your team is more dangerous than the alphas they go after
Gary & Bill's partnership continues to be the best part of the show. I'm also really liking Kat; that aborted memory with the window-cleaner(?) was weird and unsettling and awesome.
Nina continues to be morally grey and unsettling and disturbed by her own moral greyness.
Plot A: Dude, Kat is awesome. That aborted memory was weird and unsettling and heartbreaking. I wanna give her a hug and reassure her that she's totally a competent agent! I also really liked Mitchell; he was very effectively disturbing in a low-key under-your-skin way. (Also, Alphas has the best guest stars.) (Also also [next week casting spoiler]Summer Glau comes back next week!)
Plot B: All the moral greyness. Just ... yeah, everything about Nina and Rosen and the choices they are making. That is going nowhere good and it's fascinating. I never would have guessed that we would have reached this point -- where Rosen is diving headfirst over the Moral Event Horizon while Nina hangs back nervously asking if he's sure this is the best course of action.
Plot C: I just really love Gary & Bill's partnership. A lot. All the little ways they don't quite know how to deal with each other, but they try anyway. Plus Gary's complete inability to understand or deal with his mom's situation ... That is also going nowhere good, I assume, and it's going to hurt a lot before it's over.
This season feels like it's gone by really fast...
