Re:  Gabriel's post:

<<...Sure the music,dancing, background sets, computer animation, etc. was
professionally done and very nice to watch in ANY dimension. The problem
arose in how those 3D episodes were presented. The basic premise of
staggering the pulfrich 3d in 4 different segments was an excellent
idea and fit in well with the dream sequences. This is because if the
whole 16 minutes or so, was done in one shot it would have been very
tiring for most people. So splitting it up was smart. The problem arises
when those segments had only 10 second bursts or so of 3D...>>

That's pretty much my feeling on the show; sure would've liked to see more
since what I saw impressed me.  I guess the movement necessary to the
effect is limited by the narrative format, even in fantasy dream-scenes.
Obviously, I'll have to keep the pulfrich glasses convenient to the TV for
the 'unintended' effects work (I caught an opening shot to a Road Runner
cartoon that would have been great...)
