I wanted to create a new thread but i will simply use yours instead :-)

Syfy Press Release today :

Quote:

Fans of Summer Glau (Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Firefly) and Syfy’s high-octane hit-series ALPHAS will get a double dose of the actress as she returns as Alpha Skylar Adams in the final two episodes of the season beginning this Monday, October 15 at 8PM ET/PT. The thrilling and shocking second season finale of Alphas airs Monday, October 22nd at 8PM ET/PT. In the season’s penultimate episode, “Need to Know”, Dr. Rosen (David Strathairn) kidnaps and interrogates an Alpha prisoner forcing the team to wonder how far Rosen will go to avenge the death of his daughter Dani. Meanwhile, Harken (Malik Yoba) and Gary (Ryan Cartwright), desperately search for Skylar Adams (Glau), only to discover that Stanton Parish (recurring guest star John Pyper-Ferguson) has imprisoned her in a twisted form of captivity. In the Season 2 finale, “God’s Eye”, separated from his team and haunted by vivid hallucinations of his daughter, Dani (guest star Kathleen Munroe), an increasingly desperate Dr. Rosen seeks a final confrontation with malevolent Alpha leader Stanton Parish. Meanwhile, his team of Alphas, with Skylar’s help, battles both the clock and their issues of mutual distrust to try and thwart Parish’s deadly plans.


This is an appeal for a general mobilization to watch Alphas next Monday at 8pm on Syfy and make the finals episodes the most watched of the season.

Convince all your friends who have a Nielsen Box to watch Alphas next Mondays and season 3 is a go ;-)

There's no place I can be since I found Serenity.


I've watched every episode of Alphas so far, so I'd be watching anyway, although Summer's appearances have been an extra incentive to tune in.

BTW, I have never known anyone in a Nielsen family so how could I persuade them to watch?

Neither do i know a Nielsen Family, all the more that i live in France :-) It was more a prayer to the Gods of TV than an advice to the fans.

Syfy knows the only way to have decent ratings is to advertise Summer Glau's return on the show, hence the heavy promotion of her return tonight and next week :

Summer Glau has a new catchphrase, "Happiness is a warm gun" :

No argument here. SyFy knows what they have in Summer, she's the Queen of the Nerd/Sci Fi parade.

I just thank God she isn't on "Warehouse 13" which is stupid and should be canceled.

I agree with you but the audience prefers a light-hearted tv show with a clearly identified shipping (Castle anyone), to a brilliant show with many characters and more serialised story (Firefly anyone).

Still, last night episode was intense; Summer Glau delivered a great performance and showed a wide range of emotions, from being happy, to being worried then terrified...and Terminator : The Sarah Connor Chronicles got a shout-out :-)

There better be a Season 3 after that cliffhanger.

The season finished filming before the first episode of season 2 aired. Showrunner Bruce Miller had no other choice than filming the season finale as if there would be a season 3 (meaning on a cliffhanger), regardless of what the ratings are or the chances of it being renewed.

Even if the filming took place while the show was on air (like it happened for TSCC), we would have had a cliffhanger for creative reasons and to satisfy the ego of the showrunner.

It was an excellent ending. And, the music, The Only Living Boy in New York, when Gary was walking around 'alone', absolutely brilliant.
