I agree, I can't get enough of Alias..I hope it's on for a very long time!

2002-10-20T11:29:00.000-07:00

wow... this has been inactive. The new season rocks!

2002-08-01T11:52:00.000-07:00

Don't know....I know there's a book coming out, and Jen's bio book came out in May (I think)....it's a bit early for a DVD.

2002-07-30T12:45:00.000-07:00

Ooo..I hope so. :)

2002-07-23T07:45:00.000-07:00

Thanks Syd :)

Hey, I heard there's gonna be an Alias DVD next month. Is that true?!

2002-07-15T17:12:00.000-07:00

Cute wallpapers, and welcome Jo!

2002-07-13T06:47:00.000-07:00

This is a test.

2002-07-10T08:43:00.000-07:00

Hello! I'm new here. It's kinda embarrassing that I'm actually sharing this, but just check it out anyway. *grins* I made an Alias wallpaper! *lol* I'm not a rerun fan, so I kinda miss the show and my desktop needs some spicing up anyway.

Click here!

Can't wait for the new episodes to be aired!

2002-07-09T07:13:00.000-07:00

I did see the trailer for Daredevil..I am not too sure what I think of the outfit they have Ben Affleck in but Jennifer sure looked good. It should be a great movie.

2002-07-07T14:40:00.000-07:00

Wow, it's really dead around here...did anyone see the new trailer for Daredevil in 'Like Mike' and 'Minority Report'? The one in Like Mike confused me b/c the movie will probably rated R....*please no!!* but anyway....that's all I have to say for now =).

2002-07-05T23:37:00.000-07:00

This is a test...

2002-06-18T13:07:00.000-07:00

I think I may have missed one so it will be good to see it in the reruns. I could watch each episode over and over though..they were all pretty good.

2002-06-07T08:34:00.000-07:00

I'm doing okay since almost every ep is new for me b/c I started watching with "The Prophecy"....looking forward to seeing "Spirit" and a couple others.

2002-06-06T07:24:00.000-07:00

Nope..I need new Alias...not much else on now that Alias isn't.

2002-06-05T14:34:00.000-07:00

I am doing fine without any new Alias episode, but how about everyone else?

Charlie (of allalias.com)

2002-06-05T08:17:00.000-07:00

Those were great photos of her...She and Scott Foley make such a great looking couple. :)

2002-06-04T15:15:00.000-07:00

I don't think she'll do that. She's more level-headed than that, so to speak. She knows the show's had amazing success, and she knows better than to take it for granted. Neat photos, by the way. =)

2002-06-04T14:42:00.000-07:00

Hey Alias Fans,
Just found this on the web, and am posting it here. There's a handful of Jennifer G. photos from her recent appearance at the Mtv Music Awards. (not yet aired, but taped last week).
Check it out at IMDB The link is under "Event of the week".
I hope J.G. doesn't fall into the David Ducovney syndrome, or us ALIAS fans will be upset. In that, Since getting a taste od Big Budget Hollywood films (Daredevil, with Ben Afllek) She doesn't ditch her TV job, and go "hollywood" on us. I'd hate to see the fall of a great TV show so Soon.
Later

That could just be to fool us...as many have said, until I see a body, she isn't dead, at least I won't think she is until I see one. :)

2002-05-31T12:37:00.000-07:00

Quick update on Emily (or maybe I'm totally late, but either way): On the ABC Alias website, if you view the FAQ under the 'Background' category and read about the Alliance, it says that Emily is now deceased. ???

2002-05-31T09:40:00.000-07:00

Thank you Lisa for letting me join the blog =).

I agree with Cyen. I hope Hadalecki is out of our lives for good, because he was annoying as heck. And even though we never did actually see Hadalecki being shot, I think it's safe to assume he's gone *crosses fingers*

About favorite episodes....the last three, definitely..."A Broken Heart"...."Reckoning"....I haven't seen the entire season yet, but looking forward to reruns on ABCFamily.

Anyway, that's all for now. I have to go work on a neglected Alias fanfic. =) FF.net: Soul Artist

2002-05-29T05:38:00.000-07:00

Another blog to add to my little collection. :)

Thank you Lisa for the invitation.

Regarding fav episodes, I think that the most recent one is definitely up there for me. :) There are so many good episodes I would find it very very difficult to come up with a favorite. I don't even have any least favorite ones.

