There was nothing "spectacular" about ep 8. There is a fine line between weird and artsy to utter garbage, 8 was firmly on the utter garbage side. Episode 9 was actually quite good, as was 7.
I'll be honest, I used fast forward quite a bit during 8, and end the end turned it off before it was done. Nice to see with 9…

I remember watching Ghostwatch (it was in the 1990's) it was scary and great. Wonderful Halloween programming. What we need to do is to have something like the old V-chip, instead, make it an IQ-chip. If your IQ is below a certain level, you can't watch said show because you are too dumb to handle it.

to your great Blazing Saddles reference, I will add in Bill Murray's voice
"Dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria"
Ghostwatch was great, it's just there are too many weak minded people in the world who demand that the world be made safe so as not to scare or offend them.
