Looks like the pilot for “Alphas” impressed SyFy.
The network has given the green light for eleven more episodes. Those eleven plus the pilot would make for a 13-episode first season.
The series follows a team of ordinary citizens whose brain anomalies imbue them with extraordinary mental and physical abilities. Taking the law into their own hands, the unlikely team, led by Dr. Lee Rosen (David Strathairn) investigates cases that suggest other Alpha activity to uncover what the CIA, FBI and Pentagon have not been able or willing to solve. These gifted individuals must balance their quirky personalities and disparate backgrounds with their not always visible powers as they work to solve crimes, stop the ticking time bomb and catch the enemy.
Filming is set to begin early next year and the series will debut next summer.
This was an unaired pilot then, yeah?
Sounds like....
Sounds to me like a more modern and expanded version of "Misfits of Science". But that's okay. I really liked that show. And I'm really looking forward to this one.
Great, more "mutants with super powers" schtick.... way to go out on a limb.
