Official Alias Thread

[snapmcd]

Truth Be Told is on TNT right now...sigh...

:thumbsup :D

[JimiThang1]

Vaughn never explained why he chose Syd the day she walked into the CIA...I wonder if there are clues from the pilot that we never really have noticed.

[Beefsteak1138]

I love the parking garage scene where Jack pulls up in his car and Syd says "Daddy?!?!?".

[Talula62]

Vaughn never explained why he chose Syd the day she walked into the CIA...I wonder if there are clues from the pilot that we never really have noticed.

I rewatched the 1st and 2nd seasons since then and I was trying to analyze Vaughn in the pilot and in the ep where we first find out Irina killed 12 agents and his father.......and I never did come up with anything.

But I thought Vaughn didn't choose her or know when she first walked in who she was. But the CIA supposedly sent her in to him because Bill told them to. Which implies CIA knew she was Irina's daughter already or something. Now I have to go look up a transcript. :rolleyes

Eh just admit it...they are just pulling shit out of their ass with this Vaughn is "dead" storyline.

[Bartender84]

They started pulling shit out of their asses when Syd had her eggs stolen. As long as it all comes together in the end

[Talula62]

Yes. Y'all are right. They are pulling everything out of their asses. Not as much as the second half of Season 3 but.........still.

[snapmcd]

All true. But it is such a joy watching the first season of this show again. Maybe they should have ended it when the CIA raided SD6. Wasn't that the Superbowl episode?

[snapmcd]

Vaughn never explained why he chose Syd the day she walked into the CIA...I wonder if there are clues from the pilot that we never really have noticed.

The only thing I noticed: Syd gives her statement to the CIA and she is in Vaughn's office. She is waiting for her statement to be verified, and Vaughn keeps insisting that he has an "instinct" about her.

[Beefsteak1138]

In guy terms, that means he wants to :hump

[Bartender84]

He took one look at her biscuits and said "I'm in"

literally and figuratively

[JimiThang1]

Hmmm...hopefully we find out why very soon. I'm glad they are bringing up things from the first season because they have yet answer alot of those questions. Maybe they are trying to bring the show around full circle since this will probably be the last season.

[Talula62]

:bounce Yay tonight!!

[JimiThang1]

Well this is kind of depressing about JJ's involvement with the series and the season/series finale:

Question: You said that there are no plans for J.J. Abrams to write or direct any Losts this season, but what about Alias? Please tell me he will write and direct the season/series finale?

Ausiello: Good question. Let's ask him. "Given the [M:I 3] schedule, my day-to-day involvement in Alias and Lost this season has been minimal," he told me via e-mail. "While I would truly love nothing more than to film the series finale, I think I'll be in the depths of M:I 3 postproduction, and therefore unavailable — which would be depressing." Indeed it would be.

Oh damn - I read that last night and meant to post it. And seriously? It is really, really depressing. He should be present. :( Stupid Tom Cruise.

[JimiThang1]

Stupid Tom Cruise.
Seriously...the guy just needs to be committed. He's powerful ways just can not be stopped (http://tcruiseko.ytmnd.com/).

[Talula62]

Oh my god. :lol Quite possibly the best ytmnd ever. :lol Tom I hate you!!

Oh Derek, I failed to commend you on your hilarious Mr. Belding post in that oral sex thread. :lol "Hey hey hey hey! What is going on in here?" That was fantastic. :thumbsup

[JimiThang1]

I mean it would be better if we allowed IMG attachments here but I guess links work too...

[snapmcd]

So Renee just said that it was 2006. This is the 5th season, and Sydney "lost" two years. Does that mean the series really begin in 1999, or have I had too much wine?

[JimiThang1]

No your calculation is correct...interesting. Good episode. Still don't know what the fuck the guy in the box is...was he actually the Dr. DiSinto like he said or a different guy? I was confused by that.

[Talula62]

They go pretty accurately by year the season is. So, Season 1 was 2000-2001, 2002-2003, the two years were 2003-2004 and 2004-2005. So, then Season 4 was 2005-2006 right? And now it's 2006 in Alias. Ouch brain hurts.

I thought the end meant Renee's dad was morphed into DiSinto. He became Disinto's double. And now I have to sit down because I'm dizzy from all the recycling.

But Sloane? Oh you are deliciously evil aren't you? I love it.

Getty is bringing the Hot. I wonder if he has any special training besides shoot, run, kill, protect, be hot.

