My So-Called Life is always good, but sometimes it’s great. Wonderful. Perfection.

This is not one of those times. This is one of the weaker episodes, not least for its unwelcome foray into the paranormal.

I know Americans make a much bigger deal of October 31 than we do, but I’ve never appreciated the Halloween special so many programmes do, and it’s disappointing MSCL felt it had to join in. Still, we’ll hit the sweet spot of a clutch of great episodes after this, so we ploughed on through.

Here’s what @Keris, @Novelicious, @cloverness and I had to say:

  @dianeshipley Things that don’t interest me: ghosts and spirits.

@Keris I hate fancy dress. Can’t think that I’ve ever done it.  

@cloverness I was too afraid to ever wear a costume to school.

@Novelicious Love how everyone gets so exasperated with Krakow. Except for Rickie :)

@Keris  I used to have hair almost exactly like Brian’s in this episode:

@Keris Oh wow. LOVING Danielle’s Angela impression. LOVING.

@Novelicious Danielle’s Angela impression is my fave part of this episode!

@clovernesss I miss trick or treating. I’d have run after Danielle too.

@cloverness She wants him to leave her tights on? That’s not going to work!

 @Keris This Graaam and Patty role playing is giving me the heebies.

@Novelicious Enjoyed because it’s MSCL but not my favourite episode. Doesn’t quite fit with the rest IMHO.

@dianeshipley He won’t die like Nicky Driscoll did! Eh. I hate Halloween episodes.

  @clovernesss Next ep is one that always gets to me, with all the mom issues. Looking forward to it.

The next MSCLRW? 1pm (UK time), Twitter — Tuesday after next. (12th October.) Join us!
