Why "Alias" Betrayed Us

Pam and I have watched the TV show "Alias" since it began. Now the show is wrapping up its final season. But with only a few more bites to eat, I can't do it. I'm full of Sidney Bristow. Because I think this show has played very unfairly with us viewers.

Time and again, people get killed off--CLEARLY killed off--and yet they return, alive and well. Now, I read that a number of people who have been dispatched--Vaughn, Francie, Anna Espinosa, Irena, and others--will be making a comeback. Somehow, they're actually alive. We saw Vaughn riddled with bullets...but he's ALIVE.

Sorry, but this isn't fair. The latter years of X-Files were the same way. The writers jerked us around while they tried to figure out where in the world they wanted to take the show. My fear is that "Lost" will go a similar route. So I'm done with Alias. Only a few more shows to go and I'll have seen the series. But no, I'm quitting here.

I trust you have been spiritually edified by this post.

About Me

Steve DennieCareer-wise, I've been hanging around and writing about and cheering on churches and pastors for the past 25 years as my denomination's Communications Director.
I write primarily for my own amusement. If anyone wants to eavesdrop, they're welcome to it. My heartbeat is serving God faithfully through the local church. But my posts repeatedly stray into sports, politics, movies, and other nonsense.
I've been blogging since 2004, and it's been fun. Please understand that, though I work for the United Brethren in Christ denomination, the nonsense I spew out here comes from my own semi-functional brain in a totally personal, non-official capacity. Yes, that's a disclaimer.