[JimiThang1]

But Sloane? Oh you are deliciously evil aren't you? I love it.

Getty is bringing the Hot. I wonder if he has any special training besides shoot, run, kill, protect, be hot.
Sloane is what has kept me tuned into this show for the last two years...well that and biscuits. He is just ridiculous.

Hahaha to that last part...guess you have a Vaughn replacement. What are you going to do when Getty and Sark are on the screen together?

[Talula62]

Hahaha to that last part...guess you have a Vaughn replacement. What are you going to do when Getty and Sark are on the screen together?

Mmmm. That's private. :lol

I feel Jack is being sorely underused this season. :(

I loved that extra on the DVD where Ron Rifkin was making fun of Sloane when he was going at the simple minded diletante with that giant piece of Mueller device. :lol I can't remember what he said - something like "someone this insane shouldn't be kept on the show." :lol

[JimiThang1]

Mmmm. That's private. :lol

I'm sure most of it is in the Oral Sex thread... :lol

[Talula62]

I'm sure most of it is in the Oral Sex thread... :lol

I knew you were going to say something like that. But, that's just good old fashioned silliness. :)

[JimiThang1]

I feel Jack is being sorely underused this season. :(

Going back to this

Yea but it's always been when Jack is quiet...something's up...and I do have a feeling something is up.

[Talula62]

Good point Derek.

There are people spec'ing various places that tonight Jack dropped hints that MAYBE Grace was his son???? :ugh I mean, there is obviously something else about Grace that Jack and Sloane know that we don't know......and I thought Grace was acting weird when Jack came to the shooting range and told him to go with Syd to Renee's but I figured that was about Renee.

[ryguy178]

I still need to watch last weeks.

[Bartender84]

I kept hoping that it was Rambaldi's brain they put in Renee's dad. Oh well.

[Talula62]

Oh wait - they put Disanto's brain in Renee's dad? So, we have a brain transplant, not a 23-year-long cloning process? :ugh Not even the recappers I've read have any clue what is going on.

[Bartender84]

Oh wait - they put Disanto's brain in Renee's dad? So, we have a brain transplant, not a 23-year-long cloning process? :ugh Not even the recappers I've read have any clue what is going on.
Well, they mentioned that the brain pattern or something was different when they were looking at the pictures, so I just assumed they switched brains

And I want my own Charlotte

[Bartender84]

I'm reading the episode thread on TWOP, and alot of people seem to think that Thomas Grace could be the unidentified baby Irina was holding in that photo last season

[JimiThang1]

OMG Syd has a brother!!!

[Talula62]

Okay, if absolutely no one can figure out who the hell Disanto really is and how he got that way......are we not supposed to know yet? I feel like my mother - "who is that guy working for, what does that manuscript say?" :lol

TWoP is not helpful on that part either. I want my own Charlotte too. And yeah, I know, how wacky is it that they are all talking about Grace being Jack's son? I'm like - he was acting weird for a bit yeah but I didn't jump to that really.

[Talula62]

Okay, here's a brain transplant theory I came across:

Desantis thinks Rambaldi's immortality stuff can be achieved by brain transplant. Papa Rienne was chosen and they kept him in there for 23 years to develop ways to keep the body from rejecting the brain and it took a real long time. So, Papa Rienne's brain and Desantis' real body is in the trash or something. :ugh

ETA: So that goes along with them "now understanding the procedure" like Gordon said at the end. But it doesn't really say much about Renee - she seems valuable to them.

[snapmcd]

What are you going to do when Getty and Sark are on the screen together?

That, my friend, is none of your business. :rolleyes

[JimiThang1]

That, my friend, is none of your business. :rolleyes
Again...all I have to do is reference the oral sex thread...

[JimiThang1]

WOAH TIME SLOT NEWS

Beginning Jan. 6 Alias will go on a 8 WEEK! hiatus for JGar's maternity leave and Dancing with the Stars 2 will take it's place. Once DWTS is done after 8 weeks Alias will come back...so basically Jan and Feb. no new eps.

[Beefsteak1138]

Soundsl like a brain transplant to me. I remember something being mentioned about medication that prevents rejection of transplanted organs.

[snapmcd]

Woah Time Slot News

Or am I going to have to look it up myself?

[JimiThang1]

Look up...i posted too early by accident.

Ahh-I guess I caught you mid-edit.

That blows.

[JimiThang1]

So i'm guessing she'll probably give birth after the hiatus?

[Talula62]

Again...all I have to do is reference the oral sex thread...

