Today many fans, myself included, rejoiced when in time for the season finale tonight, Syfy officially announced that Helix will return for a second season. In my opinion, Helix is the best of what Syfy has to offer. I really feel that television has been lacking lately in smart serialized shows, and the fact that it's science fiction makes it even better. Too many networks shy away lately from airing complex shows that aren't episodic or procedural. I love the fact that you can really immerse yourself in the show and that I find myself questioning what's truly going on, long after the episode has ended for the night. That being said, it's also great to see such as series, that as much as it poses new questions every week, it has answered a great majority of them throughout the story.

Helix has had many twists and turns and outright shocks along the way, and tonight is no different. The writers have done an excellent job of keeping fans guessing throughout the entire season, and the show culminates in an explosive season finale.

It's hard to say a lot about the episode without giving away spoilers. I won't reveal which mysteries will be wrapped up tonight, or what you will still be wondering; that would ruin the fun. What I will say is that the episode is definitely one of the best, and when you watch the season finale "Das L'ombre" tonight, you won't be disappointed. What you will be is waiting impatiently for next season.
