Official Alias Thread

[zigbaldi]

cmon, look at him.

go to hell buddy

[zigbaldi]

Hey, someone's gotta fuck her. Might as well be Affleck.

No, might as well be me

[Jimbaldi]

someone has to die, and gay tea party waste of life might as well go

[zigbaldi]

this is a serious matter. Something must be done

[FunkyTeaParty]

I'm sorry. I'm just fucking with you guys. I don't like Affleck either. Red Sox rootin' scumbag.

I'm sorry for your loss.

I'll leave you to cry in your KY.

[zigbaldi]

No need to bring the Sox down, just that Ass clown Affleck

[zigbaldi]

I think Jim's working up a plan for us. Id say give him a few minutes and he'll share it with us

[Talula62]

Whoa. I think we need to dial the crazy down a couple notches. ;)

[JimiThang1]

Whoa. I think we need to dial the crazy down a couple notches. ;)
Hahah I was waiting for you to show up...nice comeback. ;)

[zigbaldi]

NO, this is the shittest news EVER

[Talula62]

:lol Derek. Glad I could deliver.

Ziggy, I know your heart is broken and that sucks. For real, but - come on - she wants to have a baby and we should be fucking excited for her. I am.

Though I won't pretend that I'm not a little bit worried about the show. If Syd gets knocked up THAT'S when I'll lose it.

[zigbaldi]

It sucks for Me and the Show. I dont want them to go down the Baby path on Alias, and especially if its something out of J.J.'s control. It forces them to do something they dont want to on the show, and that cant be good

[Jimbaldi]

hey ben say goodbye

[JimiThang1]

You mean you wouldn't kill for the spawn of Rambaldi storyline?? I for one would enjoy something like that!

[zigbaldi]

not if it goes against what JJ already has in store

[JimiThang1]

JJ isn't writing the show right now. He is just in an executive producer role and will be even more torn away from the show (and Lost) next season because he starts filming MI:3 in July. Here's an interview where he states this:

http://actionadventure.about.com/od/news/p/aaabramsMI3LA.htm

[Talula62]

Nope. Babies kill shows. They are evil like that.

[Jimbaldi]

ill punch jennifer garner really hard in the stomach and kill her unborn child if it means more alias.

[zigbaldi]

Nope. Babies kill shows. They are evil like that.

yup i agree

[zigbaldi]

ill punch jennifer garner really hard in the stomach and kill her unborn child if it means more alias.

kind of drastic, but i wouldn't stop you

[FunkyTeaParty]

ill punch jennifer garner really hard in the stomach and kill her unborn child if it means more alias.

Big fan?

[zigbaldi]

whatever it takes, i guess

[Jimbaldi]

ya. ill kill a whole bus load of people jihad style for more alias

[zigbaldi]

thats what i call commitment:lol

[Talula62]

ill punch jennifer garner really hard in the stomach and kill her unborn child if it means more alias.

Okay now you're just being a prick.

No one said this means no more Alias.

[Jimbaldi]

talula, ive got a good mind to strap a bomb to your dog next time you let him out. if you have a dog. if you dont, ill just strap 40 pounds of semtex to the chassis of your car.

[zigbaldi]

calm down talula, hes just kidding im sure

[zigbaldi]

Alright we need to get jim to that hospital, ASAP

[Jimbaldi]

shutup ziggy

[zigbaldi]

oh no you dit-ent!

[Jimbaldi]

im declaring war on assfleck

[Talula62]

I know it's just a joke, but jokes about punching pregnant women in the stomach aren't funny. I could joke about kickin' y'all in your macked nuts, but I know that shit ain't funny either.

[Jimbaldi]

i wish you would kick me in the nuts, just so i could feel something, to let me know im alive

[zigbaldi]

my nuts were macked out, until this shite. What reason do i have to live? Tell me Dammit!! AHHHHHHH!!

[Talula62]

i wish you would kick me in the nuts, just so i could feel something, to let me know im alive

:lol Well, if you want me to.....

[Jimbaldi]

*spreads eagle*

ok

[zigbaldi]

me next

[penn darvis]

I know it's just a joke, but jokes about punching pregnant women in the stomach aren't funny. I could joke about kickin' y'all in your macked nuts, but I know that shit ain't funny either.
I'd take one for the team if Assfleck would just die.

[zigbaldi]

I'd take one for the team if Assfleck would just die.

Way to take one Penn. I wont forget this!

[Jimbaldi]

ill take good care of your wife/girlfriend/daughter if they're hot. but seriously, thanks.

[Talula62]

Wow. I feel like such a dominatrix.

