Premiering
in September 2001, Alias has built a steady and
loyal following among television viewers. The show
combines the fast pace action sequences of 24 with
the conspiracy theory backdrop of the X-Files. It
also doesn't hurt that the show centers itself
around a character that's a beautiful and
mysterious woman. But the true strength of Alias,
as with most successful TV shows, is its unique
and creative writers who manage to always keep
their audience on edge…
Jennifer Garner (star of 13
Going On Thirty) plays the role of Sydney Anne
Bristow, a beautiful, intelligent American woman
recruited to work for the government's super
secret SD-6 agency. However, problems arise when
her fiancé is murdered by the agency she works
for, and she ultimately discovers that SD-6 is not
a legitimate government organization at all… In
seek of revenge, Sydney contacts the CIA, and they
deploy her as a double agent. Meanwhile, Sydney's
estranged father, Jack (Victor Garber), also works
as a double agent, and their relationship blossoms
as a result of their work. |
| Together,
they manage to eliminate SD-6, and now both work
full-time for the CIA where they're accompanied
by fellow colleagues Marshall Flinkman (Kevin
Weisman), Marcus Dixon (Carl Lumbly), and
Michael Vaughn (Michael Vartan)…
The Alias DVD features a
number of exciting episodes including the season
premiere "Truth Be Told" in which
Sydney, against her better judgment, confides in
her fiancé Danny the secrets of her SD-6
affiliation. Some time later, Danny is murdered,
and Sydney finds reason to believe that SD-6 is
involved in his death. She also comes to the
realization that SD-6 (which also employs her
father) is not a branch of the CIA, but an
anti-US government force working against it.
Sydney agrees to work with the CIA as a double
agent, and along the way, she learns that her
father is also a double agent. Episode one sets
the framework for the remainder of the series…
Other notable episodes from Season 1 include
"Time Will Tell" in which Sydney is
forced to take a lie detector test while SD-6
attempts to identify the mole within its ranks,
and "Snowman" in which the SD-6 rival
K-Directorate dispatches as assassin known as
the "Snowman" to eliminate the
newcomer Khasinau (alias "the man")…
