I hope it's a girl!!

[Bartender84]

Just finished Season 3! WTF was on that paper that had Syd so freaked out?

Ugh, now I gotta wait a couple of days for S4 to finish download. Can't... wait... any... longer! I thought it would take me the whole summer to catch up, didn't think I'd have it done in a month :lol

[JimiThang1]

Just finished Season 3! WTF was on that paper that had Syd so freaked out?

Nice! Eh just to prepare you it's not really a big deal. After what went on this season, that season finale of season 3 was the worst by far (well except Lauren getting capped like mad...that was good TV).

[Bartender84]

Yeah, from what I've heard from other people, the last few episodes of S4 really kicked ass. I just hope Irina comes back soon. S3 just wasn't the same without her.

[penn darvis]

I hope that baby gets Jen's acting talent.
If the kid gets Ben's acting "talent" he or she is screwed.

[Talula62]

I'll be really interested to hear what you think as you get into Season 4 Vince since you're going straight through and everything is fresh in your mind.

We get used to hard core action and getting lost in continuing storylines and some of the S4 eps were frustrating cuz they were slower paced.

[kbelle41]

I just read something in US Weekly that said the writers are going to actually write her pregnancy into the show next season instead of shooting around it. Anyone else hear this? Don't know if it's true but there ya go!

[Talula62]

Yeah, it's been rumored back and forth for weeks. One day they are planning to, the next day they aren't. I think the general consensus is that they are planning to. But, it's all rumors until it's filmed!

True true...I love all the specualtion about J. Garner trying to get Vartan off the show too. let's hope they keep him :D

[Talula62]

I haven't heard anything about that but I think it's complete and total bullshit. She isn't dumb enough to think that getting him off the show wouldn't be disasterous for the show.

Everything I've ever heard about him leaving is supposedly his own doing. But that's a lot of bullshit too. He gets rumored to be leaving the show at least once every season, if not constantly throughout, and he's never gone anywhere. :rolleyes He's going to be in Season 5, he's said it tons of times, and I personally think he enjoys watching people freak out when he says something that, on the surface, suggests that "Vaughn might be in trouble!!" He eats it up. :lol

[penn darvis]

Vartan's a narcissist.

[Talula62]

Vartan's a narcissist.

:lol Well, he's not that well known so he's got to enjoy the attention he does get!!

[snapmcd]

Well this is completely off the Alias topic, but it just occurred to me that I am seeing DMB this weekend in Bristow, VA. Bitchin'. :cool

[JimiThang1]

Woah scary...better look out for spies.

[Bartender84]

It turns out that Rambaldi predicted the setlist for your show back when he was alive!

Unfortunately, you need to find five other artifacts to be able to decipher it :lol

[penn darvis]

:lol Well, he's not that well known so he's got to enjoy the attention he does get!!
Well, he was in "One Hour Photo".

[JimiThang1]

Don't forget "Monster In-Law"!

[penn darvis]

Don't forget "Monster In-Law"!
But he didn't even get on the poster for that one.

[shoegal_97]

This pops up on the threads every once and awhile too. I used to be against the idea of him leaving the show but like some of you did say before, it would make for some serious storyline. I'd miss seeing those blue eyes every week but it would the sacrifice I'd have to make for Sydney to seriously start kicking some ass again. (besides, they could always bring back will....) :lol I know I know never gonna happen but a girl can dream :rolleyes

[Talula62]

I definitely hear you Paula and I also don't think it would be the end of the world. But I said it would be disasterous because no matter how many people out there feel like we do, there is a huge, huge part of the fanbase and I'd guess the majority, that is massively crazy about Vaughn and Syd-Vaughn.

It would be like Felecity cutting her hair. People would just plain stop watching.

But, they won't cuz he's can't be goin' anywhere!!

Yeah - he was totally shafted on Monster In Law. When JLo did interviews for publicity for it - she didn't even mention him. I think his biggest, most important role in a movie was Never Been Kissed. But that was still Drew Barrymore's movie.

[penn darvis]

TV guide said today he'll be back, so those rumors can be put to rest at least for now.

Vartan's never really had a big movie like Jen did with Elektra. Luckily, his movies haven't sucked as bad as Elektra did.

[lwaltz#41]

Vartan is all right but only because he's a Mets fan

[shoegal_97]

Agreed, Vartans best movie was Never Been Kissed, although he did do that one movie with Kerri Russel....Dead mans curve or dead mans drop? Oh yeah, I know about that movie...:D

[Talula62]

He's in a movie with Keri Russell??? Okay, gonna have to get that one.

