It finally clicked in my head recently that the way I talk to my dog is essentially a bad impression of how Nandor talks to Gizmo. I regret nothing.

Now these are the rear end in a top hat vampires I love (even more). Btw there is a plum island but it's way the gently caress down at the opposite end of Long island. It was plum, right?

Incredible episode, just pure gold all the way through, and there's something glorious in the fact that Colin Robinson quoted one of the best closing lines in any film ever - "Nobody's perfect" - in an episode with one of the best closing lines I can think of in recent memory

The first couple of episodes this season were a bit weak, but everything since then has been straight up bangers. I don't think it's missed a beat at all. I'd take 5 more seasons of this level of quality.

That episode was fantastic. Another truly weird take on a mythological creature that vibed perfectly with Colon Robinson. Also loved the scene where Laszlo first tries to escape, but she starts singing again and he immediately returns and goes, "That's such a beautiful song."

Absolutely lost it at how hype Guillermo got seeing the huge bucket of legos and how much he didn't want to leave it behind. That closing line was perfect, just incredible poo poo.

The Nadja doll is so good, I forget if it was mentioned here where I read it but originally Nadja was going to be extremely smart and capable and it just wasn’t that funny but instead making the tiny doll the (more) smart version of her is just a great choice.

Also I wonder what the limit of stuff Lazlo can BAT with him is, obviously his clothes but he brought the 2 noise cancelling headphones too! Not Colin Robinson sized carrying as mentioned though.

Nadja doll and Kristen Schall are loving treasures and I’m glad we get to enjoy their shenanigans. Also the Guide being super into the dude who repeatedly attempted to stake her is definitely some great energy!

One minor thing that bothered me this last episode is that Laszlo killed a dude right in the open, in front of a bunch of people, and it wasn't mentioned any further. There's somewhat a minor storyline of the Council trying to keep vampires hidden, and I wonder if that'll lead tie into it, or if it's just a nitpicky thing that I noticed.

I did not like the ending to Nadja's story this episode. The whole point about her being as stupid as the men should include, especially because she's an ancient vampire, her not being about modern woman, unappreciated at work, not enough time for herself kinda stuff. In the first two seasons her and Lazlo just hosed, and indulged each other's kinks. It could work if the writing was better but the beats of the story, if not the language, would absolutely play in any other crappy sitcom that gets a 150 episodes and goes into syndication. Best Buy was good. The Colin Robinson origin story/development is good. Getting to a third of the way through the episode with no mystery, rather an out of place acquiring the boat, to just reveal the siren even calling was bad. Just start them out on a boat, don't give us a crappy scene that doesn't make sense with the vampires not even being good/subtle at feeding. Guillermo breaking "the fourth wall" to complain about how he's being treated as a small character compared to a doll was horrific. A ballsy move to attempt to upset the in-world universe and call out his relative rank in the hierarchy, but it just didn't work. We're already suspending disbelief that there's a camera crew following them, we've had episodes where the camera crew get hosed over, sparingly thankfully, we have interviews, going further again and acting like this is a reality show just game across as cack-handed. I'm gonna keep watching because I'm invested in the characters and the acting is great, but this season is nothing like the first two in the way it's written. Either in the storylines or dialogue.
