Alias

I'm a latecomer to "Alias." Even though it has everything I generally look for in my entertainment (gunfire, explosions, and martial arts), I could never get past my dislike of Jennifer Garner (for some reason she just annoys me). However, after I read all the chatter about how last season ended and the basic premise for this season, well, the intrigue of it was enough to pull me in. Since then, I've picked up the first season on DVD and intend to start watching it during the times my favorites shows are in reruns.

( Anyway, some observations as a new viewer, and I'm curious how they differ from those of long-time fans. )
