Engrossing Sci-Fi: Alias

Before 2001, J.J. Abrams was that guy who gave us Felicity. Then this little show premiered in the Fall on ABC and he became that guy who gave us butt-kicking, wig-wearing, foreign language speaking, double-dealing, bad ass spies. Every time I took a test after that, I half-expected some clandestine organization to pop up and try to recruit me. There was action, adventure, humor, romance and more action. Sure, the last two seasons werent exactly stellar but the twist and turns building up to that point were fantastic. Plus fight scenes between Gina Torres and Jennifer Garner. Sweet.