Elektra I hear was crap. Daredevil was, well, less crap and 13 Going on 30 is actually a good movie. I mean, it's pure cheese so you gotta know that and be okay with it beforehand, but she got great reviews even from people who didn't like the movie overall. She's filming one now - I hope it's good!

[penn darvis]

13 going on 30 wasn't bad. Elektra was one of the worst things I've ever personally witnessed.

[Talula62]

13 going on 30 wasn't bad. Elektra was one of the worst things I've ever personally witnessed.

Yeah, I think she could stand to be out of the superhero arena for a while. :lol But, she could totally be a Bond girl.

[penn darvis]

Jen needs to do some serious dramatic work. No more action movies or romantic comedies.

[Talula62]

Jen needs to do some serious dramatic work. No more action movies or romantic comedies.

I *think* that's what Catch and Release is - maybe it's more suspense time drama. I remember reading about the film but I can't remember what I read. :rolleyes

[penn darvis]

IMDB has it listed as drama/romance/comedy.

[JimiThang1]

Yea I read somewhere that it was a romantic comedy type film.

[Talula62]

Yeah, I was way off. :lol

Variety describes "Catch and Release" as focusing on a woman (Jennifer Garner) who has to come to terms with her husband's death and deal with the discovery of secrets he was keeping from her before he died.

[penn darvis]

But Kevin Smith's in it. It can't be that dramatic.

[Bartender84]

About halfway through S4 now. Just finished the second episode with Sark and ANNA! I thought they had forgotten about her! And no way in hell is Irina dead. If they killed her off like that I will be pissed.

It sucks that I'm gonna have to go a few months without Alias now. Please tell me it's starting in the fall and not in January again.

[Talula62]

I think it's still scheduled for Fall but, they could probably change that if they wanted. If it meant no baby, I'd be all for waiting as long as necessary. :lol But, that's just me. Not like the wait would be easy - it would BLOW but, ya know.

[Bartender84]

Well, you're used to the waiting. I've just had 3 and a half seasons of Alias in only a month, and I'm not looking forward to being without it :lol

[Talula62]

True Vince. my 2nd favorite show is Sopranos and used to be Sex and the City, so I'm definitely used to waiting! :lol

[penn darvis]

That 6 week break in the middle of Lost was pretty awesome.

[Bartender84]

Just finished Season 4. Just one thing to say...

WHAT... THE... FUCK????

J.J. is a god. IRINA'S ALIVE! I knew it! So glad. When they cut to Santa Barbara, I figured we were gonna get a happy ending to a season for once, and then... "Well, for starters, my name isn't Michael Vaugh" BAM!! That scared the shit out of me. I will so be here in the fall for the new season.

A few theories, probably already mentioned:

Obviously, what played out was not the prophecy. Elena must have been trying to make the prophecy occur, which is why she infected Nadia, so they would "do great battle".

I'm thinking Vaughn is part of the Rambaldi Order or whatever it's called, and they sent him to protect The Chosen One. Of course, he ended up falling in love with her.

The driver of the car, I have no clue about. Obviously, it's someone who doesn't want Sydney to know who Vaughn really is.

[JimiThang1]

Obviously, what played out was not the prophecy. Elena must have been trying to make the prophecy occur, which is why she infected Nadia, so they would "do great battle".

Yea I've figured this all along...the prophecy is not yet complete.


I'm thinking Vaughn is part of the Rambaldi Order or whatever it's called, and they sent him to protect The Chosen One. Of course, he ended up falling in love with her.
Interesting thought...this is probably the case I feel.


The driver of the car, I have no clue about. Obviously, it's someone who doesn't want Sydney to know who Vaughn really is.
If you freeze frame it you can tell it's a man driving...so that leaves alot of people really.

But welcome to the club now that you are all caught up. You will have fun with us come fall. If you want you should add the Rambaldi symbol in your sig.

[Bartender84]

But welcome to the club now that you are all caught up. You will have fun with us come fall. If you want you should add the Rambaldi symbol in your sig.

Like this? :D

[Bartender84]

Oh, and Talula, I shit myself laughing at that line in your sig :lol

[Talula62]

I know Vince. I love that part. More than "I don't DO E-vites" and maybe even "I went to see Sark..........we had eggs" which is what my sig used to be! :lol

[penn darvis]

Like this? :D
Awesome.

[Bartender84]

I also loved "What's a spork?". Jack is awesome.

