Friday the 13th: The Series Ep. 12 Faith Healer Review

Faith Healer originally aired on February 8, 1988. This was a pretty offensive episode if you ask me. I don't support televised faith healers by any stretch, but the episode seemed like an attack against Christianity in general. True Christians do not act the way that the faith healer does in this episode. The object in this episode was a white glove which could heal any sickness by getting the sickness onto the glove. The wearer then has to find someone else to put the sickness onto which amplifies the sickness ten-fold and automatically kills the person. If the glove is worn too long without getting rid of the illness, it kills the wearer instantly. It was great to have Jack back in this episode. Quite funny how one of his closest friends tried to murder him. It's deep stuff and Jack's line reading about how Lewis and his other friend both screwed him over is simply hilarious. The show is really deep, but it brought back the quirky moments in this episode. In all honesty, I would tell everyone to skip this episode.
