Helix 2.2

The central set-up is very strong, so much so that I almost wish the show had ditched Alan and Julia. Don’t get me wrong. I like both characters, Julia’s season two storyline is very interesting and this episodes two best scenes concerned Alan (one with Sarah, one with Brother Michael). And yet, in a funny way, it is almost distracting me from the central story at this point in the season (Peter, Sarah and Kyle on an island, investigating a mystery). I’m sure that status quo is temporary and will change before long, probably with Peter’s death. Which will be a shame. Loving the show with him and Sarah acting as the main characters. Wish it could last longer. Also, I hope we hear very little about immortals this season. It’s the main weak element of the series. 8/10
