Why Alias Sucks

First a list of why it used to be good:
-Cool CIA theme in a post-9/11 world that was obsessed with the CIA
-It had a half Felcity thing going on with the grad school and friends, lots of candles and wine drinking
-Yummy Michael Vartan
-A pre-Kitchen Confidential Bradley Cooper (who wasn’t yummy then, but somehow turned yummy on his new show, more on that later)
-It had a cool DaVinci Code vibe before the world was DaVinci Code obsessed
-The whole Rambaldi mystery was shaping up to be of epic proportions
-Jennifer Garner did a lot of ass-kicking
-Sexy sex scenes with Vartan and Garner (who were getting in on in real life too)
-Evil Francie (before she was on that awful Summerland).
-It used to end on a cliffhanger every episode and pick up at the same spot in next week’s episode

Why It Sucks Now:
-Michael Vaughn is dead (I know he’s coming back, but that whole ratings stunt sucks)
-No more sexy sex scenes with Vartan and Mrs. Affleck as the new hubby is jealous!
-Sydney now has no friends, no life, no buddies to even hook up with (who knew Will was going to get hot when he left the show?)
-If people want to see a good CIA show now, they watch 24
-They can’t seem to decide if they want a Rambaldi thread or not and they keep dropping the ball (watch Lost to see what it’s like when writers don’t make this shit up as they go along)
-Jennifer Garner has cut down on the ass kicking (even before she was preggers)
-It’s the same freakin’ show every week (starts out on a mission, cut to staff meeting, cut to villain du jour, battle royale, they all live happily ever after)
-How many times can Sydney lose her fiancé before getting freaked out?
-How many times can Sydney, her mother, her sister, Weis,. Vaughn, etc. "fake die" before I stop caring? No more do-overs!
-Stupid Sloane keeps getting in trouble and then acquitted. Really people . . .
-What is Nadia’s deal? I don ‘t think anyone knows what to do with her. She’s the one they should have killed off, and for good.

How to Make It Better:
-Bring Vartan/ Vaughn back ASAP!
-Add some depth and layers back to Syndey’s life. How about a an ass-kicking soccer mom? That might be amusing.
-They are bringing in a new batch of characters (probably to replace Garner on maternity leave). Keep some of them around and give them interesting plots, backstories.
-Plot out this Rambaldi and really milk it into something big
Tune in on Thursday to see if they took any of my suggestions!
