The season opener of Alias's fourth season was a bit of a let down for me. I think that the new secret governemnt organization that Syd, Vaughn, Jack, Dixon ans Marshall are now a part of is way too much like SD-6, including that it has all the same members with the exception of Vaughn and now, of course, Nadia. I also do not understand why the United States government would get Arvin Sloane to head up this organization. The explanation in the episode was simply not very convincing. The opening teaser was almost a copy of the opening of the episode "Phase II", which aired after the superbowl two years ago. On a more uplifting note, Jennifer Garner looked better then ever.
