44- Life Sentence

This is another episode that's basically a crime drama with gratuitous, pointless dream sequences. Delete the nightmares and insert some court scenes and this would be a sub-par LAW & ORDER episode. It's about a guy who blows his chances at parole due to his paranoia about getting killed and a warden who kills an inmate accidentally and tries to get elected as sherriff using what he learned from the victim.

This was the last episode of the series and it goes out not with a bang, but with a whimper. I'm sure they knew this would be the last episode, but there's nothing special or unique about it whatsoever. It just fills in 45 minutes and ends. This show had its ups and downs, but it's unfortunate that it went out on such a bland note.

I'd love to end my review of the last episode with some sort of whiz-bang insult, but it's not that bad. I should point out that there's a scene where Freddy's in a cell with a guy and Freddy drops a bar of soap and makes the guy bend over to pick it up. Freddy proceeds to stab the guy with all four finger blades- guess where? You probably guessed right. Happy trails, FREDDY'S NIGHTMARES.
