Alphas

I really enjoyed this episode. Mostly because it was wall to wall Gary. I'm SURE the IMDb crowd will have thoroughly enjoyed it for the same reason.

The use of the girl was something different (if really stretching credibility) and I liked that the team didn't entirely win the day, since the truck still blew up. That seems to happen quite often in this show, which makes a change.

It really is ambiguous whether the team are on the good or the bad side. Makes me feel like the writers aren't sure either, but maybe it's a bit of both anyway.

The pusher was so exasperated with her limited role in this episode that she did an over the top tit bouncy walk at one point.
 
I missed the first half of the episode, so what was her power and was she using a hairbrush to talk? But what I saw, I liked.
 
Her power was being able to understand any language. Unfortunately she had some condition that stopped her from being able to talk, but by making sounds with objects she could create a kind of morse code type language of her own, which Gary could interpret.

Come to think of it, it was yet another episode where the bad guy has a similar power to one of the Alphas, but uses it to do evil.
 
I like how they left it open on whether she was evil or not. Certainly blowing things up is on the evil side, but her reasons were valid.
 
Hehehe.

I agree her reasons for being pissed off and wanting to make a point were valid, but she only seemed to care about people getting hurt after Gary brought it up, and that might've only been to get him to help her anyway. Until that point she seemed perfectly happy for all the people at that chemical lab to get blown up.

It's nice to have a show that asks these kinds of questions, isn't it? And on the SyFy channel of all places!
 
Another solid episode IMO. It was good to get to know the smelly girl a bit better.
 
I liked when Black Guy (okay, I know his name's Bill) was about to use his door-breaking power but then Other Guy pointed out the door was open.

Gary was quite funny. It was obvious there was something off with that creepy mother. Smelly Girl actually has breasts. It was okay.
 
Smallville? Or maybe all Canadian streets look the same. Similar to one seen in that pointless SGU episode where Scott had a vision where all the characters lived in a small town.

I liked Gary's blatant attempt to get the football dude's coat. "His jacket's getting caught, it's too bulky, you should take it off!" nice example of his unawareness of how other people will read what he says.

The power was A BIT like an evil version of Bill's in that it used some sort of brain secretion to make a normal feeling much more powerful.

Anyway, good ep. Feels like the writers are getting used to the characters now.

IMDb gave good reviews to "The Land of Faraway". They wouldn't know quality if it walked up and sodomized them with Luci's alarm clock.

I mean, I'm sure "Alphas" is good, but I just have too little time to watch it.
 
Oh I know, I was being sarcastic. The IMDb crowd hate Gary because he's autistic and they don't want to see "anoying retarts" on their tv.
 
Yay Alaina Huffman! Or as she's credited in the script "Hey, Don't Forget This Show's Filmed in Canada!".

Lots more Gary... I liked the unpicking of the food.

I thought the guy in grey who got shot was going to turn out to be an Alpha. Maybe he was but they cut the references or I missed something? He didn't seem to have much purpose.

Bill was finally likable and his Rosen impression was pretty good. Maybe I missed another thing, but I didn't think they make it very clear that Bald FBI Guy was the one he'd hit until the end. Up until then I thought he was just generally opposed to an angry man being an agent.

WHEN ARE MR DATA AND RIVER GOING TO BE IN IT?
