    What season are they on?
    They have S1 on Netflix, so I will watch that. I can just download the rest if I like the show.

      I hope they have an episode like last season where something happens to Gary and Ryan Cartwright gets to use his real English accent. He only got to do it for a couple of lines last time, I would be howling on the floor if you had him with Gary's regular affect, annoying the **** out of Harken, Hicks, and Rosen with an English Accent.

      Do this today: Instead of $%*#!@& on a game you're not going to play or movie you're not going to watch, say something good about a piece of media you're excited about.

      Do the same thing tomorrow. And the next. Now do it forever.

        Think they got good actress to play her too. Saw on IMDB that she is an ex-ballerina. They will probably have her do some cool **** like Summer Glau on Firefly. Actually I guess she already did.
        Yeah, I really like her character. Loved that move where she flipped a couple times then kicked the punching bag. She can watch a couple youtube vids and be an expert in anything.

        Its hard to remember any show do better in action sequences than Alphas. Love all the slo mo Harkin scenes like where he stopped a bullet with a bullet. SICK. Having Hicks run down guys with a vending machine was creative too. You would think a strong guy would just pick it up and just toss it at them.

          Gary is definitely in my top 5 characters of any show. The exchange between him and I think Hicks. Where he told Hicks "You cant kill me, you'll go to jail... I'd kill you I get up at 7:46" or something like that had me rolling on the floor laughing

            This episode was probably my favorite of the series. The interaction of the team is the strength of the show for me, and this is what this whole episode was about. Without having to spend time on a outside villain, everyone on the team could have some nice character beats.

            I'm glad that they've started Nina down a redemptive arc, I haven't really liked her character since the series stared, but now that she's hit rock bottom and we've seen why she's so messed up, she can slowly earn the team's trust back and fully become part of the Alphas family

              I hope we get a flashback episode to each character. I really like to see the root for all the problems of the team.

              I really liked the episode but what got me was why was the team not prepared for Nina and have special glasses to be protected from being pushed. I guess it moves the story along but got used to the show being pretty good with small details like that.

                Watched the pilot episode. Going to end up watching the next 10 episodes on Netflix over time.

                  It seems like anything I've ever seen from SyFy has been some low-budget garbage, but I'll give this one a shot.

                    You won't mistake it for a big budget blockbuster but it certainly doesn't feel as cheap as something like Warehouse 13.

                      I think they do a great job with the CGI in show and doesn't look cheesy at all. Maybe some explosions here or there but nothing where its really noticeable.

                      I think its because they do so well in action sequences that you don't really notice the cgi. To think about it, I think this show is number 1 in action scenes. Amazing slo mo scenes.

                            Excellent episode. Worst thing about being caught up now is I have to wait for every episode :/

                                Watched all of season one and just 2 episodes behind in season 2. Dang. What a great sci-fi/action show. Lovin it.

                                Gotta get caught up to watch tonights episode.
