Alphas: Season 1, Episode 6 “Bill and Gary’s Excellent Adventure” (B+)
This episode provides a considerable amount of back story information for a few of the characters whose personal lives we haven’t been exposed to, namely Bill and Nina. It also involves a whole lot of Gary being featured in hilarious situations, which is definitely one of the best, if not the best, reasons to watch this show. Gary not wanting to run after he just ate and flashing his badge resulted in him getting arrested for the first of two times in one day, and I enjoyed seeing him be referred to as Agent Bell, data analyst or just computer genius. Bill motivating Gary to find the phone by promising him that he’d let him drive was fun, and I liked that parting shot of Bill teaching him to drive right before Gary floors it as the screen fades to black. Cameron bonding with Nina over their secrets was a rare treat, though Rachel put a quick end to that when she walked in on them. The revelation that Nina accidentally pushed her ex-boyfriend to kill himself was interesting, and I’m glad that Cameron helped encouraged her to stop pushing the cop and find out what he was investigating. It’s good that Bill decided not to go back to the FBI even after he got an offer from the girl’s father to help him out, since this team functions so well because of all its members. This episode’s coolest moments were definitely Bill bursting through the wall and Cameron doing parkour to avoid Sarah’s bullets.
