but all these bad guys worked to Elana and now that she is dead who's going to lead the bad guys? All the big questions like what is the ultimate motive of Sloane or Jack have been answered. I do think it is stupid that Sloane did it all for love. I am convinced that Nadia is Jack's too. I think the mom was pregnant when she had the affair. Hopefully we'll get another good season from what develops whenthe truth about Vaughn comes out. Besides Weiss has his own show now scheduled to air sometime next year so I have spent most of this season waiting or him to die like on Lost.

[crescentwrench]

Didn't someone steal some of Sydney's eggs or something? Maybe that will be how they do it.

And if Felicity joins the show I'll quit watching. I'd rather see the Girl Next Door on there. She could just stand there for 40 minutes and I'd watch.

[sued]

Anybody gonna watch Alias Thursday? They are saying this will be the last season. I hope it holds up compared to the past seasons.

[blackout-]

hope they get back into the rambaldi stuff, they only dealt with it in a couple of the eps last season.

[LiddyRules]

I'm still pissed that RED BALL that was major since episode 1 is only some zombie making thing. I heard Garner's taking a back seat this season and new agents are being brought in. Lame.

[sued]

I heard the same thing as well as some other not so great spoilers. After 4 seasons of strong episodes (well, maybe not season 3 so much) I really hope we are not disappointed. I know JJ is way busy with other projects and Alias never really got the attention it warrented. I hope they can pull this off.

[sued]

And you are right about the red ball. That's the problem with creating enormous expectations- usually the viewer is let down.

[LiddyRules]

Season 3 and Season 4 stunk. Season 2 was the peak of it, Phase 1 kind of blew the show since they didn't really know where to go from it. S4 had some good episodes, most of which were Victor Garber-centric who (...along with some of Sloane but they don't know what to do with him now either) is the reason to watch the show.

Rachael Nichols, late of The Inside, is the new crazy spy broad.

[crescentwrench]

Well it would be hard for Garner to carry the whole season, all swollen with child n' all. But they gotta find some way to pull all this shit together. More Ramboldi, more Sloane being an evil fuck, less with the shotgun plot method. I really hope ol' J.J. hasn't blasted the wheels off this one.

[sued]

LiddyRules, I agree. Victor Garber is the highlight of the show. I also think Lena Olin does an amazing job. Too bad they can't get her more often. I couldn't care less about Jennifer Garner. She could leave and if the show was Marshall, Sloane, Jack, Irina, Rambaldi and some random bad guy (Sark sometimes) I'd be just as happy.

[kloraferm]

I lost track of that show after season 2. I'm just a plebian.

[sued]

It is still interesting but I'm bored by the Sidney/Vaughn relationship. I was rooting for them first season and liked when Lauren was around and Sidney had to just look longingly at him but now there is such a lack of chemistry between them. Perhaps now that they were in an accident she can look longingly at him in a hospital bed, sounds like when he was shot and Lauren was always at the hospital.

[sued]

Come on! Isn't anybody excited about tonight??

[blackout-]

well that sucked, guess all those rumors were true. :(

[sued]

No, I am sure he' s not dead. That would be too easy. Especially since Jack said "I will do everything I can for you and Vaughn". Its got to be fake. Hes in CapeTown looking into Prophet 5. Gotta be. Althought faking deaths becoming cliche

[sued]

Ok I think I am having a conversation with myself here but---

Was the "daughter" at the party (girl w/ champagne bottle) the same girl who broke Marshall's code? If so then when she said "I guess you're getting fired then" has totally new meaning! Why did they close in on her face when she said "I know"? Obviously to introduce her as a new character. We know they are bringing new people on the show this season. This somehow supports my "Vaughn is not really dead" theory if she's the same girl. Right?

[blackout-]

no different girl, just went back and checked - obv the agent is going to be a new character but the drunk girl was just that guys daughter. even if he is still alive thats a pretty retarded story line -- your not suppose to survive 20+ bullets in your chest.

[sued]

bummer I was hoping it was her. Well, they made it look like Sloane died. I believe he'll live to see the end of the season. It will take 3-4 episodes to see him again but I bet he calls Sidney and she doesn't believe its him, thinks its a clone OR her dad brings her into a bunker and there he is, waiting. I can see it now.

[Tommy Ceez]

The show lost all steam after the S2 re-boot, and now it sucks big ass.

