The TV Queen
by M.J. Wilde
I was where for how long, and you did what?!
Jennifer Garner's hit series "Alias" has its third season premiere at 8 p.m. Sunday on KOAT-Channel 7.
And, baby, somebody's got some Ősplainin' to do.
When we last left Syd (Garner), our favorite spy had been shot by her roommate Francie's evil doppleganger and had awaken in an alleyway in Hong Kong - two years later and with no memory of how the heck she got there. To make matters worse, her love, Vaughn (scrumptious Michael Vartan) shows up to get her and announces that she's been off the radar for two years and presumed dead. Oh, and by the way, he gave up on finding her and got married.
Excuse me?!
She's more than a little miffed and confused.
Here are a couple of other goodies she doesn't know but is about to find out:
The evil Sloane (Ron Rifkin) has weaseled himself a formal pardon - yah! - and her father has been locked away on bogus charges.
She also finds her life in danger - no, really - when she learns her memories contain some info that certain members of the intelligence world would like to squeeze outta her.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Danger, national security, world secrets, possible death, Dad's suffering in jail.
But - Vaughn got married?! I mean, if I can't deal with it, just think how Syd feels.
Of course, it's just a show about a fictional character who can kick her leg up high enough to send Michael Jackson's nose sailing right up the middle for a three-pointer. (Remember, Jacko. It's righty tighty, lefty loosey.)
But Vaughn got . . . married?!
Expect this season to be as deliciously confusing as the last two.
Enjoy.
