Tonight I finished watching the second season of Alias. My sister and brother-in-law liked this show and I had heard good things about it. I watched the first season recently and now I was ready for the second season.

I started out not liking the season much. I was getting annoyed with all the stuff dealing with Sydney’s mother. How many times did they have to go to her because they needed information and had no other choice? Once I got past the first few episodes, I didn’t want to stop watching. A major milestone happened that I didn’t think would happen until much later in the series, but the show doesn’t feel old.

Don’t watch the previews for the second season that play at the beginning of the first disc. I think they gave too much away. I already have the discs, so they didn’t need to convince me to watch it. Since I read a lot of entertainment news so I hear about major events on TV shows that I don’t watch. I had already heard about the surprise revelation at the end of the season finale back when the show was still on TV even though I didn’t know exactly what point during the show’s five seasons it occurred. It seemed like a big event on the show and a surprising plot twist. However, I had completely forgotten about that until they mentioned it in the previews. It would have been a fresh surprise when I got to that part, but I was expecting it the whole time I was watching this season.

It was a great season and I’m looking forward to watching season three sometime soon. I almost picked it up when I returned season two to Blockbuster, but I decided to wait a little while.
