ALIAS, Quinta y última temporada.

[romino]

El pasado mes de octubre dió inicio la quinta y última temporada de Alias.
Desde el final de la cuarta temporada de esta serie empezaba a sonar que se aproximaba ya su final. A esto sumenle el embarazo de Jeniifer Garner y yo creo que a los productores como que ya no les dieron ganas de batallar con este hecho.

Y ciertamente esta 5a temporada que ya va en su capítulo 9 ha sufrido para atraer espectadores como en sus temporadas anteriores. Incluso durante diciembre la transmitiran después de Lost para tratar de jalar más espectadores.

Adicionalmente la serie se suspenderá por dos meses por el embarazo (Febrero a Abril) para terminar definitivamente en el mes de Mayo. Como pueden ver la temporada tendrá poco menos de 20 capítulos.

A continuación la noticia de la decisión de terminar esta serie.

'Alias' Over in May

When listing the things they're thankful for on Thanksgiving, the cast and crew of "Alias" will probably skip "steady employment."
While it has been widely assumed that this season, the show's fifth, would be the ABC spy drama's last, the network made the official announcement on Wednesday that this May's finale will conclude the adventures of Sydney Bristow and friends.

"This news, and its timing, is a mixed-blessing," says Executive Producer Jeff Pinkner in a statement. "Though we're obviously very saddened to face the reality that 'Alias' is coming to an end, the lasting quality of every good story is determined by its conclusion -- this news gives us the freedom to end the series in the climactic way it deserves."

The original concept for "Alias" came to creator J.J. Abrams back when he was working on his college drama, "Felicity," for The WB. One year he brainstormed that wouldn't it "just rock" if the main character, a university student, was recruited by the CIA and then had to go off and save the world while keeping her college friends in the dark.
Even though he continued to call the premise "ludicrous," Abrams did think it had the potential to be a comic book or cartoon come to life on its own.

ABC agreed and the story of grad student/international Sydney Bristow -- whose life became even more complicated when the agency she worked for killed her fiance and she learned her father was also a secret agent -- was born.

Abrams and his team managed to rest the clock on the show a number of times, fearlessly scrapping storylines and setting the charcters' world on ear at the drop of a dime ... or for a coveted post-Super Bowl spot.

This season, with star Jennifer Garner slightly restrained from many physical stunts due to her real-life pregnancy, the show attempted to reinvent itself once again with the addition of Rachel Nichols and Balthazar Getty to the cast. And the network promises that the announcement of its demise is really more of an effort to give "Alias" the send-off it has earned.

"Right out of the box, 'Alias' attracted a cult following of fans that were completely invested in the show," says ABC Entertainment President Stephen McPherson. "'Alias' is not going to wind down as it comes to an end, it's going to rev up, and we're going to make it the event it deserves to be."

Como ven? triste pero cierto, en lo personal no solo me encantaba la premisa de la serie, el solo ver a Jennifer Garner una vez a la semana con sus diferentes disfraces era mas que suficiente para mí.
En serio se va a extrañar....

Ni me lo digas Romino, yo gracias a los comentarios de ustedes mi esposa y yo nos volvimos superfans de las series, pero es cierto para mi gusto en esta temporada la serie se me ha hecho algo aburrida.

Lastima porque ya no vemos a ver la Garner una vez a la semana. Coincido contigo con lo de los disfraces.

Saludos.

Es cierto mujeres de esa categoria no se ven a diario lo malo es que ella no se debio embarazar puesto que tenia contrato hasta la temporada 7 haber que pasa con su carrera
Creo que Ben Affleck ya le echo la sal

Dudo tenga que ver con el embarazo, Alias nunca ha tenido los grandes ratings, y yo creo es buena decisión terminarla ya, antes de que disminuya la calidad.

Pues de hecho ya no sabrán, hasta que la saquen en DVD... debido a los bajos ratings ya cancelaron la serie definitivamente.

Viewers will never learn how the secret agent played by Jennifer Garner will continue her work after giving birth to the child she has been carrying throughout episodes this season. ABC announced Wednesday that the show has been canceled. Alias has plummeted in the ratings this season following its move to Thursday nights opposite CBS's hit reality series Survivor: Guatemala. Last year, it recorded its biggest audiences to date, when it followed ABC's big hit Lost.Total viewers have fallen to 7 million from 10.3 million since then -- a 29.1 percent decline -- and ranks 75th on Nielsen's list of primetime programs. Garner's real-life pregnancy -- she is married to Ben Affleck -- was written into the series' story line this season.

Yo apenas me entere hoy a traves del radio y me dio mucho coraje. Desgraciadamente son mercenarios de los ratings y no les importa el numero de fans que tienen.

Por cierto, nadie lo ha comentado.... pero ya la están pasando por AXN (la 5a Temporada), empezó el martes 11 de julio.... mañana ya es el 4a capítulo.... yo desgraciadamente me perdí el primero y por más que SKY checo a que hora haya repeticiones.... las repeticiones son de Temporadas anteriores.... no existe algo así como el "second chance"... pues el mismo martes que pasan ALIAS a la 1 am no es el capítulo que pasaron a las 8pm es otro de alguna temporada anterior...
