No, I'm not envious you lot watched the Alias season 4 premiere and I didn't. Not at all. I'm satisfying my inner goth girl instead. If you, like me, have a secret or not so secret soft spot for any incarnation of the Phantom of the Opera tale, here's the ideal belated Christmas gift:
ERIK: An Owner's Guide and Instruction
Note I: It helps to have read either the Leroux or Kay novel to get some of the jokes, but it's amusing in any case.
Note II, to souls who only know the ALW musical: Yes, his name is Erik. But Leroux predates the X-Men by several decades with creating a morally ambiguous guy named Erik with a traumatic background, a penchant for grandiose declarations and ruthless acts, so deal.

Hm... too bad your backstory (which makes complete sense) has Charles & Erik break up in the early 80s. Otherwise, I'd wonder whether Charles ever teased him by playing POTO tunes on the piano.
