Alias Connection

Anyone see Alias last night? They are looking for a "Bible".

they're looking for a master plan. They called it a quote-unquote "bible", but they are not looking for a capital-B Bible. An analogy would be to the master plan of how a whole season of a TV show's scripts will plot out, which is called the show's bible.

But did you also notice that the ABC stinger for what show you are watching, the circle logo with the word NOW in it, was a red circle, just like Push's episode 3 had. This tells me that all of those added bits of red were just red herrings.

And the Toyota commercial about "you don't have to sell your soul" appeared on another network NBC in another time slot, so while it had irony playing during Push last week, it was not a clue.

I also saw the Simply Orange Juice commercial which aired during ep. 3 during another show. I pretty much knew it wasn't in-game, but found the placement somewhat humorous. There website is [url]simplyorangejuice.com[/url]

Alias Commercial On Push

I did notice that when Jim was taking his 11pm walk the first night out that in the window of one of the homes the Alias logo was playing on the TV. There was a yellow circle of some sort that went by on the screen. I dont watch alias, but would that little yellow disk be part of the opening intro or just some sort of light reflection?

Its probably all just cross promoting I suppose, just like I suppose the Arbys and Quiznos lines were. Does anybody know how to find out whos sponsoring the show other than just regular commercials. You know like in movies Pepsi might pay the movie folks to use their products in the film.

Just curious

I think it may be self promotion, but that Alias scene in the first episode along with the multiple advertisements for Alias during the Push Nevada show has made some people on other forums beleive that there is some connection to Alias. The fact that they are now looking for the "Bible" on Alias seems to be a bit of coincidence. Also Gomining.com lists "Credit Dauphine" (the bank that Sydney is supposed to work for when she's atSD-6) as one of it's clients.

It's probably, just cross promoting the series, but it could be a hint.

Wasn't Affleck romantically linked to the woman in Alias?

no, but they are doing a movie (DAREDEVIL) together; Jen Garner is playing Elektra to Affleck's Daredevil. So a lot of folks are SPECCing that there is some commercial connection there which would justify the respective shows' cross-promotion, but I tend to doubt it since DAREDEVIL is managed by a completely separate production company than ABC, Disney, or LivePlanet, or JJ Abrams' production company which is responsible for ALIAS.

Pure and simple coincidence is all I think it is.

It was called the Circumference.

If you knew, you'd be one step ahead of the Alias writers. Confused

My interpretation was that it was either a perpetual motion machine or some psychic information gateway. Your guess is probably as good as mine.

The circumference was built based on diagrams and artifacts discovered in the show and attributed to Milo Rambaldi. Feel free to search the web for details. He's ficititious, but there used to be lots of background at http://www.followersoframbaldi.com

Did anyone else see "Antiqua" painted on one of the windows of Downtown Push as Jim was following that man to Push Savings and Loan?

Book Store

I think this was in the window of the spanish language book store. I caught a few words like Libreria (book store), Antigua (old as in antique), Tarjetas (cards), and Camisetas (t-shirts).
