Product Description
Sydney bristow is an international spy recruited out of college and trained for espionage and self-defense. Studio: Buena Vista Home Video Release Date: 12/26/2008 Starring: Jennifer Garner
Amazon.com
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 of. 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

A Third Season Of Enjoyment With Sydney Bristow October 31, 2008
Rich (CA)
If you've seen the second season finale than you remember the finale when Sydney is attacked by an assassin who was an exact double of her friend the assassin killed and after Sydney's fight she's knocked unconscious and later wakes up missing two years of her life. The season starts off with Sydney trying to get back into her life while seeing what has happen in the two years the biggest being her love Vaughn who thought she was dead has married another woman. The season has of course the normal villains we saw in the first and second season one of them mainly being Stark and a rather ambiguous Sloane who seems to be playing the middle seeming to be a friend to Sydney but still doing his own personal agendas. We also have a new double agent the wife of Vaughn Lauren who's actually an agent for the secret group the "Covenant". The episodes are again entertaining and exciting with their usual action scenes in them. This series has really grown on me and if you are a fan of the spy shows or movies like Mission Impossible or The Bourne Identity you'll really enjoy these season sets. I see the complete seasons box set has gone down in price but I do advise for new comers if their unsure about the series to just buy them one season set at a time and see if they want to continue their collection then.
 Steady Downfall, Good Interest. July 28, 2008
Hannah Lane (Georgia, USA)
There seems to be nothing more terrifying to Sydney Bristow than waking up two years after she closed her eyes to find her world upside down: her squeeze married to another, a mysterious scar on her lower stomach, and two years of her life as material as a fairytale. As the season two closer, Bristow (played by Jennifer Garner) has woken up in a Hong Kong backdrop without any incilination of what has happened with her life.
The first episode holds the typical first episode feel: what has happened, and how can we fix it. Sydney finds herself strangely alone in a world she once found solace in. But as the script takes a turn for the worse, after a single day of going back to the CIA, she delivers a powerhouse monologue to her past love, Vaughn. I'm not sure if Michael Vartan is still the actor he once was in previous seasons, or maybe personal effects of his real-life relationship with Garner have surfaced onto the silver screen.
As the season progresses, and Syndey finds herself deeply entangled in the web of what has happened with her life, after waking up "like it was just one night", she finds herself fighting foes just as desperate as she to recover her memory, dealing with the day-to-day of working with Vaughn and his NSC wife, Lauren (well played by Melissa George), and finding how the terrorist organization of the season is getting so close to her life and her work.
Episodes that keep the ALIAS promise and remind one of the past two amazing seasons: Episodes 2-7, which draw their power from the state both Sydney and the viewer is in, mass confusion; Episode 9, a beautifully shot episode full of twists, turns, amazing sets and effects as Sydney goes throw an attempt to regain her memory by hypnosis; and Episode 22, the finale that holds more excitement than most, answering questions and asking new ones.
As ALIAS progresses, the seasons get less memorable with hard scripts and forced emotions, but this season a lot of emotional sympathy
