(I don't want this topic moved from here because it really doesn't fit into any other forum - it's not really about Sydney that much - it's a fan poll on how they feel about the show's main character, so it doesn't really go in the Sydney/Jen actor forum, I think it goes here.)
Think about how you feel when you've watched re-runs of Alias. Do you put yourself in Sydney's shoes? Do you feel for her? How much? How much, really? Be honest!
I have to say that I picked the "I am as emotionally attached to her as if she was a real person."
Sydney is the show. Her life is the show and obviously, if you're a fan of the show, you must like Sydney one way or another. By now I've seen an episode of Alias, new or old, probably about 150 times (damn that's a lot but I would guess there's some of you that have seen it more).
Anyways, I don't know why, but having seen the pilot all the way through to the last episode "Blowback" (and every episode at least 3, probably 4 times), I feel really emotionally attached to Sydney and I'm appreciating Jennifer as a great actress a whole lot more. One of the best emotional Sydney scenes is when Irina was able to go outdoors to the top of the roof of the building where she was being held captive by the CIA and Sydney went there to talk to her and they had a very quick chat and hugged each other, and both of them were crying. Also, Danny Hecht's funeral scene - Jen did real well there. That's just 2 examples, there are probably about 100 scenes from this show that are emotional Sydney scenes (her in the hot tub back in her old apartment, her talking to Vaughn near the end of 3x01 "The Two", etc.
Vaughn is a good guy and he's cool, but the only reason I really want to see Sydney and Vaughn together again is because that's something that would make her happy. It sucks to see her "depressed" this season.
Whenever I have a daughter, Sydney will be her name, for sure.
