I have to admit I'm a little disappointed that Weiss is being brought into APO as well. It would have been nice for Syd to develop a closer friendship with him, especially now that he's out of the loop, so to speak. To bring him into APO so quickly isn't really in the vein of trying to get the feeling of Season 1 back, although they are more than halfway through shooting the season now, so we can't be sure exactly when he's recruited. One of the most engrossing things about the first season and a half of Alias was watching how Sydney juggled her family, friends, and work, and once Sydney brought down SD-6 and Francie was replaced, the show changed from that to a show about a bunch of people who work together in the CIA. That scene with Weiss at Syd's house showed the possibility of returning to that earlier style, but if Weiss is going to at least know about APO before the end of this season, I guess that's not what they'll be going for.
