Friday the 13th: The Series Ep. 51 The Prisoner Review

The Prisoner originally aired on June 5, 1989. This episode was uneven. The villain didn't make much sense to be perfectly honest. The villain gets caught repeatedly inside the jail with a weapon by the guards. If he was caught once, he would have had his weapon confiscated, meaning he wouldn't have been able to kill more people which makes the entire episode completely irrelevant. This is Johnny's second appearance and he is convicted of the death of his father and spends the entire episode in jail. He didn't do it. Our invisible villain did. The cursed antique is a WWII jacket which, after having blood get on it after someone dies, allows it's wearer to walk around invisible anywhere he/she wants to go. He can just put it off to I was in my cell the whole time sleeping. It is weak that he can continually kill people with weapons in the jail considering he wouldn't be allowed to have ANY after he had been caught. BUT his death is awesome. He is invisible, so Johnny pours gasoline over him and then lights him on fire. It's a spectacular ending and worth watching for that alone even though there are plenty of plot holes in this episode.