2002-05-21T14:30:00.000-07:00

Hey fellow bloggers!
Thanks to Lisa for allowing me to join. (great ALIAS fan website by the way)
I think we're gonna have to get used to the writers of ALIAS always playing with whether or not someone is really "dead" as they've already brought back several characters, and only hinted at others that "may" have passed on. Like Sloane maybe taking the poison himself (I don't think he did, it's not in his character. He'd rather kill his dying wife to further his career). I just hope they don't over-use this "vice" a couple times makes for suspenseful TV, but every episode it might become tiring :)
I also think Haladki is a goner. If for no other reason than Jack Bristow is a dangerous character, and that this guy endangered his daughters life. Two things that make for a deadly combination.

Great TV show!
I look forward to sharing my two cents with other ALIAS fans.

Lots of questions in ...30 years..., but one of them seemingly is not whether Haladki is really dead or even whether Jack actually shot him. We saw the gun go off, but Haladki was NOT in our view, why was that?

Anyway, like someone said, it will be a long summer.
Any favorite episodes?
Was it the episode before the last that Sydney did her Moulin Rouge number. Man I love her in Red hair.

There are a lot of things on the show that are inconsistent... we discuss them a lot at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/aliasclub/

2002-05-16T14:33:00.000-07:00

You know what I realized?! Parts of the show are incongruent. Maybe I just missed something so that's why I think that, but if I didn't - here's why.

Jack told Will (in that "meeting that never happened") that he had given that bug/pin (that doubles as a tracker) to Eloise Kurtz. What I don't understand is why/how Haladki/KGB was communicating with Will through it. If it was given to Eloise Kurtz, it should have been given to her under SD-6 order, correct? Seeing that Jack and Kurtz worked for SD-6, that's what makes sense. It wouldn't make sense for Jack to give an underclass, lower-ranked officer of SD-6 (since she was a fairly new recruit) a CIA-issued device. "Government-issue" just meant it was sophisticated, not necessarily CIA. SD-6 could have been privvy to the same kind of device.

"Deep Throat" apparently was supposted to come in "shortly" during Will's interrogation in Paris. If Deep Throat was Khasinau, it still doesn't make sense. Jack gave the pin to her, so how would KGB/Haladki be able to communicate with Will through it? Unless the pin was a plant for the CIA, and Eloise didn't know what it was really for... but why would Jack even associate/affiliate with someone so new to SD-6? Dixon doesn't even really talk to him, and Sydney and him never had contact up until a few months ago... what's the deal here? Anybody out there know? If you do, please inform me, because the more I think about it, the more confused I get!

Raffi's question:
the first in a series of random Alias questions -- anybody figured out if there is a pattern in which letters in the city names are highlighted as they come up?

Answer:
There is an explanation here http://pw2.netcom.com/%7Eoakgrove/aliasmisc.htm#letters of what the letters are for...

Almost Thirty Years

(from AllAlias.com - http://AllAlias.com )

Quotes & Notes
· “I was told you to keep you alive, but not comfortable” – Sark
· “Hello” – BITEME guy
· “I know her well enough to know that she tries to fix things”
· “Trust is a tricky thing” – Weiss
· “You had a cavity” – BITEME guy
· “If your doing what I think your doing, I’m in. If you need me” – Michael
· “Vaughn, it’s bigger than I thought”.
· “Thank you” – Will
· “I have waited almost thirty years” - Voice

Summary
In the last few weeks of Alias, it is revealed that Sloane knows the truth about SD 6, and Will found out the truth about SD 6. Sark shot him, and Will was brought to a room and chained up. Sark asks Will what the circumference is. Will says he doesn’t know. The “BITEME guy” comes in and says “hello”.

LOS ANGELES

At the apartment, Sydney and Francie are talking. Francie wants to open a restraunt. Sark calls Sydney, and tells her that she has 48 hours to give him the Ampule, or Will dies. At the pier, Jack and Sydney talk. Jack looks into getting the page and the ampule. Sydney has to not tell Vaughn about this.

At the garage, Sydney does a great job of lying to Vaughn, but he sense things. At the CIA, Michael tells Weiss that he senses Sydney isn’t telling her everything.

At a beach house, Arvin and Emily talk. He tells her the truth about SD 6. She looks unbelieving. She shakes. We don’t hear everything he says.

Sydney and Jack talk. He gives her a tool to track Sloane’s speech. Jack will reorder the phonemes so that it is the right password. Sydney goes into Sloane’s office. She tries to gather words. She gathers the right phonemes, leaves the office, and smiles at Dixon. Will is getting drilled. The BITEME guy said that he had a cavity

An Alliance member comes to talk to Sloane. Sloane wants to bring in Emily, and that he wants to be a high-ranking officer. The Alliance member tells him that he can become high-ranking officer if he kills his wife.

