Both CTV and Global (the two commercial national networks) license shows from all the nets in The States, but can't necessarily air them at the same time. Though recently, they've been more linked -- I think there were riots in Buffalo or something.

erm, I meant WTF, and the CTV site is here. And what do we see but Jack and Sydney.

7pm Eastern? That is pretty early. I'm happy to watch it at 8pm Central, myself.

Oh, if I can indulge in some taunting, Sandra, "Alias" airs two hours earlier in Canada, so we get to watch it, go WFT? and think about possible twists before it even starts airing in The States.

There is a piece in this week's Eye about Alias and it centres about Spy Daddy. However, while, yes, there is an unwholesome relationship among the Bristows, what the article avoids is how the show portrays only evil mommys. Great Peggy Lipton (read with a Jamaican accent like Hermes), she did what what her daughter wouldn't do. As for how the series will wrap up this season, I don't even what to attempt a guess, because it will be wrong.

Phillip, I beg you to summarise season three:) Please. I m not one of those worried that I will lose interest. I don't mind knowing what has happened before I watch it in programs such as Alias. The actual acting out of what you may summarise is what I look forward to. I visit TV tome everyday to get updates on my shows. I know exactly what will happen at the end of the O.C and we are just like 7 episodes in:)

I should probably avoid summarizing Season Three to date until it's over then, eh?

Alias is a fantastic show. Sadly, season 3 is on a channel called Bravo here in the UK. It used to be on Sky one. There's nothing wrong with bravo other than you forget the channel actually exists and so you forget to watch Alias sunday nights. I used to watch it like Clockwork. Now, I have watched just about 3 episodes from the current season. I await the DVD. Will have to buy American as the British release won't come out till I am with child, I'm guessing.

I had a hard time watching the televised production of Annie because they cast Victor Garber as Daddy Warbucks. My kids kept wondering why I was laughing, but I was trying to imagine each line coming from Jack Bristow!

One of the things which has made me giggle uncontrollably while watching "Alias" is the notation recently in the paper that Victor Garber starred as Jesus in the film version of "Godspell", so whenever I see him as Jack Bristow, I just start giggling. And I think "Alias" exists in part to present "mommy issues" to balance the "daddy issues" in the Buffyverse.
