|
| Hidden in the Rambaldi case's false bottom(!) is a bonus disc of
material
not
| found in any previous DVD release. The featurette "Case Closed"
interviews
cast
| members at the close of the show, with footage of their very last set
takes
| (It's touching to see veteran stars Garber and Kevin Weisman, who plays
lovable
| techie geek Marshall, struggle not to cry while season five newbie
Nichols
| weeps openly). The included fan tributes are amusing to watch; one
inventive
| obsessor hangs a red Japanese lantern above his bed and calls it his own
| personal "Mueller sphere." Other featurettes explore interviews with the
cast
| after the pilot was filmed; the significance of the number 47 throughout
the
| series; the numerous networks of villains (The Covenant, K. Director,
Prophet
| 5, etc.) But the best quote from the bonus disc comes from an interview
with
| Rifkin, who assesses Sloane's complex motives with: "He's bad. Sloane is
bad.
| Sloan is baaaaad. Sloane. Is. Bad." If you're a die-hard Alias fan and
don't
| own any of the previous seasons on DVD, this one is for you.

Sounds good. I only thought seasons 1 and 2 were worth buying. Too bad
you
can't just buy/rent the extras disc. I felt the same way about the extras
disc for the Buffy boxset....
