Last month on “Rosetta,” I was happy to see Alphas introduce a main adversary in the form of Red Flag. However, "Blind Spot" wasn’t the best continuation of this mythology.

While it looks like Red Flag and the Alphas aren’t on such different sides – well, they never really were, right? It was all about their methodologies – here Dr. Kerns wanted Rosen to believe the enemies the Alphas faced prior were on the fringe, merely radicals compared to the real Red Flag members.

I guess he would have said anything to Rosen to get him on their side, or at the very least let him go. But Kerns’ power was awesome, wasn’t it? No optic nerves, but he could see using sonar, just like a bat (or a dolphin!). The special effects for it were top notch. as well. Watching Rosen’s face reimagined in sonar was awesome.

But what was Kerns trying to push? His goals were the same as Rosen’s, accepting Alphas, and he developed a vitamin that would allow the Alphas to continue to be born even after the genetic defect drug. All of that would be fine if Griffin wasn’t introduced.

With Griffin, another layer was added to the mythology, which was about the last thing that was needed when Red Flag itself hasn’t had time to come together. Whoever hired her for this job now wanted Kerns’ formula for the vitamin. At the very least, this addition could have benefited from some familiar faces and some clearer goals.

But there has been none of those. Alphas has mainly skirted Red Flag since “Rosetta” in favor of open and shut cases every week. Is it a nail in the coffin for the show? No, but having three balls up in the air for a series that still hasn’t quite figured out what it wants to be isn't a good sign.

If I were a betting man, though, my guess would be that Griffin’s clients are already on a side we’ve been introduced to.

Overall, Alphas has to decide what type of story to tell because some things are becoming increasingly hard to overlook, especially from a show that has almost finished its first season.

Other thoughts:

• I’m glad Bill was ready to ditch the minivan.
• Gary attempt to fend off Griffin with his DCIS badge was hilarious.
• I was hoping the thread of Rosen killing someone would carry through to this episode.
