Summary: Its Alias, it has to be great!!!!
Review: Alias is one of the greatest shows ever, and its third season is no exception. There is a lot of action and spies and all of those things, but the thing I like most is the characters. They are very well developed and well acted and it is extremely interesting to watch all of their complicated relationships play out. You can get extremely attached to all of them and their personalities (good and bad) are quite loveable.

The only two problems I have with this season are Sydney's lack of personal life and Lauren Reed. In the past two seasons Sydney has had Francie and Will as her innocent friends, and it was a lot more relatable when they had scenes of her and her friends just hanging out. Lauren Reed, known by many as the COW, or Contrived Odious Wife, is the only character on this show who I just hate. I don't love to hate her, I simply hate her. For the first half of the season when she was good I didn't like her but as she didn't get as much attention and screentime I could more or less deal with her. When she turned evil she started taking more and more screentime from my more beloved characters, and became incredibly annoying and tempted me to throw things at the TV whenever she came on.

However, she didn't keep me from enjoying the season. This is Alias, and Alias can't be bad, so I definitly recommend buying this DVD!!

Summary: Alias- Best Show EVER!
Review: Alias is the best show on TV. It has everything you could ever want in a TV show. Jennifer Garner is terrific, along with Michael Vartan, Victor Garber, and Ron Rifkin. The cast is excellent, and the story is amazing! I really recommend this exciting, adrenaline-filled TV show to everyone! Every minute of it is awesome!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Alias!!!
Review: Alias is the best TV show currently running on TV. First and Second season were great, and third is turing out just as good. During the third season Syd must learn what has happend to her in the past two years of her life, and cope that her lover Vaughn has been married.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Alias fan from day 1
Review: Alias is ultimately the best and most intriguing show on television. I, myself have been an Alias fan from the minute it began in 2001. It has been for the past three years the only show i cannot live without. Basically, i start preparing for Alias at least 3 days before. This include an increase of giddines and excitement. No show has ever done that for me. It is the perfect blend of drama, suspense, (a little comedy) and romance. Seasons 1 and 2 were the most riveting and amazing seasons of a television show ever.There were some problems with season 3 ..that somewhat disappointed me. And me being a hardcore alias nothing slips beneath my eye. NOTHING!!!However, seasoon 3 was still the best hour on television every week or (sometimes every 2 weeks )[thanks ABC ]
Some wrong things about Season 3:

1. In seasons 1 and 2, Sydney always had friends and a personal life (will and francie.) In season 3, her relationship with vaughn was no longer in existane and she didnt have her friends. Therefore, there really was a lack of relatable instances in season 3. I believe this definetely increased the chaos of the spy-world which made the show less believable and real. Hopefully, season 4 ..she'll make friends and have vaughn again.

2. Okay did anyone notice in season 3, the C.I.A workers were using different cellphones and my biggest pet peeve was that Sydney started calling Weiss-Eric and Vaughn---Michael..am i the only one this bothered. First of all the whole calling people by there last names was always very intriguing and just something different. I loved that!! hopefuly it comes back.

And all alias fans are pining the fact that we have to wait a looooong time for alias. I myself almost cried but realized that hopefully J.J Abrams(the genius) will be able to bring the show back to life and back to its old valor(which i know he can do)

I could stay here for days just talking about why alias is amazing and how good it is..however im going to go watch season 1 and 2 for the billionth time..

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: AWESOME!
Review: First of all I can't even imagine how the ratings aren't high when a DVD that doesn't come out for another 3 months has 29 reviews!

To tell the truth I'm a new fan of Alias. I had been a huge fan of FRIENDS for as long as I can remember, but since it was ending this year I needed a new show to fill the void! ALIAS did just that!

I had caught some episodes of season 2 the previous year but started watching season 3 without any knowledge of what was going on! Let me tell you DON'T ATTEMPT THAT! I guess in a way me being lost for most of the third season made me a BIGGER fan! I had to buy the 1st and 2nd seasons on DVD and read the books to figure out what was going on!

After doing all this I finally realized what was going on and let me tell you the 3rd season was AWESOME! I agree that the 2nd season was THE BEST, but the 3rd was pretty good!

My only complaints for the 3rd season are:

1. What happened to Sydney's personal life? One of my favorite things about the show was her attempt to have a semi-normal life! Sydney hanging out with her friends and her boyfriend! There was almost NONE of that in this season!

2. LAUREN REED! I don't think i've ever despised someone so much! I mean she made me throw things at the TV! She was sooo annoying! It also drove me nuts that Vaughn was so stupid to believe her! I mean I was yelling at him to OPEN HIS EYES! I usually am not the kind to hate people, but she could make ANYONE hate her!

3. I'm big fan SYDNEY & VAUGHN! I was really upset when they weren't together! I can only imagine that someone will come in the 4th season and split them up again! I can't stand when shows do that!

4. The cliffhanger! Everyone says that it wasn't as great as the previous two, and I agree! But truthfully I like it better that way! Especially since we have 8 months to wait from May to January 2005!

