... Sydney Bristow & The Final Season

You may already know this about me, but allow me to share that I am an unabashed Alias fanatic. Though I was immediately drawn in by the complexity of the plot and the speed at which it unfolds, I'll confess the kick butt fight scenes & crazy fun costumes sure do add to the thrill of the show. But- I still hold that the writing is the key to Alias' success... Yes, I will admit it's been a tad sci-fi at times but I'm willing to overlook that due to the overall depth and complexity of the past 4 1/2 seasons. Which brings me to my point...

I've just discovered that this will be the final season of my beloved Alias. In considering where the show has been and where it could possibly go- I'm okay with the decision. In both character and real life Sydney Bristow/Jennifer Garner have given birth to a baby girl. I'm quite pleased with their joint decisions to leave their jobs (CIA spy saving the world / Award winning actress in a hit TV show) to raise their child. I hope they fare well.

In the meantime, we don't quite have to say goodbye yet. There are still a few more episodes remaining. If you've gotten behind you can read a pretty detailed synopsis of each episode here. You can also stream the current seasons episodes here. If you have looots of time (or are laying on the couch sick with no responsibilities- haha) you can always go to the video store and settle in for a few days of mind blowing complete spy immersion.

Either way, now you know why I don't answer my phone on Wednesday nights ....
