Summary:
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.

Alias The Third Season	Customer Rating:
I was, and still am a big fan of the Alias shows. Thanks to the season sets, I now have the whole five seasons to enjoy whenever I wish. It would be great to see an Electra series started with this actress.

Worst Season of the Series, But Still Entertaining

Customer Rating:

The main problem with this season is that the main mysteries aren't more mysterious. The great mystery of where Sydney has been for two years is uncovered relatively quickly in terms of the show, and there isn't any great conclusion as to why the disappearance happened in the first place.

The next problem is that Vaughn's wife is played by a stiff who has no personality until the season is 75% over.

David Anders as Sark is this season's saving grace.

Recommended, but not as highly as seasons 1-2.

The beginning of the end...

Customer Rating:

After the first season of Alias, I was hooked. After the second season, I'd even call myself a fan. As a guy, it doesn't get much better than a sexy female special agent rooting out sinister terrorist elements worldwide. And Jennifer Garner really did something special by playing out multiple roles through the Sydney Bristow character, demonstrating a considerable range as an actress. If that wasn't enough, there was the fact that Alias boasted what so many similar shows did not - an actual storyline, and one with some depth.

Unfortunately, it was somewhere in the midst of Season 3 that everything took a nosedive. As if to keep the series running instead of bringing the plot to a satisfying conclusion, Season 3 saw the introduction of a completely unnecessary character in Lauren (nothing against Melissa George, however) - and a rehash of the same "secret organization bent on world domination" theme that was present in the first two seasons.

This season marks the tumultuous decline of the entire series, culminating, or rather flatlining, with the horrendous conclusion in Season 5. If you love Alias, then watch this season, but understand that this is where things start to go horribly wrong.

3rd season is my fave!	Customer Rating:
i don't know why so many alias fans hate one the 3rd season?! i love it! it's the first one i ordered! i know some fans were frustrated that sydney and vaughan aren't together. however, lauren's (vaughan's wife) true nature is revealed early on. that should give you the patience to know that a satisfying conclusion must be on the way!

I'm ADDICTED!	Customer Rating:
I am ADDICTED to ALIAS! This show is awsome. It keeps your intrest the whole epiosode! You need to own or watch all 5 seasons!
