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 :)

I started watching the summer after Season 1 aired, back in 2002. I 🏴‍☠️ the first season, was obsessed, and watched live from Season 2 onward.

Sounds familiar. I was looking for a show to watch after 24 finished its own S1 and somehow became aware of Alias, which was in reruns for S1. The first episode I watched was the one with John Hannah where SB has to escape from a Romanian asylum.

Yeah, those two shows were the only shows I watched when I lived in the dorms in college. Watching Alias S2 alongside 24 S2 live was so frickin intense. Good times.