Oh you. That was largely in generalities. Masturbation and fantasies and stuff are waaay more private.

Besides we talk about biscuits in here.

Oh and thanks Sean - medication for transplanted organs - that's a good catch. I didn't remember that. :thumbsup

Dang. 8 weeks. Ouch.

[JimiThang1]

Oh you. That was largely in generalities. Masturbation and fantasies and stuff are waaay more private.

TMI haha :lol

[Talula62]

TMI haha :lol

:lol Okay now you sound like my mom.

[Talula62]

Though, that comment wasn't meant to be taken literally either. You asked "what would you do if Sark and Getty were on the screen together" and Ginger and I were both being like, "that's private - ha ha." These men are actually not a part of any sexual life of mine so it's really not too much information. :)

Whatever so. I read on TWoP today that (Casting): The Bruce from Braveheart is supposed to be in an episode. And Mia is making an appearance soon too. From the way people were talking, it seemed like Mia and Vartan would be in the same ep but I don't think that's actually been said directly.

[JimiThang1]

[/spoiler]
I know i'm just busting your chops...because there ARE people out there where Vartan was apart of their "lives" and you can definately tell it was because of the drop in ratings after the first episode. So in the end it's just making fun of those freaks.

Seriously. People have literally stopped watching. And this morning I was like - damn you people - you watch the show so closely, you could tell me what is really up with Desantis but no, you stopped watching. :rolleyes A cult fanbase is a weird place.

[Bartender84]

That would make sense, just move your brain to another body when you get old. Don't think it's scientifically possible, but this show had a big red floating ball in the sky at one point :lol

Take it a step further: What if that brain is really Rambaldi's, and he's been switching bodies for 400 years now? I think that might just a little too farfetched though

[Talula62]

I just watched Anatomy of a Scene from disc 6 extras - how they did the train scene from the premiere was pretty cool. And there is another on doing the scene where Syd jumps off the building and hangs from the helicopter as Weiss flies it away.

[JimiThang1]

I just watched Anatomy of a Scene from disc 6 extras - how they did the train scene from the premiere was pretty cool. And there is another on doing the scene where Syd jumps off the building and hangs from the helicopter as Weiss flies it away.
That second one was cool too...even though on the DVD you could so tell that wasn't JGar running but on TV since it lasted less than 15 seconds you couldn't really tell. The effects and such on this show are top notch. Same for Lost too.

[Talula62]

Well, they showed them filming JGar running in the same outfit on a green screen set and I thought they took that and put it on top of the scene they filmed with Shawna (stunt double)? Though, they had to have kept Shawna jumping off the building - so were they switching back and forth I guess? As confusing as our plots. :lol

But then I did like it how they talked about cutting out Los Angeles underneath the helicopter and pasting Paris into the shot. :lol

And the Meet Mia made me totally miss Nadia!

[JimiThang1]

But then I did like it how they talked about cutting out Los Angeles underneath the helicopter and pasting Paris into the shot. :lol

Well I think it was JGar pasted on the set taken from the green screen of her running...then it was the stunt double jumping on the heli then they pasted JGar's face on the double when she looked up at the cam.

The matte paintings on this show are incredible...that extra on the season 3 set is really cool about how they do those.

[Talula62]

Oh okay - got it.

Oooooh I do not know of this season 3 extra. Maybe I never finished those extras either. Dang. So much to do.

[JimiThang1]

I think it's called Burbank to Barcelona?

Some pictures of Jennifer Garner I thought some of you might appreciate:)

[snapmcd]

I still think she looks the most beautiful when she's simply made up.

[Beefsteak1138]

No bliss for Garner in thriller

http://tv.yahoo.com/news/va/20051031/113079735700.html

Jennifer Garner is going on "Sabbatical."

The "Alias" heroine will star in and produce the Disney erotic thriller, follows a couple that hits the doldrums in their seventh year of marriage. To inject some life into their union, they decide to take a two-week sabbatical from each other during which, within a set of rules, they can do whatever they want. When the wife returns to the agreed-upon meeting place two weeks later, however, she discovers that her husband has disappeared.

Garner's Vandalia Films banner sold the project to Disney, along with production company LivePlanet ("Matchstick Men") and Chuck Weinstock, who came up with the idea. A writer will be named shortly.

Garner, who won a Golden Globe and a SAG Award for her performance on ABC's "Alias," will next be seen on the big screen in Sony's "Catch and Release." She is currently awaiting the delivery of her child with Ben Affleck.

