ALL SCI-FI

[Bud Brewster]

I started watching the current episodes of this show recently and got hooked. It's an insanely cool series!

I decided to start over from the beginning, so I got the firsts three DVDs of season 1 from Netflix, and I've been watching them for the last few days. One thing I noticed about the first season episodes are the special effects which show Dr. Sean Murphy surrounded by floating graphics which illustrate the activity in his genius brain.

Both the movie and TV series called Limitless did this too . . . and I love it! We also see this in the BBC series Sherlock to demonstrate the unique mental abilities of the master detective.

Sadly, I don't remember seeing any of that stuff in the episodes of the current season, and I suspect the show runners got lazy and decided to save money by cutting out all those expensive graphics.

Damn . . .

Well, at least I'm aware of the fact that as the series progresses I won't be seeing those snazzy FX that would be just perfect for a Star Trek series that used them to give us a peek into the minds of the Vulcan characters.