Another thing I forgot to mention is how I loved that they actually made me care about Sloane and believe that he wants to do the right thing. Throughout the first two seasons I thought of him as completely cruel and evil, and the fact that I now feel so different about him shows how great the writing is and how great of an actor Ron Rifkin is.

[Talula62]

Christ. I don't know what happened today, but all of a sudden it's a flood of information.

A.) FutonCritic says Alias will premiere Thursday, October 6th. One hour earlier than usual.

B.) From the latest issue of the Alias magazine.

Anyway........... Two interesting things.

1.) Casting stuff: spoilery. But not about anyone we know. So for a while people have been trying to figure out who these two people are that they are casting for the season 5 premiere. Raquel and Thomas. And supposedly, these two are going to be new season regulars. :ugh And, Syd will be a handler???? Wow. I'm not sure how I feel about this. From the mouth of Jesse Alexander.

2.) Wait - can I have two spoiler tags. Why does this board suck for spoiler tags and why can't I ever remember.

[shoegal_97]

totally confused by your post

[Talula62]

Secondly. This comes from the Alias 2005 Yearbook. I don't really know what that is. I was trying to figure out if this was confirmed, this yearbook could just be the Alias magazine - I'm not sure.

From the writers, in an interview in the 2005 Alias Yearbook:

Related to "endgames": "We should make one thing clear -- the Red Ball over Sovogda was Elena Derevko's endgame. It was not Rambaldi's. His deepest mysteries are yet to be revealed. As for the cliffhanger, this has everyone on the writing staff very excited. The fallout next year will have deep emotional impact for Sydney, and thrust her on a season long journey to uncover the darkest secrets of the man she loves."

ETA: Wait, this IS from the Alias Magazine and it's from Josh Appelbaum & Andre Nemac who wrote the finale. I'm pretty sure.

Got all this stuff from Alias boards. Also, there is a Fan's Choice Awards going on at AllAlias.com http://allalias.com/forums/index.php?showforum=288

[Talula62]

totally confused by your post

why? oh, disregard that "anyway"

[penn darvis]

Interesting news. I have no idea what to think.

[JimiThang1]

Interesting stuff...good job finding it. How can it premiere one hour earlier when it is going to be the first show of the night?

[penn darvis]

Yeah, that doesn't make sense. Its new time is at 8, right?

[Talula62]

Interesting stuff...good job finding it. How can it premiere one hour earlier when it is going to be the first show of the night?

Oh wait - we already knew that. Duh. I was explaining to someone the other day that it would be on an hour earlier than previous seasons. So I just ended up saying it again to y'all, who already knew!

Yeah, I think I rushed those posts a bit. :lol Went back to edit a couple times and didn't edit all that I should have! Ah well.

[shoegal_97]

good find, very interesting........:D

[penn darvis]

Yeah, I think I rushed those posts a bit. :lol Went back to edit a couple times and didn't edit all that I should have! Ah well.

No worries.

[Talula62]

http://www.comcast.net/entertainment/index.jsp?cat=ENTERTAINMENT&fn=/2005/06/30/168117.html

It's official front page news. She's pregnant. They're married. Victor was at the wedding. :) COngrats you two - don't fuck it up this time Ben.

[JimiThang1]

About time their reps confirm all this...good job!

[Talula62]

Whoa. In Paris Hilton's sidekick now, are we? You've been doing good work Derek!

[JimiThang1]

Haha my rep...I helped out the Pussy Posse...I'm their official graphic designer.

[JimiThang1]

Syd and Jack shouldn't be out in the open like that...if the Inquirer can get pics like that who knows what Sark could do since he's still on the loose...oh wait...damnit!

[JimiThang1]

So Ron Rifkin was on Regis and Kelly this morning and he said that Jen's pregnancy will be written in to the story...SPAWN OF RAMBALDI!

[Talula62]

I won't believe it until I get a script. Particularly since it's been spoiled that she'll become a handler. That storyline could very easily go either way.

ETA: And by "get a script" I mean "get spoiled about the script officially" since, sadly, I actually receive no Alias scripts. :lol

Please, JJ, no babies.

[JimiThang1]

I just want Spawn of Rambaldi...I think it would make a great storyline.

[Talula62]

I certainly prefer Spawn of Rambaldi to the alternative. Which partially explains my lack of care for her marrying someone other than Micheal Vartan. :lol

[JimiThang1]

But it's Daredevil and Electra...TOGETHER FOREVER!!! :lol

[Talula62]

:lol I prefer to think of it as Sydney Bristow and Matt Damon.

