Bell did that and kept Walter in the dark because Walter asked him to. Just like Sydney's memory wipe and request that Kendall not tell her about that and her time with the Covenant.uncle111https://www.blogger.com/profile/06648380991715575787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17309641.post-39824960744723042002010-05-28T12:15:31.054-07:002010-05-28T12:15:31.054-07:00Ah yes, Project Christmas.

But, I realized a different Alias element in the meantime. They had been experimented on children to find ones with certain natural abilities and trained them to enhance those abilities so that at some point in the future they could use them. The father of one of the main characters was head of the experimentation program. And, as Page pointed out, there is an old document showing old technology which also depicts the face of the child of the head of the experiment. And, as Sydney was the crowning achievement of Project Christmas Tree, Olivia was the crowning achievement of Walter and Bell's experiment.uncle111https://www.blogger.com/profile/06648380991715575787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17309641.post-42141445480641013962010-05-28T07:19:19.394-07:002010-05-28T07:19:19.394-07:00ILA4E, unfortunately, it sounds like it's not ...ILA4E, unfortunately, it sounds like it's not "Alias" that ABC wants, but something more like "Alias-Lite", with new faces, new writers, and no JJ. <br /><br />I still don't think ABC understands what they had in "Alias".<br /><br />The good news is that JJ and Grunberg may be able to follow this version should they choose to watch.Page48https://www.blogger.com/profile/09728079057077761364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17309641.post-83006557692355749162010-05-28T01:17:45.241-07:002010-05-28T01:17:45.241-07:00And you know, it's almost funny that they want...And you know, it's almost funny that they want <b>ALIAS</b> <i>now</i>.ILA4Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09999057316604311524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17309641.post-31886466427784488632010-05-28T01:08:54.108-07:002010-05-28T01:08:54.108-07:00Oh.

Even the writers are tied up on "Fringe", H50, and various other shows. <br /><br />What doesn't make sense from the articles I've read is that ABC is contemplating this move as a counter to losing "Lost", and yet it sounds like they want to remove the serial/mythology elements that made "Alias" so difficult for JJ to follow. So, how does that work as a substitute for "Lost", which was the absolute densest of serial/mythology? <br /><br />Sounds like ABC wants to take "Alias" and turn it into "Undercovers".Page48https://www.blogger.com/profile/09728079057077761364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17309641.post-58058317206807406172010-05-27T13:48:06.710-07:002010-05-27T13:48:06.710-07:00This is too good to be true.

It's rare to see a 2.5 hour finale for any show, but to have it follow a 2 hour special about the show gives you an idea of the kind of reverence that "Lost" was given. <br /><br />I always watched, almost always enjoyed, but never obsessed and letting go won't be nearly as hard as letting go of "Alias". <br /><br />The finale was loved by some, hated by others. It's always a struggle to find a pleasing way to end a popular series, as we well know.Page48https://www.blogger.com/profile/09728079057077761364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17309641.post-30295377752741617362010-05-24T19:17:06.633-07:002010-05-24T19:17:06.633-07:00A whole bunch of theories are being discussed on t...A whole bunch of theories are being discussed on the <a href="http://letsgetlost2.blogspot.com/2010/05/lost-finale-end.html" rel="nofollow">LGL blog</a>.SRMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01576968119404544145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17309641.post-85081229443185470882010-05-24T17:52:52.809-07:002010-05-24T17:52:52.809-07:00Any comments on the Lost finale?Any comments on the Lost finale?uncle111https://www.blogger.com/profile/06648380991715575787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17309641.post-82929280688161819922010-05-23T22:36:43.525-07:002010-05-23T22:36:43.525-07:00Page,
