Wow.

Wow.

Alias?!

Alias?!

He harped on that a lot but I respectfully disagreed with Zach whereas Phil just rubs me the wrong way, no offense.

I disagreed with Zack's opinions often enough but I am really not enjoying the new guy. I never comment but just had to put that out there.

I think it'd be a disservice to the Classics column to not finish Alias. The final seasons may not be perfect but that makes exploring it even more interesting and necessary. One of my top 20 favorite series and I look forward to these each week. I'd really like this to continue

^^^^Thank you. Personally feel like they kind of recovered with 5. Series finale hit all the right notes more or less

While the retcon is obvious and jarring, not to mention how silly the double fake-out is once Olin agreed to come back, three things are important to note: 1. I'll take silly if it means more Lena 2. the CIA project plot was a slippery slope 3. no matter how much s4 dips after (weakest year imo), the first two eps are

Ryan the subway joint is not til s4, and why wouldn't we make it that far?

Nah. first and foremost, there is no *truly* awful season of Alias. Three shows the first cracks and four the levees break. But both seasons still have classic episodes. Season 5 was as decent a return to form as one could hope for tbh

Oh, well I mean that doesnt really mean anything, such is the life of the rewatch right

Wait wait wait, when was it made clear that flashback events of Return of the Joker took place BEFORE Justice League?? I mean obviously before Epilogue but still. For my money I don't think so simply because Batman would be perennially broody and fucked up over that right?

Judging from later eps like Legends, this season was aired out of sequence. I think this is supposed to come much later. One of my fave eps tho. I love openly bad Lex Luthor

Fear of God II is good as fuck

Fantastic finale, both series and recap. I'm going to miss these. Thanks for a great job Noel.

I feel like Noel's kind of rushing through these reviews these days. Don't get me wrong, they are extremely well-written. I'm just looking for more of a reaction to these HUGE moments. Maybe, based off what you said last week, it's because you're catching up, you've heard things, not so much urgency etc etc. Idk, that

Both season twos are aces imo

Are you guys ever going to do Batman Beyond?

Yea, that was the whole reason for her ascension. It was a long con so Cordelia could get body-jacked up there. But when she came down she had amnesia. Lorne's spell woke 'it' up and from "Apocalypse, Nowish" on that has not been Cordelia.
