"""I'm an admittedly big fan of """"
Alias,"""" so you'll probably have to take some of my
comments with a grain of salt.
Season Four, for the most part, is likeable and fun, suffering only in
comparison to the heights the
series reached in its first two years. Even though """"
Alias"""" creator J.J. Abrams seems to have run out of ideas regarding the
series, he's established the
characters and situations well-enough so that
series can continue on sheer
momentum for a while.
This
season, like every other
season, focuses on the adventures of a small group of
CIA agents who work together. Despite the opening credits' insistence on the importance of
series star Jennifer Garner, this
season is more a team effort than ever before. There's Sydney Bristow (Jennifer Garner), who's a multilinguist and a master of
disguise. There's her love interest Michael Vaughn (Michael Vartan), a decent straight-arrow of an agent troubled by his recent
past. There's her father Jack Bristow (Victor Garber), who is alternately
grim and emotionally unavailable, and her step-sister Nadia (Mia Maestro). They're led by the enigmatic Arvin Sloane (Ron Rifkin), a former
CIA agent who turned into both a terrorist and a criminal
mastermind similar to a James Bond villain and now claims to have been reformed. Sydney has a long
history with Sloane, as does the rest of her team. As if to prove that you don't have to be part of Sydney's inner
circle to work for the CIA, the remainder of the team (all in subordinate roles) include a geeky
comic relief computer genius named Marshall, a strong experienced backup agent named Dixon, and a formerly occassional guest
character promoted to
series regular named Weiss, who serves mainly as
comedy relief as well as Nadia's love interest. The cast is uniformly strong; as Nadia, Mia Maestro does the best she can with a
character that isn't all that well-developed."""
