Topic: Alias (television series)


In the News (Sun 27 May 12)

  
  Alias (TV series) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alias is unusual for an American drama series in that the opening credits do not run until the end of the first long act, sometimes as late as 15 minutes into the episode.
Due to the intricate and story arc-based nature of the series, most novels published to date have been prequels to the series, some focusing on Sydney in her early missions for SD-6, and others focusing on Vaughn's missions before meeting her.
Their canon status with regards to the televised series has yet to be determined.

 Filmtracks: Alias (Michael Giacchino)
Alias: (Michael Giacchino) One of the most popular television series of the 2000's, Alias is the inevitable idea of a female James Bond in disguise, running around the world under cover for the CIA and other interests.
When the first Alias album was released in 2003, most film music collectors actually didn't know Giacchino for any film score at all; he was mostly associated with high quality video games (and mainly for his association with the Medal of Honor series in particular) over the previous five or so years.
Series creator J.J. Abrams claims great affection for Giacchino who, as he states, writes music that is perfectly suited for the character and stories of the show.