Reuters/Hollywood Reporter

Is it just me or is there just something wrong with seeing the words "Disney" and "erotic thriller" next to each other?

[JimiThang1]

Is it just me or is there just something wrong with seeing the words "Disney" and "erotic thriller" next to each other?
Not really...i've seen worst when I worked there.

[snapmcd]

Is it just me or is there just something wrong with seeing the words "Disney" and "erotic thriller" next to each other?

My very first thought.

[Talula62]

Ooh this looks like a role we haven't seen her do in a movie really. Yay!

[JimiThang1]

Ooh this looks like a role we haven't seen her do in a movie really. Yay!
Not really a stretch for her...she's just gonna put on the sad helpless Syd face when she can't find her husband then start kicking ass when she finds out her husband is being held captive by a she bitch.

[Talula62]

No, it's not a stretch but it'll be nice to see her get away from the romantic dramedy stuff and I don't want her to be super hero anymore. :lol Maybe a brief ass-kicking scene but pure drama will be nice to see on the big screen and not just Alias.

Oh I hope there isn't a she-bitch who goes Fatal Attraction on him. I hate that shit.

[JimiThang1]

Oh I hope there isn't a she-bitch who goes Fatal Attraction on him. I hate that shit.
I was thinking more along the lines of Lauren but whatever Glenn Close can work too.

[Talula62]

Oh, yeah, Lauren would be okay.

[Talula62]

So....I just had to say, the first thing anyone says in APO Part I after introducing themselves is Jen, going "I'm in my panties." And then she giggles. :)

[Talula62]

Oh, this commentary is awesome. Ken Olin is a smartass. Jen is cracking me up and during this commentary, she finds out Brodien comes back instead of Kendall and she's like "because of that dumb show he's on, Lost?" :lol :lol :lol

[JimiThang1]

I need to listen to those...

[Talula62]

Titles and Writers for 5.8 and 5.9 per sd-1.net:

5.8: Bob - Monica Breen and Allison S-whatever her last name is
5.9: The Horizon - Applebaum and Nemec

Source says "Bob" is not a joke. :ugh

[JimiThang1]

:rolleyes Must be Phase 2...

[Talula62]

:lol That would be sweet.

I won't be able to watch the 11/17 episode until the next Saturday and that's supposedly when Vaughn and Syd in white on the beach occurs. :( Fortunately I won't really be around computers so I won't be tempted to spoil myself.

I am so loving the old Aliases on TNT.

Name that quote.

Time Will Tell!

You rule! :)

[Talula62]

I just watched the ep!! So, sorta not fair. :lol

[snapmcd]

I just watched the ep!! So, sorta not fair. :lol

It matters not! I just watched it too.

Kevin Weismann was also on the rerun of Felicity that was on this afternoon. He was a punk rock guy dancing in some club. It was awesome.

[JimiThang1]

I didn't know that Marshall was on Felicity too...

[Talula62]

I didn't know that Marshall was on Felicity too...

That was the only ep he was in. I think. I need to watch my Felicity DVDs someday.

[snapmcd]

That was the only ep he was in. I think. I need to watch my Felicity DVDs someday.

I'm sure we've had the Noel/Ben argument before. It's like the Vaughn/Will argument. Abrams does have that magic ability of casting these non-threatening good looking men.

Except for Sark, of course. :evil

[Talula62]

I'm sorry, since when are you a part time Red Raider? :P

Yes, I think we have had the Noel/Ben thing before. I was Ben all the way. But Scott Foley is hot.

[snapmcd]

I'm sorry, since when are you a part time Red Raider? :P

Yes, I think we have had the Noel/Ben thing before. I was Ben all the way. But Scott Foley is hot.

Ahh--my husband graduated from Tech, and as a Longhorn I always root against the Aggies. :)

[Talula62]

Ahhh. I see. :)

[Talula62]

Seriously. This is a spoiler. Not Vartan related: Two sources linked in the TWoP spoiler thread state that Nadia will be fully waking up from her coma.

[snapmcd]

Well, it doesn't merit it's own thread, and this seemed like the only place to put it.

I'm watching this awful (read: awesome) "Category 7:End of the World" TV movie on CBS right now. It's got everything. Randy Quaid, James Brolin, Gina Gershon, Robert Wagner, and the bad dude who played the bad dude in "The Day After Tomorrow".

And it's got Krycek from "The X-Files". He was the man before Sark was the man.

And at this very moment, I swear to god, there is a plague of frogs. Brilliant.

