Good,I am enjoying it and for a summer show it is one of the better ones. I think it deserved its renewal.

Agreed....i think it's the best Syfy show they have, besides Being Human.

Really great episode today,best of the season so far. Really exciting from start to finish and looks like they are setting up some interesting storylines.

Good episode. I got the feeling that they seemed to hint that Dr Rosenberg could be an alpha. Bill said something like, "You're not an alpha and you're still here" to which he didn't get an answer and some of the conversation with Brent Spiner's character. Maybe I'm reading too much into it.

If you thought last weeks was good you'll be blown away by this week!

Outstanding, best ep. of the season by far, i actually thought last weeks ep. while very good was a bit overhyped, the invisible girl thing though sorta original was kinda predictable.

But this week!...wow, i never called Roen being copied by a shapeshifter until Rachel said it, great episode all around....terriffic action and fight scenes, inside Binghamton....all the guards etc.

I think the show is MUCH more interesting when it does arc/Red Flag episodes....they are much more gripping. This one was top quality.

tvnutz · 20-09-2011 09:09PM

Ye another very good episode,it has gotten stronger as it has went along. Delighted it has been picked up for another season and I reckon the last few episodes will be good.

Richard Dower · 25-09-2011 04:19AM

Weird season schedule, it's only got 11 episodes this season....the finale is on Monday....appears to be 90 mins (63 mins without adds): http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2011/09/23/season-finale-of-syfys-alphas-airs-monday-september-26/104691/

Alphas has been hit and miss, some rather average eps. mixed with some really excellent ones. But overall i think it's one of the best SyFy shows outside of the US version of Being Human.

Look forward to the finale!

adox · 25-09-2011 08:44AM

Yeah enjoyed the show so far. Has gotten darker in the last couple of episodes which is a good thing imo.

Mr E · 27-09-2011 08:38AM

The finale wasn't as strong as the last few episodes (the 'raid' looked really low budget), but the ending was pretty good. Unless there is a big magic reset button, season 2 could be a bit different.

Agreed, there was alot of filler scenes, i thought the raid was pretty good myself, they had alot of SWAT guys running about, pity about Anna though

Did anyone notice it was Hicks the shot through the door and saved Rosen and his daugther?

They way i read that was that Hicks was working for Red Flag!...like he was taking out all the Red Flag members, he's still under yer mans spell from ep. 1 - anyone pick up on that?

I'm not sure what the point was of Rosen exposing the Alphas, what's his endgame?, if anything i was hoping Rosen and the team would finally go rogue!

Gary as always brought the laughs

, but as for a finale it was rather average, :pac:

Mr E · 27-09-2011 09:29AM

Rosen didn't do it on purpose, I think he was being forced to do it. I think in that scene with his daughter 5 minutes before the end (where they held hands), she planted the thought in his head. Looks like Dani was working with Stanton Parish - they were together in that closing sequence.

But Gary gave him the camera pen, and all the team knew he was gonna out the Alphas, plus....it was never suggested his daughter was able to push thoughts into Rosen's head.

tvnutz · 27-09-2011 02:26PM

Didn't realise it was the finale. Not a bad episode,with a very good ending. Don't think rosen was forced into doing what he did,sure Parish didn't want to go public,hence why he had a load of the Red Flag people killed since they were thinking about going public.

Overall I really enjoyed the show,a few average episodes but none really bad as far as i can remember. Glad it has gotten another season.

expectationlost · 27-09-2011 09:16PM

you think they'd more about the massarce

Richard Dower · 01-10-2011 01:29AM

Interesting news, season 2 will have a new showrunner....good or bad?

FreudianSlippers · 17-10-2011 04:29PM

I've been pretty hard on this show, but just caught up to episode 7 and I have to say it's not the best show ever, with certainly some really poor episodes, but overall it's not awful.
Gary is a bit annoying, but the characters are all starting to grow on me a bit.

The mission of the week isn't the show's strongest suit and the characters/acting is a bit 2 dimensional at times.

FreudianSlippers · 25-10-2011 07:38PM

Well I've watched the whole season now... and things indeed have just become complicated.

The show has totally redeemed itself to me and I'm actually enjoying it now and looking forward to next season. It was totally worth sticking it out for the overall storyline.
Each individual episode has its pacing problems and issues, but as a whole I think the show will benefit from a new showrunner next year and a slightly new direction.

Loads of excellent guest stars for season 2, incl. a favourite of mine: C. Thomas Howell + Miss show killer herself Summer Glau returns for three episodes.....so expect cancellation to follow!

Forgot this and Warehouse 13 were back tomorrow. Thanks for the reminder.

Hope both shows are up to the quality or better than last season. Especially W13 which really surprised me

Richard Dower · 25-07-2012 08:26PM

Not a bad season opener, wasn't an all out "magic reset button" scenario....but close enough, so they lock Rosen up for 8 months and then shiits hits the fan....and release him again?

Um, didn't this happen first time round, what's to stop Rosen going rogue again?...you'd think Rosen wouldget a clue!....they locked his ass up, rubbished his name....and he goes back to work for them and trusts they'll keep up their side....WTF?????

Nina + Hicks = splitsville, lol...like no one saw that purely non phsyical loving relationship going bust........Rachel is back to her fetal stage, Gary got a job at the NSA....and then chipped, ara....look they just got the team back together and Paris and Rosen's daughter are in cahoots.

Twas a solid opener, but you do smell a magic reset, plot holes and deja vu with added stupidity from our scooby gang.

expectationlost · 25-07-2012 08:44PM

its relys too much on rosen being a wise old ... nanny, but it was quite good a war has started!

reminds me of continuum
