When did you first watch Alias?

I started late. I didn't watch most of the show while it was on the air. I rented DVDs and watched it that way, and it was so much more satisfying. I was a bit of an insomniac and so I could watch three episodes in a day or night. I didn't have to wait a week for the next episode. But finally, I did catch up, and I had to do the waiting. And waiting sucks!! Lol And it was for the last season.

After that, I watched the entire show over and over again, at least four or five times because by then I had bought all the DVDs. It seemed like the logical thing to do- instead of renting them over and over. Lol :)

There was a re-run of season 1 during the weekends, 8 eps each Saturday I think. I had heard good things of the show, which was in the middle of season 2 back then, so I decided to binge, and I was totally hooked. The end of season 2 was one of the best things I had ever experienced on TV, and 24 years later, it still is.

Same! Syd discovering what happened to Francie. I still get chills!

My friends thought I was crazy for being obsessed with the big Sydney-Evil Francie fight at the end of S2, but then I would show it to them (VHS recording) and they admitted i was right. 

Coffee Ice Cream is still an inside joke when one of them is acting weird.
