## Description

Alias was a show that constantly reinvented itself. And its fifth and final season was no exception, as the creative team behind the espionage show worked to pull together the labyrinthine plot elements that had existed over the years, as well as tailor the show around the pregnancy of star Jennifer Garner. The results were somewhat tinged with melancholy as everything was wrapped up, but also had a maturity and respect for its characters--which is not to say that Alias lacked in action. In fact, the season started out with a literal bang, as a truck slammed into the car carrying Sydney Bristow (Garner) and her co-worker and lover Michael Vaughn (Michael Vartan), right after Vaughn had made a mind-blowing revelation to Sydney. What followed was a mind-trippingly enticing blend of fake identities, false fronts, blind alleys, and new characters with dubious intentions, with the importance of the enigmatic Rambaldi device hanging over it all. Just another day at the office for Alias , you say? Not this time--for long-time fans of the shows, the true natures of all characters would finally be revealed, and Sydney would at long last discover the powers of the dreaded Rambaldi device, as well as who was behind the machinations to obtain it for world domination. What Alias did best was mix its outlandish plotlines with accessible characters who were more than just pieces on an espionage game board. The final season did have a few false starts, as it juggled the departure (and reappearance) of established characters and the introduction of new ones, but by the time it had reached its 100th episode, "There's Only One Sydney Bristow," battle lines were drawn as the core characters hurtled toward the show's conclusion. Not to be too cryptic, but the less you know the better, as part of the fun is puzzling out who's doing what to whom; suffice it to say that the ever-capable Garner, along with Victor Garber and Ron Rifkin as the dueling father figures in her life, laid a groundwork of personal drama that held the show together amidst all the shootouts, tech gadgets and costume changes. While (literally) everyone from Sydney's past made an appearance in the show's 100th episode (including an outstanding turn by Bradley Cooper as Syd's erstwhile friend Will), there were a couple great additions too: Rachel Nichols made a fetching Syd-in-training while Amy Acker, who played the daffy good-girl Fred on Angel , was a menacing and captivating adversary. We will answer one question for die-hard Alias fans: Yes, Lena Olin does return as the lethal Irina Derevko. Sorry, we're sworn from saying anything more. --Mark Englehart From the mind of J.J. Abrams comes the fifth season of the explosive hit series ALIAS. Jennifer Garner returns as secret agent Sydney Bristow to settle the score once and for all. Experience all the stunning action of the show's final year as Sydney discovers that she is pregnant with Agent Vaughn's baby and tragedy strikes before he can reveal more about his secret past. From the mind-blowing opening episode through each twist and turn join Sydney as she completes the journey she set out on five years ago. This sensational set contains every heart-stopping episode of season five plus hours of bonus material you can't see anywhere else.

Review: An uneven, but great end to an incredible series. - I've read a lot of rumors regarding Alias' fifth and final season. I've read that Michael Vartan was only present in a few episodes due his breakup with series star Jennifer Garner. I've read that the season's episode order was cut from 22 to 17 because of Garner's pregnancy. Whether those rumors are true or not, who can say? Do Vartan's notable absence and the shortened episode order impact the series: yes and no. I'll start with the yes. From day one, Michael Vartan's character, Agent Michael Vaughn, has been instrumental in Sydney Bristow's life, initially as her CIA handler coordinating her double-agent status then as a romantic interest. His absence gives the impression that the writers and producers were trying to fill a void with the addition of new characters. If Alias had survived for a sixth season, this might not have been the case. As for the shortened episode order ... some shows may be able to have just as much of an impact with just five of its season's episodes cut. Alias is not one of those shows. While the finale was satisfying and riveting, it was simply unable to address a lot of the unanswered questions from previous seasons. You can tell they tried to wrap up as much as possible, but also knew that trying to cram in too much would have made it feel more fake. Personally I feel a sixth season should have been produced. Even if that meant airing it from January to May without interruption, the wait would have been worth it just to have a full final season that truly answered everything. Despite what I've mentioned, the fifth and final season is still worth watching and have many standout episodes. Of the new characters ... some worked, some did not. Renee Rienne (Elodie Bouchez) worked well, as did the character of Tom Grace (played by Balthazar Getty). Rachel Nichols as Rachel Gibson does not work; her character is interesting enough, but Nichols did not make me care much for the character. Also, her chemistry with Balthazar Getty was not as strong as it should have been. I love Amy Acker ("Fred," from the Joss Whedon series Angel) as terrorist Kelly Peyton and wish she had received more screen time. In addition to Michael Vartan appearing in five of the season's seventeen episodes and having a cameo in another, Lena Olin returns as the deliciously insidious Irina Derevko for two full episodes and has a cameo in another. Bradley Cooper (Will Tippin), Gina Torres (Anna Espinosa) and Merrin Dungey (Francie Calfo) each make an appearance as the series nears its home stretch. As for the product itself, it arrived in excellent condition and the shipping was actually a day ahead of schedule.
Review: Series finale time! - Judging from the prior seasons, and from having seen the final epiode, I'm quite certain this season will be up to any/all expectations (I'll eventually add more once I've watched all the episodes). The show has always had top-notch production values and been highly reminiscent of La Femme Nikita. In the spy-thriller genre, Alias is second only to its LFN progenitor, but a step above (in my opinion) 24 in terms of overall story arc. The DVD releases have always been impressive: good video quality, good audio quality (granted I'm not a sound/video snob, and I don't have a 30" plasma TV yet). The discs always have sufficient bonus materials from deleted scenes to commentary tracks, and blooper reels. I expect this release will be no different. I will note however that they have changed the packaging format (just like LFN did on their fifth/final season; speaking of which is it coincidence that both series ended on a shortened fifth season and made large attempts to tie up all the "loose ends" of the series?). However, I'm not as thrilled with the changes to Alias' packaging as I was with the changes to LFN. Whereas LFN change from an attractive book format to a more standard double-thin pack format, Alias appears to have changed to a double-stacked fold-out configuration, that I frankly dislike in no uncertain terms. IE, to get to disc 2, you have to take out disc 1 then take out disc 2 then put disc 1 back into the fold-out case. I really wish that studios would stop doing that to customers (I vaguely recall they did that with one or two of the last Highlander seasons too, much to the dismay of fans). I'd have preferred that they simply used two double-disc thin packs like LFN did. I much prefer those to double-stacked fold-outs. That aside, the rest of the packaging is pretty standard, down to the outer plastic slip case with the special fetures printed on the back, and Jennifer Garner printed on the front. Though for those who tend to throw out the outer plastic, it would be NICE, if they'd print the special features on the back of the fold-out packaging rather than the outer plastic. C'est la vie. I look forward to catchign the last season in DVD re-run. I'm sure it will be spectacular, one way or the other. And I know the ending is appropriate.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This Is A Spy Story That Will Not Age.
*by D***E on January 11, 2026*

My interest started with a couple of episodes on TV. It was so compelling I bought the entire series and watched every scene until the conclusion. Jennifer Garner is well placed as the lead in this enthralling spy series. I loved it and am sure you will.
