 All right, I'm convinced at this point that Adam Glass should just not write any episodes and he's not going too for much longer Oh, that's a hot mug guys Hey guys, this is my review for episode 18 of season eight of supernatural freaks and geeks and this episode sucks guys Uh, we just went from a really good one back to a bad one We went from crap to great to crap again And I do blame quite a bit of that on Adam Glass Adam Glass at this point I've been writing for supernatural for some time. He started back in season six with a bunch of If not duds two and a half men all dogs go to heaven like a virgin Mommy dearest it all makes sense now why I hated that episode defending your life Adventures of babysitting party on garth from season seven. He just kind of sucks guys. This episode has so many narrative issues It's kind of insulting freaks and geeks is the return of the Chrissy character The whole idea is that Chrissy Has gotten in with this group of young other young hunters Who have become orphaned due to vampires and there's this guy called victor this very old weird dude Who apparently his entire family died and he's bringing them together to harness that anger And instead direct it towards training and their own studies all of that seems pretty okay Except some of the deaths are kind of inconvenient like when dean and sam come and interrupt one of the killings Vampire has no idea what's going on and what it turns out is that it's all this convoluted plot By victor to have had killed all of their families So he could take them in all the while making friends with a vampire and trying to take the moral high ground It's just so Stupid when everything falls apart at the end of the episode It's kind of like what the fuck did you think was going to happen? Also a little side trivia note the guy who plays victor actually voiced haythn kenway In assassin's creed three. That's probably one of the most interesting things I can glean to you from this episode the fights with the vampires aren't that great The acting is okay right when you saw the previously on and you saw Chrissy and you're like, oh, yeah I remember that episode. I remember that she wasn't really that good in it It's not much better in this one the chemistry between her and the other kids is okay Her and dean still have some decent banter. You're never too young to kill monsters Especially the ones that kill your family hunting isn't all about killing and revenge. I thought we had this chat last time Wow But when the episode comes to an end It just feels very flat and I do very much blame that on the dialogue from the first interaction that dean sam have Which is I have a note that terrible dialogue cast danger pretty good and and it's want to make sure you're okay What like my feelings? Why don't go get some uh herbal tea? Okay, you can find some cowboy junkies on the dial And you know what we'll just talk it out to the part of the end where she's like oh, he's like a brother to me Eden no I mean He's like my brother It's nothing like that and I'm like you like and then I'm kind of like Well, is she playing that off to try and be like no, it's not really anything to dean But then just how she delivers it it makes it sound like it's genuine And then it reinsinuates the fact that there is a relationship maybe there with He's like my brother It's nothing like that I don't know this episode just has so many boring factors to it that there's not many good parts to it If anything no good parts to it. I don't feel that anything really flows well in it It's a very rudimentary episode It has even less actual matter to the story than the last piece of shit episode did Very much a filler episode. This is an andrew dab filler caliber of filler episode So in the end i'm gonna be pretty brutal on this one as well freaks and geeks gets a two out of seven for me This was pointless and we would never see the christie chambers character again We would never see any of these kids again Also, I didn't even mention how just stupid it is that victor kills himself at the end Oh no Anyway last week You know, so how the hell those kids are gonna maintain that house. Oh sure. She turns 18 Who's gonna pay the fucking rent? But those are my thoughts about this episode very interested to see what you guys have to say Freaks and geeks is another episode I love in concept more than execution the twist of a mentor hunter twisting trauma and motive To the next generations of hunters is compelling, but sadly christie is the only interesting kid of the bunch Mainly because she established she has established chemistry with dean It's where when we have humans as villains is supernatural But it's even more where when the hunters are the villains of the episode. I love it for its uniqueness But it's a filler episode that reminds me why wayward winchesters need to christie as a part of the women hunters I can't actually agree that yes, this would have been a good idea. However, it was Absolutely terribly executed. I have one nitpick for this episode, but first let's talk about everything. It's great about it There's not a lot First it's always sweet to see dean and a big brother father role to everyone younger than him. Okay, I'll give you that I also like that sam was concerned for dean after his brainwashed bff nearly killed them Him then ditched him and is now ghosting him. I totally understand why dean didn't want to talk about it I find that episodes where the villain is just an ordinary human are very haunting and dark But also nice twists and are some of the more interesting great episodes in the season in the series And I can agree with that for the nitpick though It's really just the last lines in the episode where sam and dean say they should go get back to the trial So the kids like christie and others won't have to suffer the same more deals But that doesn't make any sense humans and monsters are where the focus of the episode And the reason those kids were correct closing gates hell the hell's gates doesn't prevent any of that from happening If it had been demons then it would have made sense But aside from the context that line sort of lessens what the brothers are doing. That's a really good point That's a really really really good point It was interesting seeing christie again And still living the hunter life and that she was working with the kids Other kids madison mclaughlin did a good job in the role I really I knew that something was off about the mentor victor from the beginning especially when he said he Said those disrespectful things about garth and bobby He was right about martin. I really love seeing dean as a big brother mentor figure role And here he's right what christie and her friends are doing is dangerous glad he and sam realized his truth and helped I was surprised but I wasn't surprised what victor did to himself after he got exposed even though they were still kids I get why dean and sam accepted their choice to remain together. I would have liked to see I've seen christie again, but unfortunately she does not appear in the show ever again. No, she does not She just disappears off the face of the earth episode an interesting premise, but ultimately goes nowhere Victor seemed like an interesting character only to be a complete evil mastermind If that had a speech ready and everything and also man the kids acting go from smug prick to bad not great Very much agree. I really don't get why the brothers changed their minds about letting the kids hunt The last one this episode is meh The episode exploring the next generation as the hunters could have worked If they did do if they did that If they did do that the surprise twist you could see right away. No. Yeah. Good point. All right guys That's it for me. We're now moving on to episode 19 taxi driver And I'm seeing from the reviews here that this one is definitely a lot better Hopefully, but at the same time we are now moving into the final five guys Especially now that season eight just took a dip again in the overall percentage It's fighting with season seven right now. That should be enough for me to say but in the end I hope you guys enjoyed this video if you did leave a like and if your interest more subscribe until then See you guys next week
