Continuity: There is an episode in the first season where Sydney hides from a henchman by climbing onto a large pipe overhead. As the pipe begins to heat up and scald her hands, the henchman unlocks the deadbolt to an office door, leaving the keys visibly dangling as he enters. Just as the door closes, Sydney drops down in front of the door, but the keys are missing.

Excellent series

Although Alias may not be correct in everything it displays, what TV show is? it has everything a good series should have; action, romance, and characters that aren't idiots. Each character delivers something new and different to the screen. The plot is always moving and it's hard to tell where it's going, so when you arrive.. it's a complete surprise! With unending twists and turns, never knowing good characters from bad, the viewer simply falls into the plot and feels like they, instead of Sydney, are the main character. The only thing bad to say about the series is it sometimes takes a bit too much time to get into the plot- especially at the beginning of season 1. but, continue in and you'll find a series worth watching, a series worth buying and collecting.
