Correct. Rove didn't want it to go global though, from another post he made. I'm just wondering what all this potential is he keeps mentioning. I would not be surprised to see an improvement in season 2 and we look back on season 1 as a mini train wreck at times that still set some things in motion and put some foundation in place. Or the show will just continue to be what it is and just be a time waster for some of us in the dead winter.
Yeah, I'm getting a little tired of team members disappearing for days and no one seems to care. Like Peter being trapped in the hole for days and no one seemed to have a sense of urgency to find him - the others just went on doing their work. Seems a little far-fetched that team members wouldn't be dropping everything and trying to find him.
Yeah, the baby is ridiculous. Trying to use a letter opener when no one is in the room? If you really want to get it out, freaking get it open. There is no one guarding them at all, get the damn thing open. Also, the transition of Julia to Ilaria shill that will give Amy immortality and kill the baby never made sense to me.
Yeah, if you didn't like it at all, don't bother with season 2. It reminds me of American Horror Story. I liked season 1, got lost in season 2's "shock and awe" and stopped watching after 4 or 5 episodes. I tried season 3 for a bit and again couldn't make it past the early episodes and never watched a second of the last season. If Helix has a 3rd season, I may watch a couple just to see if they get back to the good parts of season 1, but based on where we are, I doubt there will be a season 3 or that season 3 will be good.
Yep and characters are completely different, so much that I barely remember their names. Peter's brother the last scene? I know he was a little jealous of his big bro, but slicing girls necks in that underground birthing chamber? Or Julia, who watched her step brother die and had to fight Ilaria is working with them and is willing to sacrifice her friend's baby? Or even Julia's dad going effing nuts and trying to embalm Julia and having his dead wife and son at the dinner table? WTF was that? It is hard to follow a show and enjoy it when so many people are so completely different.
I didn't like the ending, mainly because it couldn't figure out wtf happened. How did Peter get out with the mother root when the helicopter just landed and he went I for the baby? Heck, why in the world would they have taken him. He killed tons of people including the coast guard crew and shot at the first helicopter. Anyway, the whole scene in the hospital was all over the place. It was just like the rest of the season where characters did complete 180s on their personalities within minutes. Not sure if I'll watch another season if they even make it.ETA: At least my theory that Sorin was Julia's friend which I told my son about ended up correct. Also, it was obvious when Sarah went in to Alan's room that he'd end up immortal.
Is it coming back next year? It's been pretty bad. Unless it has been announced already I highly doubt it gets renewed.
Well, I was assuming, I guess. I have no idea if it's been renewed or not.
I agree, I'd almost rather just watch a different show. I am pretty sure I posted this earlier, but this season reminded me of American Horror Story. I liked the first season (more than Helix season 1) and I couldn't even make it halfway through season 2. I at least finished Helix season 2, but based on AHS season 3, which I gave a chance, I have very low hopes even if it comes back.
It hasn't been renewed for season 3 yet. But with Alan, Sarah and Julia all immortal now, they really can do a time jump into the future for the next season.
Shocking based on the comments in this thread that viewers lost interest as this season progressed.
