"Perfect"

By TrueTvWatcher, Dec 11, 2011 Report Abuse

Walls was a perfect episode of The Dresden Files and I really enjoyed watching this episode because the story was pretty good and unique. It was an interesting spell with a dead thief's hand which allowed the young men to walk through walls, but there was a high price to pay. The special effects were great, the acting was good, and over all this was a very entertaining episode. I look forward to watching what happens next!!!!!!!!!moreless

"Superb"

By DERBEST, Jul 27, 2007 Report Abuse

This was a very enjoyable episode, mainly due to the story, which i found very original...Harry is visited by a student when he is not at home, and the student gets killed by a car...So Dresden decides to get involved, and he discovers a very interesting situation...3 students use an antique hand to commit robberies...But the soul in this hand uses them , and step by step 2 students die...Only one manages to escape, and is powerful enough to survive, and Harry takes care of the spirit, named Caleb...This was another opportunities for seeing memorable scenes, such as the one when Dresden uses some bugs to find out about the intentions of the thieves, and the on when Harry manages to kill the wax spirit.moreless

She was killed bya serial bank robber that just happens to be dead but is contrling three college students. She was killed because hse was going to talk to Dresden bout stopping the boys from robbing another store and bank. One of the boys is her boyfriend, the other boys just happen to be boys from very prominent families. The dead girl's boyfriend is only allowing the hand of the robbers to control him because he needs the money for his mother because she is in the hospital.

Harry comes across a bunch of young students who are also theives thanks to the severed hand of a dead theif who allows them to walk through walls at the cost of their health and ultimately their very lives.

Not all of the theives are in it for attention, one boy is using the money to help pay the hospital bills for his mother. Harry tracks the kids down and tries to get them to stop using the hand, but it seems the spirit of the theif is still inside it and has a strong hold on the boys who use it, slowly draining their life in order to come back to life himself. When all but the boy who wants to help his mother have been killed by it, the boy manages to resist the dark pull of the magic and destroys it. Morgan later offers the boy a job with the High councel since he can resist darkness and the boys mother is beginning to heal. All in all it was a happy ending.

This was a rather good episode. There was magic and good special effects. Not my favorite episode but a good one none the less.moreless

- Harry: (regarding Morgan) Well, that was different! He used the door. He... you'll see. (chuckles) Dante: So, you set this all up for me? Harry: Yeah. Dante: Why? Harry: For Raychelle. Because she loved you. And besides, we all make mistakes. It's what we do next that matters. Dante: Thank you. Harry: Don't thank me. Make it right. Edit
- Harry: (voiceover) Walls. They're everywhere. They define us…limit us. We can try to go around them, break through them, or give up and let them close us in. But every once in a while, if we're lucky, someone opens a door. And then it's up to us to have the courage to walk through. Edit
- Harry: (voiceover) Did Dante deserve to be saved? Well, Dante didn't steal for money or attention... he stole to help his mother. That was something. Plus, unlike his friends, he tried to resist the hand. And, bottom line, saving Dante was what Raychelle hired me to do. She paid with her life... and I was going to honor that. Edit

- The fraternity that the possessed boys belong to is Psi Phi Xi - the first two letters are pronounced "Sci Fi." Could this be an inside joke - an allusion to the network producing the series? Edit
