Author: cdmoir-1 from United States

No spoiler, just a general statement about how disappointed I am in Alias-you all write how enthralling it is but it's just a formula repeated over and over, with little depth or realism. Every week, Sidney gets three closeup looks-surprise, anguish or pain. Every week, she runs down a hall, high roundhouse kicks the snot out of someone and then returns to LA. There is so little time spent developing any character but her own that I feel sorry for the other actors who mostly get to stand around and brood. If she's not begging her prof to let her stay in the program, then she's giving her dad the 'I hate you' from her high horse look. Every week, we're treated to another puppy dog look from Will-who is cute enough to know better-or even worse, Vaughn giving her the 'I don't know how to tell you this..' look. 24 and The Shield both do much better jobs at character development. Even Get Smart had better character development, which is what Alias reminds me of, except GS was funny and high camp.
