Wow. That must take the cake for being one of the most unexpected cliffhanger season finales in history. I'm talking, of course, about Alias-- the smart and sexy spy series that you really should be watching. So let's recap. We don't know what Sloane saw in the document given to him by David Carradine. We don't know what the Rimbaldi device did. We don't know what Irina's real agenda is-- her "explanation" really wasn't one. And most of all, we don't know what the heck happened to Sydney after her showdown with Francie and what's happened to everyone else in the meantime. Will the series pick up where it left off, or will it rewind? And more importantly, do the show's creators have a road map or are they making this up as they go along? Because this whole Rimbaldi thing has been playing out for two years now, and we're no closer to a revelation now than we were when the show began. I like unexpected turns as much as the next guy, but I want assurances that there's a firm hand on the tiller. And tonight's cliffhanger is either sheer brilliance or a desperation hail Mary pass.
