Boy Meets World Reviewed the Witches of Pennbrook
This aired on October 31st, it'southward a Halloween episode. I don't accept great memories of this i, simply it tin can't be worse than Who'due south Afraid of Cory Wolf.
Eric is trying to drag Jack out to a club to see women, and Eric's got his "I'm a existent wacky guy" confront on, so information technology'due south business concern every bit usual. Except when Jack claims that he'south "uncomfortable picking up girls". Is that so, Jacky boy? Your beach-chair-in-the-hallway from last episode with the sole purpose of picking upward girls says otherwise. At the i:20 marker, we're presented with Candace Cameron, who we all know as DJ Tanner from Full House. What the hell is she doing on my show? Eric tries to hit on her, but she's much more interested in Jack and introduces herself every bit "Millie from 3b".
THAT AIN'T FULL Firm. There are more hormones in this one scene than in Total House's unabridged run.
It cuts to Eric returning from the club later (lone, of course) and he immediately takes off his pants and heads over to his computer. ...Yeah, that sounds about right. But when he pulls upwards the blinds on the window (y'all know, similar everyone does right earlier they JERK Information technology), he spies Jack and Millie rounding first base on the balcony. DEFINITELY Non FULL HOUSE.
I remember they simply taped a piece of paper over that computer screen.
Eric, oblivious to social cues, decides to get out to the balcony to say how-do-you-do to Millie. This is a dandy example of what a terrible actress Candace Cameron is. She's some other of what I like to call "Eyebrow Actors." Do you lot see these eyebrows? I cut out the residuum of the scene there, only look at that shit. SIX eyebrow-raises in Ii sentences. WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS NIGHTMARE.
If y'all can't read those over-acting lips, she's saying "It's very of import for me to have Jack. Don't get in my fashion."
The next twenty-four hours, Eric and Jack are doing some stretching exercises in their living room when Millie shows upward. She claims that she was up all dark thinking about Jack, and he isn't terrified by that for some reason. She wants to eat breakfast with Jack on the balcony, only the boys were about to go for a run. Jack puts ho before bro, and nosotros remember that Shawn also lives here when he comes out to requite them "Rocky hats" for their jog. Eric heads out on his own, and Millie expresses interest in the fact that Shawn is "another Hunter".
Anybody watch Supernatural? Witches and Hunters? That's kinda funny. Anyway.
Millie has invited her gothy friends over to see the balcony, and no one has a problem with that. Afterward, Eric is watching a scary movie by himself when Millie comes into the apartment with a ready of keys Jack made for her. Is there an implied time skip there or is Jack simply insane? Either style, Eric tin can smell the problem just Jack'southward thinking with the wrong head, if you know what I mean.
Yep see these guys know how to utilize their eyebrows properly. Peculiarly Will Friedle, he's got that single brow raise on LOCK, at the very end at that place. Eric's character evolution is practically nonexistent this season, but they definitely yet know how to write his humor... except for the last episode... Anyway Jack's even so non listening.
Back at home, Cory and Topanga are discussing their weekend trip to Pittsburgh, to visit Topanga'due south parents. It'south like a five hour bulldoze from Philly to Pittsburgh, just Cory decided to buy plane tickets instead. Topanga is apparently terrified of flying and Cory sort of makes fun of her for that. It is not exciting.
It's Candace Cameron o'clock once again, and she's chanting some stupid spell on Jack's balcony with candles and scarves and shit. I but tin't have her seriously.
Why do they have a potted tree growing on their balcony?
Eric overhears Millie literally talking to Satan, and confronts her, but just then Jack comes home with "the pizza". Millie slaps Eric and now any i of u.s. can write the rest of this scene. "He came onto me!" "How could you do that human!" "She's evil man!" "You're but jealous man! We're not friends anymore!"
Yep that was a pretty spot on prediction, but Eric is able to make it pretty funny.
Eric makes Jack choose between them, and of class Jack chooses the 1 with the boobs. Will does a fantastic task of carrying an otherwise cringe-tastic scene, it'southward actually really funny. At the end though, Millie states that she is moving in to the flat. Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Oh, "she's only staying for a few days, she'south having trouble with her roommates." Fine. Eric makes one last (hilarious) attempt at convincing Jack, but to no avail. Shawn tries his hand as well.
That's such a Shawn affair to say, you know? Like "Oh, there's a witch staying in our flat. Huh. I wonder what Cory'southward upwardly to..."
This second opinion convinces Jack to confront Millie, and she admits to being a witch, but plays it off like it'southward no big deal. Like if you meet someone who claimed to be Wiccan or any, and they're like "oh it'due south just a belief system~". Anyway it looks like Millie has cast some sort of spell on Jack every bit he's all wide eyed and expressionless as she tells him they'll be hosting a party the next night.
