“Why are you wearing that ring?”
J.J. Abrams renewed his platinum-card membership in the Evil Genius Club again tonight with the “Alias” season finale. It was just January when he turned the show on its ear by getting rid of SD-6, and now he does something just as devilish. How many soap opera cliches can this man trot out while still making it interesting? Long-lost parents, evil doubles, and now amnesia. I’m in awe. Abrams even put poor stabbed Will in the bathtub, the same place Syd found her doomed fiance. Brilliant and painful. Plus, there was the drug Faux Francie had to take – shades of the Jaime Sommers double from yesteryear. Great trashy fun.
If anyone ever suspects I’ve been replaced by an evil genetically-engineered double, just show the double a photo of japanese carp and judge his reaction. That should clear things up.
What’s your reaction to Japanese carp?
I fear them.
Oh, right, I forgot.
What!? You’re scared of koi?!
I did not own a television for 7 years. I then landed a boyfriend who aspired to be a comic book artist (he was hot, what can I say) & was addicted to anime, the Superfriends & so on. I inherited the television in the divorce. The current beau’s telediction is news.
Over time I’ve gotten used to the presence of the one-eyed monster in my life again (referring to the television should you be feeling pervish while reading this) but more as a casual observer than a disciple.
All that changed a while back when I watched Alias for the first time. I couldn’t agree with you more of your assessment of the show & it’s cheese factor. But it’s definitely brie rather than Velveeta?.
