Friday the 13th: The Series Ep. 21 Double Exposure Review

Double Exposure originally aired on May 16, 1988. This episode has a few problems. I'm just gonna throw that out there. Ryan got over Laura very quickly. Considering he was going to leave Mickey and Ryan in the previous 2 episodes, it's odd to see him so quickly dating someone else. Not only does he date someone else, but this girl gets killed in this episode. Ryan is devastated, which is understandable, but they show writers built up Laura SO much. It's very strange because Ryan's connection to the girl in this episode is no where near as strong, but he acts as if it's the strongest connection he's ever had with a girl. I have a serious problem with this. This definitely messes up continuity on the show, completely muddles it all up. The cursed antique in this episode is a camera that when you take a picture of someone creates a duplicate of them. A TV broadcaster has been using it to create a killer that only he has a connection to. Jack in this episode has a duplicate made of him and for a time he's a villain, which is a cool twist of events. However, the duplicate idea just isn't cool enough to stick out in your memory. The stakes are very high, but that doesn't save this episode from being just average.
