Baywatching Nights: The Eighth Seal

[@lennyfiasco9834]

Wait a minute. Powers. Plural, more than one. Two powers. Two. Twins… Romulus and Remus!

[@user-lb9xw4xf2q]

Just when I forget about her, you deliver a tactical "exploding frog-hybrid girlfriend" to reiterate why it should always be remembered!

[@Cdr2002]

A tactical exploding frog hybrid girlfriend blew up my house

[@Steven-wz7sh]

The defense department is very interested in exploding frog hybrid girlfriends.

[@Nocturnalux]

That the show forgot all about it is very telling. It’s the combo of very bad writing and lack of continuity.

[@spykewyn8395]

That thing about Griff still being in the script sure explains that time Ryan slipped up and said "I'm Griff???" and no one reacted.

[@EpicBeard815]

Whenever I leave a notebook on my desk, i always write "KILLED HER PARENTS?" in the upper margin, just to keep passerbys guessing

[@Polycomical]

"Mephistophles von Malibu" Beautiful.

[@jonothanthrace1530]

Needs to be on merch.

[@FaeQueenCory]

It's finally happened. The circle is complete!

[@Ridgwaycer]

Or the Lupa is complete? :p

[@davidker8820]

“Attractive 11 year-old girl” is easily the creepiest thing in all of Baywatch Nights.

[@Arrowdodger]

I assume he was trying to lift her spirits when he called her pretty after saving her, but it was still just really damn weird.

[@YMasterS]

Feels like they specified attractive so that the pretty compliment lined up, which actually makes it weirder because it implies the writers think it's common place for the viewers to be judging the attractiveness of 11 year old girls when they're on screen.

[@LaNoLaCola]

Let's blame Maurice Hurley for that

[@laragallahue7127]

It is so nice to change of pace to see Hasselhoff actually giving a shit. It really shows the difference between early season Mitch and later seasons Mitch

[@fjardim14]

"Baywatch Nights Community Service" That cuts, Allison. Hot damn. It's also hilarious.

[@Mobysimo]

Honestly given how bonkers this was, I half expected the Truck to get totalled when it came into contact with the Demonically-Influeced Mitch von Malibu

[@robertb.7772]

"I'm not gonna rewatch my old video - because it's embarrassing". Allison, your stuff has never been embarrassing. Loved it then, love it now. 💜

[@TommyDeonauthsArchives]

Nostalgia Critic on the other hand...

[@42neddy]

My face broke into such a wide crazy smile when you said you got your hands on the scripts, pure joy 😂

[@toidIllorTAmI]

I immediately thought of Homer Simpson when Bart got the Dud.

[@aperson4640]

"Just do a core dump into my computer." Best Baywatch innuendo ever.

[@gabrielpelletier6202]

Good gods, this was phenomenal. Hasslehoff just chewing as much scenery as possible. It was strange to see him invested in an episode again, but definitely great.

[@crithon]

"In the fireplace, a flaming fire errupts." Well, I feel we accomplished a lot here.

[@AussieDragoon]

Stephanie's last canonical appearance...if nights is even Canon. Who knows, maybe Former P.I./Monster Hunter Mitch will show up in a Deadpool and Wolverine sequel as a variant.

[@SuperMarioBrosIII]

@AussieDragoon She also appeared in the reunion movie as Allison Ford LOL!🤔🤗🙆👻

[@AussieDragoon]

@@SuperMarioBrosIII But it wasn't Stephanie, just Alexandra Paul.

[@UJEvans]

I like the idea that Mitch's insatiable appetite is actually because he himself is an ancient demon and doesn't know it. Other demons come around to try to get him to devour the world and he's too preoccupied with Sandwiches to realize

[@Carn_Is_Done]

Hm, pondering if Hasslehoff himself is an ancient demon and doesn't know it

[@emmamarshall221]

Me: Look! Stephanie! Partner: *calmly, hardly looking up* I thought she was a dog now The Baywatch universe gives so much and takes so little

[@ShinGallon]

Seals 1-7 were all broken by Griff, but they had to cut those scenes out after he left the show.

[@hurgenflerg2133]

I like that they seemingly left out Stephanie's "you're still loved" line to Mitch, like they considered it and were just like, "Nah, nobody's gonna buy that."

[@jamiethebadwitch4003]

After over a decade...we've FINALLY come full circle for Baywatch Nights Edit: Also WOOO scripts! Can't wait to see even more of how much of a mess this show was behind the scenes

[@corvanzendervai111]

Teague’s bizarre thing about psychic orphans is just like…does he know what an orphan is? Because it sounds like he’s describing something that isn’t “a child with two dead parents”.

