Alias 10/27/02
Ummn... According to the abc.com site, this is supposed to be a new episode. There were new episode commercials on all week... But this seems a whole lot like a rerun of the first episode of the second season.
Did anyone hear anything about this being a rerun if the World Series went 7 games?
Or am I missing something?

Glad i'm not the only one! I thought my local affiliate had gone crazy or something! Why would they promote a "shocking" new episode then show a rerun?? Can I sue for false advertising?

Yet another reason to have TiVo. It told me Alias and The Practice would be repeats tonight. I checked ABC.com a few hours ago and received wrong information, but I've learned through experience that my TiVo is always more accurate than the web.

Maybe it's just me, but I'm thinking that ABC should have shown a disclaimer at the beginning of the episode saying that it was a "very special encore presentation of the season premiere", or something like that. Dissapointing b/c I really wanted to see the new episode, and I missed part of the baseball game while trying to figure out if this was a new episode or not.

They're not burning a new episode again the World Series.
BUT...the new episode, "The Indicator", has gone out to the affiliates, and it has been captured. It can be found if you're determined...

Yup, repeat here too. It sucks, for the World Series already ended in this time zone, and yet they chose to air the repeat. I can see how unfair it is for the other time zones, but jeez, how unfair of ABC to pull a last minute switch on us? Bastards.
So it looks like we'll have to wait a week. *sigh*

ABC can't very well not show a new episode in the Eastern time zones and then show a new episode on the west coast. Think, people, think!
Plus, nobody in TV land wants to go head-to-head with a 7th game of the World Series if they can help it.
Angel did, show a new episode but it's because it started so late in the season, a repeat might have really disrupted their schedule (in terms of lining up some quasi crossover with Buffy later in the season).

They COULD have aired it.
I like the fun conspiracy theory someone mentioned elsewhere tonight... Disney owns the CA Angels and didn't want to give their team ratings competition on ABC. Hehe...conspiracy theories kick ass.
Anyway, "The Indicator" was a pretty awesome episode with some decent action sequences and a couple of fairly massive plot points. I enjoyed it a lot.

WHEW! The gods have smiled upon thee....
I fell asleep after 4 1/2 innings of the World Series (good thing nobody scored after that) and was bummed when I woke up because I missed Alias.
I was all set to come into this thread and sulk, but I'm glad to hear it was a repeat.

The Practice was a repeat as well.
Kind of weird seeing repeats so early in the season.
Like last week's CSI was a repeat even though it's lead-in Survivor and leadout Without a Trace was new. What was up with that?
