Good episode but having Summer Glau guest star will always make popular choice with sci-fi fan but i wished she would of joined the team and Gary mother knowing what he does was a surprise i love Gary stood up to her. Her daughter was nice twist to story-lines

I really enjoyed this.  With Summer the plot twist, Gary and his $800 cab ride and the teams dynamic it was a great blend.  Summer being a full time character would have been fabulous!  She really needs to get back on TV perminately.

i am guessing they can't afford her because she is in demand

Enjoyed this, love seeing Summer, but I don't think having her as a regular would work, for one thing her power is too powerful.

How is she in demand?  I last saw her in the Cape...

Well i am sure she get lot of offers but it's up to her to take them.

I'm glad they helped Summer and her daughter to get away and destroying the coolest gadget she ever built was great

This was the first awful episode of Alpha only thing significant was the doctor shooting that guy who deserved it.

agreed!

Well we know every season of sci-fi show has at least one bad episode

What was wrong with it?  It was alright, I kind of liked that they all got sucked in in by the light.

If you have to ask than you don't share our opinion which is fine i think the thing was all previous episode were good and in this episode cameron decides to go to an AA meeting and find an Alpha at least with the previous episodes those Alpha were more impressive it just felt like it was lazy attempt at an episode. Do you really consider that a power?.

If he wasn't a religious fanatic, can you imagine what he could have done? he made them all basically happy little zombies, following his every command and loving it, even to the point of betraying friends, willing to burn to death.  If he was truly evil and used it to attack people, rob banks and other criminal acts, then you would have liked it.

Rachel asking Gary to be her date at the family event was amusing and getting her father to seek medical advice was hard work but asking her to check the mole was funny

Exclusive: Syfy Renews Alphas for Season 2

Alphas‘ Nina just may have gotten the ear of a Syfy bigwig, because the network has renewed the successful sci-fi series for Season 2, TVLine has learned exclusively.

“Alphas’ smart, innovative approach to a superhero franchise has clearly caught on with our audience,” Mark Stern, Syfy’s president of original content, says of the pick-up. “From the first-rate writing to the outstanding cast lead by David Strathairn, we’re very proud of what was achieved in its first season and look forward to seeing this series fulfill even more of its creative potential in a second season.” Thirteen episodes have been ordered for Season 2, to air in 2012.

Alphas stars Strathairn (an Academy Award nominee for Good Night, and Good Luck) as Dr. Lee Rosen, a neuroscientist/quasi-therapist who oversees a collection of “alphas” with unique abilities. Among them: Warren Christie (October Road, pictured above) plays Cameron, who boasts superhuman agility; Malik Yoba (New York Undercover) is strongman Bill; Laura Mennell (Watchmen) is Nina, a beauty possessing the power of suggestion; Ryan Cartwright (Bones) plays, young man living with autism who can “see” airborne data streams; and Azita Ghanizada (Castle) is Rachel, a gal who can super-amplify any one of her senses.

Season 1 guest stars included Lindsay Wagner (The Bionic Woman), Alaina Huffman (Stargate Universe), John Pyper-Ferguson (Battlestar Galactica), Summer Glau (Firefly), Garret Dillahunt (Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles), Rebecca Mader (Lost)  and Brent Spiner (Star Trek: The Next Generation).

After giving Syfy its most-watched scripted premiere in two years with its July debut, Alphas has averaged 3.3 million weekly viewers (with Live+7 DVR data factored in).

this one totally made up for the past lame episode.

Who was the chick gues star??

Rachel was the hero of the day and Gary saying he would duck and cover, protect and cover.  FUNNY

codebreaker

Good episode, Gary using the camera across the road was interesting and Rachel finding another use for a laptop was great

codebreaker

The guest star was Rebecca Mader and some of the things Gary says are amusing
