It's official:Lacero said:I'm reading rumblings Alias might be cancelled. That would be too bad, although the season started off pretty awful. The plot in episodes 2 and 3 felt rushed. And the premise of another fake CIA is becoming really lazy on the writers' part. They are 70th in the ratings. That's pretty bad for a TV series with this level of production quality.

'Alias' to end five-season run in May
Associated Press
LOS ANGELES - "Alias" is going undercover for good. The spy drama starring Jennifer Garner will end its five-season run in May, ABC announced Wednesday, promising a big finish.
"'Alias' is not going to wind down as it comes to an end, it's going to rev up, and we're going to make it the event it deserves to be," ABC Entertainment President Stephen McPherson said in a statement.
The series co-stars Victor Garber, Ron Rifkin, Carl Lumbly and Kevin Weisman. It was created by executive producer J.J. Abrams, who is also part of ABC's popular "Lost."
Airing at 8 p.m. EST Thursday this season, "Alias" has struggled to hold its audience against the competition, especially CBS' "Survivor: Guatemala." Last week, the ABC show drew about 7 million viewers compared to about 19 million for "Survivor."
Garner and her husband, actor Ben Affleck, are expecting their first child around Christmas. Her pregnancy was written into "Alias" for her character, a globe-trotting spy.
