Alias Season Finale

Friday, May 27, 2005

Anyone catch the season finale of Alias?! Man, this is what the Lost finale should have been. Perhaps JJ Abrams was too busy coming up with such great writing for this episode, that he didn’t put in all his effort towards Lost.

I’ve been a fan of Alias since it started years ago. It was great...great characters, great storylines. But a few seasons later, it was the same old thing, repeated over and over. I had hopes for the show with this new season, because it was supposedly going back to its roots. JJ Abrams was taking control, and attempting to redefine it once again. However, I lost interest after the first few episodes, and saw some episodes here and there.

Because of this, I wasn’t too interested in catching the season finale. But, I gave in and watched the final episodes, and boy am I glad I did. The cliffhanger at the end of this show, two words: Holy crap!!!

Now, admittedly, the whole car crash thing is played out. As they were driving along, I thought it’d be pretty lame if they got hit and that’s how it ended. Yes, thats what ended up happening, but Vaughn’s admission that he isn’t really Vaughn made up for it. So, who the hell is Michael Vaughn really?! Has he been living a lie these last few years? Is he really Syd’s brother? Sloane’s son? Is he a Chinese double agent?!

Guess i’ll have to tune in when Alias returns next season. I hate keeping up with all these shows.
