Is Alias too Complicated?

Alias is a complex show. That's a fact. Sometimes it can be difficult to understand what is going on unless you saw the episode previous. But I think the cliff-hanger endings are what makes you wanna come back week after week. They played those down in Season 2, in comparison to the first season, probably coz it would allow new viewers to tune in without being confused as to what was going on.

I started watching at the beginning of Season 2 and, though it is complex, I found it easy to pick up on the storyline. I am just kicking myself for not watching season 1!!! Yay for me, the dvd's come out in 2 weeks (Australia)!!!

ABC should take a look at the ratings and realize they were higher with the cliffhangers and just let the production team do what they want and put them in if they want.

I agree. The cliffhangers keep people coming back. I started watching at about the 4th episode of season one when i was 12 and i picked up on the story after about three episodes. It isn't that difficult to understand, it just takes time!verdantheart said:ABC should take a look at the ratings and realize they were higher with the cliffhangers and just let the production team do what they want and put them in if they want.
Yeah, I agree with you. The complicating plots are what make it interesting..they make you think and wonder what the characters could possibly do to make the situation better.
and yeah I do wish that JJ would bring back some of those cliffhangers...they kept me pumped for the next week~

I started watching Alias somewhere in series 2 (the episode where Vaughn's hands were bleeding) and I admit I found it kinda confusing...and I think I would have kept finding it confusing if my friends hadn't filled me in soo much with the plot and stuff.

I started watching Alias when the Box, Part One aired. I didn't understand it fully but I enjoyed it very much. If Alias wasn't compecated, it wouldn't be as good a show.

It's never been my experience that men in general are less able to understand complex things! Intellectual ability is something that I've found to be unrelated to gender (although some people at my university seemed to think that because I was a woman--or perhaps because I wasn't an ugly woman--I was somehow automatically stupid; it was most annoying, although it could be fun to surprise them).
