Reginald the Vampire Season 1 Episode 8 Review: The Odyssey

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

Reginald the Vampire Season 1 Episode 8 showcased the high quality of the present and managed to stability quirkiness and severe subjects.

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

Reginald bought put by means of a trial of feelings, all attributable to Abraham himself.

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

Reginald’s journey took an fascinating flip at the moment, and as an alternative of confronting his actual pals, he confronted his unconscious.

His unconscious introduced him by means of most of the people who he damage, save for Nikki and Claire.

His unconscious wasn’t managed by himself however by the vampire he was searching for, the legendary Abraham.

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

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

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

In a twist of occasions, this man become 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 actual 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 individual (properly, 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 bought become a vampire).

The dialog was bizarre and did not fairly resonate as profoundly as we thought it could, but it surely was crucial.

Reginald managed to come back 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 properly).

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 truly murdered Todd, and Maurice did not give Reggie any hints both.

Reginald additionally bought 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 individual?

We perceive the journey that Abraham put Reginald by means 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 bought).

Reginald now solely has 5 days till the vampire evaluation.

However, that situation took a backseat as Reginald and Maurice needed to take care of Abraham first.

Abraham discovered himself in a little bit of a jam: he had a stake that just about hit him in 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.

Because of his combined species, his powers differ from different vampires (like the time-freezing potential).

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

Luckily, he managed to take care of 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 and so they each die.

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

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

We missed Nikki, Ashley, and Claire!

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

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

We additionally NEED to be taught extra about no matter form 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 in the season, hopefully, we are able to discover extra in the world.

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

Hopefully, SYFY will think about the collection and provides it one other go-around, even when simply to wrap up the storylines early.

Only time will inform, however hopefully, we are going to see extra of Reginald in the future.

And hopefully, the last episodes retain the high quality portrayed throughout this hour.

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

This is the first time we’ve got seen any of the characters undergo any type of emotional progress.

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

We’d prefer to see that emotional depth proceed!