What? If Gwyneth can spoof herself on SNL confusing the two of them, I can. :lol

No, I don't. I have a whole romantic explanatory scenario in my imagination about those too that I choose, perhaps sadly, to cling to.

[JimiThang1]

No, I don't. I have a whole romantic explanatory scenario in my imagination about those too that I choose, perhaps sadly, to cling to.
Only if it involves Jen in the lingerie from Phase One and myself

[Talula62]

It actually does involve the lingerie. It does not, however, involve you. :lol

[JimiThang1]

It actually does involve the lingerie. It does not, however, involve you. :lol
DAMNIT!

[Talula62]

:) Okay, you're invited. I was just trying to be nice to Ben. But, fuck that. I'm sure you are way cooler than him.

[JimiThang1]

YAY...who needs his six packs a day smoking habit anyways!

[Talula62]

:lol Yeah, that's seriously gross.

But for real, how adorable are Jen and Victor in those pictures?? Just lovely!!

[JimiThang1]

They are...too bad Ron couldn't make it, he was sad on Regis and Kelly today, cause he has this play he is in.

[Talula62]

I know - I think it's really cute how high pitched Ron's real voice is. He always sounds higher pitched in real life than in any of his roles. But God, he fucking rocks.

[JimiThang1]

He had funny socks on today...Kelly wanted them.

[penn darvis]

YAY...who needs his six packs a day smoking habit anyways!
I wish Jen's baby the best of luck.

[Talula62]

From Spoilerfix and Alias Media.

Sydney Bristow will assume the roll of a handler to a few rookie agents next season. Here are the direct quotes from the magazine: Jennifer Garner: “I think it’s time for Sydney to grow up and be in a position of teaching someone younger. J.J. and I have talked about this a lot - because I don’t necessarily buy that she’s the wide-eyed innocent anymore at this point, so I’m interested to see her be almost the ‘handler’ for somebody new.” Jesse Alexander: “We’re going to be introducing some new characters that we are very excited about – some new young agents. Right now, we’re looking for a young woman and a young man around 23 years-old to kind of mix up it a little bit.” Source: Alias Yearbook (Thanks Alias Media for the tip.)

Interesting. So, Ian Sommerhalder is out of a job, yes? Hmmmm.

Oh, and to the wide-eyed innocence? It's about frickin time!!

[JimiThang1]

Jeez...this sounds like Rambaldi Hills 90210. Young agents??? They better further the Rambaldi story line once she delivers the spawn of Affleck. Syd standing around is just boring.

Yea Ian isn't coming back to Lost, for now at least.

[Talula62]

I know, I have SUCH mixed feelings. But, well, he ain't gonna listen to me so I might as well go with it! :lol

Oh, and :lol to Rambaldi Hills 90210.

[JimiThang1]

The wide eyed innocence I do agree with though. She's been through hell and back, she needs to be way more cynical and jaded now...plus with the events that happened in the season finale I certainly would be pissed too.

[Talula62]

Yep! :thumbsup They all need to be raging pissed. And Sloane needs to go batshit with having shot Nadia and all.

[Talula62]

Season 4 DVDs will be released October 25th. Which, unfortunately, is after the Season 5 premiere. Oh well. You can preorder at Amazon. It's 41.99 and has free, but slow, shipping. :thumbsup

[JimiThang1]

Nice...hopefully I will have the season 3 DVDs by then...still been meaning to get those.

[Talula62]

someone also told me today that syndication starts septemder 26th on TNT.

[JimiThang1]

Deserved but doubtful.

[JimiThang1]

Also congrats to Victor Garber for being nominated for best guest actor in a comedy series on Will and Grace.

[snapmcd]

Victor Garber should have won supporting for Alias every time he's been nominated for it. I mean, he's mack-tastic for goodness sake!

Ooh! Do tell!

[JimiThang1]

Read Talula's rumor a few posts up...it's in the spoiler tag.

[Talula62]

Congrats to Jen for her perennial Emmy nomination again today. Maybe this will finally be the year.

I hope so. Damn you, Glenn Close. And I know they like to hand this shit out to the same person multiple years in a row and I like Mariska, but man, just give it to Jen already you old bastards! Show's goin' away soon so just let us have our reward already.

I can't wait to see her belly on the red carpet. Pregnant, hot women are so much hotter.

[Beefsteak1138]

:lol That very well could be it! :lol

[JimiThang1]

I can't wait to see her belly on the red carpet. Pregnant, hot women are so much hotter.
This will probably be the first time Ben is with her on the red carpet. Plus he has to be there anyways...Project Greenlight is nominated.

