No one can accuse Helix of being predictable, with its gruesome or shockingly insane moments.

If only there were a better payoff.

Helixsometimes leaves me speechless, and I cant tell if thats good or bad anymore.

Its a real shame that Dr. Sommer was infected and had to be sidelined.

Landry being sidelined permanently, on the other hand, was perfect!

And who couldnt love the Quasimodo tribute as Landry ascended to the bell tower?

What could possibly top Landrys fitting end, bouncing and falling down the open stairwell?

Amy was his sister the whole time?

Oh,Helix, you slay me.

I can only hope Amy will meet as fitting an end as her brother, Landry.

Apparently Michaels quest for an immortal child included a birthing farm, where imprisoned mothers were given feeding tubes.

More shocking still was Peters releasing of one of the hapless victims.

As long as the season ends with a satisfying amount of resolution, Ill give it points for effort.

Until then, I will continue to roll my eyes and laugh at how charmingly bad this show is.
