Amazon.co.uk 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

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 continues the story in an often touching and heart wrenching manner and I couldn't help but feel for Sydney. The action is as good as ever and the storylines deliver as before. Also you get much more of Mr Sark in this season which personally I quite like. Don't give up on Alias, this season is definitely worth watching.

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.

a brilliant run that tumbles in the box
A much maligned season that turned out to be far better than I expected. The story arc of the lost two years provided opening mystery, and then once the truth about that is revealed, a battle with some villains who you will love to hate comes to the fore.

The one thing this season has in abudance is narrative pace. It is always driving forward, waiting for the next thing to be discovered. And the last few episodes promise to build to a big satisfying conclusion.

That simply doesn't come.

The last episode leaves too much up in the air, and throws in new puzzles for no better reason than to muddy the waters even further. Compared to what came before it's a disappointment, but what came before is good enough to make this a 4/5 season on the whole

Oh My God
"Sydney...You've been missing for two years".
Argh. I don't wanna give anything away, this season was great. Every episode was like 'I had no idea that would happen','That's crazy','grrr! cliffhangers!'. This was one of the best and most thrilling seasons of Alias.I recommend this.

The plot is greaT. Sydney Bristow wakes up in Hong Kong and can't remember anything that's happened in the past two years and apparently she was missing.The rest of the season she puts the pieces of her missing years together and deals wit hthe fact tha Vaughn is now married to blonde british Lauren who has big secrets. Sark retuens and causes even more trouble this season.

Get it!
