Ten years ago tonight, Alias said it's final goodbyes. And it's days like to day that I wish I had watched Alias while it was on the air. If I had been a fan at that time, I most likely would be bawling my eyes out and wishing for more. But as a current fan, who is still in love with the show 3 years after my first viewing, am ready to celebrate the ten year anniversary of that final moment. Watching Sydney, Vaughn, Isabelle, Jack, and Dixon walk down to beach to watch the sun set, was the perfect ending. Sydney and Vaughn have finally found their happily ever after. I am so happy for them, with all the obstacles life threw their direction, that they were able to find some semblance of a normal life. Or as close to normal as was possible for them.
I will go over more in detail when I get to this episode, (yes I am still working on it) but in this episode Sydney had to watch, and ultimately leave, as Jack Bristow was bleeding out. As hard as it is to watch SpyDaddy injured to this extent, at least he went out in style, and making sure that Sloane would never be able to harm his family any longer. Back to my original train of thought, after having to leave her father behind, knowing that she most likely would never have a chance to see him again, Sydney has to go save the world, and the only way to succeed would be through her mother. I couldn't even imagine having to go through everything she had to in just this one episode. However, the cherry that tops this episode so perfectly is that we were able to take a view into some of the vital moments in Sydney's life, that led her to this place.
There are some truly great moments from this episode, and I can't wait until I get back in gear and work on this blog a little more faithfully.
When's your next post for season 4? All of the posts are awesome so keep the coming! :)
ReplyDeleteI am currently working on 4x01, I had four pages all typed out and ready to go, but I had been on a computer that decided it didn't like me and it ate the entire document even though I had saved it multiple times through am the day. So I am back at square one with 4x01. But I have been working on it. I am hoping that I will have an episode up by the end of this week.
DeleteThank you so much for your encouraging words. They mean more than you could ever know. But I am so happy that you enjoy my ranting and raving about two fictional characters that are so close to my heart
I found your blog by accident and 1 episode in I'm hooked. I love it. Can't wait to read it from the beginning.
ReplyDeleteHearing that makes me so happy. Thank you! Let me know if you have any questions. I'm happy to chat Alias anytime. :)
DeleteI just found your blog. I am a huge Alias fan and I love the thoughts. I think I am going to have to do a re-watch over the holidays. I'm glad you are doing better. Your super sleuth skills on MVs address reminded me of friend who does the same but for a different actor. It brought a smile to my face. Happy Holidays!
ReplyDeleteim watching S4 now (least fav season—thanks for the tip on the alternate order—
ReplyDeleteAnd i wish they had not done the season 2 cliffhanger where Syd wakes up 2 years later and Vaughn is married!—it was a SENsational cliffhanger—it was so challenging to wait for S3, but it put the writers in a pickle and changed the trajectory of the show dramatically! I wish they had just ended it at the end of syd’s apartment shooting and left out the other part. Then the writers could have really worked on S3!
