1. There's something to be said for Spooks' practical and direct approach January 23, 2012

   Recently I've been rewatching season 2 of Alias, and I also went back to watching Spooks, and watching both shows so close together really highlights the contrasts.

2. When bad shit happens to favorite characters July 21, 2011

   Okay, seriously why is it that my favorite characters always seem to die or suffer horrible fates? I mean, well, okay, not always, not every one of them, but very very often.

3. Late to the party: Fringe & Battlestar Galactica July 09, 2011

5. Spooks series 1 and 2, and "spy show tropes" December 12, 2010

   I'm a fan of the spy genre in general. Alias is one of my favorite tv shows, and in general find the shennanigans of espionage in pop culture to be a lot of fun…

6. Three scenes from Covert Affairs July 07, 2010

   Covert Affairs starts next Tuesday on USA, and I'm actually really excited because I love the spy genre, and also because I already like both Chris Gorham (loved him in Popular, never actually watched Ugly Betty, though) and Sendhil Ramamurthy (who deserved better than Heroes ever gave him, in my opinion). At any rate, three scenes from the pilot are up on the show's YouTube channel. :D

7. So, about Irina Derevko... June 30, 2010

   So the impromptu Alias marathon is going along way faster than I expected it to, and last night I watched the season 2 premiere, The Enemy Walks In. The enemy being, of course, one Irina Derevko. So this seems like a good time to pause and post about something I've been thinking about since I rewatched episode 11, The Confession, in which Sydney first learns the truth about her mother. And basically what I've been thinking is more than any single other element, more than even Sydney herself, it's Irina that truly defined Alias.
