Doctor Caleb’s Review: I liked the story because I have always been like what would it be like to be an inch tall and this is what could happen. I also liked the story because the supporting cast was funny like when 1 of the characters takes out a cigarette and reaches for the matches but another character comes up and puts a lighter under the cigarette. My favorite part was when the cat loses interest in The Doctor and company because I got just a smudge worried. My favorite character was Forester because all he wanted was the money and he failed, furthermore it proves a point I made once ” evil always loses “.
Eggstirmen8’s Review:
This is a story that showed great promise during the first episode, but by the end of the second episode I had lost interest in the story. The technical aspects of the production were fascinating from a historical perspective. The storyline echoes some of the early concerns about the terror that chemistry could inflict upon us, while being a benefit if properly tested. The morality play aspect was a nice aspect of the story, but the story simply does not hold together well.
