Alias Wishful Thinking (unspoiled except for some casting)

So, is there new Alias tonight? I'm so distracted that I now relay on my flist for TV listings--it's only down to some kind soul mentioning it that I managed to see Veronica Mars last night.

I was reading through some of my episode-review posts from last year while thinking about a fandom/fanfic year in review post (which I won't be doing). I did a fairly good job keeping my optimism and good humor, in retrospect, but Season 3 did wear on me: I'm not as excited about the premiere as I was last year, and I don't feel the same buzz from my flist that I did last year, either.

( that said, I'm not wholly pessimistic )

I may have more to say, but now I need to get back to my day job.
