Tonight's Alias

[Nightfall]

Agreed Doug. The guy is playing everyone for a patsy. I just wonder how DEEP the skeletons are buried in this season.

Speculation...

Spoiler

I seem to remember a Trek: Next gen episode where they explain that cells from the stomach are superb for cloning?

Could the giant rambaldi devise be a cloning machine?

Could 'evil' Sydney be a clone?

This is what I think.

This is exactly my thinking and I believe the fact they

Spoiler

found her DNA at the fire in her house

confirms this.

I rolled my eyes at this and am on the fence as to whether Alias has jumped the shark. It started after they tore down SD-6 last season. Bah.

 

[Nightfall]

Dude, come on. It's way too early to say it's jumped the shark, just because of the evil clone possibility.

(Besides they might have used other techniques to simulate the DNA OR Sloan may have had gotten it altered somehow.

I not sure it has jumped the shark, but I am concearned that they have hit the reset button twice already.

Maybe, but depends on how you define "reset" I mean sure things have changed, BUT Syndey is still Sydney. She still has a strong sense of her self. And she's pretty much the show's impetus next to her dad (whom I'm glad to see is pretty much the same driven guy he is.). That plus the fact while Dixon has changed jobs, he's still pretty much the stone Sy relies on. Same is true with our favorite tech guy.

The first reset was the change from being a double agent and trying infiltrate and learn about SD-6 and its activities. The whole focus of the show changed from complex cover assignments to strait CIA hunt the bad guys. Sure the charactes were the same but the focus of the show changed and the characters were given completely different roles. Then came reset 2 at the begining of this season. Characters are written out and everyones roles have changed again. I also think of it as resets because for the most part all prior knowlege of past events is now irrelevant to understanding what is going on.

The show is as good as ever to me. The BIG RESET is great. Takes alot of balls to do what they did with a show that is already successful. They aren't ignoring previous storylines which is fine by me.

 

[Nightfall]

Not necessarily. Sloan, despite appearances, still stands to me to be the biggest evil. And while he might not have the operational resources he once used, you can be damn sure he's listening to EVERYTHING. While it's changed in format, I don't see how this season (other than some more complications) is different from season 1 or season 2.

Exactly. While things have changed, I don't see how previous storylines are ignored. Just altered in their texture.

What about the senator Sydney kipnapped and lied to saying SD-6 had a congressman on their payroll and that only she and her father were in any position to figure out who it is? Somebody forget about this? I didn't.
