Alias Two point No

I'm a little disturbed by the next post. Since some time ago, there are rumors circling the web and claiming that ABC is planning to reboot the hit J.J. Abrams (God bless him) show Alias. This confirms my thoughts: the television industry and Hollywood in general are running out of ideas.



Alias premiered in 2001 on ABC and picked up five successful seasons. The premise of the series focuses on the life of the agent Sydney Bristow who believes she is working for a secret cell of the CIA called SD-6, but the reality is different. When Sydney learns she's working for the people she believed was fighting against, joins the real CIA as a double agent to help destroy SD-6. The series goes further, also deals with mythological aspects (a la Lost) like the search for artifacts of Renaissance inventor Milo Rambaldi, who has built weapons of mass destruction and has predicted the future as a kind of hybrid between DaVinci and Nostradamus.


The series had an incredible way of link the professional aspects of Sydney Bristow (Jennifer Garner ... I [HEART] JENN) and the social aspect of her life, along with the problems she held with her parents Jack Bristow and Irina Derevko (Victor Garber and Lena Olin); having to conceal her true life to her friends Will and Francie (Bradley Cooper and Merrin Dungey).



The new series plans on leaving the Rambaladi mythological themes, to be more attractive to more people. But this could be a good move by ABC, as in the original series, Rambaldi mythology somewhat disappointed fans when it was abandoned in mid-series, because it was very difficult to understand and follow.



If ABC wants to go ahead with this madness, they should know that fans will be the first to see the opening chapters of the series, and here I give you a few ideas to attract new viewers and keep the old fans of Alias:



WHAT NOT TO DO:

  • First of all, I urge you: DO NOT MAKE SYDNEY BRISTOW THE MAIN CHARACTER! Chapter 100 of the Alias series is called "There's only one Sydney Bristow." Not only is there a single Sydney, there is only one Jennifer Garner. Jenn was the one who gave life to that character and would be a shame to see someone else try to capture the emotion and truth that Garner gave the part.

  • Don't try to say that this is a second generation of spies. Do not mark the beginning of the series showing Isabelle, the daughter of Sydney and Michael, as the protagonist of the series.

  • Don't involve J.J. Abrams. As much as we love the guy, and he has helped to give new life to the channel, there is only so much he can do. We are confident that if he gets included in the project, the series would be great, but accept the following, the series promises to be a failure, and I don't think you guys wanna have the guilty conscience of having damaged the record of Abrams.


WHAT TO DO:


  • There are certain characters that might return to the series as Marshall Flinkman and it strikes me that Eric Weiss could come back and be a kind of new and improved Jack Bristow. Of course, this would only work if they can convince Kevin Weisman and Greg Grunberg to return to the series as regulars.
  • Go back to the roots of the original series and establish more moments with friends and the difficulties to hide the main character's secret identity. All those moments were very special for the first few seasons, but were lost completely later, as the series drew to a close.
  • The following would not make much difference in the critical impact of the series, is just a personal request ... Let the opening theme of the series be the same as the original series, thanks.

Make sure to let me know how you feel about Alias getting a reboot and comment!
