Hell with it. ABC, just release the last season on DVD with the unaired eps and be done. Go back to focusing on your real gems like Emily's Reasons Why Not.

I vote finish it however long it takes episode-wise and send it direct to DVD.

April 19 - episodes 5.10 AND 5.11
April 26 - episode 5.12
May 3 - episode 5.13
though of course, these dates can change later.

Thanks for the date. I hope that's true.

Rumor 1: Alias isn't getting a full season.
Verdict: True
Alias' original 22-episode order for this season was trimmed to 17. Nine have already aired. And according to the show's rep, ABC is planning to air eight more. However, as you know, ABC still hasn't set a return date, and given that uncertainty, I'm told the writers are concerned they might not get all eight episodes. So, they've worked out a plan B in case they need to end the storylines more quickly. (You may remember, JJ Abrams went through a somewhat similar experience with Felicity. He wrapped up the storylines and then found out he was getting five more episodes from the WB.) So, bottom line, the show will return. It's in production right now; however, we can't be 100 percent certain the show will receive all eight final episodes until its return date is announced.

Well, that sucks. Shows that are fairly new and always on the chopping block I'm sorta OK with being treated that way, but a show that's been around for several seasons should be given a firm episode order so it can be wrapped up properly.

I hope so too.
Alias Cut Short?
E! Online's "Watch With Kristin" column reported that ABC has cut the order for the last season of Alias to 17 episodes from 22. Citing an unnamed show representative, the column also reported that writers are worried that the network may cut the show's order further, depending on when the show eventually returns to the schedule.
ABC still hasn't scheduled Alias, which is supposed to wrap up its last season in the spring.
According to the column, the writers have come up with a plan to bring the Alias storylines to a conclusion within the allotted remaining episodes, even if they need to end the show more quickly than expected.
Alias has resumed production following star Jennifer Garner's maternity leave.

The countdown to the end of "Alias" can now officially begin.
ABC said Tuesday (Feb. 28) that the high-octane spy drama, which has been on hiatus to allow for star Jennifer Garner's maternity leave and to make room for "Dancing with the Stars," will begin its final run of episodes with a two-hour show at 8 p.m. ET Wednesday, April 19. That's a change from earlier in the season, when the show aired on Thursdays.
"Alias," which last aired in December, was originally scheduled to return in March, after "Dancing with the Stars" ended its season. As ABC rolled out its midesason schedule, though, the show was left hanging.
The later return date also likely means that the series will have fewer than 22 episodes for its final season. ABC does, however, promise that the final episodes will reveal the final stages of the Rambaldi prophecy and feature the return of Bradley Cooper as Will Tippin and Gina Torres as Anna Espinosa -- not to mention the reappearance of the presumed-dead Vaughn (Michael Vartan) and the birth of his and Sydney's (Garner) baby.
"Alias" will take the place of comedies "George Lopez" and "Freddie" on the Wednesday schedule; those shows will end their seasons a little early. "Invasion," which will get a four-week break for "The Evidence" starting March 22, will also return on April 19.

So they are running it before Lost??
"Alias" Switches Timeslots
TV networks love to keep their viewers scrambling lately. It seems as though if you aren't constantly checking some type of programming guide, you are probably going to miss something -- or a lot of things.
Take "Alias." Despite the fact that the show's nights are numbered, Broadcasting & Cable says that ABC is going to shift their schedule and run the remaining episodes on Wednesdays.
Instead of Thursdays, the show will now move to Wednesdays at 8:00 p.m. (EST) "Alias" returns to ABC on April 19 at 8:00 p.m.

Sweet, the only thing I am currently watching on Wednesday is "Lost".
