Reginald the Vampire Season 1 Episode 8 Review: The Odyssey

The seek for the mysterious took middle stage, and that quest put Reginald by way of some thrilling duties.

Reginald the Vampire Season 1 Episode 8 showcased the standard of the present and managed to stability quirkiness and severe matters.

Though the dearth of some vital characters was evident, the journey Reginald discovered himself on proved fascinating.

Reginald received put by way of a trial of feelings, all brought on by Abraham himself.

Reginald grappled with many feelings throughout this episode, and Jacob Batalon lastly received an opportunity to showcase his vary.

Reginald’s journey took an fascinating flip right this moment, and as an alternative of confronting his actual buddies, he confronted his unconscious.

His unconscious introduced him by way of most people that he harm, save for Nikki and Claire.

His unconscious wasn’t managed by himself however by the vampire he was in search of, the legendary Abraham.

Abraham arrange an elaborate maze to achieve him, and Reginald confronted every impediment with bravery.

Jacob Batalon’s emotional vary received showcased all through the hour, which solely received teased throughout his MCU tenure.

Reginald bumped into a person that helped him discover Abraham named Jenkins.

In a twist of occasions, this man became a pawn of Abraham’s and launched Reignald’s journey into the unconscious.

A mysterious elevator led Reginald to a number of areas, together with the slushie shack, the place he bumped into Todd (alive).

We do not know if the true Todd is alive, however this confrontation along with his unconscious made Reginald confront his interior evils.

Reginald admitted to his shortcomings and that he is a nasty particular person (effectively, not an individual. Vampire).

Reginald additionally confronted himself on the fated night time the place he prayed for a change in his life (and subsequently received became a vampire).

The dialog was bizarre and did not fairly resonate as profoundly as we thought it might, nevertheless it was needed.

Reginald managed to return to phrases with lots in his life: that he sucked as a boyfriend and that he wanted to cease wallowing in his sorrow.

This hour helped Reginald come to phrases with the vampiric change (that he hasn’t been coping with all too effectively).

Hopefully, Reginald will probably be prepared for the vampire evaluation (or not less than courageous sufficient to face it head-on).

Sadly, we nonetheless do not know if Reginald really murdered Todd, and Maurice did not give Reggie any hints both.

Reginald additionally received to confront his unconscious model of Sarah, which helped him come to phrases with what he did to her: however will he apologize to her in particular person?

We perceive the journey that Abraham put Reginald by way of, however hopefully, it interprets to Reginald’s real-life conditions.

Maurice additionally revealed to Reginald (and the viewers) that Reginald missed the evaluation and that Maurice needed to beg for an extension (which he received).

Reginald now solely has 5 days till the vampire evaluation.

Nonetheless, that challenge took a backseat as Reginald and Maurice needed to cope with Abraham first.

Abraham discovered himself in a little bit of a jam: he had a stake that just about hit him within the coronary heart, however he froze time.

Reginald managed to take away it and kill the would-be murderer, and Abraham unfroze time and celebrated being alive.

He revealed that he is not only a vampire: he is half vampire and half archangel.

Due to his combined species, his powers differ from different vampires (just like the time-freezing means).

Reginald discovered that Abraham could not change him again to a human, and he needed to come to phrases with that.

Fortunately, he managed to cope with it and vowed to beat the vampire evaluation.

Maurice additionally reminded Reginald that he is at all times going to be in his nook, even when Reginald fails they usually each die.

We’re thrilled that Reginald and Maurice made up and have become buddies once more as a result of Reginald wants as many individuals in his nook as doable.

Nonetheless, this episode had some lacking faces, and together with them would have made this unbelievable episode even higher.

We missed Nikki, Ashley, and Claire!

Ashley at all times brings unbelievable power to the slushie shack (and we love the investigation they’ve mounted into vampires).

Claire and Nikki received harm by Reginald in Reginald the Vampire Season 1 Episode 7, and we would prefer to see some form of reconciliation between everybody.

We additionally NEED to be taught extra about no matter type of supernatural entity is plaguing Claire and her mom.

The creepy aura that Nikki felt when she walked into Claire’s mom’s room must be explored extra, and hopefully, it occurs earlier than the season wraps up.

There’s clearly lots left to discover on this universe of vampires, and with solely two episodes left within the season, hopefully, we will discover extra on the earth.

Whereas the scores have not been horrible, the scores and viewership do not come wherever near the success of the lead-in present, Chucky.

Hopefully, SYFY will place confidence in the sequence and provides it one other go-around, even when simply to wrap up the storylines early.

Solely time will inform, however hopefully, we are going to see extra of Reginald sooner or later.

And hopefully, the ultimate episodes retain the standard portrayed throughout this hour.

The episode managed to maintain us entertained whereas additionally showcasing some nice filmmaking.

That is the primary time we’ve got seen any of the characters undergo any form of emotional progress.

Reginald grappled along with his thoughts all through this season, and we lastly noticed him come to phrases along with his selections.

We would prefer to see that emotional depth proceed!