Time for more wine.

[Talula62]

Yes, yes. Pass the trough of grain alcohol and everything shall be fine. Just like when the zombies appeared! See, we learn things with Alias to apply to everyday life. :lol

[JimiThang1]

Mmmm Rambaldi Zombies...

[BeaufordBuddy]

I take it last week's episode wasn't new? I can't seem to find a torrent for it.

[JimiThang1]

I take it last week's episode wasn't new? I can't seem to find a torrent for it.
No Alias didn't air...it was preempted by Pirates of the Caribbean. Next new episode is this week.

[JimiThang1]

Hysterical reference to Alias on Arrested Development tonight, Buster was like:
Alias is a show about a spy!!!

Sorry you had to be watching... :lol

[JimiThang1]

Sark was on CSI: Miami tonight...playing a different guy than the lab tech he played on the regular CSI. I guess Miami and Las Vegas will never crossover since tonight was a NY/Miami crossover. Anyways, he was this rock musician that had a hand in this murder. He ended up being charged with felony murder. Won't that Sark ever learn to stay out of jail.

[snapmcd]

Won't that Sark ever learn to stay out of jail...

And in my pants.

Anyway. So TNT moved Alias up two hours from its original airtime--while I'm still in the middle of class. That blows. :BANG

I'll record them and watch when I get home, but it's not the same.

[JimiThang1]

So it's on at 4pm now? That blows...

[Beefsteak1138]

So it's on at 4pm now? That blows...
Really!?!??! Fug that. I guess that's what the DVD's are for though.

[drmgrl]

Hi guys... how's it going? I've been so busy lately with work that I haven't had time to keep up with these threads. I'm so pissed because I missed the episode 2 weeks ago... damn Tivo had a glitch or something. Last week nothing was recorded but I think it was a re-run... I hope it was. :rolleyes

[armyants1027]

im watching it right now... it does blow that it's on at 4 cause i've never really been able to get into alias and it swapped time spots with charmed. i'd rather have charmed on at 4. i just can't seem to get into alias... and i like all the other shows that tnt plays on their "primetime in the daytime".

[JimiThang1]

Last week was Pirates of the Caribbean...and the only thing you really missed the week before was that Sloane got reinstated to work at APO so that he could find a cure for Nadia but also as a part of his "agreement" with the people (who we found out was the same group of people that killed Vaughn)who got him out of prison was to be a "spy" at APO.

Thank you Derek. ;)

So is this week a re-run too?

[Talula62]

Well, we found out who is in the box too, in that episode.

Also, Sydney does yoga and Rachel wears Syd's pajamas. Oooh baby. :lol

[JimiThang1]

Thank you Derek. ;)

So is this week a re-run too?
No it's new...Rachel goes solo this week I believe...

[JimiThang1]

Well, we found out who is in the box too, in that episode.

Also, Sydney does yoga and Rachel wears Syd's pajamas. Oooh baby. :lol
Oh yea...but we still don't know who the fuck the guy is...

[Talula62]

Oh, is brain transplant dude not specific enough for you? :lol

[JimiThang1]

Oh, is brain transplant dude not specific enough for you? :lol
No damnit!! He better be fuckin Rambaldi!!

[snapmcd]

As I've said before, I am so loving watching the first season again on TNT. The sexiest man on Alias? It's not Sark, or Will, or Vaughn. It's Jack Bristow. Why bother with boys when you can have a man.

[JimiThang1]

Hey what do you know...a new alias tonight.

[Talula62]

Hooray. BiscuitsII go on a mission!!

[Talula62]

From TV Guide:
ARRESTED NO, PRISON YES: Variety is reporting that Fox has cut back its episode order for the Emmy-winning yet ratings-anemic Arrested Development, has advised Kitchen Confidential execs that the freshman series will not be picked up for a full season, and — here comes the salt — is pulling both shows from the schedule for at least the remainder of November sweeps. Fox will air Prison Break repeats in the 8 pm/ET Monday slot for the time being, unless, that is, Jason Bateman gives up Fibonacci.

[JimiThang1]

Well Arrested was cut because Bateman had throat surgery and couldn't talk.

[Talula62]

Ohhh. Vartan was supposed to be guesting on Monday. I guess not now?

The Box Part 1 is on.

[JimiThang1]

Ohhh. Vartan was supposed to be guesting on Monday. I guess not now?

The Box Part 1 is on.
Yup...oh well guess not till december now.