It is now the next night, All Hallow's Eve. But it's not time for the party just notwithstanding. Cory and Topanga board their plane, one of those reeeeeeeeeal pocket-sized mini planes, but Cory claims it's a real airline.
Their airplane pilot is named Dexter Jorgensen, who recognizes Cory's name and comments that he went to school with Eric. In fact, Eric tutored Dexter, so this guy'due south a real dumb dumb. Information technology's all a mish mash of things for Topanga to exist afraid of, all they demand is a gremlin on the wing.
In The Backyard, Feeny gives pocket thesauruses instead of candy to Morgan and her pals. Hell, I'd accept a pocket thesaurus. That's awesome. Eric shows up asking Mister Feeny if he can sleep at his place. He immediately says no, just he is curious why Eric is asking.
Feeny advises Eric to observe a way to brand Jack "hear him", but information technology hardly matters at this signal since Jack is well aware that Millie is a witch.
On the plane, Cory uses an extremely archaic cell telephone to phone call Feeny asking almost Jorgensen (since he was a classmate of Eric'southward). Feeny tells him not to get on the airplane, just ends the phone call by saying he'll probably exist fine. WHICH IS It, OLD MAN?
And at present Topanga is flight the aeroplane.
Yeah that's Dexter Jorgensen. You lot wouldn't want him flying your plane either.
This whole flying thing feels really uninspred and by-the-volume. Topanga was afraid? Now Cory's agape! What a twist! At least Cory is still funny. The Matthews brothers are on fire today.
NOW it's time for that occult political party Millie was talking near.
As soon equally this scene started, I had to pause the video and merely laugh hysterically for a good 30 seconds. You take to hear it to really empathise, but I mean, it looks fucking ridiculous, for starters, but all the extras are making this "wooOOooo" sound, and it'southward so unenthusiastic and phoned-in, so absolutely terrible that I just broke downwards and laughed. Please attempt to spotter this office. What's great is that the audience isn't laughing, so it'due south non intentionally terrible.
That was the best thing I've ever seen. Holy shit. That'southward an Emmy. Emmys everywhere.
Shawn is having a 1000 ol' fourth dimension at this shindig though, considering that's what Shawn does. And that's why nosotros love him.
You can't NOT love him.
Jack tries to break up with Millie, simply she is manifestly now Ushkar, Queen of Malevolence, Daughter of Evil. Ushkar and the extras tie upward Shawn and Jack. Allegedly they demand some star to polish into their special crystal, and the flat's balcony is the perfect identify for that to happen. The crystal will reflect the light onto Shawn and Jack and kill them equally a sacrifice to Satan or Hades or whoever. Just Wait!
Eric searches the book for a "counter-spell", merely the ritual completes just as he says "ah hither it is". The light axle from the crystal hits Eric and does nothing considering (co-ordinate to Eric) he's wearing SPF 50. I can't really tell if that's what the volume says is the counterspell, to only wear sunscreen, merely that'southward funnier than Eric lucking into it so allow's go with that.
What was the point of Feeny's advice though? Seriously, all Feeny said was to "make him hear you", and that's not what Eric did. At all. That's unusual.
SHE But CAN'T CONTROL HER EYEBROWS.
Jack has actually fabricated me laugh a few times this episode, so that's new and heady. The witches all leave, Eric and Jack reconcile, due by and large to Eric'due south big ol eye, and they go off searching for a new political party.
During the credits, Eric and Melissa Joan Hart are hanging out on the balcony and eventually go out for a bite to eat. It's "funny" because, as we all know, Melissa played Sabrina the Teenage Witch, which was in its 3rd season (read as: it wasn't garbage yet) on ABC when this episode aired. For anyone wondering, it was the 5th season of Sabrina where she went to higher and nobody cared anymore. Also, it'southward very obvious how much improve Melissa Joan Hart is at interim than Candace Cameron.
I definitely had a big ol' beat on Sabrina. I call up everybody did. We never see Cory and Topanga and Dexter Jorgensen again, and so it'due south implied that they all died because Topanga doesn't know how to fly a plane.
Plot: 0.75 - Information technology's obviously not, like, the Breaking Bad kind of good plot, but they were looking for a light-headed holiday themed story, and in that respect it works. It works a lot better than Cory Wolf. Or possibly it's only because Sabrina was in it.
Character Evolution: 0.75 - Jack and Eric take their friendship tested, and they cease upwards fifty-fifty stronger friends than earlier.
Sense of humour: 1.0 - Yeah information technology'due south definitely really funny. Watch it just for the humor. Even Cory's side story has its moments.
Life Lesson: 0 - Nothin really to have away from this one, it was just for fun. And that's perfectly fine.
two.5 out of 4.0. Like I said, sentry it for the humor. It'south an piece of cake watch from offset to end and I thoroughly enjoyed it. And that "woOOooo" part, oh my god. Definitely sentry that.
Thanks for reading, run into you lot Friday.
