Over the last month or so, a slate of TV news has been coming out of the Syfy channel network.
First up is the announcement of some classic Syfy TV series returns:
Syfy channel’s present set of popular scripted TV shows… Warehouse 13, Alphas, Eureka* and Haven were all responsible for Syfy’s best third quarter in the network’s history by having drawn in 1.45 million total viewers between them.
(*Which still confuses me that Syfy canceled Eureka.)
Then for more scripted series news, keep in mind that Being Human is returning for its second season on January 16 at 9PM (ET/PT). And the new series (to Syfy), Lost Girl, is bringing it’s season premiere after Being Human, at 10PM.

If you caught the season finale of Alphas on the Syfy channel last week, you know what I mean by it being a huge story changer. But has this game changer come too soon in the Alphas franchise?
David Strathairn plays Dr. Lee Rosen, the man in charge of the gifted group of people. Ryan Cartwright plays Gary Bell, who not only has an alpha gift, but is a bit gifted himself.
Warren Christie plays Cameron Hicks, the man with incredible aim. Azita Ghanizada plays Rachel Pirzad. Her gift is the ability to by hyper-attuned to her surroundings. She can see and hear things no one else can. She’s a walking CSI lab!
Laura Mennell plays Nina Theroux, the woman who can exert her will-power of most people, to make them do what she wants them to.
Malik Yoba plays Bill Harken, who can use super-strength, when his adrenaline kicks in.