[Talula62]

Damn. That sucks. They'll still air what they've filmed though, right? For KC in December and then cancel and put something else in its place for spring? Fox has more monkeys working for them than ABC.

[JimiThang1]

Yea House will be on Monday's in spring...

[snapmcd]

Damn. That sucks. They'll still air what they've filmed though, right? For KC in December and then cancel and put something else in its place for spring? Fox has more monkeys working for them than ABC.

That's too bad. I had hopes for KC--I thought it had its moments. Blame it on the World Series.

Inadvertently opened a pretty nice bottle of wine tonight--almost time for new Alias! :)

[Talula62]

I'm trying not to drink so much lately but this episode might neccesitate the drinking of several glasses to numb the pain of experiencing replacement biscuits. Hmmm....decisions, decisions.

Don't speak ill of the wine store! :eek

I know. I'm sorry. I love you wine store! I give you all my extra dollars. I didn't mean it, don't leave me! :lol

Haha Dixon sounded like a retarded person in that accent...

[JimiThang1]

Rachel and Thomas are so gonna hook up

[Beefsteak1138]

I was thinking that Vaughn was Syd's handler and they hooked up. Now Syd is like Rachel's handler, so its inevitable that they're gonna :hump

The more chances of biscuits being shown the better :hump

[Talula62]

Okay, I'm way far behind but Marshall said "do you know what a spork is" :lol I'm dying.

[JimiThang1]

Yea I can't believe they brought that back :lol

[Talula62]

That was the meanest ending in the history of time. Why do they play these games with us. I cried.

I couldn't help but laugh because every single damn show on TV has a 5 minute musical montage now at the end of every single episode it's getting wayyyyy old...each time there is a montage I just crack up.

[Talula62]

That's true. :lol I'm over it as well! And tonight I was like - oh Sloane, that's sweet of you to go inside her room. Then I thought *snore* with Boob's family. But then as soon as I heard his voice, I swear, I was like - nooooo they aren't this mean!!! But they are!!! :( And I've never been a big MV fan. Ever. But I really miss him.

Between Alias, Lost, and Grey's Anatomy I'm such a crybaby.

There's only so much Sarah McLachlan songs to go around!

She get's me every time :lorraine :lorraine

I just turned away.

It ruined a decent episode.

Okay, I'm way far behind but Marshall said "do you know what a spork is" :lol I'm dying.

No one seemed to mention Nadia's hospital bed cameo from last night...

I did. "And tonight I was like - oh Sloane, that's sweet of you to go inside her room." :lol

What if Gordo gets her and wakes her up and makes her go evil zombie things? :eek

[JimiThang1]

I did. "And tonight I was like - oh Sloane, that's sweet of you to go inside her room." :lol

What if Gordo gets her and wakes her up and makes her go evil zombie things? :eek
I just hope Gordo is killed off next week...

[Talula62]

Does it look like he will be or something? I can't remember the promo - maybe I didn't watch it.

Looked like Rachel was beating the shit out of him...

[Talula62]

Oh yah! I saw that. At the races. "Make way, momma coming through!" :lol Yah, she aws beating the shit out of him. Hmmm...

Pregnancy joke #23423547 of the season :rolleyes

[Talula62]

Yeah no shit. Writers are stupid but everything that Jen does is hilarious to me.

[Bartender84]

I was thinking that Vaughn was Syd's handler and they hooked up. Now Syd is like Rachel's handler, so its inevitable that they're gonna :hump
I honestly am getting the feeling that Rachel is a lesbian. Peyton's comment about that guy "not being her type" before the building blew up, Jack's line "and now she has you", I've just seen many hints. I think it would be too predictable to have her and Grace hook up

[Talula62]

Yah, she's not gonna hook up with Grace. And I sorta think that if they did want to pretend like they could continue the show without Syd, it just doesn't seem like making her a lesbian would work much. But as long as they don't write her as falling for Syd, because I don't find that believeable at all, then cool.

[snapmcd]

Heads up ladies--Michael Vartan guest stars on Kitchen Confidential tonight.

Sorry if this has already been posted--I haven't backread because I haven't watched the ep yet.:o

[Talula62]

I thought they pulled all Kitchen Confidential and Arrested Development eps for November and put them off until.....maybe never to been seen again.

[snapmcd]

I thought they pulled all Kitchen Confidential and Arrested Development eps for November and put them off until.....maybe never to been seen again.

You may be right. The Vartan appearance is listed in EW, but not the local listings. Oh well. :shrug

[Talula62]

I hope they air it at some point!

