Gets canceled in 3...2...1.

 

**** should have hit the fan in the 2nd episode. But instead they are already putting in filler like they did with Stargate universe.

Don't get me wrong this show looks interesting, but its definitely not like how they portrait it in the trailer.

 

The preview for next week looks promising though.

 

It's Syfy. They are not going to cancel it. Warehouse 13 and Lost Girl have been on for ages, and they are not nearly as good as this.

Never watched Lost Girl, but I must respectfully disagree regarding Warehouse 13. But to each their own :)
She could cure me of any disease :P

I think Lost Girl is a Canada produced show and SyFi just pays to re-air it.  Where as Warehouse 13 (last season coming up) was produced by SyFy themselves same with Helix.

 

So far the two episode was pretty good; only time will tell.

Anyone catch episode 4?

I thought it was okay, but felt a bit slow. But then again, considering this show's plot, I suppose I'm going to have to deal with some filler drama in each episode.

Nevertheless, I still enjoyed the episode.

Oh and Jordan Hayes :wub:

It seems like a good show, but I am annoyed. Usually I watch an entire season after it has aired to avoid many cliffhangers, but not with Helix. Too many questions presented in each episode without adequate answers. It makes me remember why I stopped watching shows as they air...

Alot of progress this week!

Yes it was, definitely the best episode yet. Even so, there's still a lot more questions being asked than answered right now. With only 13 episodes in a season, I think they need to start answering some of these big questions that's nagging us.

 

Looking at the ratings, I'm concerned that this show might not get a second season (episode 1 had 1.89 million viewers, while White Room fell to 1.13 million viewers)  :/

 

Considering how few people even here seem to be interested in the show, I don't have high hopes unfortunately.

I'm still watching and enjoying the show but the dumb decisions of some of the characters was really taking the immersion out of earlier episodes for me.  Some of the over-arching story line aspects were also a little clich? and predictable.

      Really? Despite the memory price rises, nothing can kill it? I thought something would.

    • Poll: Grand Theft Auto VI price predictions, cast your vote

      Poll: Grand Theft Auto VI price predictions, cast your vote by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe After years of waiting, Rockstar will be solidifying the launch date of Grand Theft Auto VI with the launch of pre-orders next week. While the studio has confirmed a date for this occasion, it is yet to attach a price to the highly anticipated game. So let's see what our readers think it will cost at launch. The Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders will kick off on June 25 for digital and physical editions. Unless some last-minute changes happen, the release date will be November 19, 2026, across Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. Unfortunately, there's still no information about a PC version from the developer or the publisher Take-Two. Now the question becomes, how much will Grand Theft Auto VI cost at launch? The game is predicted by some analysts to be the biggest launch of an entertainment product ever. With the amount of hype that has been built behind it and with ballooning development costs, Take-Two may price this Grand Theft Auto entry differently from other AAA titles. The current price of a AAA game is $69.99. That norm almost rose to $79.99 before calming down. But with such a massive release, Grand Theft Auto VI may be the game that pushes the boundary again. It's also possible that Take-Two keeps the price relatively low to increase the number of players that jump in early and keep them hooked on Grand Theft Auto Online to spend on microtransactions for years to come. Keep in mind that the below poll is asking for a prediction of the standard edition price, not a deluxe or any other special edition that Take-Two will introduce for additional benefits. Also, there is the chance of the company splitting up the campaign and online portions. If you think that will happen, put your vote on what you think will be the total cost of the two. Poll Poll: How much will Grand Theft Auto VI cost? $59.99 $69.99 $79.99 $89.99 $100 or more Submit Vote If you have a very specific prediction in mind, sound off in the comments below.
