Cena and i have been watching the series “Alias” on dvd lately. Tonight we started season three. But we have noticed something that can only be some sort of inside joke among the writers of the story. On disc 5 of the second season i noticed the main character said something like “that makes me insane” and i made fun of it. Nobody says that. We use “that drives me crazy” or something like it. In the next episode her love interest says “when people question my honesty it makes me insane” (once again, that’s just something close to what was said). But what was interesting was that this part of the dialog did not fit either - and the part that seemed out of place was the word “insane”. Crazy - i know. Well, last night we watched the last two episodes of season two. Guess what. Yep. At least one actor said the word “insane” in each episode. And tonight we watched the first four episodes of season 3. This may sound insane but someone said “insane” in each of the four episodes. I know what you’re thinking. Insane. So for the last eight consecutive episodes someone has said “insane” sometime during the program. Sure, they throw in “crazy” every now and then but what are the chances that the writers actually happen to use this word so often? It would be interesting to go back and watch the first season and the 18 episodes of season 2 that we didn’t notice the insanity. If there is an inside joke about it then i hope they google the words “alias” and “insane” because if they do it won’t be long before this post is at the top of the search results. I think it is insane that they have gotten away with this for so long without anyone noticing.
