I would just like to say that this is the best show on TV. Great cast and great scripts. Did you hear that Garner signed on until 2008? I wonder what they have planned.

Yeah, I kinda miss Will . . . but if we could have more of Weiss, then that'd be great.

Yeah I heard that about Jen. This is the absolute best show on tv hands down. I've got a friend that said she's heard it's a good show, and I'm working on getting her addicted too.

btw, I FINALLY bought the first season DVD set last weekend. WOO! I've watched a few episodes here and there. I can't believe how clear it shows on DVD. I'm so used to my crappy (crappy because I have no clue where the spliter is to change it) cable shows, not to mention how much we're missing as far as sound goes by watching it on tv. It's truely worth it to spend the money on the DVD set. I LOVE the gag reel and all I have to say about it is, IT'S TOO SHORT! You know there are more outtakes than what they put on there and I would love to see them all. :) OH and that scene where Francie Whacks Wil upside the head when they're playing Xbox, or whatever they were playing, I knew that was an outtake they left in. You could tell by the way she hit him, she really hit him, it showed.

Oh getting back to Sunday's episode, I so love Jack for not losing his cover when that slime talked about nailing Syd and all that fun stuff. Then when Jack shot him the first time, and just as the slime ball was egging him on more, and reached for his gun, Jack finishes the job. WOO! That was great. :)

53. Conscious
gs: David Cronenberg () David Cronenberg (Dr. Brezzel) Kurt Fuller (Lindsey) Daniel Smith (Steven Dixon) Erica Leerhsen (Kaya)

After making a shocking discovery in the desert, Sydney agrees to submit to an experimental procedure conducted by an eccentric doctor (David Cronenberg, director of "Crash," "Naked Lunch," "The Fly"), designed to retrieve her lost memories. But while Jack and Vaughn look on, Sydney's mind proves surprisingly resistant to letting her remember her missing time -- and the process of recovering it could end up killing her. Meanwhile, Lauren makes a great sacrifice in order to make her alibi believable to Lindsey after breaking Sydney out of NSC custody, and Sloane finds himself boxed in by an unlikely enemy -- one who wants to see Sydney Bristow eliminated permanently

Hmmm looks like a couple of episodes and then a gap until Jan. 11. At least Season 2 is coming Tuesday on DVD.

So it won't be on for another month?

Actually, that's better than I thought.

I was thinking that all of January was going to be reruns . . . since February is the 2nd sweeps time of the year.

YAY! More episodes for a show I don't watch!

Been watching the season 1 dvd since Christmas. Fuck this is a good show.

I still have to purchase Seasons 1 & 2 . . .

I've seen them at circuit city for $45 each. Cheapest I've seen them. I'll finish season one today.

I have both. Just got season 2 for Christmas. I said it for the first season, and I'm going to say it for the second season, the gag reel was way too short! I want more! They were hilarious.

Gag reel?

Oooo . . . please tell me there's something involving the guy who plays Weiss . . . please?

Didn't you see the post on aliasfans with the 2 links to the extended reels? I downloaded them last night and have yet to watch them. Course I might just hold off until I get to a faster/better puter, like the next time I go to my brother's house.....

The guy who plays Wiess is Greg Grumberg. He has some funny things to say on the commentary tracks.

New episode tonight!!!

Sydney finds out what happened to her!!!

Can't wait!!!

I thought last night episode wasn't that good. I hated the ending, and as much as I love Kendall they needed more of everyone else. The whole Lazarey thing is uninteresting to me.

But, this could be because I have been watching Alias since Christmas abd I could be bored with it.

LOVED! it last night! Great to see Kendal, was wondering what happened to him. Even though there were no tears running down the man's face, Jack cried at the funeral. OOOOOOOOOHHHHH JACK'S DA MAN! He hot wired Syd to withstand brainwashing. WOO! I taped this last night as I always do, but my cousin stopped by and I missed a good portion of the first few minutes, before I went to watch in the basemnet. But I watched this today and was glad I did.

Oh that ending..... Before they showed the shooter's face, I knew it was a woman, but then when they showed who it was, my first thought was she's working for Sark. Then I thought JJ's pulling a fast one on us and it's Kendal. But I'm not too sure, because kendal would never put a hit on anyone, so now I'm thinking it's DSR, or whoever it is Lauren works for.

And Dixon knew! And that guy from The Covenant (sp?) that told Sidney to kill the guy in the wheelchair sounded like McKenas Cole, Quentin Taratino's character. All around a great episode. Just straightforward answers to the questions with no teasing and also presenting so many more questions.

What I want to know is:

1. Is The Tart (Lauren aka Mrs. Vaughn) actually working for the NSA? Maybe some strings were pulled and she was ordered to kill Lazaray (maybe by Lindsey's replacemnt)?

2. Is The Tart a double agent working for the Covenant and the NSA?

3. When The Tart met Sark in the car earlier this season, and he showed her the pictures of Sydney killing Lazaray, she looked shocked and upset. Was that because she was upset that Vaughn knew this and didn't tell her?

