ALPHAS

Checked out the new series from SYFY.  I haven't liked much of the SYFY offerings - WAREHOUSE 13, EUREKA, or HAVEN.  ALPHAS is a step above those shows but that's not saying much.

We have a group of individuals with special powers that belong to a unit under the guidance of David Strathairn.  Sounds like the X-MEN. 

However, unlike the X-MEN, this group's powers aren't so cool.  Seriously, who thought up having Malik Yoba break out into a full sweat every time he uses his ability?  That's not visual, that's just not hygienic.

Ryan Cartwright's power becomes visually boring in a hurry.

And Nina has been miscast.  She needs to be much hotter.

The biggest question I have is why would Nina kissing Bill prevent him from killing Strathairn? 

The pilot though is good enough to get me to watch the next episode.  I want to know what Red Flag is.