[Jimbaldi]

i'll even put you in my sig and avatar

[zigbaldi]

did you kick him yet?

[Talula62]

You called Stace a bitch? *kicks Jim in the nuts*

[Jimbaldi]

ya i did

[zigbaldi]

Jimithing: did you send me a message?

[JimiThang1]

I sent it to the wrong person my bad zig. I was sending something to one of the mods about some guys in DMBc who is making threads about dave's cousin.

[zigbaldi]

anyways.....i cant wait for wednesday. At lease she's not pregnent for the rest of the season

[zigbaldi]

i woke up hoping last night was all a bad dream, Guess i was wrong

[JimiThang1]

Hey Talula you there?

[Talula62]

Yep!

[JimiThang1]

They're gone...

[Talula62]

NO WAY! Wow.

Edited to add: :lol :lol :lol

[JimiThang1]

Yea you can't give them rep points anymore...that means they are gone.

[Talula62]

Is anyone ever really gone though??? [cue creepy trumpet squealing LOST music] :lol

[JimiThang1]

You mean Irina isn't dead?!??!?

[Talula62]

:lol

Yeah, Danny and Irina and Will and the original actual Francie and Vivica Fox and Emily and Elena's Henchman are all going to be back for the season finale. :)

[shoegal_97]

danny will!?!?! saaaaaaawweeet!








yes im kidding too :lol

[JimiThang1]

Hey you forgot the most important one of all....SARK!! ;)

[penn darvis]

:lol

Yeah, Danny and Irina and Will and the original actual Francie and Vivica Fox and Emily and Elena's Henchman are all going to be back for the season finale. :)
Don't forget Cole.

...and Roger Moore's back from the dead as well.

[JimiThang1]

Don't forget Cole.

...and Roger Moore's back from the dead as well.
Hell yea I've been wanting Cole back forever!! Though I hear he is directing the CSI finale...damn :confused

[Talula62]

Well, I didn't include Cole or Sark because they aren't dead. ;)

[JimiThang1]

Ah quite true!

[Talula62]

Okay, new and real guest star for the finale. This is really nothing that exciting unless you count its towards continuity. Well.....and you get excited about continuity. :lol

Brodien will be back. Played by dude who played Richard on Felicity.

[JimiThang1]

Who was Brodien again?

[penn darvis]

Who was Brodien again?
The dude in the first episode this season that Syd dresses up in the bathroom. Syd gave him her earrings.

Remember?

[JimiThang1]

Ahhh yea I remember.

[Talula62]

Who wants to see a super-spoilery, very awesome pic??????

Seriously - it's REALLY spoilery. If you actually think about it. Finale-spoilery. But, I'm already spoiled on it so...........I think that's enough information for you to decide if you want to see it or not. This is just a link.

http://lenaolin.net/articles/tvguidemay152005-02.jpg

[JimiThang1]

I can't look!!

[Talula62]

I'm such a tease, aren't I?

[penn darvis]

Shit.

Tatula, you're awesome.

[JimiThang1]

ok I looked...that wasn't as bad as I expected. Very interesting. Hey steve did you notice we are troll free now? ;)

[Talula62]

Shit.

Tatula, you're awesome.

No you are. :lol

Tomorrow night is going to kick ass!!

Ohh. Yeah. Definitely. :thumbsup

See, I told you you were awesome!

I think I just had a heart attack. I would die. :multi :multi

[JimiThang1]

http://tv.yahoo.com/feature/alias.html

3 short clips for the show tomorrow night.

[Talula62]

The computer keeps cutting off the last part of that 3rd clip. Where he's like, "don't you want to ask me something that matters?" And Syd says, Such as? And he stands up and says something but I can't get any sound. Help??

I apparently can't wait for 7 hours.

[JimiThang1]

I haven't watched them yet...I don't know if I want to.

[snapmcd]

ok I looked...that wasn't as bad as I expected. Very interesting. Hey steve did you notice we are troll free now? ;)

I haven't even finished backreading, and there's still 15 minutes left in the ep, and I have noticed that.

( :bounce )

edit: have to spread the rep around, jimi, before I can give you more :)

[JimiThang1]

That was an interesting episode. We found out everything that sloane was doing last year was all to know good in a matter of 2 minutes? Why the hell couldn't they have told us that last year???

[Talula62]

That episode was awesome. I love the hypnotic dream sequence stuff on this show!!

Weird that Elena wasn't mentioned at ALL in this ep. Like, "Sophia" just totally disappeared or something. :rolleyes

[JimiThang1]

She'll come back next week I'm sure because I have a feeling they are going to figure out that Elena was the one who brainwashed cloane to think he was sloane and then track her down.

