'War Stories'
[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.
I have never watched Alias, but I might have to start.
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.
The new season of Alias doesn't start until January.
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.
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.
Oooh, this thread has turned into spicy brain land, what with Cindy and Micole and Consuela!
However, much as I do adore Micole's spicy brains, I have to at least point out that
And we see Angel's own peculiar combination of self-righteousness/moral blindness enacted in violence on Lindsey
this isn't quite the whole story, given that the scroll Lindsey was going to burn was the only way to save Cordelia from spending the rest of her life bombarded with insanity-and-pain-inflicting visions. Plus, Lindsey basically told Angel "thanks for the second chance, but fuck that, I want the big prize instead, sucker". Lindsey absolutely got what he deserved in TO SHANSU..., and any grudges he held about his hand should have been directed at the mirror or Holland.

Thanks.
I think that they were talking about having a 20 episode season next year. Not sure where I heard that!
