Jennifer Garners ill-fated movie career?

All the fault ofAlias.

That big red ball of liquid inStar Trek?Alias.Losts seat of the pants plotting?Aliasdid it first.

This post-Buffyspy romp lives on in DVD and download form, and is long overdue a bit of appreciation.

She gets in, she kicks ass, she gets out again.

Except, when she gets captured, in which case the ass-kicking is slightly delayed.

LikeLost, its difficult to predict.

Its never less than fun, though,channelling the best of the classicMission Impossibleat its apogee.

So brilliant was it during those early seasons, that it attracted the very highest wattage of guest star.

Christian Slater, Ethan Hawke, Roger Moore, Quentin Tarantino and even Ricky Gervais put in appearances.

No one is what they seem, everyones a double agent, blah, blah, fricking blah.

Fortunately, she was back in fighting form in time for the shows brilliantly conceived and superbly silly finale.

The cliffhanger ending will have you reaching immediately for the next boxset.

Its also one of the only episodes worth watching from the entire season.

IfLosthad finished half as well, wed be very happy geeks.
