Alias Conscious (2001–2006) Online
After making a shocking discovery of a severed human hand in the desert that belonged to Lazarey, the Russian diplomat she murdered while working as a brainwashed assassin for the Covenant, and who may in fact be alive, Sydney agrees to submit to an experimental procedure conducted by an eccentric doctor, named Dr. Brezzel, designed to retrieve her lost memories. But while Jack and Vaughn look on, Sydney's mind proves surprisingly resistant to letting her remember her missing time... and the process of recovering it could end up killing her. Meanwhile, Lauren makes a great sacrifice of allowing herself to get tortured and beaten up in order to make her alibi believable to Lindsey after helping breaking Sydney out of NSC custody. Also Sloane finds himself boxed in by an unlikely enemy, that of Mr. Lindsey, who wants to see Sydney Bristow eliminated permanently.

Guest star David Cronenberg was a last-minute addition to the cast and had to learn his script at very short notice.
The casting of David Cronenberg as Dr. Brezzel seems very appropriate. Possibly an acknowledgement of his directoral work, which is often horror-genre related to mutation and medical conditions. The neurological and psychotropic aspects of Dr. Brezzel's work seem to fit right in with that.
