Nothing Is As It Seems...
As the credits rolled on the season finale of "Alias: Season Two", I know I was shocked by the cliffhanger, and frustrated that I was now going to have to wait 3 months to find out what the heck happened to Sydney to cause her to wake up in Hong Kong and have 2 years of her life missing. <
> <
>"Alias: Season Three" as the previous seasons have done, picks up right where season two left off. Sydney wakes up in Hong Kong, calls in to CIA and Agent Vaughn comes to meet her. As Sydney tries to kiss and embrace the man she knows to be her boyfriend, she notices something is not quite right, Vaughn is wearing a wedding band. As if that wasn't enough of a punch in the gut, here's the real kicker, Sydney's been missing and presumed dead for 2 years. Now, Sydney must find out where she's been for 2 years, who is responsible for her current dilemma, and how can she cope with Vaughn being married for over a year, when the last thing she remembers is beating up a clone of her former roommate, Francie. What a way to come back to work. <

>"Alias: Season Three" really shook things up for the show, even more so than the previous season did when the CIA finally took down SD-6 and Sydney and Vaughn finally hooked up. This season basically took what Sydney and the audience knew from the first 2 seasons of this incredible show and turned it upside down. "Alias: Season Three" delivered some very unique twists as Sydney struggles to discover what to make of her life now that everything is different, and a new terrorist threat emerges called The Covenant, and this group is not led by Arvin Sloane. If you loved the first 2 seasons of "Alias" and if you have any sense at all, then you did, then you will most definitely enjoy "Alias: Season Three". Don't miss it.

Who let the Soap Opera director in the studio?
After being riveted to Alias through Season's 1 and 2 I was dissapointed to find Season 3 loaded with day-time Soap Opera drama and cliche suspense. About five episodes were good and that's being generous. The rest did nothing to develop plot or character. <

>By Soap Opera, I'm referring to the endless and uninteresting fueds between Sydney, Vaugh, and Lauren (as well as the infidelity overtones - the foundation of every Soap Opera). Please! We learn Lauren is a bad egg halfway through the season; clearly the producers realization that it was a near career fatality to bring her into the show in the first place. So just end it there, why drag her (and us) through to the end of the season, smearing Vaugh and Sydney's discernment both professionally and personally along the way. <
> <
>As if this isn't enough, we are also subjected to the worst cliche suspense since the Scream series. How many time can Vaugh and Sydney walk into the room just minutes from Sark and Lauren? <
> <
>On the good side, however, it was wonderful to see Marshall's character continue to develop. Don't be surprised to see Kevin Weisman with his own TV show when this is all over. Furthermore, the episode where Sydney finds out that it was herself that was hiding the history of the past two years is very creative and masterfully delivered. <

>All in all, I'm hooked for Season 4, but don't rest on your laurels. It better be more like Seasons 1 and 2 or this show won't be on much longer.
