With 24 bottom, the most frequently asked question when watching Alias is a Fibonacci-indexed sequence: how, how come, what the hell, how the hell it happened. . . How did Sidney know that the nuclear bomb was hidden in the warehouse in Cairo? How can Sidney mix into the warehouse single? Why doesn't that warehouse even have a minimum surveillance system? How did Sidney get out after so many troubles? Why does Sloane believe in Sidney's loyalty because of a task (not even an honest sheep man like me)? Don't they want to tie the loose ends? How could Sidney swagger into the CIA branch? It stands to reason that she just stabbed Lou Zi. Shouldn't the SD-6 focus on monitoring her? Why did Marshall bring such an important organization chart to the special service vehicle? Just to convince Sidney? With sister Sidney's care, why didn't she think of telling her fiance not to use the phone to blend important information? SD-6 can actually mobilize a huge antenna array, isn't it a bit arrogant? Even if the CIA is trying to catch it, give some false information to the head office, right? Where can I get SD-6 to do whatever I want? On the contrary, the important reason why 24 always makes people think about it is that both terrorists and Uncle Bauer are logically evil and powerful.
Of course, Alias’s selling point is different from 24, not in rendering details. But with the brave Uncle Bauer's feats time and time again, we can't help but ask what would happen if it were Bauer or what would happen if it was Bauer's enemy, right?
PS, 24 of course also has disadvantages. But this is Alias's comment full of personal prejudice, so the shortcomings of 24 are omitted. . . .
Finally, I ask a question: Why are Niu X’s spies called JB? James Bond, Jack Bauer, Jack Bristow, Jason Bourne...