[@theotherghostgirl337]

Maybe he was being metaphorical? If he even understands metaphor

[@TraineeHero]

@@theotherghostgirl337 He'd probably think someone mispronounced 'metamorph' and go off on a rant about shapeshifting. Then Mitch would be revealed to be descended from Zeus and have to turn into a swan before midnight or he'd get struck by lightning again.

[@sovietcanuckistanian]

Given that Ryan found out she was an orphan and immediately wrote down "Killed Her Parents?" I think both of them are pretty confused.

[@othertalk3313]

@@sovietcanuckistanian You're all forgetting the second possibility written in Ryan's notebook... that the orphan is just "Lucky?" both of her parents are dead.

[@dougvanminnen7537]

"His personality is too strong" I laughed my ass off whenTeague said that. Gee, I wonder how that got in the script LOL

[@gerjanm7648]

the 'you're still loved' line killed me

[@locuas5601]

I think we can agree that the demon felt the pressence of Ghost Stephanie approaching and decided to run away. TWO extremely storng willed lifeguards is just too much for them to deal with

[@TommyDeonauthsArchives]

Ah, the second time a possession plot ends with a lazy shrug off.

[@grapeshot]

David Hasselhoff chewed that scenery like Redman.

[@jamcalx]

Mitch needed the power of Truck-kun to help stop the demon.

[@allanolley4874]

The demon was reincarnated in a fantasy world where ironically he had to defeat the demon king.

[@doctorhirst9302]

It's so weird to go back to the old review of this episode and not hear Allison do the doofy Mitch voice. It just feels incomplete without that, so I'm glad we got this do-over now.

[@FlyingLavaDragon]

Knowing that there's an afterlife is probably comforting to Mitch, what with the apocalypse from "Mobius" on the way

[@thewraithwriter22]

I'm so delighted that the Stephanie voice also came back.

[@fangjokerLS]

"The male ego is an expressway to demonic possession."

[@EpicBeard815]

The reason why Ryan doesn't know Stephanie is because everytime Mitch starts bitching about his day job, she just gets up and leaves the room

[@rasmusdegn9690]

"is Mitch also a super-special psychic child or does this have to do with his willful lifeguard personality?" I suspect it might have something to do with his heart of a true japanese warrior.

[@joekearon1336]

'A flaming fire erupts." That line explains so much about the quality of Baywatch Nights.

[@LaNoLaCola]

A little spooky treat before fall hits. And one final send-off for Stephanie. The last save was truly hers

[@phonybeautrain6520]

Allison finally reaching the episode where she was first exposed to Baywatch... It's beautiful, glorious and a little sad. Knowing Baywatching will never be the same. Almost like we hit the middle of the journey of the Baywatch verse.

[@distance7721]

It's so funny how much half-assed continuity exists between this and regular Baywatch

[@Rebochan]

I can't believe this has been a like... ten year journey to get right back here. I already left a big love bomb for this on your Patreon but can I just add here that having seen how checked out and bored David Hasselhoff was in every Nights Season 2 episode leading up to this, its absolutely wild to see him suddenly wake up and deliver *the performance of his career.* I have got to wonder what motivated him to take THIS episode seriously, but I am so glad he did.

[@jeffweskamp3685]

My personal theory is that this episode was one of the first ones they filmed for Season Two. The difference between his performance here and his performances in the other later episodes is stunning.

[@Rebochan]

@@jeffweskamp3685 I keep thinking it must have been filmed early on but then there’s things like Alexandra Paul’s hair having grown out more since her death episode on Baywatch and the fact it’s referencing her departure from that show. Also it runs so late in the season, it seems weird to hold it that far in given that stuff actually happens lol Maybe Allison’s scripts have production codes that can shed a little light on this

[@ryandowney9383]

OMG, David Hasselhoff giving a Reb Brown scream is AMAZING!!! 10/10 No notes.

[@goranisacson2502]

I am amused at how it seems the demon-possessed kid just... disappears from the plot. They told Hasselhoff to eat the scenery, and he accidentally devoured all other people who could maybe have some relevance to the plot. Also, where the kids adopted BECAUSE they were psychic so that the demon could have a suitable host, or were kids adopted for the sake of having hosts for demons giving people success and hten end up with psychic powers?

