"There is a storyline that begins in this episode that allows people
who have never seen the show before to understand it, because there
is a fundamental shift in the premise of the show," teases exectutive
producer/creator JJ Abrams. "Sydney (series star Jennifer Garner) has
been working from the beginning to bring down SD-6 and the Alliance,
and in many ways she succeeds. There is a great James Bond kind of
opening that is sexy and exciting and fun. And the ending is by far-
for regular viewers or not- the most shocking ending of an episode of
TV that you'll ever see."
But there's still time for romance. "Sydney and Vaughn have had this
simmering, under-the-surface love story that has been playing since
the beginning," notes Abrams. "It finally reaches the surface and
becomes the text of the show, not just the subtext. As romantic as it
is, there are so many obstacles between them, and this episode is
about them defeating the obstacles that keep them apart."
Alias will air after the Super Bowl, at approximately 10:15 p.m. EST
on ABC. Its regular time slot is Sundays at 9 p.m.
