Alias season 4 speculation - Page 3

AOIIalum · #31 01-06-2005, 02:00 PM

Looks like the initial overnight ratings had Alias winning the 9pm hour and in 2nd to L&O in the 10pm hour. That's promising!

GG should be on most all season from what I'm hearing. I don't know that he'll be moving over to APO--I think that they'll have Weiss be part of Syd's "normal" life. Besides, it sounds like the Weiss/Nadia ship is sailing, folks, so when GG is off doing the other show he'll be back again. As long as we have Weiss, it's a good thing.

GreenKappa: the papers seem to pretty much be a dossier on Syd's existence. There was one page that documented that SpyDaddy murdered SpyMommy. Now, we know that SpyDaddy actually did this becase SpyMommy put a contract out of Syd's life. We also know that Uncle Arvin knew about all of this (from the scene where he asked SpyDaddy if Syd knew everything and SpyDaddy said no b/c Syd would be incapacitated--I think that's the word SpyDaddy used.)

Best Vaughn line: "It's because last year sucked!" Amen to that, sir!

My biggest questions after last night:

1. Why on earth did Lauren know about the papers in the SD box and did she know that there was a contract out on Syd's life?

OMG I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED last nights eppy.

I'm not sure about the whole Jack killing Irina because Irina but out a hit on her daughter. What is that about?!?

Seriously why the HECK would Irina put a contract on Sydney's life?

One minute she thinks her daughter is dead. The next she and Jack are trying to find Sydney and now she put a contract on her life?

Sadly I think it was a poor excuse to officially "write out" Irina because Lena Olin has said she doesn't want to do any guest stints. So it's like "lets kill her off".

Plus, why the heck did Sydney lie to Nadia. I get that she wants to protect her but she should have just told her the whole story. What she found out in Germany, what she found out from the assasin and what Jack told her. Then let Nadia make her own judgement call. Instead now Nadia is bent on revenge.

I have to say I was SHOCKED to see Sloane as a frickin team leader under a covert black operations of the CIA. Can we say SD-6 but under the CIA. Although it was cool to see Sloane back how he was in season 1. Plus, I loved Dixon and Syd as partners.

Did Dixon technically take a demotion? I mean he was head of the department last season and now it seems like he just a field agent again.

I absolutely loved the cover she gave Weiss and especially when he called her on it (SD-6). I truly hope he didn't "buy it".

They need to bring Weiss over. He's cool.

All about the Nadia and Weiss ship.

All in all I thought it was a AWESOME episode. Can't wait til next week.

Didn't he say he likes the Field work better though and is happier out of the suit. Thats what I thought that they gave this explanation for.

AOIIalum - Thanks for the clarification...

Totally agreed.....but she was shady....

Just thought of another question....will the Rimbaldi story line return and is the Convenant story out...or will that come back too?

I've heard they are completely done with those story lines.

Lauren may have known about the contract on Syd's life because she was in touch with Sark who was in touch with Derevko....???

Uh OH:

To learn the location of a stolen NSA code-breaker, an undercover Sydney must convince a murderous arms dealer to fall in love with her. Meanwhile, Vaughn fears that Weiss might have been killed on a mission, and Sydney and Jack argue about telling Nadia the horrible truth about her mother, Irina.

The Nadia Weiss boat may not depart.

*Bump*

Episode 2 is on tonight...

WOOOO!

DWAlphaGam · #39 01-13-2005, 05:07 PM

Anyone think that the events of last night's episode are totally going to come back and bite SpyDaddy in the ass? He should know by now not to screw with the Derevko women!

SpyDaddy is in big trouble! (But really, what else is new?)

So glad to see Weiss hanging with "the group"...maybe he'll become part of the team (and even if he is getting his own show, he could be a recurring member of the cast, right???)

Next week's episode looks to be a doozy!

Yep, and it'll be painful to watch it happen.

I have a feeling that Vaughn was kinda interested in the nurse - poor guy had to have her die in his arms (and that was realy creepy when her eyes "iced" over!)

Maybe it's my sappy side, but I kinda hope that Jack will sort of "adopt" Nadia as another daughter - he seemed a little less robotic in that final scene with her talking about Irina.

Sistermadly · #43 01-21-2005, 08:48 AM

Ya'll, this show has jumped the shark. The great thing about Alias (IMO) was the cliffhangers, the stories that carried on for weeks, the threads that were woven in one episode in a small way that cropped up 7 episodes later as a major revelation. All of that's gone now that the storylines wrap up within the hour - we might as well be watching CSI or Law & Order, or any other "regular" show.

I want my Alias back!

Schmeer · #44 01-21-2005, 02:27 PM

Really? I'm really really enjoying this season! The relationships are a focus again of the show which i really like and even though each ep can stand alone, JJ is a genius and will probably through some crazy twists in that will only come together at the end of the season.

Each ep is getting better and better this season, IMHO and I'm already psyched for next week. PS - I luvv Marshall!

AOIIalum · #45 01-22-2005, 12:01 AM

This week's ep was quite unsettling to me. I mean, Alias has done graphic violence and there's been some nasty baddies. But this was just a bit too over the top.

Good news is that the ratings were strong for another week, and were consistent with last week's ratings (this is a good thing!) If it means a few weeks of these stand-alone eps to get us back to the good old Alias, I'll take it.

I still *heart* Marshall. My heart broke again for Vaughn, but then again, I have a major crush on MV.

There's no way anyone should be trusting Uncle Arvin though. Or SpyDaddy. Anyone else notice that it was really Mia Maestro (sp?) in the photos as Irina? And that the baby picture was flipped (either accidentally in editing or on purpose, you can ponder that with me...)
