Clarification: Alias was fantastic before Irina. My frustration concerns the killing of a major character without the actress who plays her. I personally do not think it a good idea. On the other hand, keeping her in the background with no real substance is not good either. I guess what I am...
OK... I just want to remark how LAME it would be for them to kill Irina without Lena Olin even coming back for a brief appearance. I cannot possible believe that they think it a good idea to do something as emtional and story altering as that "off camara" and then have someone tell Sydney...
I definitely think that the third Derevko sister is going to be introduced at some point. Let's hope it is accompanied by an appearance of Irina! (Wishful thinking!)
Also, what ever became if Lauren's mother? Did I miss something. Maybe she is Yelena?
