Alias reboot? Already?

According to this little tidbit from SciFiWire, JJ Abrams is in talks to reboot Alias on TV… except without the semi-mystical Rimbaldi backstory that motivated both the good guys and the bad guys.

My question is: what’s the point?

First of all, the show hasn’t been off the air that long.

Secondly, without Rimbaldi behind things, it’s just another generic spy show. And, really, it looks like we’re already going to have a few of those.

Here’s hoping someone come to their senses and kills that project.
