Continuity: Before Det. Miller and Kreutzfeld go into the motel room to get to the vault, Kreutzfeld insists on Miller leaving his pistol. After he is abandoned in the vault, Miller goes to the book shop and then goes back to the Motel. At the Motel, Miller has his pistol back, but no one has been back to Kreutzfeld's to retrieve it.

Quotes:

Joe Miller: What about the Bus Ticket?
Wally Jabrowski: Not that useful. Unless you want to get to a little spot outside Gallup, New Mexico in a jiffy, which I don't.
Joe Miller: Why Gallup?
Wally Jabrowski: Why not?

One Room to all Rooms Mindblowing

The idea is old, some mystical event has happened in the past and some one (Hulk,Spidy,Deardevil) or a group (Fantstic 4) gets superpowers. But this series is a little different. Not people get powerd up, ordinary things do like a comb, a key, or a glas eye. Some with greate power, like stopping time some with less like only cooking raw eggs.

I think this is a great series which you wouldn't regret to watch, if you like that kind of series. i give it a 10 because it never bored me and was always thrilling. Some of you may think you cant give a 10 but you some people also gave a Oscar to Cher because for a short moment she was a good actress. and for this today i give this series a ten because in this moment i cant think of a better series in this genre.
