Athena March 28, 2014 Share March 28, 2014 The Small Talk topic is for: Introductions Off-topic chatter Having virtual tea with forum buddies This is NOT a topic for actual show discussion. When you want to talk about the show: Figure out the nature of the topic you want to talk about Look for an existing topic that matches or fits If there is NOT an existing topic that fits, CREATE ONE! Examples of topics that populate show forums include (but by no means are limited to): Character topics Episode topics Season topics Spoiler topics Speculation topics In the Media topics Favourite X topics ...you get the idea Happy trails beyond Small Talk! 1 Link to comment
David T. Cole March 28, 2014 Share March 28, 2014 I converted the show request into the Small Talk thread for the show. Please feel free to start threads for characters, episodes, etc.! If you (collectively) would like to change the name of the Small Talk thread jokey bit just figure it out amongst yourselves and then email david@previously.tv and he'll change it. Link to comment
HighQueenEB March 31, 2014 Share March 31, 2014 Another TWOP refugee, who discovered TWOP because of Alias. It is the only show, to this date, that I own every single season on DVD. First two seasons were amazing, parts of the other seasons were good, maybe great, could have been better. And, like most diehard Alias fans, especially from the old days at TWOP, I've never been able to watch the series finale again since it aired. Maybe in another year or so, on the 10-year anniversary, I'll bring myself to the point where I might, just might be okay with watching it again. But, probably only if I do not marathon my way through the entire series beforehand. Then, I'll just rage and rage at what a travesty the series finale was. Link to comment
Brit Babe April 1, 2014 Share April 1, 2014 I feel a little sorry for people who have to watch on Netflix, as most of the original soundtrack has been lost. Link to comment
Carrie Ann April 1, 2014 Share April 1, 2014 (edited) Yeah, I only realized that when I got to the Syd/Vaughn sex scene in S2, and it was missing God Put a Smile Upon Your Face. It was a scene my college roommates and I watched...a few times, so I was waiting for the drums to start when Syd's cooking, and instead it was this gooey New Age la-la-la crap. Boooooooooo. That's when I pulled out the DVDs and insisted my husband watch it that way instead. Edited April 1, 2014 by Carrie Ann 1 Link to comment
Zalyn April 1, 2014 Share April 1, 2014 Hi! This still is top of my list for "Most Cracklicious Show." I can't believe how much I binge-watched this several years ago on DVD. I just could not stop watching because of the dang cliff-hangers. I haven't gotten around to a rewatch yet; maybe when seasons wrap up in May I'll try. Link to comment
Boundary April 5, 2014 Share April 5, 2014 Hi! This still is top of my list for "Most Cracklicious Show." I can't believe how much I binge-watched this several years ago on DVD. I just could not stop watching because of the dang cliff-hangers. I haven't gotten around to a rewatch yet; maybe when seasons wrap up in May I'll try. Yeah I think I might do a rewatch this summer as well. Last year I watched about 5 or 6 episodes towards the end of S1 and I found myself speculating again. Unbelievable how much "new" information you get when you watch, say, S1 thinking about how much Irina knows and what they're influencing and what they're not. Link to comment
Lisin April 6, 2014 Share April 6, 2014 Hey guys, I've moved some posts into the General Discussion topic, lets keep the Small Talk topic to more social chit chat type things as listed in the pinned post. Thanks! Link to comment
Robert October 9, 2014 Share October 9, 2014 I have just started to watch this show after borrowing my housemates DVDS. *waves* I am now hungry for snarking. Can anybody recommend some good snarky reviews of it? I tried looking at TWoP, but unfortunately doesn't like to come up even in an archived format anymore :( I know finding recent discussion on a 13 year old series is going to be slim chances, but I live in hope! (I'm current a few episodes into season 2 for those interested) Link to comment
JES004 October 10, 2014 Share October 10, 2014 Sadly, Robert, everything is pretty much gone. SD-1 is unaccessible (which is sad because I had a story on there that I'd like to retrieve since I don't have a copy of it anywhere after my hard drive crashed - yes, I know, I should have had a back up.) TWoP was probably the last of the old commentary left. 2 Link to comment
supposebly October 10, 2014 Share October 10, 2014 That sucks. I tried again and you can get to the recaps but only to the first pages. I thought they would keep them up? Bastards! Alias was the show that made me a TWOPer! Link to comment
HighQueenEB October 10, 2014 Share October 10, 2014 Try the wayback archive to see if TWOP's reviews are accessible there. Regina's recaps were to DIE for. Link to comment
Robert October 12, 2014 Share October 12, 2014 I've dug out a few reviews on the WayBack machine (and their good) but sadly the WayBack website can be hit and miss, especially with the later pages of reviews. I'd love to also read the various threads for the episodes as well and people's opinions at the time. 1 Link to comment
JES004 October 12, 2014 Share October 12, 2014 I prefer reading the threads, myself. People often caught things that I didn't, and provided lively discussion of each episode. I remember how I couldn't wait for each episode to air, and would often construct family or work trips so they wouldn't interfere with the show. It's the only tv show I ever did that with. I miss those days. 3 Link to comment
Caia October 13, 2014 Share October 13, 2014 The A.V. Club did recaps of the first two seasons a couple of years ago. http://www.avclub.com/tv/alias/ Link to comment
Boundary December 10, 2014 Share December 10, 2014 Stupid reason for reviving a dormant thread but wouldn't it be strange to see the Bad Robot animation at the beginning of probably the biggest movie of recent times next year? I remember that little red thing with yellow eyes prancing onto my tv screen at the end of an Alias episode shouting "Bad Robot". Hasn't he done well, even though he's too cool these days and become mute? 1 Link to comment
scowl December 12, 2014 Share December 12, 2014 Regina's recaps regularly made me laugh so hard on the train that people thought I was on drugs. 1 Link to comment

JES004 January 5, 2015 Share January 5, 2015 SD-1 works fine for me, you just have to log in. I've tried. I don't know why my password doesn't work. It keeps telling me I'm locked out, and I can access it again in -947437 minutes, which appears to be 655 days. Unless the '-' is actually a '-', but then, I still can't sign in. Link to comment

Boundary January 18, 2015 Share January 18, 2015 Why wasn't I invited to the Alias reunion?!! I think it's awesome Spy Daddy and Syd are still in touch with "their creator". Oh, and JJ was the designated driver, how sweet. 1 Link to comment
hope4all April 2, 2015 Share April 2, 2015 Just wanted to verify, that the TWOP recaps are indeed dead or unable to be read? Thank you in advance for help. Link to comment
Athena April 2, 2015 Author Share April 2, 2015 Just wanted to verify, that the TWOP recaps are indeed dead or unable to be read? Thank you in advance for help. The TWOP recaps are still available and can be read. I do find that it's harder to navigate the site. Some links are dead so you may have to play with the URLs a bit since the site is no longer being maintained. Link to comment
