    Sadly, watching this show on streaming means you'll miss out on TONS of the original music used in the series, as they couldn't securing rights to use those songs in streaming. This is incredibly notable in the pilot.

      @@269productions Because Abrams always leaves a show to work on some other project without giving any clues about what ideas could be developped. He did the same thing when he left "Lost" after season 2 to work on "Fringe". And then he left "Fringe" to work on movie projects. lol When the creator of a show just leaves, what follows is never as good, just like you said.

      Nah. S2/S4 > S5 > S1 > S3. S1 has way too many corny music montages which JJA admitted to overdoing. S3 is by far the worst season of the series. Drab looking, angry, & hung up on the tortured love triangle. Even the creators were over their story choices. S4 was a great reset with a fresher, brighter set & less love politics.
      S4 had the series' highest ratings. In answering the biggest mysteries established in previous seasons, S5 had some of the best episodes of the show & the series finale is amazing. Alias did a MUCH better job than its sibling show, Lost, in that regard. So tired of people dogging on the last two seasons. "Simple-minded dilettante. You bought the rumor."

    I loved that show! Alias has some of the best fights ever! Not perfect, but always fun to watch. I watched it 'til the end, but thought they went overboard with some plot points (vampires, Rambaldi, etc.). Sloan relationship with his daughter was so sad! Damn, he was a great villain, though.

  • @Atom.Storm.
    @Atom.Storm. Год назад +11

    Alias would do amazing now. People wanted episode of the week back then so a serial was way ahead of its time. As for the Rambaldi thing, back in the day I thought it was building to something but by the time I got to the end of season 3 I couldn't even remember some of the thing I was supposed to remember from season 1. It was to convoluted. And then when I realised that JJ Abrams mystery box nonsense and Lost most likely meant that he was making it up as he went along.

    • @got2bjosh
      @got2bjosh 5 месяцев назад +1

      S5 did a great job answering questions established in previous seasons. Of course the writers were making it up as they went long like ALL shows, but unlike Lost, Alias did a much better job having the pieces dovetail to an emotionally compelling finish.

(i also downloaded them all a few years back.)
    and yes, the ending was great. despite the weird direction the show went toward the end, it tied up all the arcs nicely, closed the circle. i don't know if i want the show to come back, but i would love to see a movie though as a sequel to the series with the remaining original characters.

    @Rezzed33 Год назад +1

    One of THE BEST SERIES EVER MADE! Acting, Actors, Writing, Soundtrack, Direction, Production, Larger Arc, Etc. It ended a little too soon and in ways that were somewhat audience emotionally discordant due to lack of explanations. Irina's end wasn't totally implausible due to PTSD Etc. from Yelena but it needed to be engineered in a way that didn't damage her family relationships and reparative gains made. Best Home Video Releases are -- and please get a Region-Free + Zone Adjustable BD player -- the Region 2 UK Deluxe Limited Edition BIG Box Set with box-size matched Full-Size Solo Season Sets (not the Disc Killing crappy one nor early Region 1 Big Solo Season Boxes that sometimes have disc issues) and the PHAT Region 2 German Bookshelf Box Set. The Disney Stream 4K and Hong Kong Blu Ray, are visually stunning and HK was ripped from it, but due to the lack of streaming in original contracts, a lot of the pop music background gets changed and though the swapped in music is OK it's just not as good.

    I was obsessed with it during its original run. I was 10 years old. Had been bit by the espionage genre bug with Mission Impossible and Spy Kids, so this hit the sweet spot and also was mature enough to make me feel like a grown-up. My biggest problem though, in retrospect, was the retconning they would do, most notably between seasons 3 and 4. "Simplifying" the show with the removal of SD-6 didn't actually bother me, I thought it was a bold move especially considering Sloane was behind it and allowed for a huge narrative expansion. But the story of the Season 3 finale and how they completely ignored it in Season 4? Unforgiveable, honestly. All because the original finale script (one in which Sydney had to choose whether to save Jack or Vaughn's life) leaked. In today's binge-worthy show era where serialized stories shine, Alias would have performed a lot better, I feel.

