have watch all five season and the only reason i do that be because i watch season 4 and 5 first so i have to watch the first three for closure . all i can say be that i be really impressed with season 4 and 5 i think they be really well make however the precede season be ill conceive and patronise to anyone with real sense . this be start to look more and more like a steven seagal flick ( only bad this be a series ) all the baddie be so generic they be either wait to have their ass kick or get hypnotize into give up intel by jennifer garner garner hot body i can not say i be really surprised since the creator be none other than j. j abrams the same man responsible for lose which like alias have a lot of potential but like it predecessor be bricking itself in by try to overstretch a concept . any way back to alias the thing i find most frustrating be 1 ) arvin sloane imply sense of evil and honestly for a man who be suppose to be so evil i expect gut wrench evidence of his villainy without this evidence i find it hard to detest this man and in fact i find myself draw to him and in most case root for him to do something to cement his credibility all end in disappointment . 2 ) sydney bristow if agent bristow be really the bleeding hard she be portray a why doesn not she have the heart to give sloane a second chance in spite of his transgression ( the mind boggles ) . the condescend forwardness with which sydney conduct herself be a miscalculated attempt to portray her an independent strong woman which backfire because we be all aware that such conduct wouldn not fly with any credible organisation let alone a government agency like the cia and please and 3 ) agent vaughn wooden acting and no doubt vaughn be a cute guy but his face seem incapable of render an emotionally rooted performance in conclusion i feel oblige to recommend to anyone who plan on catch this show on dvd or tivo dont or you cant but if you insist let someone who watch season season 1 3 tell you what happen then watch season 4 and 5 .
