Season 5, Episode 4
Big Mama's Alias ! (in The Memory of a Late Great Show)
18 November 2007
Warning: Spoilers
In the first scenes, we watched (Sydney) in one of her successful missions, but while her pregnancy! OH MY GOD, a pregnant secret agent?! And in action too?!! It's not the usual "HA HA HAA" it's "How shoddy and creepy?!". Although the script just tried hard to make it suitable for (Garner) to do her stuff easily, with the support of a direction that wouldn't show her inflated belly that much. BUT it was BIG catastrophe indeed. Actually this is maybe the first action show in the history which had a pregnant woman as the lead! And to compensate her inability to perform, her very well known professional kicks, and the absence of (Vaughn), (Weiss), and (Nadia)--they brought the flat face (Balthazar Getty) along with the charismatic (Rachel Nichols) into play, however nothing would be normal again. And you may think that it can't hit lower bottom. No.. It can. How is that?! I'll tell you..

We've watched lately the spoof of the evil organization which had (Rachel) as a loyal agent who thought all along that she was working for the good guys until HEY, you're wrong kido.. You're working for the other EVIL side! Well, it looks like the bold move of (Sloane) at the first season became a common fashion between all the retired intelligence's men! But don't you ever bother yourself; it's not the first time to make an unbelievable event here. Yes, it's all some nice fiction, but after matters like these, it became a bad, rather disgraceful, fiction!

Moreover, we witnessed finally the trial of Mr. (Sloane). OHHHH, the dream of the whole mankind was fulfilled eventually. We've been waiting, for ages, to see that, however it happened not only so late, but also so dumb. There was some hot trial where the mad judge said all the logic accusations which you could furiously charge the writers with. Honestly, he was so nervous like a viewer who had, at last, all the team of the previous season's writers in front of him! HOWEVER the verdict was: "He is not guilty"??? He has a clean slate as unborn baby. Frankly, AAAHHHHHHHHH!!! You're the guilty ones you morons! They sued themselves for their worst sin, (Sloane), to obtain victory to their nonsense again, just to put it on TV for longer time, and for what? More money, more destroying for their work, and more torturing for us!

Even the famous sudden fade out, of "Lost" too, as a thrilling sharp end, for every exciting sequence, which was one good signature for that show's personality; now with all of that absurd dealing, it became like one computer that goes crazy to turn itself off unawares! Then quickly restart itself again!! Also they put a lot of fast shots from the past seasons in the opening credits, to make you recall some of the glorious bygone, when (Garner) was less paunchy, and the show was more sane!

Although the episode contains some well-done scenes, interesting music, and talented thrilling moments like the suspension of the car by a giant magnet, the deadly riddle of the unfinished funny sentences.. etc. But that's the main deplorable thing in the latest seasons of (Alias), it became like watching your good old heroes coming back to life, and in action again, but as an ugly ghosts!

Now it's your decision. You can watch THAT for: having a pastime, an awful brainless pastime, OR to regard attentively the collapse of a great show by the very hands of its makers, OR to enjoy it as a comic show, a parody of the real (Alias), especially when (Sydney) became (Vaughn) of the first 2 seasons, and sure with the case of "fat mama Bond" it's the perfect farce!

Dear (Alias). Rest in peace. Soon please!
