'Sister's Keeper' more believable than 'Dream Warriors'


You know i can buy the premise that a pair of twins could enter each others dream and unite to battle Freddy. Twins are weird like that ya dig? But in "Dream Warriors" they are asking me to accept that while sitting at the roundtable like "Hmm what do we do about this Freddy guy?" and one is just like "Oh yeah i forgot to mention that i'm the only person on the whole planet with an ability to link dreams" and they are like "Well thats great since we just so happen to be going up against an undead child murderer who kills you in your dreams" it's just a tad stupid per say and ruined the series. If they wanted to do linked dreams so bad they should have made "Sisters keeper" a movie instead of a cheesy tv spin off

Yeah, it really sucked out all of the grounded realism the franchise was built on.

I never thought that having Kristen link everybody together ('pull everybody into her dream') was such a big deal. The idea of secret dream powers was kinda cheesy to start with, especially since in the frame of that movie that it really doesn't do anything special except as a deus ex machina at the very end. It would have been easier just to note that everybody has that power to link dreams but they never know they do or never remember that they do since it's all a dream.

The twins premise makes more sense because twins always guess about having some strange connections regardless, so this would just be another case of that. That said, I do like how 'No More Mr. Nice Guy/Sister's Keeper' form their own little movie amidst the others in the series, and it's a bit of a shame that the show never came out on DVD to push it a bit further. Honestly, in my own personal head-canon, it's my view that the events of the pilot and 'Sister's Keeper' are the reason why John Saxon resigns from the force, and that the twin's father isn't the only high ranking police official that helps with Krueger's lynching, but that his death at the dentist's office mirrors Nancy's mother's death so much that Saxon breaks, sells the house, and becomes the drunken and broken man we see in Dream Warriors.