5. I could just die that Greg Grunberg (Weiss) won't be back for the 4th season! It's even sadder to think that his small role in the 3rd season will be the way he leaves! Marshall and Weiss (besides Sydney and Vaughn) are my favorites! To have a comic relief from them is something that I love about ALIAS! I can't imagine a full season without WIESS!

6. All the new characters! Lauren was just...there are no words for her! Katya was just a sad attempt to distract fans from the fact that Lena Olin (Irina) wasn't in this season! Not to mention Nadia (Mia Maestro)! I mean I don't hate her but she's not a character I could see myself really liking!

In the end you should definitly buy this season! The acting is SOOO GREAT! After seeing Jennifer in 13 Going On 30 playing SUCH a different role, makes me think she's an even BETTER actress to play such opposites! Her and Michael are so cute off screen and on!

Overall I thought it was an okay season! I mean ALIAS is still the best show out there! I'm going to buy it and give it 5 stars, just because it's...ALIAS(and Sydney and Vaughn got back together in the finale!)!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A "sub-par" season of Alias still beats any other show!
Review: First of all, a DVD that WON'T EVEN BE RELEASED for 3 months already has 22 reviews. Why this sign of Alias' nerdly loyal fan base doesn't translate into ratings, I'll never know. But, in a way, it makes the show even more special to us - our little secret. I just thank God that ABC and Touchstone, which produces the show, are both owned by Disney, probably the reason it's still on the air.

Secondly, J. J. Abrams and crew painted themselves into a corner by having the best season ever in Season 2, a hard act to follow. So, no, this season just didn't generate quite the excitement for me that the first two seasons did. And STILL, it's the best television around - the perfect blend of excitement, intrigue, camp, mystery, and emotional reality. I agree with one of the other reviewers here: I miss Sidney's personal life, and I missed it right away after a few episodes. My hope is that this returns in Season 4, of course with a twist that only the Alias creators can come up with. After seeing Ms. Garner in the movie "13 Going On 30," I would like to see Sidney smile more. The character deserves a little bit of happiness. As for complaints of how hard it is to follow the story - GET OVER IT . The complexity of the show is what we love about it. I've watched every first-run episode on TV, then re-watched them on DVD, and I still don't know what's going on most of the time - and it doesn't take away my enjoyment one bit. Don't dumb down Alias!!

Thirdly: To ABC - TREAT THIS SHOW WITH THE EXCITEMENT IT DESERVES!! As much as I'm gonna be missing me some Alias until January 2005, I do think ABC is making a smart move by postponing it until then so that the season's momentum won't be interrupted by several hiatuses (hiati?). But WHAT a PROPERTY ABC has on its hands - !!! Good Lord, this should be a top 10 show!

And finally: From one Charleston Mountaineer to another - Jennifer Garner, you simply rock. You do West Virginia proud! And do you have any idea what a gay male icon you have become - !?

BUY THIS DVD. WATCH THIS SHOW. OR BE SQUARE.

Summary: Alias Season 3
Review: Have you ever wondered what the world of espionage, high tech gadgets and the goings-on of the CIA is like, this should answer a few questions for you.

Alias the 3rd season was great, although it may not have been the most action filled year of the three, it was a building on Sydney's emotional aspects, as well as Vaughn's. I never missed an episode.It kept you on your toes, as well as on the edge of your seat.

Sydney is just a great role model, sure the clothes can be a bit scary, but the girl underneath is great, Jeniffer Garner, known as Sydney on Alias and in the movie Daredevil as kick-butt girl Elektra, also known for her lead role on the summer of 2004 hit 13 going on 30!

Alias had an awesome season, with a great cast, Ron Rifkin,Merrin Dungey,Michael Vartan,Greg Grunburg, Melissa George,Victor Garber, David Anders, CArl Lumbley, and Kevin Weisman. With plenty of great guest stars this season including: a return of Will, Bradley Cooper,as well as Mia Maestro,Isabella Rossellini, David Cronenberg and Quintin Tarentino.

In other words, what I'm saying is you have got to see these, they are great episodes.If you are waiting for the next season (season 4) in the states or just in the middle of season 3 in the UK, you have just gotta see this!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Better than both put together!
Review: Hi i recieved this item yesterday and have watched in total 3 episodes so far including "Nemesis", "Prelude", and the season beginning.
I find season 3 to have equal watching value as previous seasons 1 & 2.
In Season 3 we somehow lose three characters including Francie Calfo, Will Tippin, and Irina Derevko.
Inspite of this loss i still find the show to be entertaining and realistic.
I find sometimes the amount of dialogue used in shows like "Alias" takes over the program so overall i am quite pleased with this DVD Set.
Thanks.
Jason

Summary: Loosing steam, but still powerful
Review: I fear that too much of a good thing may become a bad thing. Or in the case of our Heroin, Sydney Brostow, her writters may be running out of ideas. But not to worry... it's still a heckuvalota fun! Makes me wonder what they will think of for the fourth season to keeps things fresh and lively. All good things must come to an end, and I think season three is the begining of the end.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Alias is the best!!!
Review: I have been watching Alias since it came out in 2001, and think that Season 3 is by FAR the best. It has alot of plot & action.
Alias Season 3 on DVD will definately be picked up by me September 7th!!!!!!!!!
