Helix will not be coming back for a third season on Syfy. It was just announced and honestly the news does not shock me. While I haven’t been following the ratings for Helix this second season it apparently suffered a ratings drop of more than half what it did last season. Now you have to…
The thing with Helix is that last year it tied everything up nicely while opening up new completely unrelated questions for the future. it had such a clean slate that I truly had no idea where the show was going to go next. That was really appealing about the show. Sure, the characters built from…
Mother is dead. Nothing Julia was able to do right away was dead. So dead that they needed to go pleading to try to find the original tree. Julia’s hope was to look for the location of the tree based solely off a painting. After triangulating the painting with the current landscape, Julia somehow came…
The island is going to be burned. It is time for some aggressive burning of everything living on the island in order to purge the virus. The CDC is holding nothing back. The fact that there are a lot of people on the island alive and not infected, it’s rather unfortunate. They’ve got hours to…
Landry is a disgusting mess after the treatment from Sarah’s spinal fluid. He’s become completely deformed and reduced to a bedridden groaner. It was confirmed by Julia that duplicating the process of becoming an immortal. He however is the only person who currently knows where mother is. Considering that everyone wants something from mother in…
I’m surprised that there are so many people still left alive. I’m not entirely sure how they managed to evade Michael’s culling. Either way, Ann was trying to console those who remained. however, she was preaching to the very people Amy was able to sway previously. They all flocked to her and her corruption unable…
Brother Michael was completely successful of purging his community. The children we just saw saved last episode were dead in the mess hall. Only a select group that Brother Michael trusted were allowed to live with the express task of killing the CDC doctors. Brother Michael’s thinning was turned on him. He made a very…
Things are getting heated and dangerous in the Abbey. With the sick hidden, Brother Michael rounds up the healthy to be kept together in the dining hall. To the CDC doctors this seemed like a smart move since the control and care of the sick people was no longer in there hands. The best they…
Last week we got a glimpse of the relationship Brother Michael had with the sisters. The fact that the sisters were his daughters was a bit creepy, however somewhat understandable. He is an immortal, that didn’t mean he had to be alone. Where it got creepy was the reveal that the sisters were just sisters,…
It was rather interesting that we learned Kyle is not who he says to be. Rather he is working secretly to bring Alan Farragut down. I didn’t see that coming fro him, but that said, it adds a nice bit of depth for his character. He does seem to care for his team, but knowing…
Julia is locked up by her crazy father. Hatake has truly lost it in his recluse space. He truly believes that Daniel and J are with him on the island, which is leading to another scary hostage situation for Julia. Unfortunately, his isn’t leading Julia to anything interesting. She’s spent the last four episodes as…
Let’s start by pointing out how uncomfortable I was by Landry’s expressions and the moist noises that were going on as Sister Amy jerked him off. yeah. it was a bold way to start an episode, but the combination of the music left me wanting to hide. The way we learned that Hatake was on…
Alan Farragut has dropped all pretense of being a doctor. End of last season we saw him bomb a location housing Immortals, and for the first time we get a good look at what he’s been up to. Alan is coming through surveillance and tracking the immortals. That brought him to the compound on the…
As of late there has been a real uptick of quality science fiction shows on tv both network and cable. That’s really enjoyable when it comes to finding science fiction and fantasy shows that I enjoy. While the Fantasy shows are far more rare, the Science Fiction shows are more prevalent and are growing in…
Helix is back for a new season of diseases and crazy people. It was strangely reminiscent as Peter Farragut questioned Sarah about if the eerie feeling he felt was the same as it was at Arctic Biosystems. While last season the disease spreading made it’s victims seem like zombies, this season features a disease that…
So, I pondered...
