The series finale of Alias was good. Sloan wound up buried alive forever in Mongolia after he became immortal, Sidney saved the world, her mother died after trying to end it, her father died blowing up Sloan's tomb and burying them both (he was mortally wounded anyway), and that guy who was brought on with the blonde chick this year to add some much-needed intrigue to the show died in the subway. Several potential plot lines had to be abandoned in the quick closing out of the series, but at least everybody died who needed to. Now I can move on with my TV life.
