The End is Near for Alias

Although ABC hasn't yet found a place for Alias on its schedule, my money is on it coming back and coming back strong. One thing we know for sure, the 100th episode is going to be a sweet walk down memory lane. It's been well publicized (so don't bust on me for the spoiler) that Bradley Cooper will be reprising his role as Will Tippen in the 100th episode. But he's not the only Alias alum returning to Syd's life. Keep your eyes peeled for Irina Derevko (Lena Olin), Sark (David Anders), Nadia (Mia Maestro), Weiss (Greg Grunberg) and even Anna Espinosa (Gina Torres). And perhaps one more character who just doesn't want to seem to die. And no it's not Lauren. I think the producers know better than to bring her back. Us Vaughn fans have been through enough this year without the return of Whoren Reed.

With all these old timers coming back, it's almost depressing that screen time is going to have to be devoted to the Alias newbies: Rachel, Renne and Thomas. I haven't warmed to these new characters yet. C'mon I'm an Alias purist - I like my old school spies and double agents.
