Helix on SyFy

[buck1032]

Anyone else watching it? My wife and I have been since it started and we both like. The acting is much better than the normal run of the mill SyFy shows. To me it looks like it is the very beginning of a WWZ scenario. For those interested it comes on Friday nights at 10pm. http://www.syfy.com/helix

I've been watching it. Can't say that I love it, but it's better than the usual SyFy fare.

[buck1032]

I too cant say that I love it, but I am starting to like it more each show. And I keep coming back to the thought it seems like it is looking like the beginnings if the WW Z type apocalypse.

For me, the relationship between the base commander and his daughter is the most interesting. And what's up with the eye thing? But it is neat. Jerry Ryan being beheaded was...interesting.

I think we will see her, or at least her head, again. And the Inuit twins and sister seem to have a few possibilities as well.

[buck1032]

I think the eyes on Hitake and the daughter show that they have the controlling "gene/virus " in them. If you notice none of the carriers messed with Hitake or daughter. I think this virus was created for some sort of militarized aspect with Hitake in control of those infected. The curve ball is where the guy who worked in the cold room is shown with the Norvo virus and it looks like he is leaving the base.

[hipower]

Thanks for naming them. I couldn't come up with Hitake earlier. It's rough getting older.

 

I agree with your thinking on the source. I didn't know whether to laugh or gag last week when the infected were regurgitating into the coffee cup for the CDC doc's brother to drink from. That was quite a macabre touch.

 

 

15 minutes to go. LOL

Jerry Ryan is responsible for the rise of Obama

 

Jerry Ryan has been the cause of a lot of things rising in her career...but Obama?

 

I'm at a loss on that one.

She outed her ex husband in a sex scandal. He was the favorite to win against an unknown obama. She had it released during the election for obvious reasons.

[hipower]

OK, didn't remember all that. So she(Jeri) is indirectly responsible for the election of Obama in Illinois?

 

Are you saying that this was done to directly benefit Obama? Or just as an act of revenge/retaliation against her ex-husband?

[Alleycat72]

I think she was out to destroy the man she was divorcing. It happens every day. Unfortunately her vindictiveness handed obama the win.

[hipower]

It is strange and amazing how things we do in our lives intertwine and have such far reaching consequences.

Just to think that if Jeri had been more of an exhibitionist, perhaps we would have never heard of Obama on a national scale.

[Alleycat72]

Or just divorced him.

I guess she could have just shot him in the chest while he slept on the couch, but that's really only reserved for when a husband asks his wife to dress up like a hooker.

LOL!!

Good point.

Anyway, I did not see the immortality aspect coming. And that sort of shoots my WW Z theory out of the water.

Well looks like we will have to her and "punish" her with a silk whip. I'll go 1st then send her to you for "further" direction.

OH MY GOODNESS!!!   The Borg enhancements are really looking better all the time.

I like the show. It is produced by Ronald Moore, who was the man behind the reimagined Battlestar Galactica a few years ago on Syfy. It was absolutely superb. He also did a lot of work on a Deep Space Nine. His shows tend to be very good.

Also his appearance on last year's Battlestar episode of Portlandia was hysterical.

Remote research station in the arctic.  Rampant virus infected flesh eating zombie like creatures.  What's not to like?

Just another example of how Syfy puts too much weird into something. I see a storm coming right at Arctic Bio Systems... Sharknado!!!

I keep expecting to see the bodiless head of Jeri Ryan's character show up.

There must be some reason for the heads in the bottles.