[Talula62]

Oh yeah - really old dude who killed himself (which btw, please, that totally wasn't sugar he was putting in his coffee/tea - i think everyone probably called that one) TOTALLY works for Elena. Which is why he killed himself.

Yeah, she'll be back. It's just weird when the end of the ep centers on one person and then you watch the next ep and they don't even mention it. Like when Sloane went batshit on that dillettante!!

[JimiThang1]

I think him going batshit was just trying to give us a hint that he truly isn't good yet. I think the true sloane will come out over these final 3 episodes.

[Talula62]

I think Jen got #3 in Maxim.

Oh, yeah, and I loved how Sloane is like, "It's a struggle for me. Everyday. Everyday." at the end. I loved that.

[JimiThang1]

Hell yea she is #3 that's awesome. I can't wait to get the June Maxim now!

[Talula62]

Hey, did 48 monks die....????? Spoooky.

[JimiThang1]

Hey, did 48 monks die....????? Spoooky.
It wasn't 47 monks?

[Talula62]

Someone on another board said it was 48 monks. I thought it was 45. It wasn't 47 though - but apparently 47 was on some of those documents. I didn't see any 47 in this ep.

[JimiThang1]

I'll look through for the 47's when I download the episode.

[penn darvis]

Oh yeah - really old dude who killed himself (which btw, please, that totally wasn't sugar he was putting in his coffee/tea - i think everyone probably called that one) TOTALLY works for Elena. Which is why he killed himself.


How can you call Angus Scrimm a really old dude? I know he is, but give the man a little more respect. His return was one of the few things I didn't know about and when I saw his name in the credits, I completely flipped.

[penn darvis]

It wasn't 47 monks?
47 stung
+1 head blown off
_______________
48 dead monks

[snapmcd]

The whole bee thing was a little X-Files. Anyone else notice that?

[JimiThang1]

Yea it was very similar to that bee storyline in the x-files...I did notice that. But these bees were being used for something totally different.

[shoegal_97]

Okay so what happened with the Arvin Cloane? Did he just die or he's gonna be locked up or what? We couldn't tell

[JimiThang1]

Yea he was just laying there at the end. They will probably send him to the loony bin.

[shoegal_97]

Thats what I was thinking, that was really creepy, the way that was done, creeped me out a little bit, but when Nadia was undercover, they did a really good job with her, I could hardly tell it was her!

[Talula62]

Damn. McCollough. Sorry. McCollough. The words Angus Scrimm mean nothing to me though - I've never seen this dude outside of Alias. Am I missing something ridiculously important, cuz I just looked him up and nothin. Talula don't play horror movies yo.

[JimiThang1]

Yea I thought it was syd undercover at first.

[shoegal_97]

Yea I thought it was syd undercover at first.
me too!!

[JimiThang1]

Here's a quote from TV Guide that a reviewer said about Alias this season and the somewhat difference it is:

The focal point of Alias has always been the ridiculously complicated life of Sydney Bristow. But it seems to have morphed into "The Sloane Show." We still get to see Sydney put on lots of wigs and then go on various fast-paced missions, but the character arc is totally the old man's.

And I can totally see that now. It all makes sense, this whole season has been a Sloane setup. Which I think is wicked cool because Sloane is such a mysterious and bad-ass character.

[penn darvis]

Damn. McCollough. Sorry. McCollough. The words Angus Scrimm mean nothing to me though - I've never seen this dude outside of Alias. Am I missing something ridiculously important, cuz I just looked him up and nothin. Talula don't play horror movies yo.
No, nothing important. The name Angus Scrimm just makes him a lot scarier.

But really, how often does someone from the first season just show up like that. Amazing continuity.

[penn darvis]

Syd did absolutely nothing in the last episode. Did ABC not want to pay her for acting as well as directing?

However, if the show goes on w/ Jen pregnant, focusing on other characters isn't such a bad idea.

[Talula62]

No, nothing important. The name Angus Scrimm just makes him a lot scarier.

But really, how often does someone from the first season just show up like that. Amazing continuity.

Ohhh. You're right. That's a macked out name. Yeah - it was AWESOME continuity.

[Talula62]

However, if the show goes on w/ Jen pregnant, focusing on other characters isn't such a bad idea.

Good point. I wish she'd actually tell us she's pregnant already.

I say it's kickass how much Sloane we're getting lately. I mean, I think he got shafted for a large part of last season when it turned into the Lauren Reed show. :rolleyes

[JimiThang1]

For real, their reps need to confirm all this baby crap. I'm still not believing it because E! Online was the only one to supposedly confirm it and not any other news source came out with the news. Plus ET had on Monday a picture of Jen over the weekend jogging and she sure as hell didn't look 3 months pregnant. Looked as lean and fit as she has ever been.

