Alias is set to quit?

It's a pity. I am a big tv junk for Alias. Or should I better say "I was" and - I am again? Because the series was never really successfull over here. First they aired it on Pro7 in late 2002 - that's when I got hooked up with it. But most of the second season I was unable to watch when my new flat had no cable connection. Now thanks to Bobo I have the complete DVD box for season 1 and 2 and watch like a junk what I missed and forgot over the last 2 1/2 years. But just as I'm getting in the mood again they quit the series in the states with the end of number season 5. Just two month ago on October 6th New York Times praised the female role concept of the series. Alas, according to the German fanpage sd-6.de this will be the final course.
