Ok, one big change did occur in 1.8, but that concerned a major player who was just introduced to the series last week. It was satisfying to see Sutton garroted to death, especially after Alan and Sarah's attempt to get rid of her figuratively blew up in their faces and not enough in Sutton's to more than muss her hair. And, yeah, it was good to hear Hiroshi say we're back in charge, and with it the hope that we'll soon be getting some answers.
In many ways and with just a few exceptions, Helix is still playing like a very good prologue to what we can only hope is a better story beyond. Prequels can work very well, but only when we already know what they are prelude to. In the case of Helix, we can only guess, and not with very much information, about what lies ahead.
There's lots that's possibly good about this series, and I just hope that the upcoming episodes confirm this.
