Adam BucciGuestSo over black, we hear the opening notes of a needle drop by Harry Nilsson's Without You.
We see shots of Pamela Voorhees as she longingly walks through her home, missing her son, Jason.
She goes for a paddle.
We might notice a gauzy filter on the images evoking the sense that this might be a dream sequence.
We then see Officer Brooks pull up in his car and we realize this is a direct homage to one of the final moments of the original Friday the 13th film in 1980.
But instead here, rather than young Jason popping out of the water, we have grown up Jason popping out of the water who grabs Pamela and yanks her down below the surface of the lake.
We then hear a ringing telephone that takes us out of the dream sequence.
As Pamela bursts to life, she's a sweaty mess.
She's mysteriously clutching a machete as she snoozes on the couch.
Now, Adam, we'll get to your Memories Are Forever homage a little later, but what did you think about this opening sequence that's such a direct reflection to the franchise?
They kind of rushed through it a little bit more here and this, uh, you know, retelling of it to kind of just give you the sense of it to not try and like, you know, say we're going to be quite as good as that moment.
But still a really fun, effective homage, as you mentioned.
So after the opening jump scare, we are treated to a brand new version of the opening title sequence.
In the first episode, it was a direct stripping of the original title sequence brought into the pilot.
But now we have a kind of crystallized version of the Crystal Lake title sequence, if you will.
Does still remind us of the vibe of the original credits.
It has its own elements and styles.
Very avant-garde.
