Oh wait - now that does ring a bell. When Abrams was interviewed on The
Nerdist I think he mentioned that Alias was basically an attempt to do a
version of a show he had been working on about the life and times of a
college girl that would be easier to write because she could be placed into
dangerous and exotic situations and locations (and skimpy outfits) every
week. He said when he was writing the earlier show he would fantasize about
doing something wild and crazy with that character, because it got boring
doing the same routine storylines. Either during or shortly after that show
he pitched the basic premise of Alias as that show (now, I guess I write)
Felicity as if she was an undercover spy. But wait - I was under the
impression when he gave that interview that Jennifer Garner had been the
star of the college girl show he was talking about?