A once GREAT show has come to this, but I guess this is the trade-off for JJ concentrating on LOST

[sued]

yes, I tend to agree. JJ seems to be stretched very thin. Something has to suffer. Its too bad it was this. It was a great show with a great cast. Victor Garber is amazing and so underused here. I would watch a spin off of him and Lena Olin over Alias as it is today.

[Tommy Ceez]

The only way to save this shit is to re-tool the show to be about Jack in the period between joining the CIA and having Sydney

The SpyDaddy show.

[blackout-]

that would be cool, get the entire story on project christmas and more of his relationship with lena olin etc.

[LiddyRules]

Young Jack, Sloane and Irinia might end up being one of the coolest shows ever produced.

I think the show lost something when they lost Will and Francie. When it just became the spy shit, it just got lame. Part of the goodness of the show was her balancing her life as a spy between her life as a normal human. They were the heart of the show. Also when they added relative after relative after relative, it got really gay. I think the final nail in the coffin for me was Season 4's premiere where they totally botched what should have been a great cliffhanger. I just can't seem to care anymore. I might download but between Smallville (another awful show but a lot more fun to make fun of and watch) and Everybody Hates Chris, I mean, this show just falls by the wayside.

And I read that Fred from Angel is joining the cast this season.

[blackout-]

bring back sarc and gina torres!

[LiddyRules]

bring back sarc and not for just an episode. and not obsessed with that lame ass Lauren. Sark was cool.

[sued]

I was too busy picking lice out of my daughter's hair to see the first few minutes. When exactly did she tell her dad she was pregnant? Did anyone see if that body was Vaughn? Clearly it is a man. I am nervous about this season. I might lose interest.
I only have 2 shows left, I'd hate to lose one. I hear Arrested Development in excellant.

[blackout-]

AD is the best show on network tv, best comedy on all of tv right in front of curb id say. she told her dad she was preggers the 1st ep. could never see who the body was.

*also i saw that sark will be back this season but no mention of when or for how many eps.

[sued]

Thanks! Yes, I heard Sark will be back for a few as well as Lena Olin. I totally agree about focusing more on Jack. I know it would ruin his character but maybe the final episode of Alias is just following Jack around. Finding out what he does when he isnt working, where does he eat? He is such a machine (and I like him that way) but I would love to get an idea of what he does 24 hours a day. Jack in the bathroom, having a bowl of cereal, going to the movies. I'd love it

[blackout-]

ok, so im watching the new ep and it looks like the frozen dude was the blind guy from carnivale, heh.

[sued]

I am so disappointed in this season. I taped the ep and actually fast forwarded trough it looking for somehing good. Nothin! Sloane at the rink was ok, not quite up to what he could be. He just doesnt seem as menacing now. And Sydney is flat out boring. The only thing left on this show worth while is Jack and he didn't get any airtime last night. They need to get into his endgame more. I want to find out that Doxin is the mastermind to everything and jack has been tracking him since forever b/c Dixon is Rambaldi, you just never suspected b/c he's black and who ever thought of a black Rambaldi.

Now they are going to make Renee a mystery like Syd like Nadia. All with strange childhood secrets. It wasnt the father they are after it was the girl. How cliche. Come on guys!!! Do something new already. PLEASE!!

[RobeSoup&Tears]

I saw it last night for the first time this season. I don't know but...it doesn't seem like it has the same feel.

I'll have to Limewire the previous ones.

Last years seemed much better.

[sued]

I just read this is the last season of Alias and it will go out with a bang. oH WELL, this season sucks anyway.

[LiddyRules]

I just read this is the last season of Alias and it will go out with a bang. oH WELL, this season sucks anyway. I just hope they don't spin it off with the new bitch and the Liev Shrieber looking mother fucker even if she is hot.

[sued]

Less than 3 weeks til the return and end of Alias. I hope they do right by it. JJ has been very busy doing other things. and Jennifer Garner JUST had her baby. If they continue with giving the other girl all the good stuff I will be very disappointed. Since I have watched every ep I will be sorry to see it go.

[Beeman99]

The show was best in the first two years, the 3rd and 4th weren't bad, but they weren't great. This year has stunk so far story wise and wait wise, but now that Garner isn't pregnant anymore and should be hot again it might get better. One of those good shows that never really took off which was too bad.

[blackout-]

Rambaldi story line was the coolest and they just made it go away for almost this entire season.

it will never happen but a spinoff with her dad (victor garber), sloan, sark, and amy acker would be pretty sweet. sark is one of the coolest "villans" in recent tv history.

