WOW why is there not a thread for this already???? SERIOUSLY!?!?!

Just started watching this again. Halfway through the 1st episode of Season 1.

[Show spoiler]

Anyway.....who else loves this show? I heard that ABC made them back off the

[Show spoiler]

stuff halfway through the show because they found it "confusing" or something.

Imagine if they did that shit to Lost? Oh my God would that be annoying.

I miss ALIAS. I never got to finish the last season. I wish they showed re-runs in other networks, but they don't.

Jennifer Garner is beautiful!

Alias is my favorite show of all time along with Chuck, so me showing my appreciation for it is easy.

I still think Alias had one of the best pilot episodes I've seen. The show had me at the red hair.

I do still want to watch that movie sometime, but I liked the red hair even better on Jennifer Garner.

Excellent movie. It's in German, but has a very good English Dub if you don't like subtitles.. stars Franka Potente, who was Matt Damon's girlfriend in Bourne Identity.

Big Alias fan, especially the first three seasons. Thought it really went downhill the fourth season and got really bad the fifth season. I thought the show got bad when Jennifer Garner was pregnant in real life, because part of what made the show great was the action scenes and Garner couldn't do those pregnant.

Groo The Perverted · 04-12-2010, 05:50 PM

On Season 2 Episode 6 now.

I know nothing about this show. Does it have any similarities to shows like Lost and Fringe, which were also made by J.J. Abrams, or is it completely different?

IT. IS. AWESOME! It's essentially one long storyline over five seasons. A the later seasons aren't as good as the first three, but overall it's cool. Action packed and a huge mythology ala Lost, with the Rambaldi artifacts.

It has many actors that you'll recognize from other shows.

Bradley Cooper (The Hangover, Yes Man) is Jennifer Garner's best friend Will Tippin.

Terry O'Quinn (John Locke) is an FBI handler.

Victor Garber (Eli Stone's boss) is Jennifer's Dad.

Tons of guest stars like Christian Slater, Ethan Hawke, Roger Moore and Danny Trejo.

Plus Greg Grunberg (Matt Parkman from Heroes, The Pilot from Lost's Pilot) is a CIA guy.

Plus John Casey's old sensei Carl Lumbly is in it.

Not to mention the coolest nerd in the world.

I'm sold. Thanks, as soon as Lost ends and I catch up with Fringe and Dexter this will be the next show that I watch

Groo The Perverted · 04-14-2010, 08:35 AM

Watching Season 2 Episode 13 right now, which I think is quite possibly the best episode of the entire series. This episode aired after the Super Bowl the year ABC had it in 2002 (I think).

This is the episode where

[Show spoiler]

WOW at this whole episode! I've seen the entire series, and I can't think off the top of my head a more action packed and drama filled, completely intense episode of this series.

disney-boy · 04-14-2010, 08:44 AM

^ Phase One was one of my fave episodes they did was epic.

I loved alias I miss it, wish they would make a movie.

lettucenpico · 04-14-2010, 02:21 PM

Don't forget the hot Melissa George was in season 3 or 4. Michael Vaughn's wife in the show.

Arvin Clone · 04-14-2010, 10:10 PM

I love Alias! I picked my user name after the fake Arvin Sloane. One of my favorite characters besides Jennifer Garner is Marshall Flinkman. I'm ashamed I don't know His real name.

The explanation of his gadgets was hilarious. When Marshall got tortured in one of the episodes I nearly cried. If you Guys have the DVD's You have to check out the outtakes. They are some of the funniest that I have ever seen.

And don't forget about Quentin Tarantino in Season one. He appeared in four episodes.

And his name is Kevin Weisman.

He was only in TWO episodes in Season 1. The Box part 1 and 2.

Then again in (I believe) Season 3.
