Supernatural (2005)
Utter Intellectual Brilliance
As a writer, a creator of the unknown, I was completely stumped and dumbfound as I read the story line for this show. It didn't remind me of anything, because it's utterly original. O-R-I-G-I-N-A-L, and they said it couldn't be done. Only 9 or 10 story lines is all I ever heard. I'm shocked this story line hasn't blasted the theories of science since the beginning of time. It had one or two tints of color towards 'Altered States' which was the film that put Ken Russell back in the spotlight as a director. Russell claimed that the film had been passed on by 26 different directors (including Kubrick and Spielberg) before the author, Paddy Chayefsky, asked him to direct. William Hurt stars, in his film debut in Altered States, as Eddie Jessup, a scientist hell bent on finding the essence of human existence. At one point we are even asked to believe in the power of mind over body when Jessup regresses into a Neanderthal and goes on a rampage.
Fitzpatrick's character can assimilate anyone's DNA and relive a moment of THEIR life. Crazy-Brilliant.
