Update: MV on radio Friday morning
SouthernGal, Vartan Ho #770, let us know that Q102 in Philly has Michael listed for the morning show tomorrow. I'm not entirely sure when he'll be on exactly (they'll probably interview him over the phone?). And apparently, they've lost the rights to broadcast over the web. Argh. If anyone is able to catch this, we'd love you forever if you could provide a recap. Thanks and good luck! :)
Movie listings
Beverley was nice enough to pass on some new movie listings for our favorite stars. All times are Pacific.
"Daredevil" (HBE/HBO): Sun 2-15 11:45 a.m. & 11:40 p.m., Wed 2-18 4:00 p.m. & 11:50 p.m., Fri 2-20 12:45 p.m. & 9:00 p.m.
"It Had to be You" (Ch LIF): 2-14 1:00 p.m.
"One Hour Photo" (Ch MAX): Sun 2-15 4:45 p.m.
"The Pallbearer" (Ch MAX): Sat 2-14 1:05 p.m.
Remember that "Never Been Kissed" will also air three times this week, starting today at 10:00 p.m. on USA (with repeats on the 14th and 15th).
Alias Season 2 DVDs for Europe
According to Vicki, Buena Vista has finally scheduled to release the second season on Region Code 2 DVDs June 1st, 2004. That's mainly UK, but should include countries like Germany as well. The date is subject to change. They're monkeys for not distributing them sooner in countries that are so "Alias" deprived, but I guess US fans are allowed to get a special treat once in a while, too, since they're usually screwed with regards to releases like "Farscape" and "Stargate SG-1." Thank the Goddess for region free players.
Ep 17 title and writing credits
Wow, the season is almost over and have we really learned anything new about the characters? I'm honestly still waiting for the *real* season to start. Five eps to go. Until then, spoilers are piling up. The latest ep title and writing credits, for instance.
With these long breaks and fans knowing plot developments *months* in advance, is ABC starting to remind anyone else of the Sci Fi Channel? And Bad Robot of 1013 for dragging out the cheap thrills until the finale? When will the engaging *journey* start and the gimmicks end? Why aren't they celebrating the characters and relationships they have? I have no interest in guessing where Mulder is (what happened to Syd in the missing two years), if he's the father of Scully's child (why Vaughn married LuEvil), and watching the characters themselves tiptoe around every issue. Proactive Vaughn, please come back to us!
A pre-Alias week is always a good time to look back on the season, no? ;) TGI (almost) F!

Debunking spoilers
Kristin has some intel about a Not!GuestStar. Guess it's too much to ask to write that role out altogether, huh? But at least we were spared another stunt casting (among other things if you check out her whole chat). I miss the regulars! If they can be called that anymore...
Ho Community keeps on growing
And can you blame us? :) We've just added our latest friends to the Ho List, with the new pages located here and here. A special welcome to Vartan Ho #3100, Cinful. Thanks everybody! And if you're still wondering where to sign up, click here.
I'll end this quickie with a shoutout to Sam and Jack, just because I can. ;) Have a nice day folks!

The Hos weigh in
We've had our Vaughn poll up for a while now, so we wanted to give our thoughts about how we wish things would be explained and which alternative we think would be the best for salvaging Vaughn's character. Because God knows his character needs some serious help to escape the Land of Passive, Spineless Morons where the writers have kept him quarantined all season.
He's married? So?
Somebody still remembers what a good character Vaughn used to be, as he's on a list of TV's best boyfriends. Not sure how he qualifies as a boyfriend, what with having a wife and all, but the writer must have given him a special exemption.
Spring, uh, winter cleaning
The Hos have been doing a bit of housekeeping and got rid of the dead links from our site-links section. Quite a few Alias sites have moved or fallen by the wayside in the past few months. If you have a site you want listed, let us know.
For a challenge, see if you can make it through today without hearing about Janet Jackson's breast. ;-)

Feel Kissed by Michael
With V-Day coming up, aren't you too in the mood for a little romantic movie starring Michael? We're in luck! As previously reported, "Never Been Kissed" will air on USA this Thursday at 10:00 p.m., and Lori let's us know you can catch it twice more (whoohoo!): Saturday, Feb. 14th at 5:00 p.m., and Sunday, Feb. 15th at 1:00 a.m. What a fine weekend this will make. Thanks for the tip, Lori! :)
Malaysia loves the 'Ship
They're just now getting season two, but better late than never, right? To celebrate the occasion, there's a nice little review from TheStar.com with shoutouts to some the best "Alias" sites on the net. Sweet! If only we could jump back to that season, too. I'm getting all nostalgic reading about our favorite ship and the fanfic fun we had back then. And not to forget Action!Vaughn, the number 1 reason I was watching. Oh, how we miss you...
If you feel inspired now, think about giving our Caption Contest another try. Nothing like the Syd/Vaughn dynamic to get us going on a Monday. Have a shippy one! :)