[Talula62]

Really? Wow - I think it'll actually be nice to see them together. And by "nice," I mean like the twilight zone. Ben Affleck escorting his pregnant wife down the red carpet. :ugh So apocalyptic.

[JimiThang1]

Spawn of Rambaldi I tells ya...

[Talula62]

Okay, I realize The Star is not the most realiable source out there and this is NOT on spoilerfix, so........take it with a grain of salt.

From TWoP: Star magazine's latest issue says next season will pick up six months after the accident. Sydney is pregnant--but Vaughn is not the father.

Now, that could be referring to Vaughn, or Not-Vaughn or.......Rambaldi Derek!!!!!!!!

Also, Kristin says David Anders shot a scene for the finale and it might be included in the DVDs!!!!!

[Bartender84]

Exactly what I was thinking would happen ever since I found out Jennifer's pregnant. Whoever crashed into their car kidnapped her and implanted Rambaldi's DNA into her.

Which makes me even more confident that it was Sark inside the car. Or someone working for Sloane.

Edit: And with that new info, I'm about 95% certain Sark was the driver

[Talula62]

So, was it Sark's baby?? And, if so.....how did he impregnate her?? ETA:

Yeah, that above is me wishing Sydney would be a naughty bad girl for 5 minutes.

So, it's totally Rambaldi's!!!

[Talula62]

Well, unless The Star is totally lame and it really is Vaughn but Vaughn isn't actually Vaughn..............

[Bartender84]

Well, unless The Star is totally lame and it really is Vaughn but Vaughn isn't actually Vaughn..............
Actually, you could have a point. That spoiler could mean nothing, because Vaughn's name ISN'T Michael Vaugh, and thus the baby could still be Vaughn's and yet not Vaughn's... this is too confusing

[Talula62]

Stupid Star.

[ur-a-dush]

Damn skippy!
This is me after the season ender:
:freak :ugh: :confused: :mad: :BANG :twak :violent

nice dawg

Woah weird spoiler there...I don't buy it though.

[Talula62]

Yeah, I don't think I even pretend to buy it either. No one is even talking about it. Weird.

[snapmcd]

Woah weird spoiler there...I don't buy it though.

You lost me again. What spoiler?

[Talula62]

It's my post up like, the third post on this page.

Yup that's the one

This is why I try to avoid spoilers. They turn out wrong alot of the time.

:thumbsup Holy crap Season 2 is so good.

[penn darvis]

:thumbsup Holy crap Season 2 is so good.
Yes it is.

[Bartender84]

Yep, 2 is definitely the best. I'd rate them 2>4=1>3

I can't decide if 4 or 1 is better. The second half of Season 4 was incredible

[Talula62]

Interesting Vince. Hmmm. I think 2 is definitely the best. 3 is definitely the worst, besides Conscious and Remnants. And well, I'd have to watch 4 over again to be really accurate. I dunno if any Season 4 eps can beat A Broken Heart, Rendezvous (my favorite), Almost 30 Years, and honestly, Truth Be Told is like the world's greatest pilot. :)

[Bartender84]

I dunno if any Season 4 eps can beat A Broken Heart, Rendezvous (my favorite), Almost 30 Years, and honestly, Truth Be Told is like the world's greatest pilot. :)
I can see how viewing 4 over a span of 5 months would make it not as good. It really needs to be viewed as a whole. Great plot development, despite a few filler episodes

Yeah, they're always better when you can watch in succession. Even Season 3. :)

[Talula62]

So........anyone gone to Kristin's chat transcript?? Not that it means that much, but she basically said what The Sun said. The pregnancy is in the process of being written in. It's not Vaughns. And upon being asked twice "Cuz Vaughn in Rambaldi? Cuz Vaughn is Rambaldi?" she replied, "Hmmmm. Hmmmm."

I shouldn't be engaging in this. Spoilers are naughty. But, I think this could possibly be SWEET. But I shouldn't get excited.

why is this thread not in the "Chat Threads" forum?

[JimiThang1]

Probably the reason why the 24 thread isn't...if it isn't in there then we shouldn't be either. We are the 2nd largest TV discussion thread on this forum.

[Talula62]

Yay for us!! Yeah, I think TV threads will stay here. We are not a chat thread in the same sense as those others. In fact, we go periods of days without posting, sometimes.

Yep, I think I finally decided which show I like more.

Don't get me wrong, I still love 24. I've just always felt it was missing something, and after watching Alias, I realized that that something was an overall storyline. 24 just goes from season to season, rarely overlapping except for characters and minor plot points.

