I was just wondering if there were any Alias fans out there who saw last night's episode and wanted to talk about it.

Alias is my favorite show, and I thought last night's payoff was fantastic. And the set-up for coming episodes really compelling.

[carton253]

Let's talk about Alias... (and if you don't watch Alias or think its dumb, or don't watch anything but cable... please kindly refrain from posting. I know what I'm asking is hard... but do try)

[ewing]

The first 5 minutes were enough for me!

[EggsAckley]

OK

[Hatteras]

I'm refraining over here!

[carton253]

I was wondering what had happened to him as SD-6 was falling. How about the Francie twist. Now, both Sydney and Will are pretty sharp... hopefully, they want have to linger too long in stupid land before they figure out that Francie is not Francie.

[carton253]

I appreciate it. Exercise self-control but don't hurt yourself. LOL!

[blu]

Wasn't there a little hanky-panky between Will and Francie? That might clue him in.

[carton253]

It might... but, usually, writers need the other characters to go clueless if the plot is going to work.

At first, I thought Francie on the phone was the real Francie... When I saw the blood, I thought she had shot Will... until it was Francie sitting there.

Wow!

What do you think Sloan is up to? And do you think that Sydney's mom role is? Or does she have a role in this new Sloan-Sark alliance thing.

i hope the cia can find a place on the staff for marshall. he's one of the best parts of the show.

[carton253]

After Sydney approached Dixon, I thought he would get to walk out... not under arrest, etc. I kept saying, "take Marshall with you. Don't forget Marshall." He's great. And I think the CIA can use him.

[Mr. Thorne]

Typical Alias.

Intrigue upon intrigue upon intrigue, spiced with some serious butt kicking action. How about Vaughn's expression when Syd decides to 'cut her flight time', so to speak...

JG in Victoria's Secret (or whatever) is NOT something I'd turn away from. (Keep an eye out for the Daredevil movie: JG, with Sai, in black leather... how can you go wrong?)

Francie twist was totally unexpected, frankly thought they were going to kill Jack, or reveal Irina as 'plan b'. That's the annoying thing about this show: unpredictable to the max.

Who was blackmailing Sloan? Sloan was. Why? Apparently to escape the Alliance, who are now dead, again, apparently, through his manipulation. And his wife... accomplice? Apparently so. Sydney's gonna be peeved about THAT one.

And so, I'll be watching next week.

= )

[lost sheep]

I Love Alias! However, I could not stay up that late to watch it so Mr. Lost Sheep recorded for me. I can't wait to see it. I have to know though - did they show Sloan and his wife last night?

[Allen In Texas Hill Country]

Our group here talks every Mon about last nights episode. Alias has been my favorite, but recently 24 has moved up along side as THE can't wait for weekly show. But those who remembered Marshall are right. Please don't leave him behind.

Damn! Did Garner look great last night or what. Whoops almost forgot that SD6 bit the dust.

What a great show especially because you (at least for me) can't guess whats going to happen next.

[carton253]

You are right... nothing is expected. It was a fabulous episode!

Any ideas about what will happen next?

[carton253]

Wait until you see what happens. Everything you have been waiting for happens in that episode.

Then... they set up the next story arc beautifully. Freepmail me after you watch it. I have to know what you think.

Yes, I'm gushing... but the episode was that good.

[My2Cents]

I've never watched ALIAS, and from the promos during the Super Bowl, I never intend to. One of the folks watching the game with us said, "The rating for this show must be horrible...The promos keep showing the show's star in a bikini and lingerie."

[TexRef]

Jennifer Garner is a total babe!!! They had a little field-side interview with her at yesterday's Super Bowl and she is totally down-to-earth... She is like the anti-Hollywood.

The show kicks ass and last night's episode was the best so far! I can't wait for them to release an Alias DVD set!

Also, I can't believe that we haven't had one picture posted yet, so here goes...

[carton253]

Well.. Garner looking good wasn't my main focus. LOL!

I was getting a little worried about Jack.

And the raids on all the SD-1 through 12's were fabulous.

Can't wait to see what Sloan, Sark, and I believe Irina, do next.

Hopefully, Dixon will get over his betrayal (twice) and come on board. And bring Marshall with him.

[carton253]

I can see that... unfortunately, ABC's decision to put Garner in those types of outfits can lessen the seriousness of a really good series. And it is a good series.
