DJariya, did they move nights or are they just taking a week off? I was looking for next week's episode to set it to record and couldn't find it.

Taking a week off because of Labor Day. Also, SyFy revised the episode count, it's now 11.
The season finale is now scheduled for September 26th.

This show is getting all kinds of guest stars.
I'm about ready to watch this show in HD. It's not the best show, but it's fun.

Good to have Garret Dillahunt back as a psychopath.I liked this episode. Dillahunt was cool as the Alpha of the week and a David Koresh-like cult leader.
And damn, Cameron and Nina were getting alot of action in this one.
Rosen shooting him the in the cheek at the end was a suprise.

Not sure why he had to shoot him. Why not hit him with the gun, tackle him, or any of 100 different ways to distract him? I mean I understand that the writers introduced at the beginning of this episode that Rosen was against guns. However the conclusion of the episode was put together kind of lame to get Rosen to actually throwout all his principles and shoot the guy. He could of gave a shot to the ex-FBI and given him the gun.

What are the odds that one Alpha would stumble upon another alpha at an AA meeting. At least attempt to explain it .... like he is drawn to other alphas or some other cosmic bullshit. At least try.
I also though it was funny everyone at the compound was gardening in white clothes and nobody got dirty. Nary a grass stain.
Dillahunt has become a great character actor. I am surprised by him in nearly every role.
Although I have warmed up to the show, I can't help but make fun of it at the same time. The show takes it self so seriously and yet is laughably flawed.
I have more fun thinking about this show than watching it
