Jackie Bonsignore, Tara Erickson, Roxy Striar & Paige Kimsey finish Peacock and A24’s Friday the 13th prequel with their first-time Crystal Lake Episodes 5–8 reaction and season-finale review! The second half of Crystal Lake Season 1 follows Pamela Voorhees as the camp reopens, the bodies continue piling up, and the mystery surrounding young Jason, Elias, Bellflower, and Project Argonaut finally comes together. Jackie, Tara, Roxy & Paige react to Pamela’s increasingly violent transformation, Jason’s tragic history, the divisive explanation for his abilities, the bloody finale confrontations, and an ending that brings the series closer to the original Friday the 13th!

/ thereelrejects

Created by Brad Caleb Kane (It: Welcome to Derry, Fringe), Crystal Lake stars Linda Cardellini as Pamela Voorhees (Freaks and Geeks, Dead to Me), Callum Vinson as young Jason Voorhees (Chucky, Long Bright River), William Catlett as Police Chief Levon Brooks (Lovecraft Country, Abigail), Devin Kessler as Brianna Brooks (Godfather of Harlem, Juicy), Gwendolyn Sundstrom as Grace (I’m Beginning to See the Light, I Don’t Think I Believe in Love), Cameron Scoggins as Officer Dorf (Nashville, The Blacklist), and Hamish Linklater as Elias (Midnight Mass, The Big Short).

After the reaction, the four discuss Episodes 5–8—“The New Blood,” “Kill Them, Mommy,” “Friday…,” and “The Final Chapter”—along with Linda Cardellini’s performance, Pamela and Jason’s reimagined origin, the finale’s franchise Easter eggs, its connection to the 1980 movie, and whether the show’s bold new mythology works for Friday the 13th.

Roxy Striar, Tara Erickson, Jackie Bonsignore & Paige Kimsey head back to Camp Crystal Lake for their first-time reaction to Crystal Lake Episodes 1–4 on Peacock! The A24 Friday the 13th prequel follows Pamela Voorhees in the aftermath of young Jason’s apparent drowning, just as gruesome deaths begin spreading fear across the quiet New Jersey town. Roxy, Tara, Jackie & Paige react to Linda Cardellini’s transformation into Pamela, young Jason’s story, the premiere’s shocking ending, the escalating kills, the mystery surrounding Grace, and all the Friday the 13th Easter eggs hidden throughout the first four episodes!

/ thereelrejects

Created by Brad Caleb Kane (It: Welcome to Derry, Fringe), Crystal Lake stars Linda Cardellini as Pamela Voorhees (Freaks and Geeks, Dead to Me), Callum Vinson as young Jason Voorhees (Chucky, Long Bright River), Gwendolyn Sundstrom as Grace (I’m Beginning to See the Light, I Don’t Think I Believe in Love), William Catlett as Police Chief Levon (Lovecraft Country, Abigail), Cameron Scoggins as Officer Dorf (Nashville, The Blacklist), and Devin Kessler as Brianna (Godfather of Harlem, Juicy).

After the reaction, the four discuss Linda Cardellini’s performance, the show’s expanded Pamela Voorhees origin story, its bloody practical effects, the 1970s summer-camp atmosphere, and how Episodes 1–4—“Camp Crystal,” “Part II,” “Part III,” and “A New Beginning”—reimagine the mythology established by the original Friday the 13th.