[@cactuarforever8000]

Your original video was how I first discovered Baywatch Nights. Been waiting for this revisit since the beginning of Baywatching. Did not disappoint in the slightest. Thanks Allison and thanks Mitch von Malibu!

[@ralphyetmore]

I'm not sure if this is a compliment to one or an insult to the other, but Demonic David Hasselhoff gives off Dollar Store Bruce Campbell energy.

[@adam-l74]

Stephanie in the after life in her lifeguard swimsuit is my favorite part.

[@1000huzzahs]

"Attractive 11 year old girl" definitely says a lot about how Hollywood has and continues to treat children in the industry

[@MforMovesets]

Yeah, thankfully we're on KZbin, KZbin is above that.......

[@TheGreatSpaceHobo]

Big yikes. 😬

[@jimballard1186]

My phone's battery would die before I could write an "ew" with enough W's to convey the grossness.

[@SECONDQUEST]

​@@MforMovesetsluckily there isn't a real established KZbinr making factory like Hollywood. We're on the way though.

[@StarBlue42]

Seriously the writer needs to have his hard drives checked 💀

[@NerdNonsense2161]

“Lucky?” is sending me.

[@Arrowdodger]

"HOW DID THAT CHAIR KNOW I WAS HUNGRY?" God, I love your videos and your take on Mitch.

[@TommyDeonauthsArchives]

I'll say this about The Eight Seal: there was actual buildup to Mitch getting possessed as opposed to "Possession" just showing Donna already possessed without warning.

[@RooneyToony]

Start the morning off right with baywatch nights

[@patrickkelmer6290]

I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again: Baywatch Nights needs to somehow get a revival, just so Allison can review more!

[@Djinsin]

Stephanie: *dies* Mitch: “Hey Ryan, can you make me a burger?” *burps*

[@laragallahue7127]

I been so hyped to see this one episode! I can’t wait to see Ghost Stephanie not in dog form!

[@panbat2367]

16:33 The moment was so insane to me that I had to rewarch the review as everything else about the episode immediately left my memory after seeing it.

[@mathieuleader8601]

I think its was a missed opportunity not to have an It's A Wonderful Life episode with Stephanie as Clarence escorting Mitch around a world where he was never born.

[@noneya3635]

This is the best ting to happen on a Wed morning in years. Alli doing demon voice and my favorite curse of all time "son of a Mitch!" How'd you know my birthday was coming up.

[@qstionblomens6138]

This truly was our Baywatch Nights…and Mitch’s save

[@avalontheeldritchwhorror8212]

Hasselhoff's overacting was pure Cinema! He gave us a smorgasbord of that ham and cheese! Gouda! American! Swiss! He gave us all the cheese! 😂 Also, love your videos! These always make me smile!

[@NapoleonWinston]

It's amazing that Hasselhof can be both trying too hard and also his usual levels of lazy at the same time!

[@SwiftNimblefoot]

LOL this was a great episode. Hard to believe Baywatch got such a spinoff. They really wanted that sweet sweet X-Files money...

[@lilliefranks7246]

We also should not underestimate how funny this title is. You thought Ingmar Bergman's The Seventh Seal was good? Well, this is even better. Why? Because it's got EVEN MORE SEALS

[@lilliefranks7246]

I'm also working on a noir political thriller; it's called the Fourth Man, and it's sort of like The Third Man, but it's even better because it's got an extra man.

[@Drekal684]

oh wow, only three left? Also, it is hilarious to consider how different your reaction is now that you have the full Steph experience.

[@Hunteriffic86]

Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a MINUTE!... Griff has lines in the script that aren't "I'm Griff"? What!?

[@jonathanhoush2384]

I'm Griff???

[@flynnscreations]

seeing the scripts in full has me both very excited but also very scared at the same time for the next video.

[@Tareltonlives]

The dead girlfriend shelf is one of my favorite running gags

[@MforMovesets]

Ah, an episode where Mitch tells an 11 year old she's too hot to die. Good 90s content.

[@someidiotmetalhead]

I'm so glad to hear you got your hands on the scripts, we can finally see the expectations vs the reality of Mitch von MonstranceClock

[@therealmanos]

Confession. This is the only episode of Baywatch Nights or Baywatch, I ever sat down and watched. Back in the 90's, I was a big X-Files fan. When I heard that Baywatch was doing a X-Files ripoff, I smugly checked out and was not prepared of how silly it was.

[@mathieuleader8601]

Jenny makes an omlette with DEVILED EGGS

[@StillAlexander]

A new Baywatching Nights? But howthehell did Allison know I needed exactly this?

