Alias Season 1

[dr_tectonic]

We just finished watching the first season of Alias on DVD; enjoyed it quite a bit, though it's pretty freakin' rude on the cliffhanger scale. Thoughts:

The last episode was a particularly nice coming-full-circle kind of thing.

The number of loose ends left flapping spectacularly to cause problems in season two was pretty impressive.

They do a very good job of giving characters distinct personalities. The reactions that Will Tippin has in a number of spots in the last couple episodes, for example, are kind of unexpected and much more interesting than many of the things they could have had him do.

I would posit that the "point" of season one is: personal loyalties are more important than the job. (If you're a good person, anyway.)

I'm glad we're not watching this as it was broadcast; I don't know that I could take the waiting...

It was going to be interruption free, but alas, the shrub is speaking to the nation and as such, Alias is pre-empted tonite.... I'm sure that if they run anything after the speech it will Lost (ABC's flavor-du-jour).

You're right of course. It ruined my morning when my sister pointed it out. Of course, I've not yet caught up on last week's episode, which is taped, but, not yet watched, so, I've got a back-up. But, still...

Grr. Arrgh.

Ooops. I mean, Bad Robot. ;)
