Future Tense: What do you think of it?

[The Joker]

Call me crazy, but I've always considered this episode of be one of the creepiest - maybe even THE creepiest - episode of the entire series. When I watched it for the first time last year the whole feel of the episode gave me the chills. It was great how they managed to deal with the subject of the GBs being destroyed in an abstract manner - for example, instead of having them being chased by ghosts wearing proton packs or something like that, actually showing them being destroyed (although it's partially depicted off-screen) and having the GBs needing to stop that from happening. There were also some great directional bits as well - Ray alone on the couch watching TV at night, then the creepy music cutting in and him hearing the guy's voices on the TV really gave an unsettling feel to the proceedings.

What do you people think? Am I crazy, or do I actually have a point?

I don't remember the details very clearly, I'll admit (I don't think I've seen it since it first aired like fifteen years ago) but definitely remember being impressed by it--considering it a delightful break from the crap like "The Magnificent Five" that was being shoveled on us in those later years.

Eh, I didn't rally care for Future Tense as much as say The Brooklyn Triangle (Which came before it on my TV recorded VHS), FT just seemed a little tired, animation wasn't as good as it used to be and some of the points of the story seemed a little weak...but it's been a while since I actually sat down to watch it, maybe one of these days I should do that for all my RGB eps, good and bad.

[Miss Janine]

One of my favorites. I like the lengths Ray went to to convince the others of what he saw, and how it was Peter who actually saved their butts in the end. And seeing Egon in the robe, with his hair messed up like that...where the heck was Janine???*evil little smile here*