[LiddyRules]

Hated seasons 3 and 4 but Seasons 1 and 2 were amazing. The "Three year jump" really hurt the series. I was thinking how much richer and deeper Alias was at this point than Lost is.

Arvin Sloan and Jack Bristow are two of the awesomest characters on TV and Irina is easily one of the single most hardcore chicks in TV. Sark was mighty awesome too.

[LiddyRules]

The beginning of the end for Sydney Bristow comes starts tonight at 8 in a 2 hour return as we wrap this series up.

[Paulie Pockets]

Jennifer Garner was tremendously hot until Ben Affleck befouled her. That's the only thing I know about "Alias".

[WMB]

Hated seasons 3 and 4 but Seasons 1 and 2 were amazing. The "Three year jump" really hurt the series. I was thinking how much richer and deeper Alias was at this point than Lost is.

Arvin Sloan and Jack Bristow are two of the awesomest characters on TV and Irina is easily one of the single most hardcore chicks in TV. Sark was mighty awesome too.

I thought the same. My wife and I got into Alias a little late, so last year we rented the first 3 seasons from netflix, and liked seasons 1 & 2 the best.

[LiddyRules]

Cold, evil psychotic chicks with firearms is fucking sexy. Alias is back and if the next five episodes are half as cool as those two hours were, it's ending with a bang. And next week the return of Will!

[mascan42]

What intrigued me about the first season was the structure they came up with starting with the first episode after the pilot. They added ten minutes of filler at the beginning of the first episode, and then ran with an hour's worth of story, even though there was only 50 minutes left in the episode. So the episode ended on a cliffhanger, and the last ten minutes of the story played out at the beginning of the next episode. And then started another hour story with 50 minutes left to tell it, and ended on a cliffhanger, and so on for the entire season. You don't notice that sort of thing until you watch it on DVD.

[LiddyRules]

Yes but that 10 minutes of filler gave the show a realism to it. Seeing her with Will and Francie, lying to them, living life as a double agent PLUS living her real life was what made Seasons 1 and 2 really good. I loved that. A lot of what killed the show was taking away both Will/Francie, her vestiges of a "real" life. And those cliffhangers were cool.

[Beeman99]

This show definetly isn't near as good as the first two years, but it's still great. The only part I laughed at was the child birth, how can anyone go from having her muscles clenched and the baby coming out backwards to being relaxed and popping the kid out 30 seconds later. I'm sure every pregnant house wife was wishing that's what she had to look forward to. To let you know how fucked the story line gets sometimes. At the end there when the munk said "Congratulations, you have a daughther" I was waiting for some fucked up twist to be thrown in, not Vaughn to be standing there looking like he was just ass *****. Good episode, looking forward to the final five

[WMB]

Anyone else pissed over the constant commercials? Holy shit I'm glad I Tivo'd and started watching 40 minutes in. It was on average 7 minutes of show, 3-4 minutes of commercials repeatedly. A lot of filler to make up a two hour return.

Now that I'm done bitching, I can't wait to see how it all ends. I was thinking for a while Jack may be the reincarnated Rambaldi, but don't think he could put his daughter through what her mother did.

[RobeSoup&Tears]

Yep...Amazing amounts of commercials last night.

I'm watching them again becuase they're tying up the loose ends in a few months.

[sued]

I love this show and forgot how good it could be. Of course Vaugh is alive. SInce the show is ending they said they are going to give the loyal fans what they want. The delivery scene was ridiculous, absolutely stupid. But I loved seeing Irina & Jack together.

I think the two of them have been working together from the start. Otherwise he wouldn't have let her get away.

THe only annoying thing in the show now is Amy whats her name. I cant stand her. Nice to see Weiss back.

Anyone want to guess who hid Vaughn? Does Sid know? Is that what she meant when she said "Dad..." on the plane and he said he'd take care of it. Was that "Tell Vaughn about the baby"? I can't wait to see how all of this plays out. Too bad they are cancelling it. I read we might get a 3 hour finale. 2 1/2 hours ep and 1/2 hour greatest moments.

[kloraferm]

I used to like that show but kind of fell off after season 3 so I'm totally out of the loop as far as the plot goes

[WMB]

I'm pretty sure Sidney knew Vauhn was alive. If you remember the episode when they had his funeral service. Closed casket, and Jack & Sidney gave each other a look like something was being hidden.

[sued]

I just read through one of the spoiler sites and everything looks really good for the next few weeks. I am so happy to see them giving this show the end it deserves.

I hope they don't kill Jack off though. Maybe they could spin off a show for him.

