Premiers Jan 10. 15 minute preview looks decent. Will probably watch the premier at least.

i feel much stronger about this one than the original series that premiered last year in which i've already forgotten the name

1/7/2014 9:12:25 AM

i already have my DVR set for this

1/7/2014 11:01:36 AM

^ditto

1/7/2014 12:36:33 PM

I watched a pilot for SyFy about time travel awhile back. no clue the name but this looks much better

1/7/2014 4:05:49 PM

looks good, but there is serious potential (ex drama, new girl and ex-wife working together, etc etc) for it to become 90% drama-based


... in which case it would be much less interesting

[Edited on January 7, 2014 at 5:26 PM. Reason : ^much more interested in the time travel show]

1/7/2014 5:22:12 PM

Saw a preview for it during one of those pre-show reels at a movie theater. Didn't really look great in my opinion.

1/7/2014 5:23:42 PM

looks interesting. i'll give it a shot.

1/7/2014 5:28:29 PM

Hopefully he has a decent end game in mind

1/7/2014 5:48:40 PM

so... not a whole lot of conversation on this. what did we think?

they said "frack"

1/12/2014 12:17:01 PM

meh.

the previews look much better, but then again so did the teaser ads

1/12/2014 12:46:16 PM

i'll give it another episode or two

1/12/2014 2:12:52 PM

same here. besides, 7 of 9 is going to be on a couple of episodes.

1/12/2014 3:04:22 PM

I have seen better and i have seen worse. I will give it a couple more.

The Vets accent is probably the only thing really bothering me right now.

1/13/2014 10:21:43 AM

lol I know! ^what is her accent from?

1/13/2014 10:44:20 AM

I actually really liked this. One of the better SyFy shows in the last couple years and the production actually felt of decent quality. I'm hoping one day we'll be able to have another grand space opera, but I definitely will keep checking this one out until it eventually gets too stupid to handle.

1/13/2014 10:19:13 PM

the story is moving too slow, and the actors aren't good enough for slow filler scenes. i'll keep watching, but probably with a good amount of fast forwarding.

1/18/2014 9:57:20 PM

if it's too slow you're probably never going to enjoy it as each episode takes place over a day.

1/19/2014 2:37:40 PM

Like that boring 24 show?

1/19/2014 4:16:12 PM

Watched the first two episodes but I just can't get into it. Interesting concept but it just seems kind of boring to me.

1/20/2014 2:44:27 AM

^^that's an hour

1/20/2014 8:27:46 AM

they chose the format, and its slow and boring. there is just not enough story in each episode. i'll continue to watch, but with lots of fast forwarding.

1/20/2014 8:35:45 AM

my continuing on with this show will depend a lot on Jeri Ryan's character. If she's just there as another level of authority to keep information away from the CDC then i'll probably :eyeroll: and give up.

I am glad they didn't drag out the infected doctor's symptoms and make it a is she/ isn't she scenario through the entire season.

1/20/2014 8:40:02 AM

i missed episode 3 last week. can anyone fill me in?

1/28/2014 8:42:18 AM

episode 3 or 4?

1/28/2014 11:43:17 AM

the last episode was a lot better imo than the first couple... it bought another 2 or 3 episodes

1/28/2014 12:06:04 PM

i enjoy the show. don't know if its my love for ronald moore or what but it's intriguing.

1/28/2014 9:03:57 PM

I like it, it definitely has a suspense thriller quality to it that I enjoy. It has some slow moments though

2/2/2014 7:48:56 PM

Clearly it's a premise that should only last 1 season, 2 tops. Wonder how bad they'll try to stretch it out if given the chance

2/2/2014 7:59:59 PM

^I hope it turns out to be a miniseries, that would be the best... because this story and cast are not enough material for more than that.


even if they survive and go on to follow this virus and the source, or if they find some new virus or a big conspiracy...... yea I really can't think that it would be entertaining beyond that

2/3/2014 1:08:49 PM

agreed

2/3/2014 4:45:54 PM

did this ever get better or can I just delete it off my DVR?

3/30/2014 2:09:47 PM

if i'm not mistaken it went from a multi-season expectation to a single season "mini" series.

apparently not, it was renewed 3/28 for a second season.

3/30/2014 2:45:42 PM

I have 5 or 6 episodes on my dvr i'm tempted to just delete.

3/30/2014 4:54:45 PM

^,^^^ I called it quits a few eps back

3/30/2014 4:59:22 PM

it's still not the best show, but there's not much better scifi/thriller to choose from these days

3/30/2014 10:28:16 PM

so is anyone planning on watching season 2? It looks like it's taking place on a ship and some kind of tropical island. for anyone that finished out season 1 is this a continuation or a new virus/location/storyline?

12/16/2014 8:22:04 AM

http://www.cinemablend.com/television/Helix-Season-2-Looks-Drastically-Different-From-Season-1-68686.html

it's hard to tell how they are going to keep up the continuity. I'll watch it though.

12/16/2014 8:31:56 AM

hopefully season 2 doesn't have any terrible Billy Campbell whisper-voice, dude ruined season 1

12/16/2014 9:01:10 AM

Billy Campbell is very much in season 2. he was all over the previews last night.

12/16/2014 9:03:34 AM

I watched season one and have been on the fence about continuing to watch.

12/16/2014 11:00:54 AM

I have been catching up at work since I sit a desk and have nothing better to do than play with my hulu account

season 2 is decent, (decent as in Im going to watch just to see how the story ends, at which point I expect to be disappointed)
marginally better than 1, but its not worth the time to watch at home

3/17/2015 7:26:28 AM

the story is still progressing way to slowly, and the story meanders almost as much as LOST did

3/17/2015 12:50:43 PM

agreed but I'm still watchin

3/17/2015 1:51:21 PM

its getting weird up in here

3/26/2015 11:02:29 PM

I just finished it


huh???

wtf?

wasted several hours at work that I could have wasted on something else
