That's a good point. Sydney living with Francie & Will and having interaction with them was a nice change of pace from the office. I heard a rumor about last season that Sydney and Weiss were going to share a place together (platonically!), and so that would've kinda kept up the whole "outside of the office" interaction thing going.

I agree that we need to see more of Sydney's personal life again. I like to see Will again. What exactly happened to him? He was working for CIA doing some research for Vaughn, right? But Francie is dead so they might need to find someone else to replace her.

Will is Jonah, a construction worker in Wisconsin.



I'd like it if they brought back Anna Espinoza for an episode or two.

I'd like to see them bring back anybody but her. That actress gives me the creeps for some reason.

They actually were shown living together in one episode early in season 3...but it was really brief, much like everything non-CIA related.

I honestly don't know that you can "fix" Alias anymore. It's taken such a departure that to righten it (by that I mean take it back to where it was S1) would require more suspension of disbelief than even Alias fans can muster.

Where the hell is all this talk about bringing Will back coming from? His character was annoying and added nothing to the show. Sure, it was nice having a friend of Sydney talking about different things every now and then. Surely Syd can get new friends and bring that back. Will as a character just plained sucked.

From Cinescape news. JJ Abrams will direct Mission Impossible 3.

Now, how does Abrams expect to "fix" Alias when he'll be off directing Tom Cruise?

Well, if Abrams has any influence over the production of the movie (I mean real, not puppet director), than at least MI3 will be good.

Refreshing honesty. The show is in disarray. I know some will disagree, but I feel like I felt during Season 6 of Buffy ... that the heart of the show's style and creativity was busy with another project and those charged with running it in his place couldn't duplicate it.
I feel much the same way. I see this as a trend. Producer/Creator/Writer becomes famous and spreads himself too thin while creating other stuff and ignoring his original creation.

They need to bring back Will.
I am all for this. He did the spy thing good last year with Sydney, why not bring him back? If they can keep bringing Evil Francie back then they can do this.
