Zap2it – TV news – Abrams Discusses his ‘Alias,’ ‘Felicity’ Creations
While Abrams loved writing for “Felicity,” the limitations of that character provided the fuel for the creation of “Alias.” Frustrated with the finite number of college-based plots for his heroine (“Not another failed test,” Russell jokes), Abrams threw out the idea that Felicity could be recruited by the CIA.
“Because then she could go out on missions, kick ass and she would come back and she couldn’t tell Ben or Noel,” he says.
Would have been So. Good.
Of course, ending with time travel wasn’t too bad either.
