ONCE is my only real fandom. I’m addicted to Scandal right now. I love How I Met Your Mother, Happy Endings (hoping ABC won’t cancel it), Saturday Night Live, Suburgatory, SVU, Parks and Recreation, New Girl, Mindy Project, also reality shows like Market Warriors, Shark Tank.
Great to see so many Alias fans! It’s one of the first series I was truly as passionate about as I am with OUAT.

What did u think of the ending to Alias though?
I think S5 had a lot of problems, thus why it went off the air. I think making Vaughn suddenly be involved in some secret covert operation and ruining his status as all around good guy was a mistake. I think they never fully explained the Rambaldi secrets and could have done a lot more to flesh out the mythology. While tragic, I never expected Jack (or Irina for that matter) to live through the series and I think in the end Irina proved herself to be a fairy horrible person. I was glad it was Jack who took down Sloan, it made the most sense. The happy ending for the Vaughn family was a nice touch but I kinda wish they hadn't alluded to Isabelle being just like her mother. They should have just been a normal family instead of having another Bristow woman who obviously had exceptional skills.
I totally agree with what you said and to this day, I still do not own S5, even though I have all the other seasons of Alias in my collection. I might buy the set someday just to complete the collection.
Here is what I also think may have ruined the show: The lack of Irina in S3. She really needed to be there. The whole online chat with Jack was totally lame. I think they were having contractual issues with Lena Olin, who played Irina, so even though she was supposed to in the S3 plot, she wasn't there. I believe there were also a lot of struggles to get her to come back on toward the end of the series. I also hated how The One vs. The Passenger battle went down. They were prophesizing for the longest time that they would have this epic battle and it was all of two minutes? There should have been more to that. A lot of issues toward the end. Season 5 was a disaster for the most part.

Alias was a fantastic show, another of JJ Abrams creations.
Yes! I think it’s fantastic that JJ Abrams is successful on the big screen now with Star Trek, and Star Wars in the near future. He’s just plain awesome.