[@kingvulturo]

I love the concept of Mitch walking into a dark room and hearing a quiet Stephanie Cackle in the air.

[@EternalFireseal]

1:18 "Forgive me if I repeat or contradict myself." But that's what I'm here for! Honestly, the main thing that prevents that video from holding up today is that the standards for discussions on Baywatch have greatly evolved since the old days. I'm don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing, but such is the legacy of this channel.

[@leeroyjenks]

Your old videos are not embarrassing!

[@aaronbourque5494]

Oh no! My nights will never be the same!

[@Ironman1o1]

TEAGUE (a fact ) This might be the most baffling script note ive ever seen

[@OldSchoolCurt]

Beast of the beach! That’s what the show should have been called!

[@mathieuleader8601]

I wish Teauge mentioned Tommy Westphall as one of those special orphans with the 6th sense

[@ewarwoowar9938]

03:09 The show was using the word "double" in "stunt double" VERY loosley there lol.

[@michaellangwaller]

The Mitch-ism will never end, After you finish Baywatch Nights, they will release the outtakes and commentary in the Baywatch Nights: The Ultimate Mitch Save Collection on Blu-ray 8K featuring the dead girlfriend interviews.

[@dunes8817]

Finally a Nights episode that doesn't feel halfhearted. If only the rest actually leaned into the weird and actually had fun with it.

[@arielrosen673]

Nothing cheers up a rough day at work like seeing a notification for a new Baywatching episode - especially when it’s covering such an iconic episode!

[@Caernath]

The power of the Hoff compels me! 🍔

[@waylander-su7og]

Loving the Baywatch Nights vids and just wanted to say if you ever feel the need to see Hasslehoff sing evil the recording of the Jekyll and Hyde musical with him seems to be floating around.

[@lastflunky]

I've been waiting for this one. The old episode was one of the first videos I watched on your channel years ago. I am delighted to hear you have some nights scripts.

[@toidIllorTAmI]

Risking my job to watch this. Baywatching gives me a specific type of dopamine rush lmfao

[@VerdantRange]

Mitch: "This whole thing was stupid, but I'm glad I'll never be bothered by someone with Stephanie's face ever again." Allison from the movie: "Achtually..." Mitch: "SON OF A MITCH!!!"

[@senorstyx3011]

David hasselhoff finest acting, nights were truly never the same. Griffs finest acting in this and performance.

[@StarBlue42]

The entire second season should have been this over the top 😂

[@pobbard]

Wonderful as always. But the "dead girlfriend shelf" broke me! 🤣🤣🤣

[@Spike-Prime]

I've been looking forward to this rewatch ever since Baywatching started. This review had me in stitches, especially all the continuity callbacks you did now, and the running gag of Stephanie as a reincarnated dog never fails to get a giggle. Loved this review, one of my all time faves now for sure!

[@DotGamesLive]

Damn you, Stephanie-Dog!!

[@skyrunner14]

It's everything I could've hoped for and more! If only the entire series had been as delightfully cheesy as this episode. I can't wait to see the next video on the scripts!

[@RettMikhal]

Tane McClure always was one of the best Skinemax actresses.

[@deeconstruction8163]

Oh the twinge of angst I felt when Allison said there are only three episodes left. I'm going to miss Baywatching Nights 🥺

[@euansmith3699]

I don't think that I've ever seen an episode of Baywatch or Baywatch Night; but I really look forward to these recaps. Great work. So, did Mitch manage to save the other seven Seals and return them all to their natural habitat?

[@westheriault3797]

NO I MISSED THIS WHEN IT UPLOADED KZbin WHY

[@althing7]

It's so interesting to hear your commentary on how the script compares to what they filmed!

[@SuperMarioBrosIII]

Allison, I'm sure you remember Mitch dying in the series finale of Baywatch Hawaii and then is brought back to life in the reunion movie when discovering he had amnesia and was in a hospital LOL!🏖🏝👰‍♀🎥P.S. Alexandra Paul who also died in the original series was also brought back as a different character Allison Ford originally Stephanie Holden. She did appear as a Ghost in Baywatch Nights.👻

[@finnhaverkamp]

howthehell is Baywatching so consistently excellent

[@spookydonkey42]

And that's why they call me John Dont-go-Stephanie-come-back! Court

[@davidhotle6131]

the funniest part of the video - Mitch jumps in front of a truck and Allison cracks up.

[@DonaldRilea]

Am glad Angie Harmon moved onto "Law And Order" after this ended.
