2 Alias questions for fans of the show. . .
 
I've only been watching the show through DVD, & seen one episode from season 2 so I've got 2 questions I need anwers for. Help is appreciated.

1. Anyone know the name or # order of the amazing episode that aired after the Super Bowl last year.

2. Does the character of Will die or at least get taken off the show. I'm more than half way through Season 1 & I still cannot stand the character, actually it's the actor I hate the most, he brings the entire show down for me. I want the answer to be spoiled for me or I wouldn't ask it. But please use spoiler warnings for others.


Thanks everyone.

Will is a little annoying in the first season but they really develop his character a lot more in the 2nd and give him more to do.

The thing with Will is that in the first season he was sooo thick!. Like when he found the bug and kept on talking into it. He just opens his mouth without thinking and has no journlistic skills (plus he dumped that hottie!). I think he is alot better in the second season.

Yeah, that is what I find the most annoying about the character. But I can't stand the actor either, so I can't imagine them doing anything to the character that will get me to like him (apart from killing him). Glad to see that he is gone at some point.

Thanks for the help everyone. And what a brilliant show.

Didn't they say in the season finale of season 2
Spoiler:
that Will did survive the knifeing? So, I think he will make an apperience this season.

I think why everyone hated him in the first season was because he was working to expose Sydney (albeit unbeknownst to him). She kept telling him to drop it and he didn't listen and he had no idea he was endangering her.

The second season he was much better because he was no longer working against Sydney and he actually had a clue. I went from hating him in season one to loving him in season 2.

Spoiler:
It was stated in an episode this season that he is in protective custody somewhere.

isn't the entire Will hating kind of like how we are right now with Lauren?

Spoiler:
Didn't Will "survive" because some suit wanted it that way? It really looked like he was supposed to get killed off the show never to return. I wouldn't expect now that he's "alive" that we'd ever see him again.

In this week's TVGuide, Alias is the cover story.

If I remember correctly:
Spoiler:
Will is in protective custody as a construction worker in Wisconsin and will be making an appearance at some point in the near future.


They only give a short section of the article on their website, for the rest of the article: "pick up this week's issue of TVGuide" :rolleyes:

One thing I don't like about Alias now is how Sydney no longer has any normal friends or a normal life. I really liked in the first season,how she would go on some dangerous mission, and then come home and watch TV on the couch with Will & Francie. I kind of miss seeing her "normal" life juxtaposed with her "spy" life. Now she is all-spy all the time (with some crying jags in between).

She never did finish grad school, did she?

Static Cling 11-25-03 12:24 PM

Regarding Sydney's personal life, I thought I read that
Spoiler:
she and Weiss were going to be housemates... just platonic, nothing lovey-dovey. I thought they were leading into that one episode in which they were both getting drunk together at her new place
. Anyone else see that anywhere?

Spoiler:
IIRC, Will is supposed to show up in the episode coming up a week and a half after Thanksgiving.

Keep watching. He gets A LOT better.

I didn't care for Will in season 1 either, but he makes up for it in season 2, imo.