Yep, 47 is "The Number".

I watched the first four episodes of the first season of 24 and just couldn't get into it. I watched the first five minutes of the first episode of Alias and haven't missed one since.

**looks around for thread police**

[Beefsteak1138]

Bartender, :thumbsup on the avatar.

24 and Alias are definitely my favorite shows on TV. I'd almost say they're tied, but I think Alias has a slight edge.

And there are spoilers (from a WRITER that totally contradict everything Kristin's been saying as of late) halfway through this article - which also has Lost info. http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/05207/543554.stm

[JimiThang1]

dayemmmmmm she is hot!

[JimiThang1]

well kristin was at least right about the pregnant part...sucks greg grunberg will be leaving though...this article makes it seem like Nadia will be back as a recurring character.

[penn darvis]

Yes she is.

:thumbsup

[Talula62]

<pretend I quoted you Derek>

Yeah, I am totally confused. First it's

Greg will be around, Nadia only a little, Syd is a handler. Then Syd is pregnant. It's not Vaughn's. Then in last night's chat Kristin tells people NO MIA whatsoever. Now it is Vaughn's baby, there's no Greg, and there is a little bit of Mia. Whatever.

That chick had a threesome with Samantha and her boyfriend on Sex and the City and I think she's too skinny. Ew. Bones.

From Derek's link above:

"We also don't want to put her in situations where she's endangering herself and the baby," making it difficult for viewers to suspend disbelief, [ABC exec] said.

Ummmmmmm........yeah. Have you ever even WATCHED four seconds of the show, dude??? :lol Good lord, that's hilarious.

Ryan, watch the pilot and then come tell us what you think. For real. 99.9% of all people are hooked afterwards!!!

The thing that confuses me is that this is the same guy that made the genius move to put Alias behind Lost last season...but it's also the same guy to decide to move it to Thursdays...

Ryan, watch the pilot and then come tell us what you think. For real. 99.9% of all people are hooked afterwards!!!
Yes ryan you need to do this, download the first season and you will be hooked...and if you can watch all 4 seasons before the premiere of season 5 in september then you will be honored by all in this forum for such dedication.

Aw man, I just found out they did casting calls for extras in Boulder on Saturday for Catch and Release!! I could have been an extra in a Jen movie. :(

They're in town for a few days filming scenes of random townspeople and scenery cuz the story is set in Boulder. I didn't know that.

[JimiThang1]

Awww was she going to be there?

They are filming Will Ferrell's next movie here in and around Charlotte. It's going to be a comedy about NASCAR (of course Charlotte is the heartland of NASCAR). I think they have extra casting coming up here pretty soon...though I would have no time to take part. I think they may be filming up here in this little town outside of Charlotte I work in though. I work right on the main drag here and the little buildings and store fronts are so old timey and such it would be perfect for a movie.

[Talula62]

No, I'm pretty sure she's not here. It seems from the newspaper coverage that they are just doing random filler scenes. I saw the crew yesterday on my way home. They had shut down an overpass over Highway 36 and were all lined up with cameras. Of course everyone slowed down to 25 miles an hour to stare at them and figure out what was going on. :lol

[JimiThang1]

That sucks...she's probably done with that movie now anyways...Alias probably starts first of August.

[drmgrl]

http://www.usatoday.com/life/television/news/2005-07-25-fall-preview-roundup_x.htm

This is how this article starts out....

Jennifer Garner won't have to hide her pregnancy when Alias returns for its fifth (and probably final) season this fall.

What is this? I hope this is not the last season.

[Talula62]

:lol Yeah, they've been saying that ever since the pregnancy news broke. So, it probably will be. But, I'd think if ratings are good, Jen is up for it, the writers actually have a good idea of what to do once Syd has a baby....which is not likely at all, in my opinion....they'd probably order another season.

But, I think they all are probably at peace with this being the last.

[drmgrl]

I agree... Plus Jen is doing more and more movies. She probably won't mind for Alias to be over because then she won't have to worry about conflicting schedules and can do more movies. I still will be sad when the show is over... I've never gotten into a show before like I have Alias.

[Talula62]

Yeah, I'll bawl like a big baby. I'd think Jen would, yeah, like to do more movies but primarily she can't raise a child like I'd think she'd want to with her Alias schedule. They try to kill her basically. :lol

[drmgrl]

Her workout schedule alone is nuts... but her body is sick... I wish I could look like that.

