Okay, if you need a reason to watch "Alias", you've missed it. Clean off. David Cronenberg guest stars tonight.

This is just so funny, largely because it is the inverse of a typical Cronenberg movie. He plays a shrink who uses drugs ("and lots of hugs", well that's his assistant, but bet you'd never think comforting hugs and Cronenberg in the same phrase) to try and recover Sydney's memories.

This is his best role since "To Die For". And this has to be the funniest ep of "Alias" I've ever seen. And then, well, it does become a nightmare. But what did you expect?
