Added Episode 2: Cause And Effect
I'm so late this series that I've already missed my chance at
catching Episode 1 on Hulu. I didn't hear any kind of promotion
about this show. It wasn't until I did research on Lindsay
Wagner that I discover that she plays the same character here as
she does on Warehouse 13. Watching the Promo, I'm very
intrigued. I will watch Episode 2 and see what it has to offer.
But first, I'm gonna hunt down Episode 1 on YouTube. Hopefully
someone has it up.

Well, I couldn't find Episode 1 anywhere on YouTube so I went
ahead and jumped into Episode 2 instead. What I saw, I liked. It
does have that X-File-ish quality to the show from what I can
tell based on this lone episode. I liked it enough that I'm
gonna run through the next few episodes and see what else it has
to offer. It's nothing original here for sure, but with David
Strathairn leading the way, I'm hopeful they can find their
voice.
As for this episode, it centers around another "bad" Alpha who's
ability is that of the Butterfly Effect, where he can use any
object around him and make it kill his victim in a series of
events leading to their demise. The ending had a clever twist.

Anger Management

Well, after having watched Anger Management which focus' on an
Alpha who can cause rage riots, much like that of Army Ants
attacking an intruder, simply by releasing pheremones into a
crowd, I'm definitely on board here for the rest of this season.
This episode was really good. The fight that goes down at the
Alpha Headquarters was brutal. The editing and film tint really
added to the chaos to give it that heighten sense of blood
curdling anger.
I like the cast a lot and their abilities that each brings to
the group is pretty cool, if not original. I really wish I could
find Episode 1 on YouTube.

The Alpha in question here is Anna (Liane Balaban), who's
ability is that she can translate any and all languages, and
ones that don't even exist. Thus the name of the episode:
Rosetta. As in Rosetta Stone. Get it? This looks to be ground
zero for a much larger story arc involving the Red Flag
organization, a sort of Alpha movement looking to take over and
control whatever within the US. What their end game is, I don't
know. Have to see what future episodes have in store.
I've only seen a handful of episodes so far, but I'd have to say
that my favorite character is played by Ryan Cartwright as Gary
Bell. I know him prior from his time on Bones and I was
disappointed they killed his character off as he messed well
with the cast of Bones. This is the first I have seen him in
anything since last episode on that series.

Interesting Alpha power where she can touch her victims with
"love" and then break contact from them by rejecting any more of
that "love", which sends their bodies into withdrawals and
eventually kills them. Also, this is the first epispde with
Lindsay Wagner as Dr. Vanessa Calder, the sole reason why I even
found out about this series in the first place.
