I loved the effect in this show.The shadow effect and the death effect was great.People dissolved to ash.
Was like a creepy b-movie. #fringe

That's my two cents anyway. #fringe

Now, the stand-alones feel like filler. I mean, it's good filler, but still. If I want filler, I'll eat a bran muffin. #fringe

While I'm aware that some men will be compelled to emit a high-pitched scream at something like this, I doubt most would. Personally, I'd probably jump back shouting "holy shit", if anything.
Although the same could probably be said about quite a few women, in that they will not emit a high-pitched wail in such a moment of surprise. #fringe

On another note, I was quite impressed with the crumbly ash effects, even if the way they did Mr. Shadowman was a bit meh. #fringe

[wow. that was a long - and long winded - opinionated answer to a short question. sorry.] #fringe

Personally, I always think of the British film industry as a whole as distinct from the A/B Hollywood paradigm. Quatermass - particularly The Quatermass Experiment (original serial, not the film version), which is what I was thinking of, although I could understand if people didn't agree that there's a TQE feel to this episode - just wasn't made under that system. The BBC is, well, the BBC, and Quatermass was ... well, I could be wrong, but I always thought that, at least the original one was a *prestige* presentation, not a cheapie made to fill out the back half of a double feature. #fringe

I'm still waiting to the episode with the clip from the NIN trailer with Peter whipping around to keep from getting shot in the head. Next week looks like a decent bet. #fringe

It's possible that we'll see less of them as time goes on, or this'll become Fringe-standard: if you only care about the story, watch every other week. If you don't care about the story, same deal, different weeks. #fringe

And Lis Sladen must've been having marvelous fun. Has Sarah Jane had many opportunities to be possessed before? #sarahjaneadventures

They could have very easily had her deactivate the nanoswarm, since she shared the knowledge of how they were switched on, but instead decided to go with the standard "Luke pulls some random superscience out of his ass" ending they always use.
Oh well. It was still way better than anything from Season 2. #sarahjaneadventures

If it wasn't the Sontarans or creepy sorcerers, it was giant spiders or an evil fossilized hand.
If you haven't seen much classic Who, definitely check out Liz's swan song 'The Hand of Fear," where she spends over half the story wandering around a nuclear reactor while chanting "Eldrad MUST Live!" and carrying a sentient stone hand in a tupperware container! #sarahjaneadventures

I'm hoping the Mox of Balhoon will have a guest starring role at some point. #sarahjaneadventures
