ok, so i see where this show is headed.......after 4 years of chasing a medieval alchemist/genius who discovered a fountain of youth elixir......the heroine's father is sick with radiation poisoning......and he is in need of said elixir.....and she will finally solve all of the collective riddles in order to find it...to save his life.....and just whether this discovery will happen at the end of this season....or be a haert-wrenching cliff-hanger til next season is anybody's guess.....the show's new season was postponed til january due to 'low' ratings.....which abc calls any show less than american idol....a show that we do not watch because it is insipid......the watching of a competition that so involves backbiting/blatantly nasty criticism/and while the heartwrenching personal stories of passionate commitment to song are tearjerking....they do not make up for the negatives...at least for me.......which is why i so like alias......it is a thinking person's soapopera.......little clues come at you week to week along with the major plot-driving ones......i just love this show.....and i fear that abc will not renew for season 5.....leaving our cliffhanger father with radiation sickness that close to salvation......omg......i cannot imagine getting that close and not knowing how it ends.......
