But then he can leave and come back as Colin Robinson and it's like "gently caress I hate this guy, I wish that gecko was still around", and they'd be like a million times more bummed out than normal with him.

gently caress, see this is why I wouldn't make a good vampire hunter like Guillermo, I just don't think these things through.

How many of those Geckos are actually energy vampires who held a shamefully bad orgy?

Your human mentality cries out for vengeance and thrives on the violence you say you can hardly endure.
I don't think this cropped up in the thread but I found that the original 2005 short film What We Do In The Shadows: Interviews With Some Vampires is on youtube in full, it's very, very kiwi deadpan humour. Do recommend. They're so young!

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

I changed my mind and now think it is.

Oh poo poo I forgot about this thread. The other TV spinoff (of the original film) Wellington Paranormal just finished up its second season, check it out if you can track it down somehow.

In one episode they featured some random dude who was supposed to be the fiance of the prime minister but it turns out it really was the actual partner of NZ's prime minister Jacinda Ardern.

They also had a Christmas special!!

My wife actually watched the documentary they put out with the BBC Dracula and the creators are big fans and really appreciate the history... which just makes it all the more baffling about how bad it ended up. Plus wow are they awful at writing female characters, in every show they do.

I’ve just made it through 1 part of the new Dracula. I watched it as a dark comedy and thought it was OK but not great. Like it clearly knows we’ve all seen multiple and better Dracula versions before and is trying to leverage that into a fresh take through a Dracula who’s amused at his own jokes and a super-modern nun but it doesn’t fully work.

My wife’s got money on Mark Hammill as a werewolf.

It's funny how the two leads get a chance to do acting in the first act of the first episode and absolutely kill it. The guy who plays Dracula did a great job in his transformation. Then the Stephen Moffat starts.

My initial reaction was that Mark Hamill should play himself like all the other guest stars, but him playing a gruff old vampire hunter sounds amazing.

What about this: Matk Hamill plays himself, AND he's a gruff old vampire hunter. Turns out hunting vampires is his side hustle when he's not acting.

No, but thanks for reminding me of how I watched a show with two episodes I found really great and a third episode that was so bad it retroactively ruined the preceding two.

I hope WWDitS comes back soon.

I didn't make it past the first episode; it started off really well and then became clear that they were going to write Count Dracula in exactly the same way as all the villains from Sherlock (smarmy, cruel, smarter-than-thou middle aged white guys). Similarly the way Moffat seems to come up with a premise for an interesting confrontation scene and then works backwards to write the script, ignoring logical character development and motivations. I genuinely feel like Dracula ruined the good seasons of Sherlock for me.
