Well, I know i’m kinda being the black sheep on this forum cos I openly criticized the 2 first episodes, but I’m back again on this last one!
To me it was a zillion times better than Authorized Personnel Only (Parts I and II)!
Seems we’re kinda back to season one with Sydney doing what she does best : glamourize the action… and it works… great even!
The writers decided to take some distance from the Rambaldi story and it gives Alias some fresh air but in the meantime, the show now looks like a very regular action spy movie. It seems it lost its spiritual, ambiguous, limitless, philosophical ways… to something simpler and quite effective!
My main problem remains the characters seem not to be humans anymore, even the way they act… Jen garner isn’t giving much to Sydney these days, like she took some distance with the character she plays.
I mean, just remember the pilot season one, it was the main idea of the show : a perfect mixture between Sydney’s humanity (loosing the man she loves, discovering her father, feeling trapped in her life…) and her work (the action, the betrayals, the games, the enemies…)… Season 2 and 3 followed the same path!
Now it’s even quite hard to buy she feels tortured for Nadia, love or hate anyone and even her romance with Vaughn seems like out of it!
I’m not saying the show has to go back there, but its richness was lying in its humanity and ambiguity… which seems to have been lost these days…
Let’s wait and see!
