Editorial Review:
The third season of Alias found super spy Sydney Bristow (Jennifer Garner) waking up in Hong Kong with a monster hangover and two years in the future with nary a memory. What's worse, her world has been turned upside-down with the evil Sloane (Ron Rifkin) now a world-famous humanitarian and philanthropist, and, even worse, her true love Vaughn (Michael Vartan) married to a seemingly great gal. Nice way to go back to work, eh? After coming up with one heck of a cliffhanger in season 2, Alias proceeded a bit aimlessly through these 22 episodes, and as a result, the parts were truly greater than the whole. With Lena Olin no longer around as Syd's duplicitous mother, and the addition of admirable yet bland Melissa George as Vaughn's wife Lauren, Garner found herself for the first time without a compelling female foil to play off. By dividing its focus equally between the quest for the enigmatic Rambaldi device, Syd and Vaughn's now-contentious relationship, and the uncovering of Syd's missing years, Alias lost a little of its power without a larger story arc. The loss of regular cast members Merrin Dungey (Francie/Alison) and Bradley Cooper (Will)--both of whom do make great guest appearances--also divest the show of the personal life that kept Sydney human and approachable. Still, Garner is stellar as always, the plot twists come fast and furious, and secret identities are revealed. This season does have a great panorama of guest actors including Ricky Gervais, Justin Theroux, Djimon Hounsou, David Cronenberg, Quentin Tarantino, Vivica A. Fox, and Isabella Rossellini as Syd's long-lost aunt. --Mark Englehart, Amazon.com

Disappointing but still very good I agree with others that this series failed to live up to the previous 2 seasons, but it is still worth a look. While I found the Sark/Lauren relationship a little hard to believe, the ongoing Sloane saga leaves you wondering just what exactly the man is up to.
My biggest disappointment I confess is patriotic,while I'm unaware of how authentic the details are in relation to other countries, the Episode pertaining to Belfast was rather poorly researched, showing footage of Dublin rather than Belfast,... more info

Much better than expected I started watching alias out of curiosity, having learnt that it was written by the same guy that wrote Lost. Liked season 1, enjoyed season 2 and then read the reviews for season 3 and was in two minds whether or not to carry on. I'm glad I did. I have to agree with some of the other reviewers that it has been much maligned. I suppose it depends what you want out of the series. I fully expected to be disappointed with the abrupt end to Sydney and Vaughns romance but instead I found that this series... more info
ALIAS season 3 I am only on the third season so far and this is the best out of the 3 i have seen. It starts off a bit slow, but it builds up and doesnt slow down. I've seen 16 episodes in like 2 days, thats around work and school. It's so addicting! I am going to watch the remaiding 6 episodes tonight, hopefully J.J. has left another amazing cliffhanger.