[Talula62]

This has happened 2 other times - that some picture was published of her looking like she had a tummy bulge. :rolleyes I remember one - I think it was January-ish. But E never came out with it. And every other news story I've read (MSN and Yahoo) on it all says "EOnline reports...." :rolleyes

That twit Kristen said in her chat that she was the first one to find out but she kept her mouth shut out of respect for Jen and the show and that other people at E were told from other people. :rolleyes

[JimiThang1]

Ahhh so it all goes back to Kristen...Damn that bitch.

[penn darvis]

Shit, it all makes sense now.

I hate Kristen.

[penn darvis]

Conan O'Brien the other night:

"The latest rumor in Hollywood that actress Jennifer Garner is pregnant with Ben Affleck's baby. Which means Affleck has finally had a successful release."

[JimiThang1]

If you want major spoilage for the finale www.abcmedianet.com under alias has pictures of the finale.

[Talula62]

SpyFam makes me swoon. I've been waiting 2 years for this.

[penn darvis]

http://jen-garner.net/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=1195

[JimiThang1]

So basically he has no clue what the hell is going on.

[penn darvis]

Pretty much.

[Talula62]

Hmmm. She could be in deep cover for a more extended period of time - like 3 eps worth - playing a pregnant woman. That would work pretty well.

[JimiThang1]

Well really this is *if* she is pregnant (though if JJ is talking about then she probably is), she is due in November and if they start the series in January again which I really hope they do they will probably only have about 7-8 episodes in the can by then.

[zigbaldi]

They're gone...

guess again, "friend". Thanks for getting me banned idiot. Too bad i didn't do anything you freakin jerk.

"I sent it to the wrong person my bad zig. I was sending something to one of the mods about some guys in DMBc who is making threads about dave's cousin."

Nice load of Bull shite, why dont you at least get the balls to tell me that you wanted me banned.:24


anyways.... Im back. HAHAHAHAHAHA

[zigbaldi]

Next time you have a problem derek why dont you tell me. And it wasn't me who said anything offensive either so id appreciate you not spreading lies either

[JimiThang1]

Hey man I'm not going to argue with you about it. There are others here that feel the same why I do. We'll just leave it at that.

[zigbaldi]

well they can feel however they want to because it was jim making the comments that were offensive not me.

[Talula62]

Zig - you were banned the first time for a reason. And Jim has never helped you in terms of trying to rebuild your reputation anywhere on Ants. ;)

Now, I can't wait for Wednesday because we can finally have conversations without spoiler tags!!!!!!!! :)

[Talula62]

Or, well, at least about the stuff I want to talk about desperately!!!!

[JimiThang1]

I can't believe you spoiled yourself for the rest of the season...you didn't spoil yourself on possible cliffhangers did you?

[Talula62]

Oh hell no. I really only know three things. I think most of y'all know two. Maybe Steve knows all of them. I have no clue about the cliffhanger or really anything else that'll happen in these next 3 eps besides that stuff. :thumbsup

[JimiThang1]

Ah alright. I think I just know those three things too.

[Talula62]

I'm starting to wonder if Syd will say yes to Vaughn.....and I dunno how I feel about that because if she doesn't say yes, it seems like a really stupid thing to insert into the plot, ya know??

[JimiThang1]

Yea I think she'll say yes and then next season she'll be pregnant with his baby...or Rambaldi's baby dun dun dun

[Talula62]

I really hope Syd doesn't actually get pregnant. I dunno, I guess it freaks me out or something.

[JimiThang1]

I hope so too. If they come back in January again it will help somewhat of that not happening. Though if she is, I wouldn't mind episodes with Jack going on missions and stuff and having Jack backstories or what not. Plus the fact that if you know who returns next season for good.

[Talula62]

Yeah, I could maybe deal with it if......what you said. :)

[JimiThang1]

And the way that they are talking it looks like things might be pointing to that too...

[Talula62]

I believe nothing until it appears on my screen with this show. And the people involved!

No, that's not true. I believe everything that I like. :)

[JimiThang1]

Or you can believe what Kristen says... :lol

[Talula62]

Yeah, she messes it all up. She makes me want to believe things that I like, except then I just grow more and more cynical cuz I know half the shit she says never happens. Damn you Kristen!

[JimiThang1]

I just hope she isn't wrong about Arrested Development coming back...she's saying it's 99.9% it's coming back...if that bitch is wrong I'm sending her hate mail!

