As I was watching Alias last night, it suddenly dawned on me that this show is part of the axis of evil. Half way through the episode, it occurred to me that Anna Espinoza…is yet another evil African American woman on TV! The show even went to great lengths during past seasons to establish Sidney’s best friend (a black woman), only to turn her into an evil twin.
Am I onto something?
The actor who plays Ms. Espinoza was also an uber-demon in the show Angel for a while. And, to top it off, she let the President’s wife convince her to let her husband die in 24, after becoming the President’s brother’s lover.
Alias, 24, and The Apprentice. Trying to keep a sister down.
Just started watching Alias this year because it’s right after Lost and it’s in HD.
I think she’s suppose to be Brazilian or a mix of Portuguese and black. I don’t know how Brazilians of African descent are treated down there. Many of their biggest soccer stars are of course black. But their supermodels seem more European.
Anyways, Alias really stretches plausibility, as does Lost and 24. All still very entertaining though.
Alias is yet another show that I do not watch. Come to think of it, I rarely watch TV these days unless it is news, sports, some G4TV, or maybe something educational (I have a soft spot for Nature on PBS and like-minded shows).
Carnivale is the only show I sit down to watch according to the schedule. I’ll "catch" The Simpson, Malcolm in the Middle, or Daily Show during dinner, but I eagerly await Carnivale every week. I don’t watch much TV either.
