God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. Who will wipe this blood off us? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we need to invent?

Matt Berry strikes me as a dude who could make me laugh reading a phone book

He has an "autobiography" of Toast and the audiobook is read by Berry. Some of the funniest parts are him just reading lists of fake actors with over the top "British" names for like a minute.

Just watched the last episode, finally. "She speaks the bullshit."

Great to see Waititi and Clement, and the rest of the council was fantastic.

All of Tilda Swinton.

ERW's "God, this loving guy" and "Man, that's loving rough."

Nadja saying "Yes, it's lunch" into her hand.

This is one of those shows where they pack an incredible amount into such a short time. It always feels like it's over too soon.


edit: also, I'm genuinely surprised they didn't get Brad Pitt and fully expect to see him in the future.

This is correct.

Darkplace is where many people first saw Matt Berry and Richard Ayoade. It's an early 2000s show that has the premise of being a recently rediscovered 80s horror show centered around a hospital built on top of a hellmouth.

If you haven't seen it yet around it, all the episodes are on YouTube.

The peek-a-boo bit at the party was great, and I dug that they actually foreshadowed her power by Lazlo not spotting her when he first walked in the room, which I had assumed was just a joke about him being an rear end in a top hat (turns out that was an unrelated matter!)

Edit: Also:

Lazlo: Why would you wear cologne?
Colin: To annoy you.
Lazlo: Fair enough.

One thing I love is how nuts the production designers went with the details of their house--the pictures covering almost every bit of wall, the cluttered furniture, books, etc. Like you think of how much bric a brac the average person accumulates in 50 years...now imagine 4 people living in a house for 200 years.

I'd love to see a behind the scenes feature about the set decor.

Barry's reaction to get bat transformation killed me too. Glad to see Guillermo pretty much immediately caught on to what happened with the new vampire, I was wondering if there was going to be a storyline threaded through the show or if it was more about the day in the lives of the vampires.

Pretty sure they're setting Guillermo up to be so jaded that he becomes a vampire slayer, or at least has the reputation of one (since he killed two vampires already). This would be hilarious and awesome, where he keeps just accidentally murdering them but becomes widely feared by the vampire council.

Guillermo’s rant at Nandor was a great moment. They have a fun chemistry together.

I was really hoping he'd start sneaking away to hang out with the socially progressive werewolves.

He'll never get the reputation, vampires will just keep dying but no one believes it's him.

He's either going to become the greatest vampire slayer ever because they will never believe that a cute little snack could be taking them out, or he's going to get turned by Jenna.
