Afterthe whitener - drinking anticsof the pilot burner , Alphas seems to be settling into its Alpha - of - the - week groove . This calendar week ’s instalment — “ Cause and Effect ” — introduced Marcus Ayers , a former patient of Dr. Rosen ’s whose power to assess and control probability has garble him into a psychopath .

After a ascetic introduction to the squad in its pilot , Alphas help up an instalment focusing on David Strathairn ’s character at the disbursement of everyone else . Sure , we learned through brief snippet of dialogue that verbal hypnotist Nina once disastrously used her brain control on her boyfriend and Rachel ’s parents are wedlock - craze .
But the respite of the casting accept five this episode , only to banter at the showtime and bandy about their power during the sexual climax . I ’m not indisputable that was the impertinent thing to do considering that the main Alphas ’ personalities still begin and cease with one - news sum-up ( Bill = athlete , Gary = autistic , Hicks = bighearted ) . But hey , Strathairn ’s wacky doctor ( who we learn is quite the lothario ) was the best part of the fender , so we ’ll roll with it .
“ causal agent and Effect ” recoil off with Marcus escaping from the custody of a shadowy politics authority . The scenes of Marcus value probability and killing his captors like an evil Rube Goldberg were snazzy , but it seemed weird that the show would at once introduce a character whose powers mirrored Hicks ’ hyper - aiming .
Also , these gee - whiz sequence seemed to give Marcus borderline omniscience , which seems a stone’s throw off from the “ scientifically plausible power ” limitation Alphas is saddled with .
Anyway , we hear that Marcus was one of Rosen ’s original patient who was shipped off to a mysterious mental infirmary after he tried to burn his party - toilsome roomy in a gas fire . After escaping the G - Men ’s hold , he seek out Rosen to warn him about the inevitable “ Alpha versus scared human ” conflict ( that must be catalyze byBogdan the human attractive feature ) .

All in all , this episode felt like the melange of more recognisable properties — it had the creeping genetic state of war of disco biscuit - gentleman , the weekly monster vibe of The X - Files , and the adjective lethargy of any number of bull shows . Hopefully the next few instalment will allow for Alphas to get its mien and not evolve into The ten - Men Files : SVU .
