Helix	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Helix is a 2014 Syfy Original Series, centering around Dr. Alan Farragut (Billy Campbell) and his team of CDC staff who have been dispatched to an arctic private research facility, Arctic BioSystems, to contain an unknown virus. Farragut and his team must contend with both the unknown pathogen and unforthcoming scientists reluctant to disclose the virus' origin or its basis in their unregulated research. Matters worsen when Alan's brother Peter, one of the first research scientists infected, escapes from isolation, while Alan's team begins to realize that The Virus not only grants Super Strength, but rewires its victims' brains to become a "perfect contagion machine."And that's just the beginning of the problems that Farragut and his team encounter. Arctic BioSystems is the cutting edge biological research facility, where humanity's greatest minds take advantage of the isolation - both environmental and legal - to perform the most dangerous of experiments in pursuit of the impossible - and the unthinkable. With stakes this high, everyone has their own agenda - including him and his team.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })While heavily advertised before its premiere as a fairly realistic horror series, or at least with some grounding in real-life science, halfway through its first season (around episode 7) Helix undergoes a drastic Genre Shift, centering around the virus actually being an element in a centuries-spanning conspiracy being conducted by immortal meta-humans. Basically it was promised and framed as John Carpenter's The Thing (1982), but quickly turned into a Resident Evil-style mashup - then at the end of Season 1, after so much buildup surrounding the arctic facility, they blow it up, and Season 2 moves to a remote island in the Pacific Northwest. By mid Season 2 it barely resembles what it was initially marketed as. The Chris Carter Effect was also strongly in play.The show was canceled shortly after the end of its second season. According to Aintitcool.com's report, the ratings were abysmal - so low, in fact, that they were below the threshold at which ratings can even be nationally measured.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })

Helix / int_18aff462	type	Artistic License â€“ Biology
Helix / int_18aff462	comment	Artistic License – Biology: Frequently, in spite of the attempt to ground Plague Zombies in epidemiology, using fictional CDC employees. The CDC team accepts injected RFID chips from a shared device. This is risky, considering that this could be a method of transmission of The Virus, and they don't know who are asymptomatic carriers, including the device's handler. Arctic Biosystems' designer lab rats, who lack sex organs so they're more docile, are a solution in search of a problem. Lab rats are already docile, and removing sex organs removes both avenues of study (effects on reproduction, etc) and ability to compare or extrapolate from research on non-customized rats. Also, a rat without sex organs shouldn't look any different from a female upon external inspection. Less than a day is insufficient time to determine, via rat observation, if The Virus is airborne. Even if true this shouldn't be cause to remove a Hazmat Suit, as it could be absorbed through the skin, and bodily fluids can aerosolize. Mutagens are, in and of themselves, not so disturbing to work with as Julia and Hatake say. They're used in cell biology. Alan is frightened that an infected Peter will be killed by halothane gas, and wants him alive because he may have developed antibodies. That takes five days, while Peter's had The Virus for three. Viruses are not typically searched for by shape, and when Julia says she's searched for all of them, "even icosahedrons" she's treating the most common shape as though it were unexpected. The Zeiss phase-contrast microscopes depicted can't produce such animated images, much less show a virus that's smaller than usual (viruses also don't move like protozoa). They'd need electron microscopes to see such small objects. In "Vector", Julia says rabies "doesn't include a compulsion to spread the disease", but that's exactly how rabies works. This error is odd since Peter's first symptoms are a supernatural exaggeration of rabies. His frightened refusal of water mirrors its hydrophobia, and the neck pulsations evoke the painful throat spasms that happen after those with rabies try drinking. It would have been more accurate to says that rabies does not include higher reasoning like deduction and complex tactics. Isolation and safety protocols are more talked about in the abstract than abided by. Isolation facilities should be larger and more secure given Arctic Biosystems extensive work with pathogens. In "Vector", Dr. Bryce is correct that he and Sulemani should be separated from the sicker Haven, since late stage infectees are super strong and violent. In "274", Daniel is likewise correct when he thinks the now-symptomatic Sulemani and Bryce should stay isolated from the asymptomatic in quarantine, and Alan's failure to account for this results in Bryce and Sulemani's deaths. By the same token, the fact that they move down from full Hazmat to simple face masks is extremely poor judgement, given the strength, speed, and determination of the Vectors to spread the infection. "274" shows that they can be slipped off relatively easily, and infection is a death sentence no matter which strain is contracted. Worse still, even face shields aren't employed consistently. In "274", the failure of the rapid response test is almost a Foregone Conclusion, given that Sarah sampled too few people to be assured of its efficacy, even given a limited population and time frame to work with. Down in the samples vault Alan finds a vial of Yersinia Pestis, and identifies it as the Black Death, or bubonic plague, with a note of complete dread in his voice. He seems to be reacting as if the Bubonic Plague is a apocalypse level disease, when in reality bubonic plague is now treatable with antibiotics. There are still outbreaks happening to this day, and while it is deadly, the death toll of the most recent outbreak ran at around 7% of infectee’s. The only reason it was so deadly in the 14th century is because there was no understanding of bacteria, let alone antibiotics or, you know, basic hygiene. They also name drop the Plague of Justinian, which was a biblical pandemic. It has now been found to be another outbreak of Bubonic Plague, the aforementioned Yersinia Pestis. So it makes very little sense to store two samples under different names unless you’re being dramatic.

