Tremors: Ghost Dance Review

Ghost Dance originally aired along with the pilot on March 28, 2003. This was truly a spectacular episode. The ghost creature, which in all reality is bacteria gone wild, is the MOST horrifying thing the series, both television and movies has ever come up with. The episode continues the story from the previous episode Project 4-12. There's truly a hidden lab in the valley. Granted, it's stupid, but it adds something new to the series which I didn't think the TV series would be able to pull off. This has been something I've been hoping for for the series. The way the people died from the bacteria sucking the water out of their bodies, it's so striking and gut wrenching to watch. It's utterly phenomenal. The down side is this was supposed to be the sixth episode to air...the station aired it second. In the place of it's original airing the episode makes no sense. Christopher Llyod gets introduced way after he's been shown, the prospect of an underground lab is completely foreign. Although, I don't know if the TV series ever had a chance, the studio killed a truly fun TV spin off. They did mend it however by putting the episodes in their proper order on the DVD release.
