More Alias Dish

Courtesy of Dark Horizons.com, here's some more of what to expect as Alias completes its 5-year run this spring.

"TV.Com reports that ABC promises that when "Alias" returns to the airwaves after its hiatus, the series will wrap up storylines with the birth of lead character Sydney's baby and the reappearance of Michael Vaughn (Michael Vartan) before its finale this season. The show returns to the schedule with a two-hour blowout Wednesday, April 19th at 8pm, followed by the show's 100th episode the following week when it will return in its old post-"Lost" timeslot. ABC says that Vaughn will be back before the end of the season, but didn't give any more details. They did indicate though that it'll wrap up the outcome of the Rambaldi Prophecy from the first season, the fate of Sydney's sister Nadia, and the return of such characters as Will Tippin (Bradley Cooper), Julian Sark (David Anders), Anna Espinosa (Gina Torres) and Irina Derevko (Lena Olin)."

*******************

Finally, we'll have the rassa frassa Rambaldi Prophecy silliness wrapped up. It was interesting when the show first started, but it became so convoluted after awhile that I stopped caring about it. I'd even thought that it had been brought to a conclusion, but I guess not.

Anyway, here's hoping for a glorious and happy ending for a show that at one time was my at the top of my "Must Never Miss" list. It's the show that launched Jennifer Garner into stardom and made being a spy cool again. For its first season and a half, Alias was easily the best show on television, and while it's not the show it once was, I'll still be eagerly watching the remaining 8 episodes.

That's all for now, boys and girls. Be back later tonight with my comic picks of the week.
