I wouldn't say it was terrible.... the season as a whole wasn't my favorite but it started to redeem itself torward the end... The "Hourglass" ep. made me feel like it was the Alias of old and was the best episode in season 3.

If you say you'll never watch again, what are you doing here? :lol:
Personally, I'd say it definitely slipped--enough to disappoint--but there was enough to like for me to say honestly that I liked it. Unfortunately they gave us plenty to pick on, though.

I liked it, it definitely wasn't as good as the first two seasons but I thought it was still good. I don't think it was terrible at all just not as good as what we were used to.

I thought Series 3 was great. Cant wait for 4
Season 3 wasn't as good as 1 or 2. But it was still damn good TV. Compared to just about everything else out there, it was still one of the best. The problem is that Seasons 1 and 2 were too good. So in comparison, season 3 sucked.
Another thing to consider is that Season 3 was a darker season. There were very few light and funny moments. Syd lost a lot of the vulnerabilty that defined her humanity in season 1. We all love syd. When she cries, do we not cry with her? So having to bear with her all the burdens of this treacherous year may have darkened our preception of season 3.
But fear not my fellow Aliasers, for the obsidian veil that has so shadowed syd's life for all of Season 3 shall soon be lifted. And together we shall savor her rebirth as Season 4 resumes in Jaunary. As the old cliche goes, it's always darkest before the dawn.

From what I can gather, the writers admit that by the end of Season 2, they felt like they had painted themselves into a corner with the Rambaldi storyline. It was a bold move for them to just skip ahead two years. Their hope was that in season 3, because there is a two year disconnect, all of the storylines could start afresh with only some reference to the past. This way, new viewers would find it easier to get into the program. Slowly, they would then fill in the gaps.

It was nowhere near as good as the first 2 seasons.

It was certainly the weakest of the 3, but I still very much enjoyed this past season and I'm really looking forward to January's premiere.

The writing for season three was inconsistent and immature. ALIAS used to be an adult drama with some quick wit. During Season 3, the show morphed into a teeny-bopper soap opera that would fit right in on the WB. Some of the lines we heard Sydney and Vaughn say were more appropriate for a high-schooler or college kid. Maybe that's why the fan base is getting younger.
