Alphas

To introduce Cameron, and that was the moment their cases changed, wasn't it? Before, they'd been finding Alphas instead of actually investigating Alpha criminal cases, and countering Red Flag. Rosen pinpoints that fact.

well i think they were looking into some alpha criminal cases before but not as much.

Nah, I'm pretty sure he was complaining that the purpose had changed and that most of them were now out of their depth cause they had no experience. Apart from Bill.

so why were they going after The Ghost? They knew he was with red flag and was a criminal.

They knew that he was getting people like Cameron to kill for him, and also they'd need to catch him to save Cameron. Else he'd be given a suicide order like the 3 before.

yeah, i guess.

Really, "he/she is in Red Flag and is a criminal" is the reason they go after most of their targets

i thought you meant that they only starting geting into criminal cases after they met cameron.

I did I'm just pointing that the same is true of most of the seen cases.

All of the seen cases are after they met Cameron, im just saying that they were already looking into red flag and the ghost before they met him.

They said that Rosen had dealt with them before, and defeated them, which is why they hate him so much. He's the major thorn in their side. But I don't think the rest of the team ever encountered Red Flag. I think that was before he met or recruited them.

Wonder if they'll show more of Rachel or Gary's past in the next season.

I'll rewatch to check And I was just wondering if there was another second reason, or a reason why those particular members were chosen. Like maybe he thought Anna was a liability because of her friendship with Gary? Or he thinks that he could tear the team apart by doing things like this..... and yeah, it was really sad. Poor Gary

Rewatched it, and it isn't that clear, most likely being deliberately vague and mysterious. The conversation goes like this:

Parrish: "Well.... that complicates things..."
Danielle: "I did warn you."
Parrish: "Yes, you did."

The way he speaks makes it vague about whether or not he thinks it's a good thing, or even if he just judges it as interesting.

i saw the first episode the other day on syfy, dr. rosen does say that hes dealt with them before, but i thought he meant the team as i doubt he can do it on his own

and its apparently coming back July 2012

Maybe with another earlier team Half the issue in the first series was that most of them were really out of their depths and untrained for this kind of thing, wasn't it?

Cool

well anybody would realy, because they will all be new to doing that sort of thing. But i dnt think there was a team before this one, well i highly doubt it.

Wasn't there some sort of MK Ultra *highly likely to have gotten the name wrong* thing? Rosen was part of that before, and the old men who got killed in the penultimate episode. There have been a few hints that he's had a history before this team.

i have no idea

I'm pretty sure it got mentioned

23rd of july, i think it comes back

Cool I'm not sure if I'll be on holiday then or not

does anyone watch nikita?

Nah. I've heard about it - or seen an advert for it cropping up whilst watching something else, I think. Any good?

It's about a woman (Nikita) who was trained by this secret goverment organisation to kill people and do missions. She was the best of the best, but she fell in love with somebody and he got killed by the organisation (Division). She is basically taking revenge and recruits a young girl to help her, who gets into Division. So she is working as a spy, but then she gets found out and falls in love with one of the main guys within division and he turns on division and they are on the run. Its quite cool.

So loads of changing sides because the girl's fallen for someone? That just reminds me of Amelle's backstory in W11

well there was more to it than that. But Division also did something to the guy (forgot what) I think they covered up the fact that they killed his father and that it was nikita that killed him due to her being given orders (but i she never knew it was his father). I think that was the reason.
