I could swear that there was some kind of "Prototype X-FILES" that aired on the USA Network in the early, early Nineties... the intro shows camera footage sweeping through some kind of cityscape (New York?) while spooky images and lighting effects were imposed upon the footage. I think it was about a paranormal research group that stumbled across stuff, maybe? I was a kid and too spooked to really watch the show but the opening fascinated me.

we hardly get the sense that he's fast because of the special effects used he's just replaced by lightning, whereas in the 90s flash, they had to use camera tricks and slowing down the camera speed so we actually see glimpses of the flash but because he's running in real time, he's just a blur, something we don't get in the new show because it's shot digitally, the episode cause and xs direted by danielle panabaker is actually good directed episode and shows off nora's speed abilities

Eerie Indianan, like The Torkelson, was never given a chance. It was the pre-cursor to Stranger Things.
