I just watched the season premiere and I was actually impressed.

Tuned in and out of the show since I saw a marathon of it in 2001 but for some reason I really digged tonight's premiere.

Did anyone else watch it?

Although Buff would still kick that...
 
I'm watching it right now. It's surprising me. I'm liking it.

I tried to start watching it last season, but found it boring, indecipherable if you missed a couple of episodes and silly.

I'm trying to get into it again, because I heard Drew Goddard and Jeff bell were going to be writing eps this year. I wanted to be up on what was going on, so I'd understand the arc when their eps appeared.

Like I said, it's pretty good so far. Plus Angela Basset; she's my favourite actress since Strange days. Hope they let her put on a tank top, and fight. Not a big fan of Jennifer Garner's though. They shouldn't make her attempt accents. She can't do them.
 
I watched the first 3 seasons on Dvd and loved the show. I think the season 4 premiere was awesome...but I mean come on it is Alias.
 
This show is really really good. It keeps me hooked really, & lately, as in since BtVS & Angel, The Pretender & Dark Angel etc. are all over, I think it's hard to find a good show. Let's hope they'll go on this intricate & great plot for long !!! :jumping31
 
Sometimes Jennifer looks amazing then other times blah. And her mouth is sort of weird when viewed from some angles, profile and such.

I loved
when Sydney faked quitting, actually believed her and somewhat wanted her too. She's been through alot. And I never guessed that what she was upset about from last season was her mother's death commissioned by her father. I thought it had something to do with her. Ah my theories and I.
 
After last year's awful season, I was begging for this season to be better and it was! I loved the premiere!

I never find her to be blah, to me she will always be a goddess among us mere mortals.

I knew she wouldn't, she couldn't cause if she did there would be no show.

No denying, but that is what makes Sydney so great. She is like the Energizer Bunny, but not annoying and instead of cute she is a goddess.

I interpreted that as her being nothing more than a project to make a super spy or something, that he grew to love as a daughter. Kind of like when a guy goes out with a girl on a bet/dare and falls for her and she finds out thing but with spies.

I loved last season, of the three it tops them all it is the cherry on top, it is the icing on the cake, etc, etc.

Actually my theory was that she had been "created" by the CIA to be some spy prodigy.

To me she will never compare to SMG. And her character will never compare to Buffy. But that's just me...

That's similar to my other theory, a clone of Irena with a little Jack DNA thrown in just in case she ever had a test done to tell her who her parents weren't.

To me she is a league of her own. And SMG is a half breed of that league like Hercules is a demi-god.
 
I'd never seen the show before last night, I had always wanted to watch it but for one reason or another I never did. But I loved the premiere, I got more into it everytime I saw the trailor for it. It seemed kind of confusing but that might have just been because I have no idea what happened the previous season.
 
It had a great spot in the schedule last night too - following Lost.

I'll bet it does really well in the ratings.

This was the first time I've ever been able to make it through a whole episode of Alias. I was hooked by last night's offering. Pretty good. I'll watch it again.

I couldn't get into it before at all.
 
I loved the premiere, it was fantastic. I was hooked every minute. I have been watching since last year and I am about to start the s1 dvd set, I hear s2 is fantastic and I will by it when I am done. I got my programming insider email this AM and they did very well in the ratings.
 
It really is a great show full of twists, great actors, and amazing plots. You'll see how hard they work on the show if you do end up getting the DVDs.
 
I've been watching is since the begining and it's been very good. I can't really remember what happens in S1 but I know the basics. I loved how it's kinda a new Alias this year. They had a new openings, new settings, and kinda a new plot. I am made that Sark isn't going to be in very many though. I love Sark. But in Season 3 he kinda got annoying I thought.
-Love Leslie
 
If you think about it, this season is kind of like Buffy season 7 without the overhanging news that it is the last season.

There is a "new SD6", Sloane is the boss, Sydney's cover is working at a bank, Dixon is Sydney's partner again, etc.
