Again?????

[Dustin]

Alright...well.....I think it's time for me to watch all 5 seasons again! I am having Alias withdrawals! ha!

[Amanda]

Seson 1 for me TODAY! I'm 1/3 of the way through, and I'm reminded of several things I loved:

-When Dixon cut the bomb out of that guy's chest in the back of the ambulance during a chase scene. I loved it so much because it gave Dixon a chance to be the hero--I've always liked Dixon...
-Wicked cool when Anna and Sydney meet in the stadium to open the briefcase and when they open it, the code (1s and 0s) begin to get erased by that weird inky stuff.
-The guy who was locked up in the insane asylum (the one who killed Danny) is a great actor. Why isn't he in more TV shows?
-Is the gal who plays Will's assistant also the gal who plays Carmen in The L Word? (Ok, ok, I guess I could just go look it up myself.)
-Will Tippin ROCKS!

[Dustin]

Hey Amanda have you finished watching the first season yet?!

[Amanda]

Ha! No, I suck. :( I got distracted by reading. And now I'm applying for grad schools. Hey, aren't you going to college soon? (Or did you start already? I forget.)

Edit: I think I only have 1 disc left in season 1 before I finish.

[Dustin]

I am in college now. Like literally NOW! haha! I'm bored! So..... one disc left! awesome! I want to watch them again!

[Amanda]

You're an addict!
;)

[Dustin]

Don't I know it! :P

[Amanda]

Lordy. I'm making my friend Robbie watch, but we're only on episode 3. He's in paramedic school so he can only come over once in a while. I'm hoping we can do at least 2 episodes tonight. We shall see.


Jack Bristow is a cunning mo fo.

[Amanda]

We got through episode 6!!! (I think it was 6...) Will Tippin just went to Eloise Kurtz' apartment and she'd "moved out" and her walls had been freshly painted!

Dun. Dun. Dun.
Stay tuned for next time when Will once again crosses a line he should not cross. And will Sydney escape the insane asylum? Of course she will! She's Sydney Bristow!

[Dustin]

Haha! that's hilarious! and I never have time anymore to watch them! grrr....... :[

[Amanda]

The good news is: we finished Episode 7 tonight (Color Blind) and Robbie is really starting to get into the story! Woooooo hoooooooo!

I really like that guy that plays Shepherd (the one Sydney rescued out of the insane asylum). And the two asylum episodes are really fantastic. They always have me on the edge of my seat even moreso than other episodes.

[Dustin]

Yeah it was great! So great in fact that I chose to play Shepherd for a skit I had to do in Drama! It was awesome! I had a whole fight scene and everything! :]

[Amanda]

Very cool. What was the sketch about? Was it the Alias character studies you and Melissa were talking about a few months ago?

[Dustin]

Kinda! It was just a chance for Melissa to see everyone's abilities. And yeah it was just like on Alias! Shepherd had to escape with Sydney!......I convinced some people to do the skit with me! Haha!

[Amanda]

My friend Robbie wants to do an Alias short play for our local playwrights group. hee hee hee.

Anyway, he comes over to watch the shows with my roomate and me. We just finished Episode 8 of Season 2! :) Moving right along, slowly but surely. I'm happy to be rewatching the episodes! It reminds me that I really loved Season 1--it's probably my favorite.

Anyway, right now, they're on the mission where they had to take Irina with them and she was wearing that C4 necklace which they used as a bomb to fend off their attackers. Jack's being the hardass that makes him who he is. He's my friend Robbie's favorite character.

[Dustin]

Haha! that sounds like it'd be fun! I have just started watching Season 1 again! I'm almost finished! I have two discs left! It won't take long and then we will be on the same page! :D I really love that episode! It brings out the best in Irina....even though she is bad! You know she really cares about Sydney, but Rambaldi corrupts her!

[Amanda]

Oh yeah, baby. When they used those plutonium cores to open the box containing the orchid, I watched Irina to see if she got excited at all. She did a little, but not as much as I'd expected. I wonder if the writers hadn't decided that she's Rambaldi-crazy yet. OR, is this the phase where she's trying to wean herself off her Rambaldi obsession? She's quite an intriguing character FOR SURE! And very beautiful, too.

Tonight we watched the episode where the CIA destroys the Alliance! Sooooooo exciting! Robbie said, "What? That was too easy. Something else has to be going on." And then they cut to Sloane and Sark and "bad" Francie. Awesome!

Oh, last thing--I love Olivia D'Abo! (Emma Watson--no, wait, what's her character's name?) She got blown up by Ethan Hawke in Berlin... Anyway, I thought her character in The Wonder Years was a real bitch back when I was a kid. But I've seen her in other stuff and in Wonder Years re-runs and I really like her! I wish she was in more stuff.

[Dustin]

Irina is definitely a great character! Very dynamic! The raid on all SD cells was a GREAT episode! I love how Sydney and Vaughn get to open about their relationship now! It's awesome!

"All around the mulberry bush, the monkey chased the weasel, the monkey thought it was all for fun......po...p goes the weasel......BOOM! Oh man! Is it morbid that I actual like that part? I mean I know it's horrible that she dies, but the genius of the song is what gets me!

[Amanda]

Yep, it's morbid. It's official--you're a freak! ;)

[Dustin]

Haha! yeah....! :P

[Amanda]

I'm onto season 3. !

[Dustin]

Hey! it's been a while! what's been going on? have you finished season 3 yet? I still haven't started watching it again! :[

[Amanda]

Hey, turn that frown upside down!!! All is well in the world today...
Finished season 3, but (dun, dun, dun) I DON'T OWN SEASONS 4 OR 5! :( *sigh* I think I'm gonna have to buy 'em online or something...

[Dustin]

Yes, yes it is! you are right! but still....I miss my Alias! I know you have to be dying to watch them after season 3's ending!........Jack: "You were never supposed to have found this!" Haha! :]

[Amanda]

Oh yeah, that was VERY cool. He was standing in the background and Syd didn't see him there... He's stealthy fo sho! I'm eager to get to season 4--I forget what happens. Which is kind of nice, actually, because it's like watching it all over again for the first time... Hee hee

[Amanda]

PS. I love, love, love your new avatar picture!!! It rocks. And makes me giggle.

[Dustin]

Haha!......thanks! :]

[Amanda]

FINALLY!!!!!
I found Season 4 at the used bookstore. Good Lord, I did a happy dance! I've been waiting for those DVDs, since, when? December?

I'm gonna post my happy pic on my profile in the "other photos" section.

[Dustin]

Haha! Awesome! Ive been slowly but surely making my way through the seasons again! Almost done with the 2nd season!! :D

[Dru]

I just finished watching season 4, my sister introduced me to it (it has kick butt, strong women characters and little/baby sisters so of course MY sister recomended it)I NEED to watch season 5. never seen it before XD

[Amanda]

[Dru]
