	Ah, but is did matter.  Brainstorm was the story of the unseen
consequences of a discovery.  The development of the story centered
around the everincreasing spin-offs from the single idea of recording
brain waves.
	Therefore I have a strong feeling toward the 'uncompleteness'
of the man-animal link, even missing a 'throwaway' comment such as;
'Well, not it in the records, regardless.'
	Nuff said, I guess if I didn't like the film so much I would
care so much for it's flaws.