At a beachfront (near the facility that Page 47 is in that is surrounded by water), Sydney gets into a suit, and goes into the water, but Dixon followed her. Sydney went into a scuba suit, dove into the water, and opened a underwater gate.

At the CIA, Vauhgn is in a meeting. Weiss reported that Vaughn was suspicious of Sydney. Sydney breaks into a lab. She enters the right phonemes, enters the lab, and gets the page. Jack breaks into a facility,

Sydney got out of the water, and Dixon is there. He asks her who he is working for. Sydney tells her to believe in her. Dixon asks for a better reason. Dixon turned away.

Jack calls the CIA. He says that he is doing what they were afraid of, but they will get the ampule back, in addition to Page 47.

Back with Will, he has lost a tooth. Or maybe more than that! There is blood all over his chin. Will is crying.

At the paper, the reporter that Will gave the story in case anything happened to him wanted to print the story.

Sydney and Jack put some of the ampule on the page. Jack beats up Scumball. He sprays something on him. Scumball admits he is the mole. Jack pulls the trigger.

At the train station, Michael finds Sydney (secretly). He came to stop Sydney from giving the page to save Will’s life. Michael talks about his father’s diary.

In an airplane, Vaughn, Sydney, and Jack are there. Back with Will, he is prepared for exchange, but he fights back. He succeeds for a little while, but not long.

Sloane puts a poison in Emily’s wine. She says that she forgives him for being who he is.

In TAIPAI, Michael and Sydney (with Blue hair) are at a party. Jack is at a pier for the exchange with Sark. They make the exchange. Will hugs Jack, says “thank you”. At the party, Sydney and Michael are hard at work. She does a lot of super-fast super-kick-butt action. In room 47, there is a huge red ball. It is really huge. She says “Vaughn, it’s bigger than I thought”. The connection with Vaughn is lost.

Some guards see Sydney. She sets an explosive, and runs awat from the explosion. The big ball, which is now water, puts out the explosion, and floods the hallway. A safety door closes, but Michael doesn’t get through. Sydney frantically tries to break down the door. A guard shoots her.

Sydney is in a room, chained down. Kas. comes in. She says she has questions for him. He says to ask her boss. Sydney is shocked, as he thought The Man was the boss. He says yes, The Man is the boss, but that he is not the boss. Then, a figure comes in. Laura Bristow’s (I think) voice then says “I have waited almost Thirty Years…”

OK, folks, it will be a very long summer.

Quotes from "ALMOST 30 YEARS"

SYDNEY: Just think about this for a minute. Just think about everything we've been through. Just think about who I am. Now, what I am going to ask you to do is just accept the fact that I cannot tell you what this is about. What I am doing is classified but Dixon... I swear to you that I am not betraying this country. I could never do that. You know that!
DIXON: I don't need rhetoric, Sydney. Right now, I need a reason not to report you to security section.

"A gentleman I know makes this... truth serum. I would have used it earlier except that one in five men who receive it has an unfortunate reaction. Results in... paralysis, among other things."
~ Suit and Glasses, to Will

VAUGHN: If you're doing what I think you're doing, I'm in if you need me.
SYDNEY: Thank you.

"I understand the risks you've taken here and you have my respect for that."
~ Jack to Vaughn

"One in five, you little bitch! ONE IN FIVE!"
~ Will to Suit and Glasses, after stabbing him with the needle

"Arvin... I can't judge you for what you do. I was never there, I was never faced with the choices you had to make and I have never -- What I'm trying to say is -- I forgive you."
~ Emily to Sloane, before drinking her poisoned wine

SARK: Do you feel comfortable trading priceless documents for a low-grade reporter?
JACK: You should read Tippin's stuff. It's not so bad.

"Please pass along to your daughter how much I enjoyed her stage show in Paris. She has a marvelous singing voice."
~ Sark to Jack

THE MAN: I have waited almost thirty years for this.
SYDNEY: Mom?

EPISODE 22. "ALMOST 30 YEARS"

Airdate: Sunday.05.12.02

Will, tranquilized and badly beaten, is dragged into a dingy storeroom, where Mr. Sark asks him about "the circumference"... with no answers. A sinister Taiwanese interrogator -- "Suit And Glasses," who tortured Sydney months before -- enters with an array of frightening instruments...

