Alias Day... I'm depressed

The sand in the hour glass is getting rather low and the void in my heart is getting rather large. Today is Alias Day, but it doesn't feel like it. I got dressed this morning as if attending a funeral, all black and somber. "Here lies Alias...ashes to ashes and dust to dust..."

Alias Day-I am usually tickled with delight- looking forward to an evening with friends, eating good food and sitting down to decipher our favorite show. But today, I am depressed. I have no notes, no ideas, I am hating Kelly Peyton more than I should and part of me actually wants to curl up in bed with season 3 and listen to Sydney lecture Vaughn on faith. I love that when Syd is nervous and scared she puts her hand on her forehead. I love that Vaughn's favorite word is insane, "I don't like it when people question my loyalty, it makes me insane." I really love when Jack gets mad at Marshall and how Marshall always makes a joke out of it. I've never been to Prague or Zurich, but I love them just the same. I don't particularly like guns or bombs, but I love disarming them. I don't understand stand half of the Rambaldi ideology, but it's fascinating, so I play along. I think Dixon is cold, but when he smiles at Syd he makes up for it. They are characters on a television show- lives created from pen and paper, from the mind of a genius to merely entertain us for an hour a week. Their lives are far from normal, their priorities far from doing the dishes, playing the bills or folding the laundry. They have agendas, they know secrets and they save the world. We love them and they are almost gone.

This is where I am suppose to give you pointers on watching tonight's episode- GAWD this is sad-

1.Watch for Sloane's encounters with "Ana." I am thinking he may see that those are Syd's eyes.
2. Where in the world is Julian Sark? I don't think it will be hard for most of you to keep your eye on little Sarky! This boy must be bringing something to the table, but what?
3. "Mom?" I have a feeling SpyMom might be back, though she's not listed as a guest star. They surprised us last time, so...
4. Saving Grace: What is Tom up to? Who is he talking to and who in the sam hell is the Cardinal?

Are you all just sick with sadness now? Have I brought the mood down enough? Are you wallowing yet? Let me know...

Shoot - you all are making me sad... It's such a bummer - my BF is laughing at me (nicely) that I am so sad about a TV show ending... but in a way he understands as his favorite geek show was cancelled a few years back (Babylon 5)... I started watching Season 1 this weekend just so I knew I could get a fix at the very least!

Hang in there everyone - we DO have 2 more action packed episodes left - and I'm hoping they will be killer episodes that we can all discuss in hundreds of comments over the next week or so, and for many weeks to come hopefully!

We have to stop this....I am useless today. I'm so depressed. I hadnt thought about the fact that this is the last Wednesday I will Ever be excited that ALIAS is on! I Loved your Summary Girlscout! It was my sentiments exactly!!! I pray that the end will be something that we are all happy with. I dont want ot be sad that we lost ALIAS topped off with being sad about the conclusion of the show.

Bummer. With these reports of JG on Regis & Kelly saying what she said about the finale... Bummer. I should lower my expectations a bit. I always have too high hopes for TV shows, especially finales. And doubly especially SERIES finales. Well, nothing we can do not but wait and see. Until tonight....

I'm sorry everyone's so down today, wish I could say something to pick you guys up. :-\ As for me, my boss is supposed to be here in about a half hour and I get to drop my two-weeks-notice-bomb on him that I think he has no idea is coming, so honestly that's what's been on my mind all freakin day. And it's making me feel a bit nauseous cuz I'm so nervous. Once I get this overwith I'm sure I'll join the depressed ranks w/ you guys...

SRM said...

thanks jenn, it's both actually. I've been unhappy at my current job and searching for another one since October. I finally found one and accepted the offer last Friday, so I'm very excited about that, just nervous about telling my current boss. I just need to get it overwith (once he gets here), then go to the gym after work and sweat out some of the stress, go home and relax w/ my fav shows.

Unknown said...

