Featured review
Very good up until the ending, but still decent
The episode begins with a bum named Ulric (the always reliable Joe Pantoliano) that is in a grave for an amusement show and he explains his story to us. When he still lived in the streets he accepted to undergo a strange experiment: to have the portion of a cat's brain that has the nine lives implanted in Ulric's. The experiment succedds and when Ulric reawakens the scientist shoots him in the head, and with great surprise Ulric returns to life without bad effects and then a carnival's manager thinks of how much money they can make since Ulric has eight other lives. However, fame, fortune and even a murder are along the way as for Ulric it won't be too easy to handle and he may just have miscounted his lives.
This episode was very good until the ending and I was even scoring it a 8. But the ending was a letdown especially when Ulric found out in the grave that the cat's life was counted as one. It could have been better if he would have found out about it like, midway in the episode. And the epilogue by the Crypt Keeper was a bit annoying this time as he kinda spoiled what we could have seen in the story. Still, however, an ok episode better than the previous one, ALL THROUGH THE HOUSE.