The Instrumental Theme Tune is a jazzy bit of Bossa Nova that slows and warps to a stop while Bad Black Barf drips off of the "X" in the Title Card. Closed Captioning refers to it as "Happy Instrumental Music" In the pilot, Dionne Warwick's Baião-influenced "Do You Know the Way To San Jose" serves as musical bookends, as Source Music in the opening scene, Peter's introduction as an infectee as he's discovered by Dr. Hatake and his head of security, and as Background Music in the closing scene of Peter's first successful attempt to infect others as he circumvents a biometric lock to assault a lab full of screaming scientists. In "Vector," another bouncy easy listening tune in the same genre as the Instrumental Theme Tune serves as musical bookends, playing as Source Music during two frightening encounters, when Dr. Doreen Boyle is accosted by an infected Dr. Tracey, and in the closing scene when Dr. Julia Walker encounters a likewise infected Peter Farragut during decontamination. Subverting the trend is the music played during closing credits. It begins by picking up where the "Happy" Instrumental Theme Tune left off, and has the same instrumentation, but is instead tense with a rising background whine that evokes "Psycho" Strings before warping to a stop again. In "Aniqatiga", the precise, methodical, and very serious lab work that Drs. Farragut and Jordan are undertaking is accompanied by the light, airy, and fanciful Chinese Dance from Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite.

Helix / int_badfee0b	comment	Ominous Obsidian Ooze: The NARVIK-B virus modifies its victims' behavior so they become super-strong, paranoid, aggressive and biologically driven to infect others via forcible transmission, which entails assaulting and restraining victims and vomiting a black secretion into their mouths. The vectors also develop Tainted Veins as their blood turns black, and adding growth factor to a petri dish of monkey blood infected with NAVIK-B results in an explosive growth of black biomass. The black gunk is such an integral visual motif that it's featured dripping off the "X" in the series Title Card.

Helix / int_bbc8a85d	comment	Reluctant Mad Scientist: It's clear that some Arctic Biosystems staff are ambivalent and regretful about the work they've done, some of which may have been performed under duress. In the pilot, Dr. Peter Farragut makes a hand signal meant to indicate "danger" in his video logs while claiming he's excited to work at Arctic Biosystems, and "understand[s] certain things now." In "Vector" Dr. Tracey, infected with The Virus, rants semi-coherently about how she should have known that genetically engineering a virus would never be used for anything good, and, alternately, that it couldn't possibly be her fault, and there was no way for her to know. Also, in "Vector," after witnessing DeKlerk's capture, Dr. Graff grabs a snowmobile, and, when found by Balleseros, explains unregulated research has lost its appeal, calls it "an abomination," and expresses his intent to expose Arctic Biosystems. Balleseros stabs him In the Back.
