I don't get it. Seriously. Was JJ Abrams just so consumed with Lost this year that Alias has turned to bunk? Well, tonights season premiere was alright "Alias-ness" wise... but these plot twists suck. Why the heck would you kill off one of the central characters? Why the heck can't Sydney Bristow just be happy for once?!?!? Now I realize that there is a lot behind these decisions: 1. Perhaps it was Michael Vartan's decision to leave - perhaps the rumors that he was no longer able to work with Jennifer Garner now that she's married to Affleck are true, but I am pretty dang sure he had another year on his contract. 2. And of course they had to play Jennifer's pregnancy into it somehow... but it all felt a little cheesy. I guess I'm just ticked off because I really like Vaughn in the show, and I realize that this rant indicates me as a total junkie but for the sake of the show - why put Sydney through all of this??? She'd already lost one fiance... then she goes missing and her boyfriend gets married... then when things start going right with Vaughn and they finally decide to get married, he up and dies... and dies right after she finds out that he has had some shady history and is a possible spy - all leaving these unanswered questions that just make my blood boil.
Alright... I officailly need a life.

You need a life? I'm the one who needs a life. Do you know how much time I spend watching TV each week? With CSF on Tuesdays, I even have a time conflict with recording the shows I want to watch. But...but...I LIKE MY SHOWS!
And wow...I never knew there were spam comments on blogger. Bleh.
Yeah I kep saying no because I refused to believe it was true when they put the sheet over and then the funeral. I am so mad!
I thought it was probably pretty wierd talking about baby names with a girl who was once yours and now has a new man. They better get another man down the line. It's just not fun without that romantic distraction. What about the sister in a coma, is she gone too! Grrrr
Maybe they will use Vaughn a bit as they go back and show his story and who he was. Oh this crazy shared adventure we call our shows...
Larka
You know what Lanae? I like my shows too... I can't help it. Perhaps I am entertaining myself to death... and yes, there is some horrible TV out there... but dang it - there is some great entertainment on that shiny tube sitting in our living room as well! Gilmore Girls! Lost!! Alias!!! I may be entertaining myself to death, but I sure am having fun in the process!
And I agree Larka - some kind of romantic interest needs to be there, but did they really have to get rid of the hot Michael Vartan???
