Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb
It's a mobius strip of morality, twisting into darkness and back into the light.
Beautifully phrased, Consuela. It's a wonderful way of saying you can't live in the grey. You have to chose, even if you occassionally make the wrong choice. Because you always have the option, next time, of chosing differently. It's how we all express free will. So, we all are on that same Moebius strip, only at different places at different times. The MoG at the very end found themselves finally together at the same point on the strip and it was "one brief, shining moment." Perfect.

Micole and Suela's brains are too spicy.
I haven't had coffee.
but one hears Edlund is being hotly pursued by one of the most promising new series of the coming season
Hmm... wanna know which ONE. I mean, I know which one I want it to be, but I doubt American Dad is considered promising.

All is well that ends in pizza.
The new season of Alias doesn't start until January.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I'm watching the first season on DVD. It's very fun. Exciting and intriguing, even though I don't know what's really going on half the time (it's McGuffin city). Cliffhangers galore, reminiscent of Angel S4. I only liked it at first, but I'm about halfway through, and I'm starting to love it.
Plus, they get supermajorprops for using a freaking Garbage B-side in one episode.

Has there been a reason given for this, I thought it was a fairly popular series? What season is Alias in now?

Third season ends tomorrow. The fourth season begins in January to allow for an uninterrupted 22-episode run.

Plus it'll take JJ that long to figure a way out from whatever asspull he ends the season with this year.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
NYPD Blue is doing the same thing, as is something else I forget. Starting late, and going through with no repeats or large gaps (NYPD Blue's slot was re-run free this season too -- Line Of Fire ran when NYPD Blue didn't, until it was cancelled).
The fall season is becoming fuzzier and fuzzier -- see the success of the summer show (har) The OC, which went on to finish when all its brethren did, which meant it ran 27 episodes instead of 22.

I think 24 is doing the start in January thing, also.
