3.0 out of 5 stars Vincent Searches Below for a Kidnapped Catherine, June 6, 2000

By 

Alan Heuer (Los Angeles, California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Beauty and the Beast, Episode 20: To Reign in Hell [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Paracelsus (arch-nemesis to the tunnel dwellers) kidnaps Catherine in order to lure Vincent into a trap. Vincent and friends encounter some (perhaps overly) fanciful settings as they venture deeply below ground in seach of Catherine. We eventually get a WWF-style wrestling match between Vincent and a very large man as a chained damsel-in-distress (Catherine) looks on. What Paracelsus wants to achieve by setting up this whole thing is not entirely clear. Paracelsus' actions are particularly puzzling when one considers his behavior in later episodes (when Vincent seems to be the apple of his eye). "To Reign in Hell" does have some good moments, including some mournful ones.

In 1998 I conducted a poll among Beauty and the Beast fans asking them to rate the 44 episodes of the first two seasons on a 1-to-10 scale. 31 fans participated. "To Reign in Hell" finished 25th out of the 44 episodes.

I placed "To Reign in Hell" 34th in my own personal rank-ordering of the episodes.

1.0 out of 5 stars To Reign in Hell is boring as hell., February 28, 2000

This review is from: Beauty and the Beast, Episode 20: To Reign in Hell [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Paracelsus, an old enemy of Vincent's, kidnaps Catherine and Vincent goes in search of her. She is being held deep down in the sewers, a few days travel for Vincent. Most of the show is about Vincent's journey which is mind-numblingly boring. I found myself fast forwarding through much of it. Catherine is hardly in the show at all, and she is the main reason I watch. Please do not buy this video. It is sorely disappointing.
