alias finale!

[schmerica]

Also, this evening I finally watched the last two episodes of Alias for the first time, thus finishing off my very last pieces of canon I had saved away!

And, okay. The thing about Alias, as I was telling fox1013, is that it truly is the TRIUMPH of "yeah, but it would be COOL" over every single other storytelling consideration in the world. And really, considering in that light? It succeeds just about perfectly in all its goals.

In conclusion, <3 JACK BRISTOW I LOVE YOU FOREVER.

Jack gets the best first scene and best last scene EVAR.

That is because he is THE MAN. Except in the sense that most of s1 was about how Irina was actually THE MAN. But other than that!

As my girlfriend pointed out, Alias should have changed its name to "Jack Bristow is Always Right".

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Ahahahaha. It would be completely appropriate!

I think it could still have legs as a spin off, myself. Set in the afterlife, the angel/ghost Jack Bristow must guide others through difficult periods of their lives, using only his cold unfeeling heart and brutal honesty.

Arg! Thanks for ruining it! Damn, LJ needs a spoiler tag...

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Uh, comments to episode reactions have a very high chance of being spoilery, in general!

[kirbybits.livejournal.com]

Sorry! I figured since the series finished up back in May, it was old news by now.

Hehe, it's alright. I'm currently deployed to Iraq so I haven't seen any of the new season yet.

And pearl... yes, but that doesn't mean they couldn't implement a new tag for spoilers, which was my overall point.
