Alias Discussion

Why are people still watching this show. I got bored with it half way into Season 3. It just stopped being good. Sydney being pregnant makes for boredom, and that replacement chick (sorry, not good with names) just doesn't cut it.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Jennifer Garner has a manly face, is bony, and has no breasts.

What?

Most amazing jew boots

Why did the most recent episode end with Sydney getting pseudo-cloned unto the black chick (who I always thought was cool.) I guess this is how they're going to decide to play out the whole Rambaldi prophecy with the lady who looks suspiciously like Sydney fucking up the world.

Or maybe clone-Sydney is just a red herring for real-Sydney to actually take over the planet, but I doubt that much darkness in her could be revealed in a few episodes.

Can someone tell me what the full Rambaldi device actually turned out to be? That shit had me hyped for Season 1-2 but it never seemed to go anywhere important.

JJ Abrams seems to have trouble keeping stuff simple and likes to apply science fiction twists to stuff. Alias was fine as a spy show, but the introduction of Rambaldi was like "huh?". Somehow it got pulled off and - for a time - made the show more intriguing. JJ was sure to make it known from the first episode of Lost that there was a sci-fi/fantasy twist so that the same mistake wouldn't be made of alienating viewers after the season has already begun.

I wonder if there's any kind of crazy sci-fi plot in Mission Impossible III.

How ya doing, buddy?

But I thought the giant red floating ball (wasn't it called "the circumference"?) was just part of the Rambaldi device? Sydney encountered two of them in Season 1 and they seemed like part of something larger. Maybe not.

I just thought all the Rambaldi manuscripts together made some awesome thing.

And didn't Sloane at one point say he put it together and and it simply played back a message of love that somehow changed his outlook on life?

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Yeah I remember seeing Sloane's daughter as a zombie. That shit was just dumb.

Actually the show might have jumped that shark at that exact moment. Total lack of originality.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Wow, J.J. Abrams is an ass for not telling.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

So was the Rambaldi device anything more than a giant red ball of water?

FELIPE NO

Boring.

So what about the prophecy and Sydney destroying the planet, etc. How does that work out?

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

So JJ Abrams is full of shit. I wonder what it would be like if someone went back in time back when audiences were really hyped about Rambaldi and explained the whole thing to them.

This among other reasons is why I've officially given up on Lost.

I've also been informed that Mission Impossible 3 starts off awesome and then ends disappointingly. I want someone to confirm this, so I can know that JJ Abrams just likes giving people handjobs but letting go once you're about to orgasm so you merely dribble.

How ya doing, buddy?

But eternal life is so... Cliche. And yes I do remember that fellow that was too old. You kind of assume that if its been put right in front of your face it's not really the secret to it all. Surely revealing that it is can be a twist... In this case it just doesn't work out that way, I don't know. I guess because you desire something much cooler all the while; eternal life seems like it could be one of the things Rambaldi was capable of but you still expect his actual device to be BETTER than that.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