[JimiThang1]

You seriously should...get her autograph and thank her for all her hard work on Alias...signed Ants Alias Thread...

[Minigun7]

tell her minigun wants to nail her

[Minigun7]

bartender you ignorant punk bitch. your sig is an utter lie. "jack bristow could beat jack bauer in a fight any day". first off, do you watch 24? if you did you would know that bauer is a "natural born killer", as cl samuels put it. seriously, bauer has more than 100 confirmed kills that we have seen on screen. if you count operation nightfall and other events that have been talked about but not shown on 24, you can double that number easily. while bauers weapon of choice is your typical handgun, he mixes it up. he has killed people with machineguns, shotguns, knives, his barehands, and lethal drugs. he kills people who are innocent (ryan chappelle), he kills women (nina myers), he kills unarmed people (nina), he kills mexicans (salazar and his beaner crew), he kills towelheads (too many to name), he kills peoples dogs (joseph wald's dog). but all of that wasnt enough for jack. at the end of season 4, he killed himself. thats right bitches, himself.

im not saying jack bristow isnt the absolute daddy of all the macks. id do him any day, dont get me wrong. he is the one of the sweetest guys ever. and hes killed his fair share of bitches too. but he could not take bauer in a one on one fight. he could outsmart bauer, sure. but he couldnt kill him in a fight. your sig should be changed to "jack bristow could outsmart jack bauer anyday".

[drmgrl]

Jack Bristow is badass

[Talula62]

I wish I could kill Mexicans. :rolleyes

Oh HO! And what a post to start the 100th page.

[Minigun7]

100 pages oh ya feel it grind it shave it lick it plunge it smack it ya

[Bartender84]

Yes, I firmly believe Jack Bristow is better than Bauer.

Have you seen the way Bristow kills people? No emotion. He's older, more experienced, less emotional, he probably does have more kills, we just haven't seen them.

Bauer has been kidnapped, he's been tortured, he's even been killed. Bristow has never gotten himself into a situation he couldn't get out of by himself.

By "fight", I don't necessarily mean hand-to-hand. I mean any kind of fight. Even hand-to-hand, I believe Bristow would find some way to outsmart Bauer.

Oh, and yes, I do watch 24. I watch it religiously. It is my second favorite show behind Alias. And your personal insults at me are not working.

[ryguy178]

Whelp, i'm going to watch the first 2 episodes tonight. I'll be sure to let you all know how they fared.

[JimiThang1]

Excellent do let us know...

[snapmcd]

Ooh--a little Jack v. Jack hostility. How fun.

I honestly feel a little cheap resurrecting another Jack-nuts-tastic phrase, but I will if I have to. :rolleyes

that is true. Bristow is older and has been on alot of missions we dont know about. him and sloane, weren't they in some army faction? he should have way more than 100 for the 20-30 years he's been killing. He is less emotional, i liked how he killed Sasha Korjev, that was evil.:evil He never cries and nothing shakes him.

[zigbaldi]

[QUOTE=Bartender84

Bauer has been kidnapped, he's been tortured, he's even been killed. Bristow has never gotten himself into a situation he couldn't get out of by himself. [/QUOTE]


not entirely true. in the Server 47 episode Geiger had him strapped down and he would have died if Sydney didn't come and shoot Geiger. i think that was the only time he couldn't do anything.

[Talula62]

Has Jack Bauer ever brought someone back to life after the Federal Government executed him??

Or, did Jack Bauer kill the woman who he thought was his own wife?? I don't think so.

[ryguy178]

Great show.

I'm kind of confused about what happened at the end of the first episode though.

And I think i'm going to have to stop reading this thread so I don't pick up spoilers.

[ryguy178]

Oh, I get it.

[JimiThang1]

Oh, I get it.
What did you not get? Glad you enjoyed the pilot...

[Minigun7]

god you guys blow

[Talula62]

Anyway..................

So I found where they're filming today. I went back there and tried to park and walk up but there were cops at several of the blocked off entrances. They blocked off a couple of square blocks and all the alleyways. I saw some people walking around up there. It's residential so they can't really keep anyone out but I had to be at work.

So, if I can get back up there, I might be able to catch a glimpse of her! :rolleyes

im sorry, i came in on the tail end of this episode of your life. jg is filming something near you? is it alias or a movie or what? if syd was in my town, id go on a crazy killing spree and then steal her away. then id "make sweet love to her down by the fire".

[Talula62]

if syd was in my town, id go on a crazy killing spree and then steal her away. then id "make sweet love to her down by the fire".