[blackout-]

fuckin last nights 2 eps were great.

jack bristow > jack bauer
marshall > cloey
token black guy on alias > token black guy on 24

:)

[sued]

I thought they were gonna make Dixon bad but now I think he'll end up on the good side. I think Irina is ultimately a good guy but will do anything to get what she wants. I will be content if they bring everyone back (Will, Anna, Sark, etc) and they can kill just about anyone but Jack.

[sued]

I wonder if Anna being cloned as Syd is the girl on page 47. Has Anna ever been to that mountain at sunrise?

I guess Vaughn is alive after all.... what a surprise.....who would've guessed?

I am glad they brought Will back. Although I almost think it would have been a better episode if they killed him. It was getting a bit too corny at the end.

The babysitter was very spooky, no pun intended.

[LiddyRules]

That was an awesome episode

The new broad was very hot. And I liked "Who's Rambaldi?"
Amy Acker looked really hot. REALLY hot.
Sidney looked much hotter than usual
Will Tippin was back and was awesome again. I love when Will Tipping goes into spy mode. And he kneed Ana in the cunt. RIGHT IN THE CUNT!!!
Rambaldi!!!
Someone should steal Sydney's line of "It's like I'm a plague and everyone I know is infected" and send it into the show.
The ending was a bit cheesy with the water dive and that strange under the train CGI but I still liked it nonetheless.

Only problem was the commercial turning Pearl Harbor into a baby comedy for Ben and Jen.

[WMB]

I liked last night's ep. Getting closer to putting the whole thing together. And maybe you're on to something Sued, it would make sense if Ana was the pg 47 person.

On a side note, hot damn does the blond who was supposed to replace Syd have a nice chest!

[sued]

She is awful. Come on. She might be attractive but very cream cheese and a horrible actress. I know why they brought her on the show but since the show is beng cancelled anyway I wish they would kil her just for fun. Also that other new agent. The newest guy on the show should be Sark.

[LiddyRules]

Bitch, never get between a man and his work. Another really good episode, I'm surprised at the death count (even though it was only 2). I am on the edge of my seat from this show.

And yes, she's horrible, but she's a fucking knockout.

[sued]

Terrific episode! I am sorry that Nadia didn't get a little more airtime but as I've been saying they are giving the loyal viewers everything they want. Sloan is going to be his old evil self now that he killed his daughter. Sidney is gonna be pissed! I am so happy they are doing justice to this show.

[sued]

Looks like Michael Vaughn makes his return tonight. Very cool. I hope they don't kill him in the first two minutes.

[LiddyRules]

Another great episode tonight, can't wait for next week.

[blackout-]

i let out a hell yeah when sark showed up at the church. can't wait for the last 3 eps now.

[Al Killew]

i let out a hell yeah when sark showed up at the church. can't wait for the last 3 eps now.
:clap:
I don't know why, but I love Sark too. He and Sloane are my two favorite characters.

[LiddyRules]

:clap:
I don't know why, but I love Sark too. He and Sloane are my two favorite characters. Oh I know why. He's suave, merciless, sarcastic, intelligent and awesome. This series has some of the best villains on television. And Jack Bristow is one cool motherfucker. This is show is really bringing it for the final five episodes.

Was I the only one who groaned (not in a bad way) when Sidney fakes being Ana since you know that this is how the Rambaldi Plan plays out. How attempting to solve it, she's leading us right to the end.

[sued]

WHat do you mean?

I thought the ep was good too but they can't bring Sark back quick enough for me. I was disappointed that Vaughn didn't figure out soooner that it was Anna (or not Sidney) and why didn't she give him a picture of Izabelle? You would think he might want to see what his daughter looked like? I would have liked to see a moment of questions about the baby while they were in the bunker.

[sued]

DO you mean the chosen one is Anna looking like Sidney?

[LiddyRules]

I mean the Chosen One is, and always has been Sidney. They attempted to make Anna into Sidney to achieve whatever plans Rambaldi had. With everyone at Project Five convinced Sidney is Anna, they're putting her through the same strategy they had planned for Anna. So Sidney, in essence, is playing into Rambaldi's hands.

I think Vaughn knew right away. Anna called the child "Isabella" instead of "Isabel." When he was repeating it a couple of times, I think he figured it out.

