RIP Alias

November 23, 2005 by  

ABC has announced that Alias will end its 5-season run this coming May.

I can’t say that I’m surprised by this news. Although the show had a cult-like following for the first few seasons, it never garnered (no pun intended) the ratings that ABC needed to keep it on the air.

On a personal note, Alias has been one of my favorite shows of all time. The first few seasons were fantastic. From the writing, to the acting – Alias was good television. But there has been a noticeable change over the past few seasons. With series creator JJ Abrams spending time developing new projects (Lost, MI:3), Alias seem to lost the “it” factor that made it so special. The already complex storylines got more convulted, and even diehards like myself found them hard to follow. I just wasn’t as interested in the characters as I once was. Sydney Bristow lost her depth when they took away her outside life and her friends. Alias became just another action drama. I wasn’t involved in the show anymore. I didn’t live for the the opening scenes as I had for so many years. Alias hasn’t been the same for some time now, and although I am sad to see a favorite go, I think I am ready to say goodbye.

I only ask for one thing – that JJ Abrams comes back to pen the final episodes. Do it for the Alias diehards among us. Those of us who stuck with this show (and Rimbaldi) for 5 seasons. You owe us. And oh yeah, if you wouldn’t mind sending someone to Austrailia to bring back Michael Vartan for the seriese finale, I woul greatly appreciate it. We miss Vaughn!!!
