1. What is the premise of ALIAS?
A: Well, basically, it's about this spy named Sydney Bristow. She joined a branch of the CIA called SD-6, but she wasn't allowed to tell anyone about it. However, Sydney ended up telling her fiance, Danny Hecht, but Arvin Sloane found out and killed the poor guy. So Sydney went to the CIA so she could help take down SD-6. She got a CIA "handler," Michael Vaughn and found out that her father, Jack, is a double agent, too! It's one big happy family...except Mommy's dead, and Daddy never had time for play.
2. Who's Vaughn, and does he have a first name?
A: Vaughn is Sydney's CIA handler, and yes, despite Sydney's subconcious refusal to say it, his first name is Michael.
3. So, this Michael Vaughn. He's pretty hot. Who plays him?
A: You've got that right. Michael Vaughn is played by Michael Vartan. See? MV...MV...coincidence? I think not. For the full cast, scroll down to the bottom of the page.
4. Why does Sydney change into so many disguises?
A: The show's called Alias, babe, what do you think? Plus, she's a spy. Or, you know, was a spy.
5. What happened to Vaughn's father?
A: Daddy!Vaughn, a.k.a. William Vaughn, was murdered when Vaughn was only eight. He was killed by Irina Derevko, along with 11 other CIA agents, for reasons that are yet to be revealed.
6. Who exactly is Irina Derevko?
A: Irina Derevko: previously known as Laura Bristow, and currently known as 'The Man.' Irina is Sydney's mother and Jack Bristow's wife. A little while ago, Irina turned herself into the CIA, and has been helping them out with missions in a Hannibal-esque cell since. Jack recently found out that he and Irina are still legally married.
7. Is Vaughn okay with that?
A: I doubt it. After all, after Irina killed his daddy, "he could only be identified by his dental records." Unfortunately, there's really nothing he can do about the presence of his father's killer.
8. So, Sydney and Vaughn...are they...ya know...?
A: And how! They had their first date in season two's episode 12, "The Getaway," their first kiss in episode 13, "Phase One," and they had their first bed-romping in episode 14, "Double Agent"!
9. So, Irina and Jack...are they...ya know...?
A: Not officially, but there has been some hardcore interaction between husband and wife. Jack made it clear in the beginning of season 2 that he doesn't trust Irina, but we're thinking that he's warming up to her. Now we know that, becuase we're supposed to assume that Jack and Irina slept together in episode 17, "A Dark Turn." Oh, Jack. So naive.
10. Doesn't Vaughn have a girlfriend? Amy, or Anna, or...?
A: Ah, yes, the dreaded Alice McPlotTool. That girl is a wimp and a half. Vaughn and Alice broke up back in season 1. In season two, episode 7, "The Counteragent," Vaughn got sick thanks to Clifford, and Alice showed up, claiming to be "Michael's girlfriend." Vaughn later confirmed this in the same episode. However, in episode 14, "Double Agent," we find out that Vaughn broke up with Alice again, for Sydney. What a man, what a man, what a man, what a dirty, dirty man.
11. What's with that Mr. Sark guy? Who is he?
A: Sark is my lover. Not really, but boy, that would be nice. Anyway, Sark is actually one of those hot young assassins that are always in one episode, but end up dying at the end of that ep. But not Sark! No, no, Sark is resourceful guy. Plus, JJ Abrams discovered that the audience loves him. And JJ lurves him, too, so it all worked out. Sark is a lovely British bastard who loves to kill. I mean, seriously, he's gleeful when he kills, it's hilarious! Sark first appeared in episode 1.14, "The Coup," as well as various episodes after that. We don't know a lot about him, but we do know he works for 'The Man,' or Irina Derevko, and he is currently partnered with Irina and Sloane in a mission to find out about Milo Rambaldi's secrets and prophecies.
12. Who's Milo Rambaldi, and what's all this talk about a prophecy?
A: Rambaldi was this like, genius science dude. I can't really explain it myself, but here's what I can understand: back in his time, Rambaldi made a bunch of documents known as the "machine code." On one of the documents, page 47 to be exact, is a prophecy about a woman who would bring about the destruction of the world. On the page was a drawing of the alleged woman, and the drawing looked exactly like Sydney. This has yet to be resolved, and it is unsure whether the woman in the drawing is in fact our spy girl, or Irina, Syd's mother.
13. Do you know how I can get in contact with the stars of Alias?
A: Well, you can always try the following address, but remember that there's no guarantee you'll get a reply:
