(warning: spoilers through Sunday's ep. [in the US])
I've never posted here, but I'm dead bored and I'm wandering the net thinking about good TV.
I don't know how many Alias fans are out there, but the last episode made me think of B5. Just the sense of impending doom, of something immense beginning to surface.
The man (Conrad) in a Buddhist temple hands Sloane a Rambaldi manuscript, and this counts as an apocaylpytic event? I've got goosebumps. I feel like the season finale is going to be the Alias equivalent of "In the Shadow of Z'ha'dum" -- mysteries explained and the enemy unmasked.
Considering how trivial most TV shows are these days, with the B5 franchise stalled, Star Trek in a downward spiral, and Buffy going off the air, I am deeply relieved that Alias is ready to tackle big and dangerous themes. Not exactly SciFi, but darn good TV in an era when we're drowning in ridiculousness.
Any thoughts?
