alumni72 I really enjoyed this program - I watched every episode. Until - what happened? Was the show SUPPOSED to end after less than a season? Did NBC force a show-ending episode where all the characters were killed off in outlandish ways? I would love to see this show come out on DVD - I would love even more if someone would bring it back and bypass that ridiculous 'final' episode. The episodes were well-written and the special effects were pretty good for a supposedly low-budget program. The characters were developed quite well - not quickly and superficially, but in a natural way that drew us along with the story line as it exposed each character's personality, past, talents, etc. - and there was a desire to learn more about the characters and their past, especially Elmer, the 'leader' of the group. But all that was sabotaged by who knows who? Was it the writers or the network who decided the show should end? And why do it in such a was that it could never be brought back? It seems vicious, as though maybe the network deliberately killed the show out of spite. For what, I don't know...but if anyone does know I'd love to hear about it.
skookoo Ok, folks. We have another one of those "supernatural" shows, trying to ride the success of the X-files. Sorry, fellows, even the current wave of X-like shows can't carry everything along. This one sank for good. The acting, which is supposed to give such a show a realistic feeling, is awful. The plot is... rock-bottom. The special effects, below average. Even though this is a low budget show, it could have been done better, much better. Do not waste your time on it. 2/10
mugsy-10 Although the show is interesting & entertaining as far as spooky goes, the idea of a great evil coming seems to suggest the idea that this show has to be complex & foreboding in order to be entertaining. I do not care for how Satori adds cultic & occultic practises with her "gifts" nor do I care for Elmer's belief of "we will be back again in a different life". It is one thing to have a gift but it is another to augment it with dark forces, and who wants to come back and live in this life again? Marian Kitt is a character that is more appealing along with Mark, Albert, & Warren. They don't seek these paranormals out which The Bible forbids this practise but the paranormal comes to them. I think it would be more cool if Mark uses his gifts to save patients & we see that more often & for the others to find themselves assisting heroes of other TV shows that are in dire straits where it requires an extra element of heroes for the "good guys" to win. That would be more cool. Even better if they can do it like the unknown good samaritans like Gary is on Early Edition cause they would look suspicious being in the wrong place at the wrong time in people's point of view but not in the others' point of view. It would be fun to see the Profilers think the Others are connected to these crimes & they wind up chasing them to get them but only to find out that they led them to the real killer(s) & barely escape their clutches like the Pretender. Whew!! Well this is what I like to see & that is entertainment to me.
RunningFromSatan Some may compare this show to "The X-Files", but I think that this takes the more psychological way out of mysteries, while "The X-Files" solves by way of medical evidence. Since tonight's episode was the first repeat, I thought I would come on to this board to review it. The past 7 or 8 episodes were outstanding, some of my favorites (and scariest) being the pilot episode, "Eyes", "Theta", and that one with the wallpaper (I forgot what that ep. was called). Julianne Nicholson is a great newcomer...I liked her in last year's "Storm of the Century", which I thought was great, as well. I also love the stupidness of Kevin J. as Warren...most will probably remember him from "The Mummy". Bottom line is, I hope this show doesn't get cancelled -- I'm glad they moved it from 10PM to 9PM, probably to get a bigger audience. It's a great show and should be more recognized.
