| Ummm, yeah, so I watched 2 hours of Alias DVDs last night while I was supposed to be studying for my MIT midterm. Everytime I see that pile of photocopies on my desk I just want to hurl. I have a physically violent reaction. I think I'm going to develop a rash. Kidding, only barely. So, back to lovely Alias. People, Season 1 is the most glorious set of storytelling arcs ever put on this earth. Seriously, I miss it a LOT. We had great characters, a kickass pilot, and the best series of episodes to end off the season. That season finale was a culmination of all arcs, everything that the characters and the show stood for. That train station scene melted. A loved Jack's relationship with Vaughn, and Will. I miss Will. Things were complex, angstsy, and alternatively playful, fun, and light. I miss that juxtaposition, and the direction. So tightly written and well thought out. No annoying resets mid season. It was so much FUN! Tonight's ep is supposed to be better, though, so with that, I wish you all A (Hopefully) Happy Alias Day! PS. I love my DVDs! I saw the writer's commentary on Ep 17 - fantastic. Deleted scenes - some Syd-Will ones that were really great. Pilot diary and stunts...I want to work on this show. It looks like so much fun!! Thank you! |

gbk | 10-19-03 11:44pm Damn, I really need to watch that pilot again. It's been too long... And only 2 hours of Alias? Impressive restraint... |
