This has got to be one of the most cliche shows I've ever seen. The plot has been done before and Alias makes a mockery of this once extraordinary plot. Jennifer Garner is a very blase actress. She speaks in a monotone and her acting techniques seem very forced. Not to mention the fact that she's too plain-looking to even be starring as a lead in any show. She belongs in character roles, or better yet off the acting stage completely. Her movements are very robotic, forced, and unprofessional. This was once an interesting and provocative plot, but has now been butchered and virtually destroyed by the Alias cast and crew. I wouldn't use these DVD's as a coaster!