      @@TheBenjil I know but those two cameos have massive amounts of information. JJ helped developed the series plus he was also working on the failed Superman script at the time. So it’s like he just directed. He was more involved in that. Don’t worry we have a lost episode planned with an expert helping

      1) Not cameos. Guest star roles. Very different. 2) Lol, not even the creators like S3. Y'all are basic. Way too much relationship drama. S4 was the most watched season of the entire series. S5 answers the Rambaldi mystery in E9-17. 3) His production company, Bad Robot, was still responsible for Lost even after JJA focused more on movies.

    I love how struggling, unknown actors get their big break on some show then end up whining about how much work it is, as the later, over-rated Cooper did here.

    My favorite TV pilot of all time belongs to Alias. I enjoyed a lot of the show but hated all of the Rambaldi stuff from the beginning. It was so poorly written. But the spy/action adventure/romance plots were so much fun as were all the Sydney Daddy issues (Garner and Garber were perfection together). Lots to love about Alias, I just wish JJ had stayed away from the Rambaldi prophecy crap!

    I liked this show, but the premise kinda left me asking questions. Ok, she tells her fiance that she's a spy and gets killed. The agency then tries to kill her but is rescued by her father. She goes back and the father (I guess) gets away with his deeds. Why did the agency place so much trust in these two when it looked very obvious that they were working together to cause shit to happen? I dunno, just seems very convenient, but it made for a good show.

    As entertaining as the show is. JJ Abrams has no idea how actual espionage works. Spies try to obtain political information, not Renaissance Artifacts that prophesizes “The Chosen One.”

    This is so weird, the Mrs and I are rewatching this now, this is my 3rd time, her 1st. We up to S2 E12. I can't wait to get to the last ep of the season. I loved this show when I was younger, but after years of watching stuff like Everything Wrong With, Sydney was the worst spy ever 😂. Everybody on this show is terrible at they job except Marshall. I still love it though and so far it still holds up for the most part to me except most of the music

    A good show that suffers some major problems, notably trying to plant seeds and subplots that go nowhere. Even the Rambaldi stuff is poorly explained by the end, showing a true lack of planning from the conception to completion

    • @got2bjosh
      @got2bjosh 5 месяцев назад +1

      Hard disagree. It is JJA best plotted show. So many seeds planted in the early seasons get addressed, brought back, & wrapped up by the writers in S5 E9-17.

    On Bradley Cooper’s episode of the podcast Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard, I recall him at least mentioning that he was getting a lot of hate online. People saying he couldn’t act and was ugly. And that it was getting to him and he was drinking way too much. So he eventually pulled the plug and begged to be written out.

    • @got2bjosh
      @got2bjosh 5 месяцев назад +1

      BC was at his most beautiful ever in S2. Now he's morphed into Robin Williams. Mini Cooper didn't like that his ole was too small. He wanted more screen time & didn't like the direction of his character, so he asked to be written out.

    1:45 to 2:21 Huh, so it just hit me, so Archer this whole time was kind of a gender swapped parody of alias, as that was literally one of the key plot twists In the 3rd or 4th season, like that honestly explains so much, and lana was just basically Gina Torres in a main role
    like gender swap and put it back in the 60's with some modern twists and technology thrown about and that is basically what it was.

    Season 1-2 are brilliant (it’s season 2 being brilliant especially with Irena). It looses its way in season 3 and for me 4 is way to much episode of the week. 5 is better but it never got back to the way it was.

    • @got2bjosh
      @got2bjosh 5 месяцев назад +1

      S2 & S4 are great at balancing episodic & serialized storylines making them the best of the series. S4 & S5 do a better job addressing the Rambaldi mysteries established across the first 3 seasons.