[Talula62]

I bet she's right about that one. They're total frickin idiots if they cancel it. Then again, if it meant HBO would pick it up, I'd be all for it because SCREW Fox. But, I think it'll be back.

[JimiThang1]

Yea I think it will too. I was reading comments by users over at Alias-media about her pregnancy and some were saying how they thought alias only had about 2 more seasons left in it before they end it. I wonder how much it really does have left in it?

[Talula62]

I've been thinking about that too, to be honest. I don't want to, but honestly, I don't know how she could ever see her kid with the schedule she has at Alias. Ever since this news broke I've been thinking Season 5 will be the last. And, to be honest again - two years I can see but anymore than that is probably pushing it. I don't forsee a Season 7.

[JimiThang1]

Not to compare this show to it but it will probably have a similar run that Buffy had, maybe one less season that it had which would be 6 seasons. I really hope they don't go as long as the X-files, they were just tired before that show went off.

[Talula62]

I thought Buffy had 9 seasons?

[JimiThang1]

Nope only 7 seasons. Which actually right now Jennifer Garner is contracted for alias thru the 7th season.

[penn darvis]

To be completely honest, at the beginning of the season I thought this was it. Not neccesarily that it would be the last season, but that it the show I had known in the first season was gone. Luckily, they pulled it together, but I still don't know how next season will be.

[JimiThang1]

If everything I keep reading is right...alot like season 2 ;) (minus the pregnancy crap if they write it into the show...though i'm still gungho on her carrying Rambaldi's baby)

[Talula62]

Ahhhh. I wonder why I thought there were 9.

So, I wonder if they can pull out and try to stop the show if she's contracted through a 7th season. I guess not.

[Talula62]

How could they justify her carrying Rambaldi's baby to term though? I mean, besides the fact that it is ABC and they aren't probably going to have an abortion in the show. :lol But, for real - why would she actually birth that kid?

Dangit - the board clock is definitely 3 minutes behind my computer.

[JimiThang1]

Well supposedly Vartan is only contracted through next season though I'm sure they wouldn't have a problem resigning him.

But I am sure they can cancel a show anytime based on ratings.

[JimiThang1]

How could they justify her carrying Rambaldi's baby to term though? I mean, besides the fact that it is ABC and they aren't probably going to have an abortion in the show. :lol But, for real - why would she actually birth that kid?
I think it would be cool if she carried the kid to term and then somehow a Covenant like organization gets ahold of the child and takes it from her.

[Talula62]

Yeah, they can cancel it anytime - but I don't think they would. At least not after Season 5 - which would be a theorized ending point assuming Jen doesn't want to raise a child while doing the show.

But if she carried it to term and someone stole it - isn't that a bit too predictable? Here's what could be cool. She thinks its Vaughns. And they get it DNA tested, and it "is" Vaughns.

BUT - someone actually impregnated her with Rambaldi's baby and she doesn't even KNOW.

[JimiThang1]

Ohhh that would be interesting if they did what they did on Lost all the time where the audience knows it's Rambaldi's but the characters do not...

[Talula62]

I was going to say that earlier tonight - how happy I am that there is something we know that the characters don't (Sophia = Elena). I love that!! Okay Derek, I think you may have changed my mind on the pregnancy thing. If they did it like that - I would be all about it.

I want to find a thread on an Alias board and post it because people from the show read the boards. :thumbsup

[JimiThang1]

Really? I wonder which cast members read the boards? Link me to one when you do...

[Talula62]

Well, I don't think it's cast members, really. I think it's production people. But, I did just read from a confirmed spoiler source re: the pregnancy: As of May 13th, they had decided NOT to incorporate the pregnancy into the show. But, there are apparently two or three more weeks before pre-production starts, so they have time to change their minds. I dunno if that came before that interview JJ gave or not but whatever JJ said he coulda just been saying it.

Also, it seems like JG's pregnancy is confirmed b/c of JJ. I say this not because it seems obvious, but because apparently people remember that JJ first addressed Jen's divorce from Scott Foley and he was the first to say anything about her and Vartan's breakup. Seems he is the front man, keeping her from having to talk to the press about it herself. :thumbsup

[JimiThang1]

Ahh very true...it just seems weird that their reps haven't confirmed shit yet.

[shoegal_97]

i kind of like the idea of her carrying the baby to term and then something happening to it, being stolen or possibly something happens where they "think" the baby is dead. Thats only if they incorporate it into the show, other than that I wouldn't like to see a baby on the show, babies ruin shows for the most part.

