Reminder: Tubi has all 5 Seasons of Alias available to watch, for FREE! Sadly, I think they're airing the eps with a lot of the songs replaced (Boo!), but it's still a great way to watch the series.

1x02 "So It Begins"
Written by: J.J. Abrams
Directed by: Ken Olin
Airdate: Oct 7, 2001


What bugs me about this 1st scene is Sydney's arrogance! Like the CIA has been waiting for her to join them. So they could take down SD-6 in record time as she put it. Did she forget her dad has already been doing this job? But she's giving Vaughn all this intel like she's their sole answer. Love how he shuts her up by showing her the map of how big SD-6 truly is.

Continuity error: In 1x01 when Syd enters SD-6, the door from the white room opens on the left, here it opens on the right. Ooops!

We learn Syd & Will have known each other for 3 yrs.

I love Weiss!
"Impressive?" (Said to Vaughn after he convinced the boss to help Syd). "Balls of Steel."
Vaughn scoffs.
Weiss: "No, that's what I'm going to call you from now on. (To a passing guy). Hey, have you met balls of steel?"

TV shows will teach you: always cut the blue wire on a bomb.

Ah, yes...from now on nothing but cliffhanger endings!

1x04 "Time And Again"
Written by: David Kemper
Directed by: Les Landau
Airdate: Jan 30, 1995


Tom trying to get Harry to go out with the Delaney Sisters, but he's having none of it. Love it when Tom tells him, "You need to run a self-diagnostic!".

This is our first sort of Tom-centric episode. Yay!

Doc: "Seems I've found myself on a voyage of the damned."

Darned Kid, LOL.

Gotta admit that I'm with Tom on this one. If this civilization is going to be destroyed, why wouldn't you warn them?

Talk about no individuality. Everybody (besides the police) wear the same clothing & colors.

Harry & B'ellana are quite the team in this episode!

Ha! That is such a TV cabinet the guy opened up!

Great, long, walk & talk shot with Paris & Janeway. That's a lot of dialog to say in one shot!

Tom gets shot in the gut. Ouch! Love Janeway's concern for him!

Janeway smartly figures out their own rescue attempt is what causes the explosion.

Oh, Tuvok - quit being so darned logical!

Testing....1,2,3...

So this is my first post for my new series of entries: TV Notes.
It's basically a really quick and easy way of reviewing TV shows. I take notes in a notebook on each episode of the series and then post them here. I was going to start with Season 15 of SPN, but then I thought that might be weird without having done the other 14 seasons. *sigh* So here's Star Trek: Voyager!


1x01 & 1x02 "Caretaker"
Written by: Rick Berman, Michael Piller, Jeri Taylor
Directed by: Winrich Kolbe
Airdate: 1-16-95


Tom "I'm a Pilot, Not an Observer" Paris. <-- Tom is my favorite Voyager character, btw. :)

That's one clunky laptop Janeway has in her quarters.

Voyager has a much bigger bridge than Enterprise on ST:TNG.

Why did Harry leave his clarinet behind at home?

Everybody hates Paris, except for the Capt. & Harry.

Why does Harry only say "Three" in his countdown before the wave hits? He had time to say at least two.

The Holographic Doctor being pissed that the crew failed to turn him off when they were kidnapped from the ship by the Caretaker array is priceless!

Janeway goes from messed-up hair to perfect bun again in 2 seconds! Why don't I have that superpower?

I like the irises in Janeway's ready room (quarters?).

No explanation given how Janeway & Co. got back onto the array w/the farm setting. Did they just beam over?

Janeway: "Mister Kim, at ease before you sprain something."

Paris to Chakotay: "If I save your butt, your life belongs to me. Isn't that some kind of Indian custom?"
Chakotay: "Wrong tribe!"

Why did the Kazon break off their attack on Voyager once Janeway destroyed the array? It was "You're made an enemy today!" and boop! they were gone! Attack over!

So did the Doc heal B'ellana & Harry of the disease? They appear to be magically healed once on board Voyager with no explanation given.

Janeway: "It's a fine crew, and I've gotta get them home!"

Yay! Caught up. :D

( All hail the Queen! )

Finally getting caught up on my SPN episode reviews before the show returns with new episodes this Thursday.

( What's round and bad-tempered? A vicious circle. )

I've only watched the episode once with a spotty 2nd viewing, so this will probably be short.

( Everybody loves bacon! )

Watched this episode a 2nd time because I felt I wasn't giving it a fair viewing the first time since it was super late & I was tired.

( You'll never leave Harlan alive... )

Yeah, believe it or not, I found out I never did review the last 3 eps of Season 14. Ooops! Sorry, but the completionist in me just couldn't let them go.

( So here's a quickie review of them... )

One down, one to go!

( It's dangerous in Iowa... )

Finally getting caught up! I hate being this far behind. Ugh.

( Slay the serpent... )
