Welcome back Alphas fans!\"Syfy<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Here we are in our fifth week of living the lives of Syfy’s Alphas<\/em><\/a>, learning our life lessons and experiencing the consequences of cutting third period science.\u00a0 Now, in the school system I grew up with, we got report cards every six weeks.\u00a0 So, since next week is the big week, figuratively speaking, let us start by taking a look back at what we have seen so far.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

HERE COME THE SPOILERS….<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Week 1: Meeting the Alphas<\/strong>
\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Gary Bell, (Ryan Cartwright<\/a>), Nina Theroux, (Laura Mennell<\/a>), Bill Harken, (Malik Yoba<\/a>), and Rachel Pirzad, (Azita Ghanizada<\/a>), are a professionally-close-knit group of people under the care of Doctor Lee Rosen, (David Strathairn<\/a>).\u00a0 Using their individual, enhanced human abilities, (called \u2018Alpha\u2019 abilities), they find and welcome a fifth Alpha, Cameron Hicks (Warren Christie<\/a>), who is under the influence of Red Flag, an organization that may or may not become the Alphas\u2019 main adversary in the season.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Alphas<\/a><\/p>\n

Week 2: Cause and Effect<\/strong>
\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Doctor Rosen and his Alphas track down Marcus Ayers, (Will McCormack<\/a>), Rosen\u2019s first patient, who is dangerously paranoid and a threat to those around him.\u00a0 Though he \u2018escapes\u2019 at the end of the episode, Ayers does his damage: he reveals a war brewing between humans and Alphas, and warns that Binghamton, a supposed \u2018safe\u2019 area, may not be so safe.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Week 3: Anger Management<\/strong>
\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Alphas experience a severe shakeup when Matthew Hurley, (Devon Graye<\/a>), turns them all against each other with his pheromonal Alpha ability.\u00a0 The Alphas also lose their primary handler, Agent Don Wilson, (Callum Keith Rennie<\/a>).\u00a0 Rachel finally moves out of her parents\u2019 home, though under worse circumstances than planned, and Doctor Rosen finally bends to the reality that his Alpha team no longer seeks Alphas to help, but rather Alphas to put away.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Week 4: Rosetta<\/strong>
\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

As the Alphas try desperately to fit themselves into their new roles, Red Flag makes a stunning reappearance in the form of Anna, (Liane Balaban<\/a>), an apraxic woman who forms a special connection with Gary.\u00a0 Anna finally exposes Red Flag as a real threat to the Alphas, and vanishes with an unspoken warning.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Alphas<\/a><\/p>\n

Now we come to this week\u2019s episode: \u201cNever Let Me Go\u201d, in which a quietly written story arc slowly comes to light.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Alphas<\/a><\/p>\n

A small football town is plagued with gruesome deaths, and Doctor Rosen brings Rachel along to investigate.\u00a0 A young man\u2019s suicide may have triggered the murders, but the Alpha actually causing them is well-hidden.\u00a0 Using their new DCIS badges and with the help of CDC Doctor Vanessa Calder, (Warehouse 13<\/em><\/a>\u2019s Lindsay Wagner<\/a>), the rest of the Alphas join up and go on the hunt, questioning everyone including the sheriff, the football coach, and the star quarterback, (with whom Gary accidentally and hilariously picks a fight).\u00a0 After nearly half an hour of horror-story-meets-whodunit, the mother of the young son is discovered as the murderess, blaming the whole town for her bullied son\u2019s suicide.\u00a0 Worst of all, the mother now has the emotionally-vulnerable Rachel in her clutches, and the race to find them is on.\u00a0 In a briefly emotional moment, Rosen manages to save Rachel, and the woman is sent away to Binghamton.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Alphas<\/a><\/p>\n

