[The News Bot]

Well, it’s not the strongest season, in fact I’d argue it is the weakest to date, but a weak season of Alias is still much better than a lot of shows out there. In terms of a check list, we have Garner looking great, plenty of espionage and many revelations, but due to them removing, for most of the season, the plot device of Rambaldi until we get well over half way through when things start falling into place certainly weakened the show for me, as it has always been about two things Sloane/Rambaldi and Syd and her family. Without one of these driving the show, it did make me wonder what was going on, and indeed, with the finale, I am wondering where it is going. Still, much entertainment for fans but you really need to see the show from the beginning to get the most out of it. Oh, by the way, I absolutely hate the new theme tune.
