Alias (TV series): Difference between revisions

* [[Martial Arts Do Not Work That Way]]: Mostly seen with the female characters, who occasionally use high-flying kicks, backflips and the like. The male characters' fighting styles are generally less flamboyant.

* [[The Masquerade Will Kill Your Dating Life]]: ''Literally'', in many cases, and the first major event in the show.

* [[Memory Gambit]]

* [[Mind Screw]]

** In Season 4, Sydney works for a branch of the CIA called APO, or Authorized Personnel Only, which is a lot like SD-6. Here, the official team relationships are the same as at the start of the pilot (minus the double-agent part), with the original team of Sydney, Dixon, Sloane, and Marshall back together in their original team roles, along with Jack and Vaughn. However, after three seasons of betrayal and general evil by Sloane, all the personal relationships are extremely frayed.

** There are other, more minor [[Retool|ReTools]], but these are the major ones. Season 5 is sort of a [[Retool]], but it's constantly changing and never settles. The interesting thing is that all of the original characters are maintained (minus {{spoiler|Will and Francie}}) despite all of the changes in the show. The same might be said of any show, but in ''Alias'', all of the characters completely change teams at least once and repeatedly betray one another, some of them over and over, in ways that would destroy most real (and even most TV) relationships.

* [[She Fu]]: One of the [[Trope Codifier|Trope Codifiers]].

* [[Shout-Out]]: One of Marshall's passwords is "[[The Elric Saga|Moonglum of Elwher]]".
