Editorial Review:
The mystery and excitement reach unimaginable heights in ALIAS' spectacular third season. Special Agent Sydney Bristow awakens to an all-new world of intrigue from the very first moment of episode one, and her life is turned upside down as the action accelerates through the season's final frame. All 22 episodes plus must-see special features are included in this 6 disc set.
Description of Alias - The Complete Third Season:
The third season of Alias found super spy Sydney Bristow (Jennifer Garner) waking up in Hong Kong with a monster hangover and two years in the future with nary a memory. What's worse, her world has been turned upside-down with the evil Sloane (Ron Rifkin) now a world-famous humanitarian and philanthropist, and, even worse, her true love Vaughn (Michael Vartan) married to a seemingly great gal. Nice way to go back to work, eh? After coming up with one heck of a cliffhanger in season 2, Alias proceeded a bit aimlessly through these 22 episodes, and as a result, the parts were truly greater than the whole. With Lena Olin no longer around as Syd's duplicitous mother, and the addition of admirable yet bland Melissa George as Vaughn's wife Lauren, Garner found herself for the first time without a compelling female foil to play off of. By dividing its focus equally between the quest for the enigmatic Rambaldi device, Syd and Vaughn's now-contentious relationship, and the uncovering of Syd's missing years, Alias lost a little of its power without a larger story arc. The loss of regular cast members Merrin Dungey (Francie/Alison) and Bradley Cooper (Will)--both of whom do make great guest appearances--also divest the show of the personal life that kept Sydney human and approachable. Still, Garner is stellar as always, the plot twists come fast and furious, and secret identities are revealed. This season does have a great panorama of guest actors including Ricky Gervais, Justin Theroux, Djimon Hounsou, David Cronenberg, Quentin Tarantino, Vivica A. Fox, and Isabella Rossellini as Syd's long-lost aunt. --Mark Englehart
Alias - The Complete Third Season Reviews:
Huge Alias Fan 
2009-12-10 - I love this series. I'm watching it for the 3rd time and finally decided to break down and buy the DVD's. This is a fun series to watch and you get so caught up in the characters and plots. I would recommend this for anyone that likes watching tv shows and action/adventure/romance stories.
DVD's
2009-10-05 - I wished I would have done this a long time ago really love doing business this way never had a bad experience! This is great!
It's not so bad after multiple viewings!
2009-09-12 - Of course when I first saw this season, I was so excited with the two years later plot. And then, it started getting weird. The explanation for why she lost her memories sucked. Lauren--terrible depiction of a bad guy (seriously? Just double the eyeliner and make her a whore and she's a bad guy?) But really, the idea was good in theory and can appreciate that some of the episodes were really good. Syd's speech to Vaughn at the end of the first episode (I think) was amazing! The acting is fantastic as always. I just say, give this season a chance. It kinda deserves it.
Season 3 Alias is Perfection!
2009-07-10 - No doubt, I would order from this seller again. Speedy service, excellent quality, no problems what-so-ever.
Very Dissatisfied 
2009-05-04 - I do not recommend purchasing from this seller. I waited 4 weeks for my DVD and it did not come. I tried to contact the seller via e-mail 2x's and they did not respond. I then had to contact Amazon to get the matter resolved. The seller then promptly returned by $$ without an explanation or apology.
