Alias, the cult classic spy series that captivated audiences for five seasons and left fans with more questions than answers, concluded over a decade ago. The show began as a tale of a grad student turned spy and evolved into a complex narrative that intertwined ancient prophecies, immortality and mysterious artifacts. The series finale titled “All the Time in the World” left many viewers seeking clarity. With the series now available on streaming platforms, a new generation of viewers has the opportunity to delve into the enigmatic ending of Alias.
At the heart of Alias’ final episodes was Arvin Sloane, Sydney’s former mentor turned archnemesis, whose obsession with 15th-century philosopher Milo Rambaldi and thirst for power shaped the culmination of the series. Sloane hatched a diabolical plan involving the acquisition of two nuclear missiles, which he intended to launch at densely populated cities. By profiting from the ensuing reconstruction efforts, Sloane sought to amass a fortune that would span the decades, thanks to his newfound immortality. To achieve this eternal life, he activated Rambaldi’s most powerful device, the Horizon, at the philosopher’s tomb in Mongolia.
Throughout the series, Sydney embarked on missions to recover Rambaldi’s devices and decipher his prophecies. Notably, Rambaldi’s writings mentioned a “Chosen One,” who could have been Sydney or her mother, as well as a “Passenger” destined to confront the Chosen One, revealed to be Sydney’s half-sister, Nadia Santos. In the climax, Sydney faced numerous obstacles, including a cave-in triggered by her nemesis. Thankfully, she was rescued by Michael Vaughn, and together with her father Jack Bristow and loyal allies, she tracked Sloane to Rambaldi’s tomb.
In retaliation, Sydney unleashed her fury on Sloane, seemingly killing him. However, she soon had to confront her mother in Hong Kong. The final encounter between Sydney and Irina was intense, ending with Irina’s demise as she prioritized power over her daughter.
Alias showcased a variety of adversaries for Sydney, including her mother, Irina Derevko, and rival spy Anna Espinosa, who underwent a procedure to look like Sydney but was ultimately killed. Kelly Peyton, after assisting APO, was imprisoned, while Julian Sark managed to escape and continued his shady activities, keeping the CIA in pursuit. Sloane’s complicated relationship with his daughter, Nadia, added another layer of intrigue.
The finale reinforced the idea that while certain events may seem fated, free will can triumph over destiny. Alias left a lasting impact by unraveling character arcs, resolving conflicts, and delving into the intricate themes that defined the series. It provided closure for fans while leaving room for imagination to ponder the future of Sydney and her chosen family.