[JimiThang1]

Yea pushed back to Dec. 5. Then after the 13 episode run KC is cancelled. As well as AD...DAMNIT MOTHER FUCKERS!@#!#%

[Beefsteak1138]

Hahaha....no Vartan man-biscuits for you :lol

[Talula62]

Vartan man-biscuits will come soon enough. ;)

In fact.....promo pics for Horizon (5.9) are up and.....uh....while there's no context behind them and with the episode description......that episode could be the meanest, most wrong thing TPTB have ever done to a fanbase.

[JimiThang1]

Tptb?

[Beefsteak1138]

Tptb?
The penis that bites?

[JimiThang1]

Oh the Powers That Be...I just figured that out. I'm smart...good thing you said that since we all know that JJ has basically abanoned his precious shows and turned to the Tom Cruise couch dancing dark side.

[Talula62]

So, who runs Alias anymore?

[JimiThang1]

So, who runs Alias anymore?
I believe that Ken Olin has been the showrunner on the show for the past two seasons, which is fine because all his episodes that he has directed which has been about 1/3 of all Alias episodes that have aired are always the best.

[Talula62]

Yes, I do like the Ken. I thought that might be the case because he's very present in the Season 4 DVDs.

[JimiThang1]

It's Thursday again...time for more biscuits...speaking of biscuits I had some free biscuits for breakfast this morning...mmm biscuits.

[Beefsteak1138]

Free biscuits are the best kind.

I've tried to take free biscuits before. I usually end up getting slapped.

Duh!! They're supposed to be offered to you first, you can't just go around grasping for free biscuits.

:lol

[JimiThang1]

Damn that was a good episode tonight...but the preview was the best

ALIAS AND LOST TOGETHER AGAIN ON WEDNESDAY!!!

AND SARK!!!!

[Bartender84]

SEATTLE! Finally :bounce

[JimiThang1]

:thumbsup SEATTLE! Finally :bounce
Too bad the biscuits didn't come to see you :(

But at least you got the new biscuits

[Talula62]

Sark!!! :bounce He's boinking Rachel. She's gonna cry when she finds out who he is and I will laugh.

I was so happy to see the Bruce!

[JimiThang1]

Sark!!! :bounce He's boinking Rachel. She's gonna cry when she finds out who he is and I will laugh.
Is that what the scene showed with them in bed together?

[Talula62]

Is that what the scene showed with them in bed together?

No. Well, I didn't see that. I just meant she's sitting there telling Syd that she met a guy and she's going on and on about him and then VoiceOver says "but what if this man is the worst man in Sydney's life?" or some shit and it cuts to Sark walking out of a building.

:hump :hump Oh Sark. Sooooo naughty.

[Talula62]

Well kids, we knew it was coming but now it's official.

[JimiThang1]

Thank god...time to put this puppy to rest...good memories though and i'll always have my DVDs...

[drmgrl]

Damn... that's sad... I don't want it to end. Even if some of the seasons don't pan out to be as good as some of the others, I still always look forward to this show.

[ryguy178]

I've only seen 2 episodes this season.

[Talula62]

Yeah, I'm with you Tiffany. Even if it's totally different now, I still look forward to watching and I seriously love the actors.

[JimiThang1]

I've only seen 2 episodes this season.
I hope you have the others saved on your computer??? cause it actually isn't that bad....

[ryguy178]

I do. No time to watch them though. I'm not home at night now so I can't watch any live TV. My weekends are spent watching an entire weeks worth of TV.

[snapmcd]

So I'm finally caught up on episodes now. Rachel sucks. Purple lace and fur? What kind of self-respecting ho wears purple lace and fur--that's so 1994.

Since I watched downloaded episodes, I haven't seen the previews featuring my man Sark. I need to go dig those up.

Derek, you're right, it's time for the show to exit gracefully. Maybe Syd will notice that every guy she hooks up with dies and that will be her way to assassinate Sark.

I'm with ya :lol Rachel has hideous taste.... she will never be Sydney Bristow. She looks awkward.

I would like to see Syd and Sark get it on... :hump

[Talula62]

Yeah, y'all are on spot with the purple lace and fur. I reeeeally seriously believe that wardrobe wouldn't have put Syd in that. It might have been a skanky outfit, but not THAT skanky.

[snapmcd]

It's just not incognito skanky.

I'd still hit it :hump

[Talula62]

:lol Yah, she's pretty hot.