4. Maybe The Tart was a plant by the Covenant and she was set up to meet Vaughn and keep up with him in case Sydney showed up (thus explaining how they got together so quickly)?

Next Episode: Sunday, January 18: "Crossings"

Jack contacts a mysterious woman (Isabella Rossellini) with ties to Irina to help him free Sydney and Vaughn, who have been captured and face a North Korean firing squad. But Jack is faced with a curious conundrum when the woman tells him that she will not put the rescue plan in motion until he fulfills a favor — assassinate Sloane.

This is too cool. Just as I was reading the preview for this week's ep here, the radio station I've got on started playing that song that song by No Doubt. Speaking of that song, first of all, I thought it was perfect for when they used it, and second, I woke up to it Monday morning on this same station, and imediatly thought of the scene while lying in bed.

Another disappointing episode. I almost turned it off. Isabeela Rosalinis character was just awful. If you can't have Lena Olin then just drop the character. Knowing Lauren is the mole adds know suspense at all. And no more of those innane previews! I'm gonna watch the show anyway. I have lost so much interest in this show.

Just watched, ok got done about 45 minutes ago, tonight's episode and I have to say it was extremly well writen and smart. I sat there during the scenes with Cole and just couldn't figure out what was going on. I went from thinking Cole was the head of the Covenant, to thinking Irina was, then to Sloane being it, then to Lauren being it (after he pulled out the watches), man that had me guessing big time. What the heck was that green crap Sloane was injecting? I hate to say this, because I'm a firm believer that Jack's Sydney's biological father, that when Barnett was sitting across from Sloane I was expecting him to tell her he's Syd's dad. Now my reasoning for the Jack thing is, and I've been saying this since everyone started that Sloane's her real dad theory, if Jack had any doubts, he would have had a DNA test done to prove paternity.

But then what killed me was the preview for the next episode, 3 weeks away , Sloane telling Barnett that he's Syd's dad and Barnett not believing him/completly surprised, not expecting that to be the secret he's been hiding. I screamed when they showed that.

On to some cool news. I was at my oldest brother's house, the cop, and was surprised my older brother, Batman, showed up, long story. Anyway, some time around 8 somethng, out of the blue I was in the basement and walked by the kitchen down there when he asked if I had seen the entire season 2 of Alias yet. I told him I watched it as it aired and have seen all of season 3 so far. He then said he and his wife just got done watching it and that cliff hanger was killer. I was so surprised to find out he's a fan. He said they had seen season 1, but he never once said anything to me about it. I guess he might not have known until they got my name for the Christmas grab bag, of which I asked for season 2, among other things. So we talked about it for a bit, but not much because they haven't seen any of season 3 yet and are waiting for it to come out on DVD before they see it. I could never do that, waiting the summer out was bad enough, waiting a year or so is much worse.

This was a great episode.

Sloan being Sydneys dad was something I thought for a long time.
I thought tonights episode was this seasons "phase one"

Fucking three weeks till next episode.

It was obvious to me from the first 2 or 3 episodes of the show that Sloan was Sydney's biological father. As season 1 went on, and turned into season 2, and then to season 3, well, everything has been leading up this revelation.

Which makes me ask: Are we being baited? Is is a lie we were lead to believe, to think we came up with it on our own from day one?

I am asking this b/c it makes no sense that they would use this revelation as a teaser, instead of a cliff hanger. The perfect place would have been at the end of last night's episode. But, no, it will be somewhere in the middle of an episode 3 weeks from now.

Still, I have no doubt that it is the truth. The thing is, if the revelation that, to me at least, the show has been building towards for two and a half years, if it's something that is so small at this point that they can reveal it in a teaser, then, what's the real shitkicker that will be revealed in the next episode?

I think the whole father issue is no one knows for sure. Irina could have been sleeping with both at the time and neither Jack or Sloan knows for sure.

Any one know the schedule for the rest of the season?

So it will be on a regular schedule after next week. No more of this 2 or three week break.

I can't wait until it's back on.

Another so-so episode. They ruined the big surprise with the preview three weeks ago.

I did like the scene between Sydney and Vaughn about his dad and the anniversary of his dads death.





I hated the blatant F-150 product placement, and I like Fords.

I don't buy that Sloane's Syd's dad, I think Irina let him believe that, and that Jack is truely her dad. Someone on LJ said they think she did that to protect Syd, as in if Sloane thought she was his, then he wouldn't hurt/harm her. Good theory.

Loved that scene with Jack at the end, I was on the phone early on and missed almost everything that happened before the opeing credits.

Bought the season 1 soundtrack yesterday and it's awesome. I had it on in the car while driving around today and it was too fitting. I found myself laughing because I felt like I was on the show at times. lol

Last sudays episode was great. I loved the Vaughn/Sark disarm the bomb part. This felt like one of the older episodes.

Next weeks episode is going to be about Dixon! woo hoo.

I LOVED the part where Jack went into the interoagtion room and got the info out of that guy. AWESOME!

Can't wait for Sunday.

Jack rules!

I wonder what Sloan's true intentions are with the Dr. Is there more to this than getting her in his bed?