Jenn-- Yeah, I'm curious as to what exactly she said this morning. So you can lay some quotes on me! :)

And good luck SRG!

Sarafu said...

Good Luck SRG, You'll do fine and once its done, its done!! YAY!! I love the feeling of change when you know your moving on to something better! Congrats!!!
I am so glad that you guys are all here so that we can wallow in our saddness together as well as encourage each other!

Friends, I think Birdie has the right idea. We have been building this up for so long, and charging ourselves up so heavily, it may not even be possible for any set of writers on any level to completely satisfy every last nuance, desire, and curiosity we might have. Maybe if we lower our expectations just a bit, we may be happily surprised by the outcome.

Believe me, I'm with you all emotionally regarding the show. There are few enough things in this world that bring me the same amount of joy as does ALIAS. Now, it too must pass. (There is a lesson here to be learned about putting too much importance on the temporary pleasures of this world, but who has a heart to give it?)

Its hard to let go of friends, and the characters have been ours for a very long time. Nevertheless, we must carry on. Take comfort in this: there is always the DVD's.

There is one good thing about today. I get to Starbucks Mom and Syd the Super SpyBaby this evening! I haven't seen them since March! YAHOO! I love watching the eppies with Starbucks Mom, she always catches the good stuff. It's so cool that we started watching together, then spent so much time apart and now we get to end it together. Full circle, just like everything else in life and on Alias.

For those who didn't see the spoiler pics, Ihaa, you may want to delete the last part of your last comment on the previous post. Just a suggestion...

One more quick thing-- Anyone else see Oprah today? Queen Rania of Jordan was on and she somewhat looks like Mia Maestro. Even her accent is similar.

Don't be too sad. We can't change it, so let's not let the fact that we're at the end spoil our enjoyment. At least, let it be bittersweet...and try to emphasize the sweet!

Some other questions in addition to GS's:
1. How long will Syd be able to fool Peyton, Sloane & Sark into thinking she's Sydspinosa?
2. How long will Vaughn remain under the radar? APO knows he alive, but how long before everyone involved knows it? Is there still a mole at APO w/out Sloane?
3. Does Irina know that Syd is "dead." Does she know that Nadia is dead. How will that effect her relationship w/Sloane? Will it influence her loyalties, her motivations, her actions?

thanks for your support everyone, it went fine telling the boss I'm leaving thankfully. Now I can wallow with all you guys in our Alias sorrow *sniff*...

Sloane couldn't have saved Emily from cancer by doubling her because it wouldn't have been Emily. It would have been someone else made to look exactly like Emily with the same mannerisms, voice, etc. But it's still a different person. Evil Francie was never Francie - she was always Alison who looked like Francie. Same with Sydspinosa. She looked just like Syd, but she was still Ana.

Oh, I get what you're saying. I don't know, but it's an interesting thought. There are lots of things that you could change if that's the case - like what if you couldn't have children, if you were doubled as someone else who could would you be able to get pregnant? What about if you had lost a leg or an eye or something. I can't imagine that would work. It would be more likely you wouldn't be a candidate for doubling if you were missing parts that the person you were supposed to be a double of had. But then again, we're talking Alias here...

LETA MANCARE said...

Going through divorce with the partner you love is like been in hell, my husband filed for a divorce without giving me reasons. I was totally down for I had no idea of what was happening and I tried to confront him to know what led to such action but he didn't give me listening ears.. I tried getting to know what happened through his family members but that didn't work either and this time was going mad about everything till I searched for help online and I came across Lord Zakuza contact number +1 (740) 573 9483 and I messaged him to let him know what I was going through and Lord Zakuza encouraged and promised to help me with his powerful spell and within 48 hours after contacting Lord Zakuza and followed all his instructions, my attorney called me to get me informed that the divorce case has been cancelled and after 30 minutes, I got a call from my husband pleading and begging for forgiveness and right now we are back together with so much love and care.
