Alias (2001-2006)

The show's alright... I'll catch up when I have a sec... realized they moved the airtime... the cast is solid though...

uhm... especially that agent... Vaughn (pretty sure I got the name right) 😁

Hey everyone, is anyone even still following this? I can barely keep up because I'm too busy watching Big Brother. 😁 🙄

This series is top-tier👍 👍 👍 👍 👍

I am honestly so sick of these mindless, bottom-of-the-barrel, third-rate commercials masquerading as TV shows... This series is complete garbage, and frankly, Jennifer Garner gets on my nerves too (which obviously isn't a valid metric for judging a show, but still, the whole thing is trash for plenty of other reasons). I just find these supposedly "deep" shows with their ninja kung fu nonsense and shadowy secret agencies incredibly grating 🙂 ...

The only truly great series out there right now (if we aren't counting soap operas or sitcoms) being
broadcast here in the US is The Shield 🙏

Alias is hands down the BEST show ever made, period.
I mean, Jennifer Garner is just absolute perfection... 👍
Down here in LA, they have it playing on an alternative channel—it’s already pushed past episode 55 (as of this past Monday). And when I say 54, I'm talking about Season 1 plus all of Season 2, and now we're deep into the third... Over at CNN, they've barely scratched the surface with season two. If you guys want me to spoil what happens later on, just say the word!
Has anyone there even reached the "Helix Project" part yet?
And did the Alliance finally go down?

👍 👍 👍

What a series finale. On the edge of the law.👍

So, the series is finally over—I mean, I just finished the entire thing, including that final episode... 😬
It actually reminds me a bit of Nikita... and honestly, the only thing that actually landed for me was how much they overdo the fight scenes.
I mean, if someone actually lands a solid punch on you, there's no way you're getting back up... EVER. But instead, we get these ridiculous scenes where the bad guys just smash every single mirror and window in the house... 🙄

Reruns! Finally. I only caught the season finale last time, so this timing is actually perfect. The airtime is terrible, though—not that I’m in any position to complain.

Michelle Alvarez8 said:Honestly, that timing works perfectly for me. I get back from work, grab some lunch, settle in right in front of the TV, and then... Jennifer Garner. 😍

Ditto!

I actually missed the whole premiere run, and I didn't even touch the first season! I finally sat down to start it recently, and man, this show is absolutely incredible! 👍

I need a quick bit of info... since I haven't really kept up with this show, I'm not sure how far they got with the broadcast here in the States... was it just season 2 that aired on CNN, or did they manage to get through season 3 too?

Season three is currently rerunning on CNN.
...
Check the teletext if you don't believe me.

...
I mean, check the TV guide if you don't believe me.

It's actually season 2 rerunning... 🙄

Does it really matter?
...
Every time I look, it’s just the same thing happening all over again.

...
And they even have John Locke on their side(!)

Justin Patel said:Does it even matter?
...
It feels like I'm seeing the same patterns over and over again.

...
And they've got John Locke(!)

Yeah, I noticed that too... honestly, I feel like I'm spotting him in shows everywhere lately... I mean, the guy is just such a 👍 great actor!

So now he’s cool enough for you to notice.

...
He's in Lost and Alias because they share the same creator—J. J. Abrams.
Though, I doubt that's the only reason.

Justin Patel said:I guess you only notice him now because he's actually cool.

...
He’s in Lost and Alias since they share the same creator—J. J. Abrams.
Well, I mean, there's probably more to it than just that.

Does J. J. have any connection to Jag?

Man, Lena Olin is absolutely stunning!

🙂
