Editorial Reviews

The labyrinthine plotting of Alias took an even more mind-boggling turn when the second season ended on a cliff-hanger of mythic proportions, leaving fans wondering how the heck Sydney (Jennifer Garner) would get herself out of this one. After a ferocious hand-to-hand fight between Syd and the evil twin of her dead best friend, Francie (Merrin Dungey), our heroine was left on the floor, unconscious. She awakens in a Hong Kong alley and, after calling for help, is relieved to find boyfriend Vaughn (Michael Vartan) waiting for her at a safe house. According to Vaughn, Sydney has been missing for over two years -- and he is wearing a wedding ring. Season 3 picks up at this point, with Syd adjusting to a world that now seems upside-down. In the season opener, "The Two," Will (Bradley Cooper) is in the witness protection program; Irina (Lena Olin) is on the run; Jack (Victor Garber) is being held in a federal detention facility; Dixon (Carl Lumbly) is now director of the division; evil Sloane (Ron Rifkin) is now the head of an international relief organization; and Syd has yet to meet Vaughn's new wife, Lauren (Melissa George). The main thrust of the season revolves around a new CIA threat, the Covenant -- for which Sark (David Anders) is now working -- and Syd's effort to trace her missing years. She learns the truth from a surprising source in "Full Disclosure." Also, the quest for the Rambaldi artifact takes an odd turn in the season's three episodes -- "Blood Ties," "Legacy," and "Resurrection" -- wherein Syd discovers that a sister she never knew, Nadia (Mia Maestro), may have the clues to unraveling its meaning. Syd also has to contend with Lauren, who at season's end is revealed to be a mole. Guest stars such as David Cronenberg, Quentin Tarantino, Djimon Hounsou, Isabella Rossellini, Vivica A. Fox, and The Office star Ricky Gervais all lend their talents to Alias's third season.
