Syfy’s science fiction/ horror drama airs Fridays at 10/9c.
We started the episode with a major jump into the future. Day 235 to be exact. From all appearances Alan was taking to torture in his continued attempts to bring down Ilaria. Apparently all the outlets that Alan attempted to contact about Ilaria have turned a blind eye. Hiroshi is taking Daniel’s death really hard.…
Sara’s silver eyes and new status as a immortal is eerie. No one seems to be paying it any mind, but certainly one must confront what is happening to her. She went from looking at a few weeks of life to now being immortal. Both Sarah and Julia seem to be excited about their new…
The vectors, led by the lovely Peter Farragut, are still causing all sorts of problems. He managed to lure a hungry woman in for his vectors to capture. they aren’t just going after people on Level R, those people are long lost. Instead, the vectors are laying their attack on the uninfected floors. It was…
While it is sad and important to the story that Sarah is sick. It also feels like they aren’t focusing their priorities taking time off their work with vectors to find out what is going on with her. Impending death seems to be giving Sarah a new perspective on things as she doesn’t accuse Hatake…
The team is clearing out the vectors and using Sarah as bait. I’m sure there would have been someone more well suited to dangle their lives on the line than a doctor. The real problem is that they’ve only spotted one vector in their time down below. It seems that Level R isn’t the bottom…
Julia is back to feeling well. So well that she’s willing to play a joke an stress out her colleagues. Her appetite is back, she looks good, but she still has those silver eyes. While Sarah was running tests on Julia’s blood, Julia showed her the special eyes she’s now sporting. Julia is far from…
Constance Sutton, the woman in charge of Allaria aka the parent company is now in the house. While she may have come off perfectly amiable to Alan, she was far more hostile with Hatake when she had some alone time. The goal really is to get the cure for the disease. However, the goal was…
One has to keep in mind that we are only 6 days into this journey. Things may not seem to be going very quickly because we’ve had weeks of time to process this, while the characters have only had a fraction of that. Right at the beginning we were reminded that Ballaseros was bloodied and…
Seriously, can Balleseros get any more shady. I don’t know that it’s actually possible for him to be any more sociopathic. He lies like it is nothing. He kills with ease. And subterfuge seems to be his specialty. He likes dredging up trouble going so far as to push Daniel. He throws threats around and…
We picked up right where we left off with Julia trying to communicate to the others, but not being able to. Meanwhile, up in the healthy section, Hatake expresses his willingness to leave all the sick for dead. Even though Julia wasn’t able to inform them the test was faulty, the possibility was quickly brought…
Julia doesn’t seem to have any memory of Peter attacking her in the decontamination shower. Alan found Julia disoriented and on the floor, just before Peter appeared in front of him. As the eerie frog-like neck bubbling continued, Peter passed out and made it convenient for the crew to recapture him. Julia on the other…
If there is one thing this show knows how to do it is make your heart race as the suspense builds, which lead to an extremely enjoyable pilot. Helix didn’t waste time getting to the meat and potatoes and the show. The viral infection spreading through the arctic facility is already leading to some gruesome…
So, I pondered...