Well naturally. I'd still do Sark up against the wall in a dirty alley. Oh wait...:rolleyes

We cannot let this thread die with the show.

I was watching the season 1 episode where Syd is the cabaret singer (when Will first learns her secret). That was biscuitastic!

Alias being cancelled makes me want to vomit my gizzards out.

So iv'e heard that Alias will be on Weds? is that just one week or will it be perminent? If the ratings are so bad then why dont they just move it back to Wed when it did really good?

Just for two weeks...Dec. 7 and Dec. 14. Then it goes on hiatus until March for Jen's maternity leave. It will be determined in March if it will stay on Wed. or Thurs.

[Talula62]

I don't think our ratings are any different than normal - am I wrong? We've never gotten big ratings.

[zigbaldi]

i know. i doubt its the ratings that is the hang up though, its probably Jen wanting to spend time with her kid. Did i ever mention i HATE ben affleck? Well i do. if that ass-wipe never got her knocked-up then we most likely wouldn't be talking about this right now! :violent

[JimiThang1]

I don't think our ratings are any different than normal - am I wrong? We've never gotten big ratings.
They are down from last season...roughly 3 million viewers. Last season following Lost we had about 10 mil on average...but it was very strong in the beginning and it went down to about what it is now at 7 million towards the end of last season.

[JimiThang1]

if that ass-wipe never got her knocked-up then we most likely wouldn't be talking about this right now! :violent
I doubt it...the show has run it's course...it really should have ended last season because it has come to a point to where it has become really redundant. There is only so much you can do with this show especially when it revolves around one person. It's not like Lost where you have so many stories and characters to draw upon. It's just time to put her down...:shrug

Wouldn't we all?

Wouldn't we all?

I'd even take sloppy Sark seconds.

Why do they keep saying Sark is the most evil man in Sydney's life. I thought Sloane was.

Maybe this means Sloane isn't a man :eek

Article with Jen talking about the end of the show. http://www.ew.com/ew/report/0,6115,1136354_3_0_,00.html

Also, reportedly, Jen gave birth today. :bounce Named her Violet.

[JimiThang1]

Woah biscuits gave birth...yay

[JimiThang1]

this is the quote i like from this article:
"If it's what I think it's going to be, it will be the most… Oh, gosh, I'm afraid to say anything. You know, one thing about not doing the show — I look forward to just being able to talk about what I'm doing and not always having to stop myself.... It won't be one of those finales where it ends, and you go, ''Oh, that was it? After all of this?'' We came in with a bang, we'll go out with a bang."

Gives me hope...

I'd even take sloppy Sark seconds.

As long as I get him first!

[malarks26]

I still can't believe ABC is canceling this show. The ratings can't be that bad to cancel it. If it's not doing well in the middle of the week then move it back to a Sunday or Monday night. It's a great show that needs to stay on the air!!

Can we start a petition and send it to ABC?

It's time for it to go...they have played out the show as much as they can. Only so much you can do with a show like this. But it will be a good ending i'm sure and ABC will have their 100 episodes so that it will run in syndication for years to come.

[snapmcd]

Jack looks high :lol

I was imagining a scene of Jack at a Christmas party where someone (Marshall comes to mind) puts a Santa hat on Jack. "I don't do Santa hats."

[Talula62]

:lol :thumbsup Ginger. :lol

Normally, I'd be able to point you towards the petition for keeping the show on the air... there have been petitions for lots of stuff on this show... but this time, there isn't one!

I think it might have been different, had we all not known it was coming.

[snapmcd]

I agree with Derek--the show has run its course.

[Beefsteak1138]

Jack looks high :lol
True.

It looks so natural on Hurley though.

Well yea cause he's the jolly fat guy of the island...and i'm damn good at photoshop...but that's beside the point.

I'll put one on Syd for you tomorrow when I get back home. My sister doesn't have photoshop on her computer.

Agh! I didn't know it was on!

Well, I'm safe cuz it's still 6:35 here. :lol

Don't forget that we're on tonight people! :bounce Sark! Sark! Sark!

Speaking of red balls the article in EW this week about Alias leaving talked about how Rambaldi will be solved once and for all by the time it's over. Thanks god...

Sorry--didn't mean to spoil anything. I can never remember how everyone feels about trailers. :o

[Talula62]

Oh no no no no. No worries!! I don't consider promos to be spoilers. And I already know the context in which he's appearing and one scene they shot a long time ago out in the public. But I don't know anything else that's gotten leaked.
