• Who Needs to Study When You Have Alias

    alias

    Not really knowing if she would get into it or not, I bought my girlfriend, Maria, the first season if Alias for Christmas.  A few of my friends from back in Ohio have gotten really into the show and every time I have gone home I have watched various episodes with them and got myself hooked.  So, I was hoping I could hook Maria and we could watch them together.  I also sent the first season to Maria’s sister Ingrid and her boyfriend Martin for Christmas hoping to get them hooked as well.  I don’t know about Ingrid and Martin yet, but Maria is way hooked.  We watched a dozed episodes in like a day and a half this weeked.  Told ya! It’s a really great show filled with suspense, surprises, and some great characters.  So, if nothing out there is quite doing it for you lately, do yourself a favor and checkout Alias.

    PS – Don’t forget that you might be able to borrow the seasons from your local pubic library or from friends.  It’s not like everyone needs to buy all the seasons, right?  Unless of course you are gonna watch them over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over – Sarah!

    Season one and two were great, and then it all goes downhill from there. The final season was awful, convoluted, and full of holes. But I guess that is what happens when the star decides to leave the show.

    All the seasons are great. Season five being my favorite (lots of twists and turns and surprises). I have tried many methods of watching Alias: iTunes, Library, Friends, Rentals, Purchasing… here are my findings:

    5. Renting the DVD’s: The worst because it can be expensive, and you have like three days to watch all of the episodes or else you feel like you’ve wasted the money. However, if you NEED Alias tonight, it can be a good option if you’re rich.

    4. iTunes: Alright, this is actually the worst. You buy it to watch the episode on your iPod (not suggested unless you take a train 45 minutes to work and can hold an ipod in front of your face for that long). The other option is sitting in front of your computer to watch an episode of Alias. Also not recommended for the comfort factor. Alias should be enjoyed on the couch, with subwoofer-esque bass, and a nice plate of fava beans.

    3. Library: Cheap, but sometimes unreliable and you have a time limit.

    2. Friends: First of all, you have to have some. Secondly, they need to own Alias (SL), and third, they need to like you enough to let you borrow them. If the following three conditions apply, then borrow them from your friends.

    1. The best way to watch Alias. Buying it used from eBay, Amazon, or Half.com. You can buy it for the current market price for the used season. Watch it at your leisure, and then sell it back when you are done for the (hopefully similar) current market price for the used season. You pay only shipping on one of the ways (the buyer pays it the other time), and you end up getting a season of Alias for around $3.*

    *Also works for LOST and The Office. Not recommended for Blossom or Full House.

    Ryan, you are simply the best (can you hear the music?). So far I bought the first season used, but plan to sell it, so there ya go. We are currently making our way through the 2nd season which we borrowed from a friend. Personally, I have the 2nd and 3rd seasons of The Office which I watch on my video ipod as I walk to and from work some days and I bought a connector for my macbook so I cn watch them on my tv. Man I love technology (and Alias… and The Office… and french fries)!