Preferrably I hope they don't incorporate it at all though

[snapmcd]

Yeah, they can cancel it anytime - but I don't think they would. At least not after Season 5 - which would be a theorized ending point assuming Jen doesn't want to raise a child while doing the show.

But if she carried it to term and someone stole it - isn't that a bit too predictable? Here's what could be cool. She thinks its Vaughns. And they get it DNA tested, and it "is" Vaughns.

BUT - someone actually impregnated her with Rambaldi's baby and she doesn't even KNOW.

That sounds way too X-Files. Remember Scully's pregnancy?

And I reluctantly agree with all the thoughts on the lifespan of the series. I'd much rather see it end fresh than worn down into the ground.

[JimiThang1]

http://zone.msn.com/en/outsmart/michaelv_default.htm

Interesting online game where you can play against Michael Vartan.

[Talula62]

That sounds way too X-Files. Remember Scully's pregnancy?

Nope, I have never watched one single solitary episode of the X Files. But I now no longer like my suggestion if X Files already did it.

See, the other baby scenario - her having it and it getting stolen with or without her thinking it "died" sounds WAAAAAYYYYYYY too soap opera. Literally - it's happened on Days, and in the past year it's happened on both All My Children and One Life to Live. And probably General Hospital at some point in time I dunno. And this show has already done the long lost relatives thing to such a ridiculous degree and the love triangle - if they pull another All My Children, I might be pissed.

[Talula62]

My sordid soap-watching past comes back to haunt me yet again. :BANG

[snapmcd]

My sordid soap-watching past comes back to haunt me yet again. :BANG

No shame in that! I used to watch soaps like crazy.

[Talula62]

But it's ruined me on perfectly good story lines. It seems.

[penn darvis]

Thank God I've never watched a soap. Except in Greece, when it and Xena were the only 2 English language programs on TV.

Did anyone here see the SNL with Jen in the soap opera? Frickin hilarious.

[shoegal_97]

wow i totally didnt think of the soap thing until you mentioned it, good call Talula

[B1M4D]

Wow, what an earth-shattering and completely unexpected reveal. :rolleyes And let me tell ya, I've never received an insult that induces as much fiery hot dangerous rage as that one right ther-wait, oh that's right, I. don't. give a shit.

[Talula62]

Hey Jimi, I saw you post elsewhere about NBC's schedule and pickups from upfronts - do you have a link to that?

[JimiThang1]

Yea here's the press release:
http://www.thefutoncritic.com/cgi/pr.cgi?id=20050516nbc01

[Talula62]

Sweet, thanks! So ABC's is tomorrow. Has anyone read anything about expected start dates for LOST and Alias? I expect them to keep it the same - LOST starting in September or so.

[greppson]

this is jim, bitches. back agian.[/spoiler]

not anymore you aren't.

[JimiThang1]

I read that they might move Lost to a later timeslot...possibly 9pm on Wed. because ABC was looking to put comedies again at 8pm.

[JimiThang1]

not anymore you aren't.
Thanks Jason appreciate it.

[Talula62]

:lol

So, they're thinking of moving Alias?? I think new comedies in LOST's old timeslot is a bad move now that the Martha Stewart Apprentice will be in that slot too. I'd think they wouldn't want to put brand new stuff up again any Apprentice - even if it's Martha, people still love that show. Actually, I'd think more people would watch it now that she's all controversial. :rolleyes

ETA: Hey y'all, I'm a little slow - what is a buckeye?? (See new category of flare.)

[JimiThang1]

I really don't forsee the Martha Stewart Apprentice doing well. It's going to just be a rehash of the original and people are already tired of it. I really hope they don't move Lost though.

[Talula62]

I'd think people are tired of it too - but then again I can't fathom why frickin American Idol is on the air still. Yeah, I hope they keep Wednesday night as is!

[snapmcd]

not anymore you aren't.

Thanks indeed.

[shoegal_97]

wow, i never even talked to the guy and got the worst insult! :lol
anyway, thanks jason!

[Talula62]

Yeah - I expected two of those but not anything about you Paula! :)

[JimiThang1]

Well at least we know that you are a raging alcoholic now Talula :rolleyes

[snapmcd]

Well at least we know that you are a raging alcoholic now Talula :rolleyes

Admitting you have a problem is the first step towards recovery. ;)

[Talula62]

Well at least we know that you are a raging alcoholic now Talula :rolleyes

Yeah. That boy can see right through me. :rolleyes

[penn darvis]

I'm jealous. I didn't get insulted.

[penn darvis]

ETA: Hey y'all, I'm a little slow - what is a buckeye?? (See new category of flare.)

I don't know, but I gave one to greppson just because.

