Jennifer Garner gutted - but also happy - about end of Alias

Jennifer Garner feels the ending of her show Alias is a rather double-edged sword: she’s devastated that it’s finishing but glad that it’s going out before it gets stale.

Jennifer has been played spy Sydney Bristow for the show’s entire five year run.

“It feels like it’s time,” she says. “To me, this show had a finite amount of stories that we could tell.”

“[The writers] shove a ton of story into every episode. So we’ve told, in five years, what some people would do in seven seasons.”

“We’ve done Sydney right, and now it’s time for her to go off into the sunset.”

“But that doesn’t mean that my heart doesn’t break, and I’m not going through a total identity crisis, because I am.”
