3.0 out of 5 stars "A Life Without You Would be Unbearable", June 3, 2000

By 

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

This review is from: Beauty and the Beast - Episode 6: the Beast Within [VHS] (VHS Tape)

So says Vincent to Catherine as he frets over her safety after she takes on a case that involves organized crime. The episode has some virtues. There are some nice moments between Vincent and Catherine, and the villain is a little more interesting than most, owing to the fact that he has boyhood ties to Vincent. But it is not one of the more plausible episodes. In one particularly ludicrous moment, Vincent abandons a bleeding and unconscious Catherine (who has been shot!) on the steps outside a hospital so he can pursue vengeance on those who shot her. Wouldn't the top priority be getting medical care for Catherine? I would think that getting her medical attention would be more important than concealing his identity, even, if it came to that. How long might she lie out there unattended? Of course (as luck would have it!) a medical person saunters out of the hospital right after Vincent leaves and immediately takes responsibility for the situation.

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. "The Beast Within" finished 38th out of the 44 episodes.

I placed "The Beast Within" 38th in my own personal 1-through-44 rank-ordering of the episodes.

5.0 out of 5 stars The "Beast" emerges!, February 23, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Beauty and the Beast - Episode 6: the Beast Within [VHS] (VHS Tape)

When Vincent's old friend returns with a vengence he gets caught up in an investigation pursued by Catherine. Despite Vincent's warning, Catherine continues the risky case only to be shot by Vincent's enemy. This results in a harsh Vincent, but a sweet ending. Best Quote: "If you die, so do I."

5.0 out of 5 stars Great! Catherine investigates a most dangerous case!!!, May 15, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Beauty and the Beast - Episode 6: the Beast Within [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Catherine investigates a dangerous case, and Vincent is apprehensive of her doing this task because he knows what dangers might lie ahead for Catherine. This video will definitely keep you on your toes for one action packed hour of suspense. Enjoy! I loved the movie/episode, a must for any LH fan or B&B fan!
