Once upon a time, Christina was saddened by the state of her must-see TV schedule. The X-Files became too insipid to watch; The West Wing had lost its spark; Dark Angel had been brutally snuffed out; even brilliant Buffy was becoming dark and depressing. So Christina ventured out into the vast television wasteland to find another favorite show. Lo and behold, she discovered the premiere of a new show called ALIAS and was immediately hooked. It was exciting, intelligent, fun, shocking, fast-paced, twist-filled. Spies, international missions, double-agents, double-crosses, eeeevil masterminds, world domination, romance plus cool costumes and wigs--what more could you ask for? How about hot actors who can actually act? Why yes, Alias has them too. And the storylines just kept getting better and better.
The only problem was that relatively few other people seemed to be watching the show. It was puzzling because it's one of the most entertaining shows around. Oh, it's too complicated, they complained, I'll never understand it. Well, I say you should try anyway, beacause it's definitely worth the effort. Plus, the backstory is totally fun!
So check out these sites and watch ALIAS Sundays, 9/8c on ABC!
Spreading the Alias love ...

Some of my favorite Alias sites:
Go read Regina's Alias recaps at Television Without Pity (TWoP) right now! These review and describe each episode, and are frickin' hilarious due to her snarky commentary.
Talk about Alias in the TWoP forums! Or just lurk and see what others think.
Visit the official ABC Alias site ... or not, cause ABC employees are monkeys who are unable or unwilling to promote the show effectively.
A Beginner's Guide to Alias, written by TWoP fans, gives a good (and amusing) overview of the show and its mythology so far.
The Alias Episode Guide is also handy for reviewing certain eps.
Two Evil Monks: Alias gives you a visual recap of each episode by posting screencaps with dialogue captions. Also hilarious at times, because they like to joke around. There's character bios, video clips, news, and links too.
Television Without Pity ALIAS forum ads:
The fans of the TV show Alias at Television Without Pity are not only extremely dedicated but also extraordinarily creative. Here's the deal: for $100 a day, anyone can buy advertising space on the TWoP forums. Fans of different shows have taken this opportunity and turned it into a contest of sorts to see which fandom can produce the best ads for their shows. Of course, this also supports the TWoP site, which is always in need of cash. It also is intended to encourage new viewers to watch Alias to boost the show's admittedly unspectacular ratings. In my humble and totally unbiased opinion (ha!), the Alias ads have been among the best seen on the TWoP forums to date. Preserved here so others can see their beauty ... Mucho thanks to all the people who worked so hard to design the ads and create the website: the "Fab Four" (AKA LimberBimbo, DizzyMissLiz, alikona727 and pie), Aatrek, and RedRaiderMush. The fans love you!
