Yeah, the one place I remembered it being a thing was in Buffy, where a couple of the vampires got their original souls back and realized that this makes it really, really, REALLY hard to be a vampire.

Kayvan Novak deserves an award for delivering "This would make a great gift for a man named Steve". I laughed more at episode one than I did all the TV I saw in the time it was on break. Oh drat and Nadja "Alright Dr. rear end in a top hat" and her little jerk off motion, god drat.

I had a big laugh at how Topher's cider company (which he owns .5% of) has to qualify that it is "Apple flavored" cider.

There each person has a Hun and a Po making up the content of your soul. Upon death the Hun, the aspect consisting of your virtues, moves on and the Po, the aspect of base desires, continues to inhabit your corpse, dormant until awoken by outside forces. This concept combined with the presence of Haley Joel Osment got me thinking about Kingdom Hearts and how the whole heartless/nobody/regular body(?) premise is very similar to this in how you can have multiple versions of the same person existing as separate entities. I haven't thought about Kingdom Hearts since I played 2 like a decade ago, so that was a weird thought to have out of the blue.

I was thinking of Buffy but, although there were vampires whose human souls were shown to be distinct from their vampire selves, I'm not sure if they ever had a vampire speak to its own ghost like this? Obviously Angel and Spike got their souls back while remaining vampires, but that seemed to somehow fuse the two entities so they had the memories of both and also, for some reason, the sins of the vampire became the burden of the soul so they'd be destined for hell for all the things they did as a vampire despite the soul not being there for those bits. It was weird and confusing.

Really stoked this show is back. I enjoyed that pre-vampire Nandor was played totally straight to contrast with the Nandor that we know. I do hope Laszlo gets some good arcs this season though because I feel like Matt Berry is underutilised on this show - or maybe because Natasia Demetriou is such a show-stealer. Oh, ouch ouch, my balls, I love to drink ... beer

Interesting that they established Nadja as Greek, since I know Natasia Demetriou is of Greek/Cypriot descent in real life.

I’d probably say Nadja is my favourite of the three. Her openly mocking the other two was gold. As were all the dead familiars. Kind of hope they stop treating Guillermo so terribly. It’s been done and doesn’t add anything new. Ie. Family Guy and Meg.

He should've suggested it but just couldn't get the ghost off because of how boring his sex is.

The "Well you're in there now!" at the start of episode 2 was just an incredible line delivery.

I watched the new ones while super tired, was the extent of the horse one just that he wanted to be reunited with the horse, and the only thing they could communicate was ‘good morning’. I kinda expected something darker, but maybe that was the joke ha. I mean, he did eat the horse the first time around...

I was a little surprised at all the love the second episode got. The first was brilliant, but I honestly thought the second was pretty weak. Colin Robinson's gag was pretty good, but Guillermo disappeared after like the first act...and I really think he carries the show in his interactions with the others. He's not as flashy, but his actor is really great at the quiet beats.

I actually thought the opposite. I thought the story idea of the second was really unique and strong and the way they played off their ghosts was fun. First was funny but I didn't think was as good of an episode as the second.