[sued]

I think the best way they could end it would be to have Vaughn and Sidney team up to find the last key Rambaldi artifact after working with Sark to get there.
Naturally he'd confess some admiration for Sid and then be killed by someone. Sid and Vaughn would follow the lead to a deep tomb somewhere in South America where they would encounter Sloane (who followed them) he would try to kill Sid after she opened a secret door that she alone could open so he could have acesss to whatever lay on the other side. They would discover a mummified corpse of Rambaldi waiting to be brought back from the dead by some vial of gunk Sloane had brought with him. He would awaken only to see Sid, his eyes glorified by her face and then he'd die. Sloane would be crushed and kill himself when he realizes that he destroyed everything dear to him for nothing. Irina would show up with Jack and they would all live happily ever after saving the world from wrong doers.

The end.

[Beeman99]

I just watched this weeks episode and all I can say is why haven't the last two years been as good as the last 5 episodes. It gets good when there are only three episodes left, cocksuckers. This will be one show I will really miss though, it's one of those cult shows that never really took off but was enjoyed immensley(sp) by people like us. To end the series though either Sydney, Jack, or Sloan has to die. My money is on Sloan, right when he solves the Rambaldi mystery Syd kills him for what he did to her fiancee, Nadia, his wife, and her.

[sued]

just remember that this Wednesday there is an episode and then on MONDAY night the finale. the 22nd, not sure of the time.

[space_hitler]

I am so disappointed that they are ending this show. When I first started dating my girfriend,(she is now my lovely wife) she had me watch the season premiere where Sidney wakes up in China, I think and she has been gone for 2 years. I told her it was not what I liked and we changed it. 18 months later I bought all of the seasons on DVD and I have a book called unCoverIng aliAs. And I am hooked! Then when this season starts Jennifer is pregnant with that Dipshits baby and then this is the last season. Now I am disappointed be cause this series could have been awesome and I feel that now J.J. Abrahms has beeter things to do the seires is cancelled. Anyone no why?

[Beeman99]

this series could have been awesome and I feel that now J.J. Abrahms has beeter things to do the seires is cancelled. Anyone no why?

Mission Impossible 3, the new Star Trek movie, lost, desperate houswives(I think). This guy is anything but hurting for work, so I'm guessing he got bored with Alias and fucked off. It sucks because it is/was a great show, but I'll have to watch my DVD's of it to enjoy it in the future.

[LiddyRules]

Can't wait for Monday. Damn you 24 .

[sued]

AN excellant episode. I would have liked to see more of the Rambaldi stuff explained but I cant wait for Monday. Too bad it has to end. They have really come back to season one with these last five episodes. I am so glad. It would have been such a disapoointment if they just dropped it or half assed it.

[blackout-]

anyone have a guess for the rambaldi amulet? im guessing immortality - that old guy (the rose) who talked to him in the prison has been there for a couple hundred years.

[sued]

I think you are right. I think that is exactly what it is.

[Beeman99]

just watched this weeks episode (thank god for PVR) and why the hell couldn't this show be this way for the last 2 and half years. It was good but this shit is what made this show so good, and it sucks that monday is the end of it, but it'll be interesting to see how it plays out. It's driving me nuts as to what the hell is in the amulet, but I'm still saying Syd puts a bullet in Sloane.

[armymad]

i just pissed off that they going to end the same night as 24/WWE is on i can't pick which to watch

[blackout-]

so... you just pick 1 to watch and dvr/tivo the others or download them later.

[sued]

Naturally, Alias has to be watched live since it is over after that. I actually like the commercials during that show. makes it last longer. Like intermission.

[RobeSoup&Tears]

Might as well make this a watching thread.

[sweetteach]

I just hope Vaughn doesn't die againg and that Sydney gets to gut Sloan like the pig he is.

[RobeSoup&Tears]

It should all come to a close tonight so probably not.

[sweetteach]

That girl has blue eyes...aren't Sydney's supposed to be brown?

[sweetteach]

I think they should skull fuck Peyton.

[RobeSoup&Tears]

It's be nice if they finished it early enough to have some down time to bring some closure.

[sweetteach]

With only 40 minutes left I'm not sure they can wrap it up in a satisfying manner.

[RobeSoup&Tears]

Nadia is a real looker

[sweetteach]

This could be interesting...

[RobeSoup&Tears]

Finally

[sweetteach]

It's about time.. I didn't think she'd ever get around to it.

[sweetteach]

Oh no...not Jack!

Oh no...not Jack!
The writers hate us:icon_eek:

[sweetteach]

Jack's got to be some sort of machine/human hybrid

[sweetteach]

Uh oh...he's doing that slow...breathy...I'm dying..talk...apologies...confessions...elongated syllables...even a stutter

[sweetteach]

No one's going to be alive for the movie or the spin-off show

[RobeSoup&Tears]

I wonder how he feels about London?

