DVD Description

The third season of Alias found super spy Sydney Bristow (Jennifer Garner) waking up in Hong Kong with a monster hangover and two years in the future with nary a memory. What's worse, her world has been turned upside-down with the evil Sloane (Ron Rifkin) now a world-famous humanitarian and philanthropist, and, even worse, her true love Vaughn (Michael Vartan) married to a seemingly great gal. Nice way to go back to work, eh? After coming up with one heck of a cliffhanger in season 2, Alias proceeded a bit aimlessly through these 22 episodes, and as a result, the parts were truly greater than the whole. With Lena Olin no longer around as Syd's duplicitous mother, and the addition of admirable yet bland Melissa George as Vaughn's wife Lauren, Garner found herself for the first time without a compelling female foil to play off of. By dividing its focus equally between the quest for the enigmatic Rambaldi device, Syd and Vaughn's now-contentious relationship, and the uncovering of Syd's missing years, Alias lost a little of its power without a larger story arc. The loss of regular cast members Merrin Dungey (Francie/Alison) and Bradley Cooper (Will)--both of whom do make great guest appearances--also divest the show of the personal life that kept Sydney human and approachable. Still, Garner is stellar as always, the plot twists come fast and furious, and secret identities are revealed. This season does have a great panorama of guest actors including Ricky Gervais, Justin Theroux, Djimon Hounsou, David Cronenberg, Quentin Tarantino, Vivica A. Fox, and Isabella Rossellini as Syd's long-lost aunt. --Mark Englehart

By Far The Best Show On Television

I must agree with the majority here... Season 3 was definitely not as good as Season 2, however I do believe it was better than Season 1 as a whole. But who cares? Season 3 was still better than anything else on television!

The one thing I love about Alias is that every season is different and has a completely different story line than any other season. Season 1 was all about Sydney being a double agent, Season 2 was mainly about Sydney's family and Irina, and Season 3 was about the love triangle between Lauren, Michael, and Sydney. I also think that Season 3 was more about Rambaldi than the others but maybe that's just me. Rambaldi is the only constant story line in Alias.

Anyways, I found Season 3 to be excellent. A lot of people who have reviewed Season 3 have complained about the absence of Lena Olin. In my opinion, I believe that Melissa George's character, Lauren Reed, definitely made up for it. Lauren brought a lot of elements to the show. I've never been so mad at a character on a television show. Truthfully, I was actually disappointed that she died in the finale (or did she?... lol). But like I said, a good thing about Alias is its ability to end and create different characters every season.

Alias Season 3 has everything you could ever want... drama, suspense, action, romance, and comedy (Thanks to Marshall). Alias is by far the best show on television. And I believe that Season 3 is NOT a disappointment. I just don't know if I can wait 6 months for season 4!


Alias - The Best Show On TV

I started watching Alias since the pilot episode of the first season. Then later on I got excited over the show because its the best show on television right now (on sundays that is). Alias is my #1 favorite show to watch any time and any where. Now that I own the first two season on DVD, its great collecting the DVD to watch over and over. I am so addicted to this show, more than words can say... Also I buy the Alias magazines which comes out every two months. I love having Alias on DVD to watch at home. Its a priceless item for such a fan of Alias. Seasons 1 & 2 were great, and season 3 was full of twists and turns which was really a shocker to learn that Sydney Bristow (aka Jennifer Garner) has a half-sister whom dad is Arvin Sloane. And finally Syd & Vaughn back together in the last epiosde of the season. 2 thumbs up for Alias! The most addicting show ever!!!


Disapointing Third season for Alias

After two incredidibly good seasons, Alias came back to earth in season 3, which Alias creator JJ Abrams himself admitted being terrible. Indeed, Lena Olin's absence from the cast was deeply felt, as well as a lack of exciting ideas. The first half of the season about Sidney's disappearance was plain boring. Still, the second half rocked and gives hope for season four. So season 3 is not a complete failure but is still a huge disapointment compared to the prfection of season 1 and 2
