Anyhow, its still my favorite show on tv, and i'm definetly watching it next season.



So are we certain that the girl at the end was the same one from season 1?
where is Nina right now?

Yep, I recognized her too from the first season.
I also agree with that Kim thing... if anything was lame, it was the whole Kim thing....

Alias, whats that?
And yes we are better

yeah, we're better. poop on episodic tv shows.

I only watch these 2 shows.. 24 and Alias. I must say Alias' plot lines/twists kick the @$$ out of 24's. There is no favoritism here. What would be the purpose of me saying it if it weren't true IMO ?

These 24 episode ideas and plot twists could've been done by JJ Abrams in his sleep. He is THAT good. Who here has given it a chance ?

i've watched it a few times, but with 24 i make it a point to watch it so i don't miss antyhing. it doesn't matter with episodic shows cause you can just watch them whenever.

Alias is NOT episodic. They tie up SOME loose ends, but some are left to your imagination until the next episode (which are always appropriately titled, BTW). There are tons of plot twists that stemmed from even season 1... and you think to yourself... WHOA... there is NO WAY the writer (JJ Abrams) planned that from the beginning... and then you 2nd guess yourself whether he did or not. Prime example is Sydney's mom... how you think she's on her side one moment then she screws her over YET again, BUT you didn't see it coming (again). Brilliance how it's all explained indirectly. The post-Superbowl episode kind of threw a lot of things out the window because he wanted to appeal to a new audience (seeing all the potential that timeslot had) so it was a chance for people to see the show from fresh plotlines - but not really. Even that was tied to season 1 stuff, but you quickly caught on. Seeing this is a 24 thread, I won't go on, but for anyone who hasn't seen Alias, find them for download... the season 2 cliffhanger is one of the best I've ever... experienced.

My complaint against this 24 finale was this: they cheated. You go through 24 long episodes and when Jack finally "saves" the world, you have one guy make a simple phone call and say "go ahead" ... that seeds the next season. That's cheating. There's nothing that made you think... "yes, I could've seen that coming because such-and-such happened, how sneaky of them." There's nothing that fuels the next season - aside from a president on the virge of death. That's it ? Like said before, this could've been done at any time. What a half-a$$ed effort at a finale and a cliffhanger. I expected a lot more from this show after a great season 1 story.

alias isn't episodic, u gave yourself away right there. if you weren't in from season 1(which is out on dvd i think) u kinda miss out on a whole lot, just like with 24. what i had said i watched 24 a "few times" and thought it was dumb u'd freak out and call me bonkers. well i call u bonkers now cuz u deserve it. i've seen all eps of both shows and like em both. i can't call one superior to the other, they are apples and oranges. alias IS good though. and its cliffhanger was an exciting mini movie/fx laden/action etc 2 hour finale that beat the pants off 24s finale this time. last nights eps was weak compared to last years. it just felt convenient...too convenient. it needed a 25th eps

i suggest you rent the first season of alias and start watching season 2 is on bit torrent. i have the 1.5gb season 2 finale on my hd, encoded from hdtv, sweet sweet quality

It would be a great leadin to the next season if they killed palmer. Palmer dies, Prescott (who's secretly been working w/ the oil consortium) becomes president and has the prefect excuse to declare war (assasination). Now you have Bauer & Co. trying to stop a war while you have a corrupt president.

And I COMPLETELY agree the Kim storylines were retarded! She's like a magent for psycho and stupid people.

Wow - that's a retarded plot. There is no way Jack is going to be *stopping in war* if it's just him and he has no one on the inside to help him. This one is definitely better b/c you have Jack investigating who poisoned the President vs doing something impossible.

I agree w/ EXP w/ most of what he said - but I think it would have been too stupid and a repeat if they involved Kim directly w/ the storyline. It would look like 24 Season 1 all over again. But I guess now that both things have been done, I wonder what they're going to do w/ her in Season 3?

 

[rh71]

Strip-her... uhh.. I mean... stripper.

 

[Spooner]

exp, Although I really love the show..... i couldn't have said it better myself.

Kim had no point.
The Michelle / Kerri thing got WAY annoying.
