KR,
Another place to learn about Alias is at TV Tome where they have a general summary, then also break down each episode for all three seasons, and describe some of the "background" information (like the number 47). Otherwise, watching the seasons are another way to get into it, but thinking about how they ended Season 3, it seemed so different from the other seasons that I don't know how difficult it'll be to jump into Season 4.

Now that I've totally talked in random circles, I'm glad to see another person checking out Alias!

Polarpi, I had forgotten about TVTOME!!! I am so glad you suggested it.

Yes, KR, you really need to learn the intricate details woven throughout Alias. That will definitely get you up to speed!

KR, like tippiechick said try to get the DVD's. All three seasons are available on DVD right now. I don't know if they are available for rent but I only paid like 45-46 dollars for a 6 DVD set. I would suggest if you are going to buy or rent one, go with season 3. I say that because whatever happened in seasons 1-2 will be touched upon and important but you know season 3 is what they will really be carrying off on.

If you were here in the Phoenix metro area I would totally let you borrow my DVD's.

I am SOOOOO excited for the premiere tonight!!! I feel like I've been waiting forever for this night to come!

Meanwhile, has anyone seen those cool passports being passed around? It has a picture of Syd in it. My friend got one at the mall on Sunday. ANyway, she told me to log onto www.authorizedpersonnelonly.net and type in the username amytippen (Syd's alias) and then use passwords like protection, passport and france . . .i just did it and it's really cool. Check it out.

Only a few short hours till our show is back!!!! woo hoo

I can't figure out which is my favorite line:

"Although I did go visit him...twice...just to see a familar face. We had eggs."

"Then clearly you're an idiot."

Freaking hysterically brilliant!

Oh no, here's MY favorite line(s):
Whispering: "Syd, Sloane is here."
Whispering back: "We know."

All I can say is WOW I'm completely stunned, and am SO hooked back into this show. Every commercial break, I just started grinning, since I was so enthralled with what was going to happen next

Season 4 is *definitely* stepping up to meet expectations (so far!)

I gave up watching President (!) Jimmy Smits for this dreck?

The opening montage sucked. It's the Jennifer Garner show! Starring Jennifer Garner! And her outfits! And her breasts!

Marshall: there aren't enough words to describe how much I love you. "Was the lipstick too red?" "We had eggs." BWA!

S/V:Zzzzzzzzz already.

Weiss and Nadia: now there's a ship I could sail on.

SpyDaddy killed SpyMommy: Nope, not buying it. I'm like the principal in Ferris Bueller's Day Off: produce a dead body, and I'll believe you.

How dare they give me Rick(!) Yune (!!) in an episode only to KILL HIM OFF later? Bastards!

Oh and Angela Bassett? The only way she'll be a good addition to this show is if she gets to whip off her jacket and show us what REAL deltoids look like. Although I'm fairly sure she could kill someone with her fake eyelashes. She's good, but underused so far. Her hair was all kinds of FIERCE though.

I missed the first hour of the episode . I totally forgot it was on last night, plau I had hockey so I didn't get home until 10pm anyway

I am so not liking this wednesday nights deal! I have hockey wednesdays and my mum has choir. Grrrrrrrrrrr...she was so pissed last night that they are showing Alias on wednesdays that she's considering geting PVR (That's the Canadian version of Tivo).

Does anyone know if they will be replaying the season premier?

ditto...I think that he is my fav.

I watched all 3 seasons over the holidays at home with my parents...great way to catch up...i am now totally hooked and love love love the show.

I was totally shocked at some of the things that happenned in the show last night....and the death of Irina makes me wonder when we will meet the 3rd Derevko sister. Gotta be sometime soon.

I am glad that they brought marshall over - i would have been sad. Now just waiting for Weiss to come...i hope he does, then the whole gang will be there.

I think they are off to a good start with season 4 - though i still don't totally get what was on those papers at the end of season 3. i thought that they started when Sydney was born...but in season 4 we are told that its about her mom and dad....or did i miss something?

Love this show, LOVE Marshall (I could have a whole Marshall show and be very happy)! My favorite Marshall line was the "Sloane's here" one, too. I'm glad they're moving back towards the season 1 stuff and away from last season's nonsense.

I believe that Greg Grunberg is getting his own show, so he may not be on Alias for much longer...sorry! (I wish he would stay put though, they need him to lighten things up over at APO.)