[JimiThang1]

I'm jealous. I didn't get insulted.
Don't worry steve, there is always a next time ;)

[Talula62]

I'm jealous. I didn't get insulted.

:lol

Don't worry steve, there is always a next time

Yeah, maybe next time I'll move up from a raging alcoholic to a full-on crack whore.

[JimiThang1]

Yeah, maybe next time I'll move up from a raging alcoholic to a full-on crack whore.
We can only dream...

[shoegal_97]

:lol

[JimiThang1]

:lol
Shouldn't you be seeking psychological help right now or something. If I got that type of insult I would have gone off the deep end! ;)

[shoegal_97]

yeah i know, especially since I DO have a boyfriend and because I DO have a nice rack. so there. :D

[Talula62]

Remember in 6th grade when there was that boy who told the girl her boobies were too big, except he was just jealous because he was the only boy who hadn't touched any boobies? :lol

[penn darvis]

yeah i know, especially since I DO have a boyfriend and because I DO have a nice rack.

Prove it.

[Talula62]

:lol :lol +1 Let's see if it works.

Damnit.

[penn darvis]

Yeah, that was me.


*sniffle*

[Talula62]

Yeah, that was me.


*sniffle*

:lol :lol Oh geez - that shouldn't be funny but just the sniffle made me laugh!

[Talula62]

Whoa. I just read a couple of interesting things. It appears a confirmed spoiler source has been spoiling outside the designated spoiling areas!! One isn't a spoiler really.

So, this spoiler source hated Season 3 so much she basically disappeared. And there was this conversation going on about what was the biggest cliffhanger - the biggest shocker. She implies our upcoming cliffhanger is going to be bigger than Season 2!!!!

Also, this is related to the Vaughn and Syd thing.
She says the ABC promos are misleading. And that











they won't be getting married anytime soon, "trust me" Hmmmmm.

[shoegal_97]

Yeah, that was me.



*sniffle*
:lol

+1 for making me laugh my ass off

proof

[JimiThang1]

Ya'll are crazy

[JimiThang1]

Alias will be moving to Thursday's at 8pm next season beginning in the fall. We'll never beat Survivor now...

[Talula62]

I am so not happy about this. Survivor is crap. Now we're going to be up against The O.C. too, right?? What is wrong with these idiots??

[JimiThang1]

I am so not happy about this. Survivor is crap. Now we're going to be up against The O.C. too, right?? What is wrong with these idiots??
The only real competition is Survivor...the OC, Joey, Will and Grace all have worst ratings than what Alias had this season. Plus there is about a 6 week time period in January and February that Survivor isn't on. That said it is a shitty ass move on ABC's part. I bet if that Invasion show doesn't do well after Lost, Alias moves to 10pm on Wednesdays. Though I don't want it their either because that means up against Law and Order and CSI:NY.

[Talula62]

A show called Invasion does not sound good. :rolleyes To me, that is. Actually - I think now I see what they are doing. They moved Boston Legal to Tuesdays and Alias to Thursdays and honestly, NBC is shit for Thursday nights for the first time in decades (Joey is kinda lame, Will and Grace is just ludicruous now and it needs to end, and Noah left ER). I didn't realize The O.C. wasn't doing so great so, this looks like an agressive move on ABC's part. An attempt to get a chunk of ratings every night, not just Sundays and Wednesdays and Mondays with football. So, I think I'm all for it.

Hey, did The Catch get picked up? Cuz Bradley Cooper's show did!!!!!!!!!! :multi

It did!! What is it do you know? Do you know what its about? I'll so be watching that. I dont like alias on thursdays, because.....its one more day I'm going to have to wait!! Plus, its not really a good sign when shows get moved a lot is it?

[JimiThang1]

Plus, its not really a good sign when shows get moved a lot is it?
Maybe, maybe not. Depends on how well it does. Though I am predicting now it will be a solid number 2 and possibly even win in the 18-49 demo. Survivor suprisingly skews older these days.

[Talula62]

Yeah, only old people watch Survivor. :lol

Paula, Bradley's new show is called Kitchen Confidential. I think he plays a chef. Bradley Cooper + cooking me food = hotttttttt.

[shoegal_97]

yuuuuuuuuummmm :D:D:D

Oh, I meant to put a question mark at the end of that sentence. Like, "Oh, only old people watch Survivor?" Cuz I'd never heard it skewed older till then. You aren't old! I didn't mean it like that, I promise!

[snapmcd]

I didn't take it that way. Survivor is a pure guilty pleasure for me--it's such garbage, but I can't resist.

[JimiThang1]

That it is...I stopped watching it after Africa because the blood drinking disgusted me but then I started watching again for Pearl Islands because I liked the pirate theme. I've enjoyed each season since.