Sydney receives a call from Sark, setting up the exchange of her friend for the Rambaldi page that was stolen in Paris and the ampule of solution... to take place in Taipei, in 24 hours.

Jack agrees to help recover Will. He can easily get the ampule from CIA storage, but recovering the page will be tricky -- it's in an offsite SD-6 vault located off the coast of Santa Barbara... and they will need Sloane's fingerprint and voiceprint in order to gain access. Jack suggests that they study the Rambaldi page themselves and determine its value, before negotiating further with Sark. He also tells Sydney that she must keep her plan from Vaughn -- the CIA has a mole.

When Vaughn explains to Sydney that Will is still likely to be alive, he senses that she hiding something. Later, he tells Weiss that he suspects that Sydney has her own plan to rescue Will.

Her cancer now in remission, Emily is out of the hospital. At a remote beach house, Sloane finally tells her the truth about SD-6...

Later at SD-6, Alliance member Ramon Veloso explains to Sloane that they only allowed Emily to live because her future had been pre-determined her by lymphoma. Sloane demands that her life be spared... but protocol insists that she be terminated. If he carries out their order, however, Veloso affirms that he will become a fully-fledged member of the Alliance...

Wearing a concealed recording device, Sydney visits Sloane in his office, to speak candidly about Emily... In reality, she is distracting him while Jack hacks into Sloane's computer to collect the needed passwords, and takes a voiceprint and fingerprint

...Having now stolen the Rambaldi page from the remote SD-6 island vault, Sydney climbs out of the water, only to be confronted...by Dixon. He demands to know why she used the codename "Freelancer" on Mount Aconcagua... Sydney is pleading when she insists that she is not betraying her country, but also that she cannot reveal the truth to him... and Dixon walks away.

Meanwhile, Vaughn is summoned into a meeting with Devlin and Haladki. Weiss has reported that Vaughn no longer fully trusts Sydney, and now they all need to know what may be hiding.

Jack calls Devlin. After taking the ampule from the CIA, he assures that he will return the stolen item once his mission is completed... Devlin demands that Jack return immediately.

Since Will has disappeared, his friend Abby, at the newspaper, goes straight to editor Litvack, with his sealed envelope about SD-6. And the editor agrees to run the story...as front page news.

Using the Rambaldi solution, Jack and Sydney finally expose the mysterious page. It reveals drawings for the same "Mueller device" stolen by Sydney in prototype stage, from Taipei months ago. Jack explains that this might explain Khasinau's search for "the circumference," a precise set of instructions for building the device in this drawing.

On a hunch, Jack abducts Haladki, who under pain of torture, admits to being the CIA mole...and that he has been working for Khasinau. The instructions are for a "battery" that Khasinau has been constructing in a Taipei lab... And after a treacherous, and deranged Haladki spills all...Jack silences him, for good.

Vaughn later finds Sydney alone at a train station. He has figured out what she is planning, and agrees to help save Will. With Jack, they will fly to Taipei...and while Jack makes the exchange for her friend, Sydney and Vaughn are to simultaneously detonate the lab where the battery is located.

At home, Sloane mixes a powder into a glass of wine. With resolve, he and Emily raise their glasses for a final toast... and she forgives him for the mistakes that he has made...

Meanwhile, after hours of torture, Will still hasn't revealed much about "the circumference." When he is finally unchained, he plunges a syringe into the neck of his sadistic interrogator. Guards seize Will, and drag him from the room.

In an alleyway, Jack meets with Sark and exchanges the page -- the drawing, now exposed -- for Will, who has been spared, bloody, but alive... Sobbing, Will embraces the stony-faced man who has handed him back his future...

Across town, Sydney and Vaughn find the Mueller device, behind lock and key, in a Taiwanese dance club. It is, in fact, similar to the prototype she retrieved before...only much, much bigger.

Sydney detonates the explosive, unleashes a tremendous flood... and she and Vaughn dash through the underground complex, trying to escape the approaching torrent...

Sydney makes it through a security door, but cannot hold it open long enough for Vaughn, who is trapped -- on the wrong side, in a room filling, perilously fast, with rushing water... and seconds later, Vaughn is gone. When Sydney turns, she is knocked out by sharp blow from a security guard.

She awakens to a familiar scene: she is once again chained to a chair, in a Taipei storeroom. But this time, instead of "Suit And Glasses," her interrogator is Khasinau... who explains that "his boss" has questions for her.

Puzzled, Sydney admits she thought "The Man" was the one in charge... But Khasinau is not "The Man." The door opens... "The Man" is a woman... Sydney's mother...
