So these aliens are genuine? Naturally, we're used to seeing all sorts of strange and far-out beings in the Foster's universe, but from the outset it might be slightly harder to accept the presence of outlandish creatures who aren't actually IFs (if not put in context with the rest of this CN "alien invasion", I'd probably have assumed that these so-called aliens would actually turn out to be imaginary friends themselves - if not an outright hoax or false alarm - but I suppose they have played that particular card enough times already - Who Let the Dogs In, Land of the Flea, etc - so it would be nice if they had something more surprising up their sleeves).
That said, I have always wanted them to do an episode dealing with some form of the paranormal (the closest they've previously come was with that brief seance segment of Infernal Slumbers), though I would have readily expected their supernatural suspicions to prove groundless, as they did in IS. It's kind of hard to explain why it'll feel so odd, particularly for a TV series in which figments of the imagination are instantly transformed into living, breathing, sentient beings. Perhaps it's something to do with the strong emphasis it places upon imagination in providing escapism from the mundanity and problems of the everyday world - the notion of such anomalies existing independently from that might seem a tad disconcerting. Hmm, maybe that's not it...well, I guess I don't really know.
But, strange or not, I'm all ready to welcome this episode with an open mind and arms. Wonderful to have new Foster's on the way...let the good times roll!
