"Alias"

[Superevie]

Does any one watch the awesome spy show "Alias" starring Jennifer Garner? I love the show and watch it every Sunday. I am always surprised at the mid-season plot flips and Jennifer Garner's butt-kicking abilites.

Only when "Law & Order" is a repeat, it's an okay show.

 

[WildFire]

Its kinda predictable really. Of course, I really only watch Adult Swin (yeah Family Guy) and Law and Order. Of course, I include time for Scrubs and Ed too.

 

[Strider]

I've heard of it, but I never watch it... Only TV show I watch is "Who's Line Is It Anyway?" Awesome show... (I use to watch Invader Zim on Nick, but they canceled it)

 

[Smaasnekje]

don't have the channel they send it on...

 

[Eklektikos]

Watch it on occasions of extreme boredom, but it's just fluff.

If I want a show about government agents, I'll take 24 thank you very much.

 

[Dark Ascendant]

I watch it, it's not bad. I don't hve much interest in it, just Jennifer Garner.

I don't care about jennifer garner, or spys or crime shows so no I don't like it or watch it, I like sci-fi/fantasy Tv series (Star Trek, B5, Farscape, Angel) and historical or war based movies (like saving private ryan and blackhawk down)

Alias is one of the best shows going. The 2 hour season finally is on tomorrow night, must watch it.

 

[Yoda Power]

I watched the first 5-6 episodes, then civ became more fun again..

 

[Esckey]

The only episodes that I watched was the 2 with Quinton Taentino(sp?) I think it was a 2parter at least. Other then that I hate the show. Seems to be more of a excuse to get Gardner half naked and doing all these flexable moves so the people behind the show can draw in more of the male veiwers

When the main character is a female,it's always somewhat diffenrent from the films or tv series with super male hero.It's just more attractive in a way,superwoman does all the cool stuff and escape in one piece.

Actually she is hardly half naked at all, the most that you see in an episode is pretty much what they show on the adds which is not much at all. I've seen worse at the beach.

The crux of the show that she is a CIA agent that was recruited into another organisation posing as the CIA by her father who happens to work for the real CIA and he recruits her into the real CIA as well as still working for the fake CIA.
She goes through a lot of moral dilemma's as well because her father who works for the real CIA as well as the fake CIA was married to a Russian spy that married him to get some info out of him, but they ended up having Sidney and she ran off to be a bad guy.
She had since been incahoots with the diredtor of the fake CIA and she handed herself in after her daughter shot her.... etc etc

The series is nice, just, after Nikita, I'm a very pretentious customer

Hey, we haven't come this far yet...

Yes, currently there are 4 american 45-min shows that I watch, West Wing, 24, Alias, Dark Angel (the best first), and three of them are on the same night (+futurama), so the schedule is a bit tight that night...

 

[onejayhawk]

I never miss it, but I do not find it rewatchable. The gimicks are catchy, and the villians are smooth enough to be almost realistic. Now and then it even gives something resembling true drama.

On the whole its the Best bubble gum show out there.

I just don't find Alias to be anything but another boring american spy series. 24 is terrible too...
Why not making them more deeper than some kind of half fashion - half kickboxing show?

I'm not Jennifer Garner fan and those fight scenes are quite laughable in best.
I also find it amazing that Garner is supposed to be this super tough agent but in many cases is in tears or is fearing for her life.

It's crap from hell in my book.

Television... Bah... But I might see it now sometime, my monitor just crashed. Bummer.