We have taken a step back from the curtain call of Red Flag last week, but with the rise of a new villain it makes sense that we would strengthen our forces and turn inward for introspection in preparation for the battles to come.\u00a0 This week\u2019s episode turned inward to the Alphas and the relationships they have to each other, as well as their relationships to Doctor Rosen.\u00a0 The theme this week was that of family, and we saw a never-ending stretch of its gentle, though sometimes painful, touch.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Forget hyperkinesis.\u00a0 Forget having the ability to see cause and effect.\u00a0 Forget the leader of Red Flag herself.\u00a0 (Well…no, put her<\/em> in reserve, don\u2019t forget her completely).\u00a0 There is nothing<\/em> more dangerous than a mother with the ability to love you to death. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Alphas<\/a><\/p>\n

Jessica Elkert, (Isabella Hofmann<\/a>), is a grieving woman unable to move on past her son\u2019s terrible suicide due to bullying and the various torments of high school.\u00a0 Though her first attack is accidental, (she kills her husband when she learns he did nothing to stop their son from being bullied), she manages to turn her grief to action and takes vengeance on the town. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The birth of her son, Chris, seems to have been her catalyst for her Alpha ability, and living with it for years suggests she had a pretty good handle on it until she discovered its vicious side effect right when she was weakest and needed help.\u00a0 Essentially, she addicts people to herself through an overdose of oxytocin, (the \u2018love hormone\u2019), and then harshly cuts herself off from them, causing them to die of withdrawal.\u00a0 Doctor Rosen suggests she is suffering from psychotic post-partum depression.\u00a0 It is this diagnosis that makes me personally raise my eyebrow at him.\u00a0 Et tu<\/em>, Doctor?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Here now is the quiet story arc that has its roots in week two of Alphas.\u00a0 The theme of paranoia that was so evident in the first two episodes of Alphas has returned in a much more subtle form.\u00a0 In my first review, I asked many questions about Doctor Rosen.\u00a0 Why did he form the Alphas?\u00a0 What is his connection to each of them?\u00a0 The next week, we saw that Rosen does seem to have difficulty letting go of past mistakes, (evident in Marcus Ayers), and that he does clearly see his Alphas as more than patients. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But of course, does he see them as the next step in evolution, or as people he has become close to?\u00a0 In last week\u2019s \u201cRosetta\u201d, Gary turned against Rosen for even a fraction of a moment, directly informing him that Rosen is not an Alpha, not \u201cone of us.\u201d\u00a0 And in this week\u2019s episode, Rachel confesses that she wants to trust Doctor Rosen, but is unable to decide if he only sees her for her abilities, or as the human she is.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Alphas<\/a><\/p>\n

How does Doctor Rosen view his Alphas?\u00a0 Slowly but surely, the Alphas are beginning to doubt him, or at the very least reveal that they do not trust him or believe him as much as he thinks or as we have been led to believe so far.\u00a0 With Red Flag looming on the horizon, trust is going to become core to the battle, and so far the bonds are shaky at best.\u00a0 Rosen, though presented with several opportunities to show his care for the Alphas, is almost always careful to draw the professional line.\u00a0 Though briefly and frantically emotional at the thought of losing Rachel, when he has a moment to tell her how valuable he finds her as a person, he instead withdraws and tells her that she saved herself with her abilities, implying that he did nothing of real importance.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Alphas<\/a><\/p>\n

Doctor Rosen is slowly becoming a very multi-layered character.\u00a0 His necessity to keep a professional distance and his theorized inability to let go of certain events or people suggest that he should put himself on his own couch and ask himself what he is trying to hide from, if anything.\u00a0 We are introduced to a new aspect of his life this week that we had not known before, and in this one sentence, a new theory is born.\u00a0 Rosen informs Jessica that he is a father. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

When we first met Rosen in his home in the pilot episode, he was alone.\u00a0 We have never seen any evidence of his family or his personal life.\u00a0 Or have<\/em> we?\u00a0 Again, how does Doctor Rosen view his Alphas?\u00a0 Is he their \u2018father\u2019?\u00a0 Or, given a number of clues we have seen throughout the episodes, could he be a real father to one of them?\u00a0 Start looking, readers.\u00a0 Piece it together.\u00a0 Start theorizing.\u00a0 (My money, just so you know, is on Gary Bell).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Alphas<\/a><\/p>\n