Odd. I think this type of behavior might be why I couldn't get on set today. :lol I took the dog and tried to cross the street that continues south into the entrance to a big park with trails up the mountain. Anyway, I didn't see the cop anywhere around when I drove by, so I just crossed the street and kept on going. It wasn't even the street they were filming on. But he was behind a truck so we walk by and he's all, this area is restricted. And I'm all, "Oh, my friend lives at Aurora and he's coming this way to go to Chautaqua" and he's like, "Yeah, well he'll have to go up to 7th or 9th to get through so you can meet him up there."

It's for Catch and Release. The story is set in Boulder. They cast Vancouver to play Boulder for about 90% of the film though.

It was only a page or so back, Jim. Who blows now?

[Talula62]

Alright, well I didn't want to bring up Kristin's latest column, if none of you have seen it yet. If you REALLY don't want to know ANYTHING AT ALL about Season 5, DO NOT READ IT.

These aren't spoilers - it's just me talking about things totally generally, in case you want to keep away. This gives nothing away I promise, but it might make you want to read shit you don't want to read elsewhere.

Although, I gotta tell ya - the way this sounds..........you won't be able to keep away from it.

And I bring it up only because the shit has hit the fan. People are freaking out. And a friend of mine talks fairly regularly to two people - one a known source and one who has been around forever but got ahold of accurate spoilers for the finale, somehow.

They both say Kristin is right.

So..........................................this better be fucking good.

[JimiThang1]

Eh i'm sure it isn't going to be tooooo bad...though it sucks JJ isn't really going to be involved at least at the beginning of the season.

Where's ryan? I wonder if he watched more episodes...

[JimiThang1]

I'm watching 2 and then 3 as we speak...
nice...

[Talula62]

Yeah, I think I'm actually excited. This could seriously kickass.

[JimiThang1]

Wait so....
Kristin says in her current update that a BIG name is leaving Alias early in the season...I already know that Weiss is leaving... who else is leaving now?

[Talula62]

Derek -

Well, she is a crazy insane Vartan lover. She used to call him her Future Husband and abbreviate it FH. She talked about us being "broadsided" by this news. She's making a HUGE deal out of it. And she referred to "a future husband" leaving a show.

And I at first said, this is Kristin, she's a stupid twit, she's probably misleading everyone and it really is just Weiss. But, now these two other people have told my good friend it's true. One's a source, one just has a source.

And none of the real, out-there sources have said anything about it. Two claim it's because they're done with the spoiler game. The other one is not and he has been visibly surfing the Alias boards, in the spoiler threads, watching people talk about this and has said nothing. And he usually always does.

So.................I mean, I know it isn't official or anything but it's looking like we are looking at someone either not surviving a car crash or something.

[JimiThang1]

Hmmm...
Single mom syd would be cool (though i'm still holding on to spawn of Rambaldi damnit)...but I think ultimately we need to know what the hell he was talking about in the car last season...maybe one of the storylines next season will be to find out who exactly he is because he's in a)a coma b)dead c)disappeared. It would also be cool if he disappeared but ultimately returned once Syd finds out what he did/is,

[Talula62]

I agree Derek. Him just telling her straight up what he was talking about in the car is boooooorrrriiiinnnggg. I hope he isn't dead either but....I wouldn't put it past them to be totally setting us up to be surprised for a Vaughn return for the series finale or something.

[JimiThang1]

Yup
They definately already set it up for the tension between Vaughn and Syd at the end of last season...now the ultimate would be for them to be seperated for most of the year but to be reunited once all truth be told (heck yea episode names in convo) and live happily ever after as super spies

[Talula62]

Well that's the big question then.

Is this permanent? I mean, nothing really ever is, right? I just wish I knew if it was so I don't get my hopes up. I don't even care about S/V that much. But this has me all bamboozled or something. I need to watch some Jack from LOST to bring myself back to equilibrium!

[JimiThang1]

Yea i've been rewatching Lost in preperation for next season...though I will still buy the DVD in a few weeks.

[ryguy178]

Ok so the second episode was just as enjoyable as the first. (I guess i'm going to have to get used to a skinny 100 lb girl kicking the ass of giant bodyguards every single time..meh..) but I do have to say, that at the end of this episode, Syd holds the core of a nuclear bomb in her hand. If this was a real nuclear bomb, she would be dead in a matter of days. (Meh?)

Just wait till season 4 and the nuclear story arc that occurs...you'll be like double meh...you really need to suspend your belief with this show...though I do have to say there are some believeble things with the show there are others that are just way out in left field.
