The Alphas get down to business.

 Review episode 2 – Contains some spoilers.


The alpha gang is moving into their new office, there is a new liaison and Doctor Rosen has shaved, the Pilot is a thing of the past. I thought that the series might be lots of Alpha of the week shows with a weak and distant season arch, but in the second episode they dive right into the overall plot. 

There is still an Alpha of the week do, this guy can control cause and effect, this basically means that he read the future around him and change it as it pleases him. It reminds me of the episode of fringe where Olivia believed she was Fauxlivia in the other dimension, chasing a guy with similar cause and effect powers. In fringe the guy could not predict Olivia’s reactions be cause she was from another dimension. In Alphas the guy predicts the outcome correctly.

Dr Rosen is left with a message, that humans see Alphas as a problem, and that they will try to eliminate this problem.  It feels quite a bit like X-men, humans versus mutants. I like this! It will be exciting to see what horrible plans the government has for the Alphas.
