Nandor doing the Genghis Khan stuff but messing it all up is great. Standing dramatically on a cliff over a burning village giving a villain monologue that nobody can hear is completely on-brand.

He’s Nandor the Relentless, not Nandor the Excellent Public Speaker.

Matt Berry getting drained because he wanted to listen about age of sail battles is very relatable

Milo and POTUS posted:Matt Berry getting drained because he wanted to listen about age of sail battles is very relatable That's something I'd like to see (and we sort of saw it with Topher,) someone who doesn't get drained by Colin because they enjoy his company, or they particular like the joke he tells. Like, Colin makes a friend (Not like Evie where they're another vampire) but someone who just vibes with Colin and Colin can't drain them, maybe he even gets weaker. Maybe he starts acting more interesting around other characters and falls into a doomed gyre of escaping a person he can't drain by being a real person around people he can't drain even more. The opposite of super powerful Colin.

Loved that Colin Robinson said “dilly dilly” when he came home at the beginning of the episode. It was so subtle that I almost missed it.

Another thing I love about the way Colin Robinson is written is how you can never tell if he's trying to feed or if he's just being socially awkward. Most of the time he's being deliberately insufferable, but every so often it seems like he's honestly looking for companionship (like he mentions in this last episode), but because of what he is it's impossible to be sure.

I'm positive that any viewer who has watched American football even casually in the last five years instantly got drained by that bit. It was perfect. The writers really have a knack for coming up with the most draining small talk they can think of for him.

I thought the gimmick was going to be that Colin Robinson wouldn't be able to feed off his employees because now they had to smile and nod and agree with him, instead of being passive aggressive and trying to tune him out..

I kind of get the impression that Colin Robinson lost his newly gained powers when he copied himself.

I thought at first they were genuinely laughing and this either a) wouldn’t work or b) he would find he feeds even more off laughter than despair. He’s an energy vampire after all, not a sadness vampire.

I just love the fact that everyone (even outside the show) refers to him as "Colin Robinson" (not like with Nadja or Nandor) because he's simply not notable enough to be known as "Colin." It's become a single one word run on name "Colinrobinson." If that isn't the viewers buying into the worldbuilding I don't know what is.

I don't think it's because he's not notable, but rather because he's such a terrifying entity that to disrespect him by not speaking his full name is to invite misfortune and despair. You don't call Colin Robinson "Colin" for the same reason you don't call Cthulhu "Cthu".
