I'm a little late to the party catching this. Just wanted to say that Alias is a god-tier pick for reactions because it has so many twists and turns. Almost every episode end and ad break is some sort of cliffhanger! You know how most of the action scenes on Buffy are only average at best, but it really doesn't matter because the characters and themes are so masterfully done? Alias is quite a different experience because it is quite heavily plot (rather than character) driven and, while the story may get complex and non-linear, its themes are fairly straightforward. Nonetheless, Alias' action scenes are always big screen worthy, some of the shows biggest fight scenes remain the best I've seen on television to this day. And, even though you scoffed a bit at the music in the parking garage scene (haha!), it's soundtrack by A-lister Michael Giacchino is also one of the best parts of the show. Something funny from the DVD commentary that stuck with me for years is that they originally planned to set up wires and pulleys for the shot where Sydney flips in her chair onto the torturer. But, in the end, Jennifer Garner's stunt double was literally able to do it holding onto the chair and doing a front flip. XD

Well this is exciting! I was only recently thinking it was time for another Alias rewatch. I haven’t rewatched it for years. Really loved this series. Great cast, exciting and after Buffy I was glad of another show with a lead female character. I hope you keep on with this one.

You’ll be blown away by the cast Liam. Not just the main but the guest stars. One of the best casting I’ve ever seen on tv 👏

Jamie

YES!!!!!!!!! Finally someone watching Alias. One of my favourite shows. I hope you continue 😃

Whether you watch for yourself, only throw it up for Patreons, or do a reaction on YouTube, this is a show I think you will love based on the other shows you like. PS As you might have noticed from just this one episode, Jennifer Garner may be the most versatile actor ever.

Yes, I have been mentioning on youtube in your comments/love streams about Alias as well. One of my fave shows. Great reaction! One of my fave pilots as well.

Did you notice that Dixon, Sydney's partner on her mission, recently played Isaiah Bradley in a certain MCU show you watched? I love seeing these familiar faces popping up.

OMG...I am so happy! I love everything about Alias. I can't wait to watch your pilot reation. *makes happy sounds*

Nicole Christie

yeah I hate that they did that. Luckily I purchased all the DVD's when they came out. People who watch the show with the changed music don't get to experience the scenes the same IMO

Christine

Yay ! Thanks, Liam ! Glad you enjoyed it ! Francie looks familiar because you've seen her in Once Upon a Time...she was Ursula. And, though you wouldn't recognize him from Buffy, the actor who played Marshall ( the Q of the agency) was one of Glory's minions.

I think I read somewhere that they changed the music from the original. The original music should be on your DVDs though. So, you can enjoy that aspect when you rewatch.