[sweetteach]

I'm not sure he 'feels'

[RobeSoup&Tears]

Good point sweetteach...Good Point.

Gonna miss this show.

[sweetteach]

Irina is so hot and so bad
What a cougar!

[sweetteach]

A little too much crying

[RobeSoup&Tears]

Deputy Director...Nice

Here we go...

Devoted my real time programming to 24, recorded Alias. Glad I recorded Alias because those commercials every 3 minutes would have pissed me off.

Overall: good series finale, not great series finale. I don't know, it didn't hit me as much as I thought it would. The conclusion a couple years later, I don't know, it should have ended on a more substantial note. I didn't get what made the ball so incredibly important because if it provided immortality then Irina wouldn't have died. Was I the only one who felt bad for Sloan at the end? I don't know, I know he's evil but that really is a horrible fate.

Of course the delivery of the thingy to Isabel probably meant at least one of them is alive.

Nadia looked hotter than ever tonight. I was really disappointed Jack died the way he did. It was disappointing, though "You beat death, but you couldn't beat me" was a pretty cool line.

I don't know, I wish it were better.

As for recent series finales, this doesn't hold a candle to Angel which I deem one of the best series finales ever.

the liquid / (rambaldi blood mebbe?) in the ball is what gives you eternal life... she never drank or even came in contact with it unlike Sloan.... so I doubt either her or Jack is suppose to have survived.

Jack went out in the badass 'Leon: The Professional' style. I think it ended probably the best it could have.... nice combo of indiana jones and alias heh. And Sark got away, yay.

I was very sad to see Jack die but damn that man knows how to do it. Awesome. It made me happy to see it happen that SLoan would forever be trapped under that big rock alive FOR-EVER. A very long time. That is hell. He got what he deserved. Very satisfying.
I am not sure how the puzzle got to Isabelle. Vaughn said unpack your toys. I thought maybe they had just moved there.

I was also glad Irina said "for what its worth I do love you" to Sidney. Like Ive said before, the writters gave the loyal viewers what they wanted to see.
We even got 3 seconds of Francie.

Did anyone else think that Sid was talking to Sloane like a stranger in the flashbacks? Calling him sir and all. But now he says he and Emily took care of her when Jack was in jail. Did they create the relationship latter?

All in all satisfying.

Just watched the finale, and I have to say it was the best series finale I've ever watched, but it sucked because this episode once again proved how great this series was and how much it'll suck that it's gone. I liked how the left it open ended though at the end with Isabel doing the puzzle thing and with Dixon coming to Sydney with a job(movie in the future, I saw yes!).

My gf of two years had never watched the show until I made her watch an episode a couple of weeks ago and she was into it, so now I have an excuse to plop in the DVD's for the past seasons and start over again with her on it.

It was a good finale. I think it was far from great. All the previews leading up to the last final episodes were pushing the fact that all questions would be answered. I think some were answered, but it was very rushed.

I found myself saying how the hell are they going to explain everything in 45 minutes at 9:15. Really what was the point of wasting time showing Tom kill himself? Why did we need to see Francine again or any flashbacks to when Sydney was in college. All of this was shown in Season 2.

-What I found to be left hanging on was:
-Why was Sydney "The chosen one?"
-If Rambaldi discovered imortality, why isn't he still alive?
-Was Rambaldi's endgame involving Sloan just to give him this imortality?
-Couldn't Irena have bought or stolen missiles anytime and disabled the defense sats to launch an attack?
-Would this attack really have started global genicide? Don't you think the US and London would have made sure who launched the two missiles before retaliating?
-Couldn't the whole Prophet 5 been answered a little more than 12 people who held control of various parts of world affairs?
-What really was the deal with Vaughn and his father seeking out Prophet 5?

I could go on, but I won't. I had hoped for much more closure than what aired last night.

The show was its best during the first two seasons. This season started off as a partial birth abortion and ended with Jack blowing himself up.

/tears/Why oh why kill Jack? Oh yeah, cause he's gonna be on a new shown on FOX.

[sued]

Maybe it will be Jack Bristow 20 years ago. God I hope it isnt him playing a Broadway musical actor.

Just finished watching all 5 seasons on DVD and the series finale still holds up when viewing the whole series together. No grumplings on the possibility of a follow up movie, but I'd love to see it happen.
