That looks like it's going to be a poorly re-imagined Andromeda Strain miniseries.
That promo isn't even a promo. It's just namedropping. And it's not like it's even impressive names they're dropping. I fear they have bupkis.
But if they break into the temple of the elder ones and some shubs start eating faces, DO TELL!

It cant be good that I found myself rewinding just because I was getting the dull characters confused with one another. I'll give it a couple episodes but only because there is nothing else to watch.
I will say that I got a twinge of nostalgia for "Sci-Fi Fridays" with this airing last night which only made me angry when I think back to how amazing some of the earliest SciFi original programming was and how much they fucked up in their current SyFy incarnation. Ahhh Farscape, how I miss thee.

Everyone dies to the virus and the two cute chicks are left at the base. In order to save the world they have to put on some thongs and sports bras and lez it out in order to cure themselves.
We dvr'd the episodes yesterday or whatever and watched them during dinner tonight, the comments above express exactly what the show has been like so far. I just don't find it very interesting and catchy, few cool scenes but everything else makes them pointless for me. Got up and started washing dishes right after the man sized air ducts and why the fuck didn't that P-trap have water in it???

"According to Porsandeh, Helix will not make use of flashback scenes to give details about character backstories, the way the scifi series Lost did. Instead, a key point is that viral infection will at times make characters feverish and hallucinate (which is a real-life symptom of several infections). Thus certain characters will at times experience hallucinations, i.e. reliving particularly traumatic past events. The distinction Porsandeh pointed out is that a flashback is presented as objectively true, while the hallucination scenes in Helix are presented from the characters' feverish hallucinatory states, and thus their unreliable narration will contain several errors which do not match events as they actually occurred."

lol. I dunno about this shit. I'm watching it, but I'm not sure how closely because I can barely remember any of the characters names besides Peter and Jessica. Peter because he's the mutant and Jessica because she's obviously had some kind of work done on her that I'm sure will be the reason she never gets infected.