[Talula62]

I have pure guilty pleasures. I'm ashamed of them though. America's Next Top Model - really? Yeah, I don't know but I can't resist it. Road Rules/Read World challenges. :rolleyes :lol

ABC dropped Monday Night Football.

[penn darvis]

proof

:thumbsup

That's proof enough for me.

I can't give you a rep point though. Sorry. As soon as I can I will.

[Talula62]

ABC dropped Monday Night Football.

:confused http://www.abcmedianet.com/specials/upfront05/documents/schedule.pdf

[JimiThang1]

ABC dropped Monday Night Football.
ABC drops MNF 2006-2007. Next fall is the last MNF on ABC, it'll move to ESPN after that.

[Talula62]

Ahhh. You are so wise Derek.

[penn darvis]

ABC drops MNF 2006-2007. Next fall is the last MNF on ABC, it'll move to ESPN after that.
I see.

Thank you.

[penn darvis]

Just read a Q+A w/ Vartan in Newsweek. He claims he knows nothing about Jen's pregnancy. :confused

[JimiThang1]

I dunno anymore...they all crazy. JJ confirms it...Vartan denies it...Garner no comment...wtf.

[Talula62]

There have been a couple writers or producers or something say, "I dunno anything about that" too but - they're saying it to protect Jen's privacy so maybe other people will too. That's what I think. The woman's knocked up. :thumbsup

[shoegal_97]

:thumbsup

That's proof enough for me.

I can't give you a rep point though. Sorry. As soon as I can I will.


thank you. you'll be getting one soon too :D

so if monday night football is no longer on ABC, who gets it? Or is it just gone?

[JimiThang1]

Moving to ESPN in 2006-2007...and NBC is getting Sunday Night Football from ESPN in 2006-2007.

[snapmcd]

Moving to ESPN in 2006-2007...and NBC is getting Sunday Night Football from ESPN in 2006-2007.

That's going to take some getting used to. Maybe the ESPN anchors wear those smooth yellow jackets.

On another note, Alias tonight! The man has a work thing tonight, so I get pure, uninterrupted Alias all by myself!

[Talula62]

I hope my friend doesn't get back into town in the middle of Alias. I'll have to lock my doors and tell her to leave me alone!

Today shall be worthless, awaiting tonight's events!

[shoegal_97]

ooh alias tonight! YES!!

[snapmcd]

Nice arsenal, Nadia! And that's not some kind of euphemism!

[snapmcd]

I know there have been all kinds of spoilers, and now that it's airing...I hope everyone watched the opening credits closely! :thumbsup

[JimiThang1]

About time Dixon gets some ass

[snapmcd]

About time Dixon gets some ass

daaaammmmmnn right.

[JimiThang1]

I swear Dixon must have holes in him by now...he's been shot up so many times these past 4 years.

[JimiThang1]

That was so kick ass.

[Talula62]

That was like the best 3 hours of TV EVER. I love you JJ. Lena, marry me.

Oh, and Nadia? You're fucked, dear.

[Talula62]

JJ makes my emotions all roller coastery. I miss Sark like hell right now.

[JimiThang1]

Yea I don't think there is much hope for Nadia. She's done for. Too bad, cause Irina did really look like she cared.

[snapmcd]

I couldn't pay close enough attention through the second hour. Fortunately, I taped it.

[Talula62]

The Nadia talk comes only from the promo - not from anything in the 2nd hour. But I was blown away that Dixon got shot. And I expected a greater punch from the proposal, but whatever - I could care less if they get married. :lol

[snapmcd]

I think that it would quite dull if they got married. The thrill is always in the chase.

[JimiThang1]

Yea somethings going to occur to where they do not get married. She still didn't technically say yes yet. And at the end did anyone so think the Incredibles when they were jumping out of that airplane as a family? They are a family of super spies!

[Talula62]

Word. ^^^^ I mean on the "something will happen that they won't get married" thing. Because it's a fact.

Oh I almost forgot - they finally showed us Sloane and Nadia chasing down the Sphere!!!!! I was like THANK YOU - I'd been waiting for that shit forever and I was actually blown away that they actually showed us!

[snapmcd]

I've strayed too long. Time to officially rejoin the Alias lovers--sig style.

[JimiThang1]

Talula, I had a link to an Alias encyclopedia site. Do you have a link to that site by chance?

[Talula62]

Ooh, I wish - haven't heard of it I don't think.

[zigbaldi]

My Lady Is Back!!!!!!!

Ahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!

Talula, back off irina will marry me!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[zigbaldi]