Moving on now to Rachel: this was a huge episode this week for her.\u00a0 The fallout from her explosive exodus from her parents\u2019 house continues to linger around her, even as she struggles through this coming of age story arc.\u00a0 She\u2019s taken a bold step forward, dating on her own to the point of even bringing a guy back to Nina\u2019s place, something that surprised me greatly, (then again, being on your own from your parents for the first time does bring a certain intoxication with it – even if your separation from them was not on the best of terms).\u00a0 We are also sadly introduced to the \u2018downside\u2019 of Rachel\u2019s ability.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Alphas<\/a><\/p>\n

her oversensitivity makes her extremely vulnerable to sensory (and sensual) experiences.\u00a0 She is unable to handle the heat of a kiss, or certain scents, or the sight of germs.\u00a0 It is a powerful burden for her to bear, and it serves to physically weaken her, even though her strong internal core manages to overcome it.\u00a0 Normally.\u00a0 This week, she was deeply affected emotionally as well, exploited at first accidentally, then cruelly, by oxytocin-emitting Jessica Elkert.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Rachel has suffered in silence.\u00a0 Though she is steadily growing more assertive, (she went from apologizing profusely for interrupting Doctor Rosen to informing him directly that she will not talk about something), she is also beginning to put a bubble up around herself that could become impenetrable if it is not stopped. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

There is a time to be quiet and a time to ask for help, and Rachel may not realize the difference yet.\u00a0 She has not been reaching out, and it has eaten away at her to the point that once she came into contact with one person who had both the motivation and means for her to explode, she did.\u00a0 Rachel told Jessica everything<\/em> – exposing herself and the others as Alphas, revealing her troubles with her family, and confessing that she does not trust Doctor Rosen as much as she would like. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Alphas<\/a>
\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

While it could be argued that she did all of that under Jessica\u2019s influence, it is suggested that Jessica really gets a hold of people once she touches them – and Rachel was already affected before she had any kind of contact with Jessica.\u00a0 We will only have to wait and see what kind of fallout Rachel has to deal with now that she has been exposed to what she can do when the pressure becomes too much. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Eventually, we hope Rachel\u2019s mother will start returning her phone calls.\u00a0\u00a0 Is her mother simply angry at her?\u00a0 Or has something happened to her family?\u00a0 It is a bit of a stretch, but at this point in the series, anything is still possible.\u00a0 The writers are peeling away the layers bit by bit and it is my firm opinion that these episodes are only getting better as we go along.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Stepping back from the family theme, there is another pattern that has been emerging through the episodes.\u00a0 This is the fifth episode of five to mention Binghamton.\u00a0 We have glimpsed the facility once, in \u2018Cause and Effect\u2019, (which is also where it got the most mention), but hearing its name every episode is beginning to raise questions.\u00a0 It has become a point to ask if this week\u2019s Alpha is going to Binghamton.\u00a0 Is Binghamton just stuffed chock full of Alphas with dangerous powers?\u00a0 Doesn\u2019t that make it seem like a breeding ground for Red Flag to move in on? <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Then, of course, there is also the question of what is going on at Binghamton.\u00a0 Marcus Ayers mentioned experiments, and Rosen describes it as a \u2018safe place\u2019 for Alphas to go.\u00a0 Contradictory statements only serve to heighten the mystery and brings up yet another question: if Rosen is working for DCIS and has his own team of Alphas, but honestly believes that Binghamton is safe – just how in the loop is he with the organization he works for?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Alphas<\/a>
\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This week, with all of the personal revelations and introspection, raised more questions about the Alphas themselves than their outside world, but these questions needed to be raised.\u00a0 As the season reaches its halfway point, the tension is building moment by moment with the writers leading us through a neat little chess game. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Next week looks to be a new set of rules being established, and despite the lightness of the title I suspect we\u2019re going to get a very good look at what the Alphas do when turned loose featuring Alaina Huffman<\/a> of Stargate Universe <\/a>in “Bill and Gary’s Excellent Adventure”! We include the trailer below courtesy of Syfy via Hulu for your enjoyment.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
