CJohn Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 (edited) The new Syfy show has been receiving excellent reviews and it is already considered Syfy's best show in many years. After last year's Defiance, it seems that Syfy is finally back with the goods. Trailer: I already saw the season premiere, and loved it. The writing is great, it is thrilling and intense, it has strong performances and great production values for a Syfy show. Can't wait for next week! io9 review: http://io9.com/first-impressions-helix-is-syfys-best-new-show-in-yea-1480372505 Edited January 11, 2014 by CJohn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorWho Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Ep 3 was good too, but Boyle not telling anyone of her discovery seems stupid, and..how did Sarah got infected? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted January 12, 2014 Author Share Posted January 12, 2014 How did you already saw Ep 3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted January 12, 2014 Author Share Posted January 12, 2014 Sarah isn't infected so far. At least not in the 2 episodes I saw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorWho Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 How did you already saw Ep 3? The pilot was 2 hourd, so it's considered 2 episodes. On iTunes you can buy eps1 and 2 (the pilot) + 3. it's also available on Demand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorWho Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) Sarah isn't infected so far. At least not in the 2 episodes I saw. In ep.3 Sarah creates a fast detector of the virus, so they can teste people, and separate the infected from the healthy. In the end of ep 2 you see Peter kissing Julia at the end, and infecting her. They administer the test, but hers is negative = not infected. At the end of the episode, after they separated infected from healthy we Julia discoverez she is infected, and checks the tests again, she discoveres it did not work. She trties to warn the others, but it's too late, because Daniel (i think that's his name) blew up the Communications Array (so that Alan cannot call the army). Last shot of the episode we see Sarah undersseing and she has a big scar on her back, and it looks fresh. Also, her hands were shaking, she was sweating.... I hope what I wrote makes sense, because my english is not very strong. Edited January 12, 2014 by Doctor Who Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted January 12, 2014 Author Share Posted January 12, 2014 So next week in Syfy what will they pass? Episode 4? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4815162342 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Have this DVRed at home so no spoilers please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted January 12, 2014 Author Share Posted January 12, 2014 I didn't read what Doctor Who put in spoilers because I have yet to see episode 3, but I would like to know what episode will Syfy pass next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted January 12, 2014 Author Share Posted January 12, 2014 Holy crap episode 3! It was obvious the test wasn't viable since we knew Julia was infected for sure. Sarah doesn't seem to be infected so far. Peter doesn't have a big scar on his body. I just think there is some sort of dark past in Sarah's history, and that is why she is so nervous and sweating and shit. Also, WOW at the virus exploding inside the box!

CJohn Posted January 12, 2014 Author Share Posted January 12, 2014 Ep 3 was good too, but Boyle not telling anyone of her discovery seems stupid, and..how did Sarah got infected? Yeah, I agree, it was ridiculous. She should have told Alan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Stingray Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I like the location (The Arctic/Antarctica should be more prevalent in TV and movies), I like Japanese actors and I like the black oil from X-Files. But the show has a strong B-movie vibe to it, which I don't care for. And the somewhat hokey dialogue doesn't help matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Gary Scott Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Well I set the eps to record and try it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4815162342 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Just watched the 2-hour premiere on my DVR. Solid start with some very good atmospheric tension scenes. I do like that they got out of the way the fact that there's a conspiracy/Big Bad behind the virus in the first episode and are now slowly revealing the "man behind the curtain" bit by bit.The preview following the premiere indicates things may end up degenerating Resident Evil-style.Will wait for Friday for Episode 3.

DeeCee Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I haven't read any posts here and have only watched the first episode but the hello Benjamin Button monkey scene rivalled the best of Fifield and Millburn in Prometheus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4815162342 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Third episode brought some nice twists and curves.Sarah doesn't appear to be infected, it just seems like some unrelated physical trauma she had in the past (the scar is right along her spine).

kjtocool Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 This show has some great production for being on SyFy. The story still suffers from a lot of WTF are you doing moments, but I've been able to look past them so far. I'll keep up with it on demand.

Michael Gary Scott Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Caught up and really enjoyed it and I know the Japanese guy from somewhere just cant place it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4815162342 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Two big things in the final minutes. Army guy kills blondie to prevent the info of the viral genetic delivery from getting to Alan. And Hataki is clearly some form of master carrier, it's the only explanation for why that Vector didn't make a move on him.Though I suppose a Hiroyuki Sanada death stare has enough badassery to make a Vector poop its pants in fear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The obvious logic explanation. It probably has something to do with his shiny eyes we saw in episode 2 or 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
