Syfy will air Alphas, a series about "ordinary people who possess extraordinary and unusual mental skills." It is set to air next summer. Here's the news story.
The stars are David Strathairn. That's him in the sidebar photo. He was in LA Confidential and The Spiderwick Chronicles. Other stuff, too.
Syfy picked this show over Three Inches. It was about a guy who can move stuff with his mind three inches. See, that's where they got the name Three Inches. He joins a team of good guys who all also have powers, led by James Marsters. Details about that show are here.
His mother was Andrea Martin from SCTV. She was excellent as Edith Prickley and in "Indira," a parody of Evita. But never mind that now, the show isn't airing. the pilot was filmed, and Syfy said it's not dead yet. The star is Noah Reid. He was on Strange Days at Blake Holsey High. But most importantly, he was Screwy on Rolie Poly Olie. I just want Screwy to work with Spike and Edith Prickley. He deserves that.
