Yes, Keith, it arrived on a solar flare, and jumped from one human host to
another to spread destruction. No names. Psych self-defense kicking in again...

keithbjohn...@comcast.netto : scifino...@yahoogroups.comi forgot Earthstorm and
Darkstorm. Wasn't one of them about a black hole or something? They were awful!
Oh--and do you remember that really terrible film with Sean "Lord of the Rings"
Astin and Robert "Chakotay" Beltran? It was about some kind of fire elemental
wreaking havoc. I think the damned thing came to Earth on a solar flare (or
maybe it emerged from beneath the Earth's mantle. Whatever). It was another one
with bad CGI. I told my brother recently that the finger of God writing the Law
in "The Ten Commandments" was better CGI than the elemental in that one!
