Alphas' Season 2 Finale: When the Lights Go Down in the City

Season 2 concluded with a bizarre set of events, a ghost, and a city-wide nap in what was ultimately a disappointing finale.

What a great show :)

9.5

By olafweyer, Mar 04, 2013

I just saw my first episode of the show, the pilot episode and i think it's just awesome. Close-to-home production design and very natural, non-techie dialogues spoken by real people, not just set-of-charateristics, uhm, -characters. Homeland comes to mind, although it's a bit more flashy, on the other end of the spectrum is Nikita, which could profit from a "more real" approach and then there is "Suits" which is flashy also, but that's because those are the realms of the stinking rich, lol.moreless

Alphas+X-MEN= A-MEN

9.0

By JimGeor, Feb 02, 2013

What I've realised from the series (which was great btw):

Dr. Lee Rosen=Prof. Xavier (the Professor)

Gary Bell=Beast (the brain)

Cameron Hicks=Wolverine (the bad boy)

Rachel Pirzad=Storm (the compassionate one)

Nina Theroux=Jean Grey (the troubled girl)

Bill Harken=Cyclops (the muscle)

Stanton Parish=Magneto (the friend and foe)

Kat=Shadowcat (the young one)

Cornell Scipio=Pyro (the right hand)

Danielle Sophia Rosen=Mystique (the good and the bad one)

What do you think?

Damnit..

7.0

By DaveKuyp, Jan 24, 2013

I'm not a big fan of happy endings, but this one seems a bit much even to me... Seeing as Alphas wouldn't die from the flashes (and if everything they've said untill now is true) we can conclude that Rosen and most of the people in the station are dead while the team and a few other 'new' Alphas survived...

So yeah, damnit.. The ending of this show would have made a better start of a new show than the start we were given, but he... Cancellation bites... Seeing as an Alpha jut killed hundreds (probably around a thousand) people, I wanted to see how the world would react.. Shame...moreless

But the real question is.....

6.5

By SlaterDoobs, Nov 25, 2012

This series last few episodes seem to lack a clear vison of the future. The death of Rosen's daughter seemed to take the scriptwriters by surprise.

The series end did add a little twist to what would otherwise have been a predictable ending. As indicated by others it seems implausible that all these characters have died, so they are most likely unconscious. So the real question of intrigue is why isn't Gary.

If the answer to the above is merely explained by Gary being autistic, so his mind does not work like others and consequently is not effected by the pulse like others, then that would be disappointing. On the other hand if the explanation is something more unexpected, then their could be life in a new series....moreless

What a way to go out for the season...

7.5

By rkoenn, Oct 31, 2012

I rated this one a 7.5. I don't know about others but the show seemed a bit disjointed. While it was all tied together on the mission to stop Parish for some reason it just seemed disjointed. The way the team reacted was odd and they didn't seem to exactly get it together. Rosen's part also seemed a bit surrealistic but maybe that was because of Dani's presence. Now Gary was fun as he always is because of his autism problems and I loved his various reactions to the situations he was in. And then we get an ending that leaves everything hanging. I'm not sure if this was renewed for another season yet but if not, that ending sure would be awful.moreless
