The Fades is a 2011 British Series about a teenage boy, Paul, plagued by pants-wettingly scarynote literally, for him dreams of the world covered in ash and ruin. While searching for materials for his best friends' amateur horror movie in an abandoned shopping centre, he stumbles upon much more than he bargained for: a crazed, dirt-covered man pointing a gun at him, a creepy girl only he seems to see and much more worrisome, a ghoul-like being that really doesn't look very friendly. As he ponders if his sanity has finally decided to fully leave him, he unknowingly involves himself in a struggle that may very well end with his dreams of the apocalypse becoming reality. The Fades are coming... It's inevitable.A link can be found Here to the program page | |

Anyone Can Die | |
The Fades / int_1237828f | comment |
Anyone Can Die: Established with the deaths of Sarah and Helen in the very first episode. Though seeing as this is a show about ghosts, death doesn't necessarily mean a character's departure from the show. Kay's murder at the hande of Neal, in episode 6, is shocking and brutal, as she's made it unharmed to the finale and appears to be the unkillable heroine. | |

Heroic BSoD: Neil, already under a lot of stress, loses it after two more of his partners are offed by the Angelic killer - by Paul's fault, no less. Paul may have slowly become more heroic, but with an ever-increasing toll on his life, and at the end of the first series, he is left in pieces after having lost his girlfriend. | |

Downer Ending | |
The Fades / int_4e3d253b | comment |
Downer Ending: Episode 6: Paul manages to re-open Ascension and thus release the stuck fades and the reborns, only to see the sky turn an ominous shade of red in response... (while elsewhere, the wounded and probably dying Neil mutters "I told him...I told him, you don't fuck with Ascension.") Plus the girl he loves got shot in the head by his former mentor. Her death only just hits him once Ascension has been re-opened and Mac and Anna ask where Jay is, and he bursts into tears. | |

The Fades / int_7286e96d | comment |
Idiot Ball: Neil following Natalie in the second episode. Only topped by Paul leading the Angelic killer to their current hideout, fully aware of who he was, simply because he promised not to harm anyone and only release Natalie. It did not end well. Despite Paul being their messiah, none of the Angelics seem interested in giving him crucial information or teaching him how to hone his powers. Granted, they don't know all the information themselves and some of his powers they have never seen before, but you'd think they'd at least try instead of leaving him to figure it out by himself?! | |

From Bad to Worse: The Angelic-killing Fade has regained full physical form. And now so has Natalie, and at least half a dozen others are in the process. And this form is apparently immortal.

Only, we then see the sky suddenly begins to turn a sickly orange, ominous thunder begins to rumble in the distance and a solar eclipse occurs... | |

The Fades / int_a4c37cbe | comment |
Mood Whiplash: The show runs on it, being a Buffy-esque merry mix of horror, fantasy, adult drama and teen comedy. | |

Butterfly of Death and Rebirth | |
The Fades / int_acedc6c4 | comment |
Butterfly of Death and Rebirth: Butterfly motifs are quite frequent in the show, from the moth puked out after a healing to the cocoons of a materialising Fade, and of course Paul's resurrection. | |

Light 'em Up: Paul has the ability to shoot lightbolts out of his hands that are the only known working weapon to defeat Reborns...and that can also forcibly reopen Ascension points. | |

Shout-Out: Boy, does that show love them... Ghostbusters (1984) Indiana Jones Neo, sooner or later you'll realise that there's a difference between knowing the path and walking the path. Healing with glowing hands while the surroundings shake, then spitting out an insect. Terry Pratchett Alan Moore Neil Gaiman A Nightmare on Elm Street Some twelve year olds overhearing Paul sees things: "Am I a rabbit? Am I a rabbit though?" Your friend is quite the mercenary.

Messianic Archetype | |
The Fades / int_c98b7916 | comment |
Despite Paul being their messiah, none of the Angelics seem interested in giving him crucial information or teaching him how to hone his powers. Granted, they don't know all the information themselves and some of his powers they have never seen before, but you'd think they'd at least try instead of leaving him to figure it out by himself?! | |

The Fades / int_ce75a983 | comment |
Screw Destiny: Well, let's just get that in order for this show to have a happy ending, the whole "it's inevitable" better not be. However, at the end of series 1 we see that screwing destiny may have unintended hazards of its own. | |

Hannibal Lecture | |
The Fades / int_e1fa333c | comment |
Hannibal Lecture: John delivers one to Paul, highlighting their similarities as the chosen ones of their respective people and claiming that while his killings bring life through the resurrection of the dead, those Paul destroys are dead for good, making him a bigger killer. | |

Creepy Crows: Dead ones. When the dead ascend they explode into flocks of bright birds including most the Reborns in Episode 6 once Paul reopens an ascension point - except John, who turns into fiery red-golden ones. | |

Broken Masquerade: by the end of Episode 5, people are fleeing town after all the disappearings, the killings and the ever-increasing tremors, aware that something very unusual and very bad is happening. Plus, Paul now has displayed his abilities in a rather public fashion. | |
