My name is not Michael Vaughn....

Example

Dun dun dunnnnnn. Okay, so I don't even watch Alias. Well, I used to, for about 3 episodes two years ago before Arrested Development premiered and took over that time slot in my Sunday night life. But last night I had a friend over who watches the show so I said, "Sure, we can watch it" b/c I'm not a complete a**hole. I know how important a finale is to an avid fan. I didn't really pay attention to most of the episode, seeing as how I had no idea of the current storyline (zombies?) or characters (Samantha's lesbian lover from Sex and the City?). But then during the last five minutes I decided to watch...b/c I love a good cliffhanger and wanted to see what was going to happen. Our thoughts: Jennifer Garner aka Sydney aka really Jennifer Garner would say she's pregnant. B/c how is she going to hide that next season? This isn't Will & Grace- you can't stand behind a couch and hope no one notices the extra 20 lbs bulging from your stomach. Nope, Sydney can't casually hide behind a counter and say "I would kick your a** but I have to carry this bag of groceries placed discretely in front of my stomach and I really can't put it down". Did you see that fight with her sister? You can't do that w/ a baby on board. I digress...so in the last five minutes, Sydney & Michael are driving on the PCH, talking about getting married (congratulations you guys!), when Michael decides to reveal some secret (this is where it gets complicated, he's talking about something from season 1 and I'm completely lost) but then (this is the best part, the reason I even wrote anything in the first place) then he says "My name is not Michael Vaughn" then BAM! A truck crashes right into their car. Cut to black- the end. It. was. awesome. Being the jumpy person that I am (I was once scared by the sight of my own shadow, true story), I screamed so f*cking loud that I had to go outside and warn the neighbors that no one had just been murdered in my apartment. Sure, no one had come outside or even seemed to care about my blood curdling scream, but I decided to say (to no one in particular) "Everything's okay, nothing to see here". To end this long rant- I now have to watch Alias next season. Damn you ABC and you're cliffhangers. Damn you to hell!
