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?

I wonder how many people didn't recognize who Jim was. I'm not sure I would have if I hadn't known ahead of time

I rewatched the episode with my wife,who was seeing it for the first time. When Jim the Vampire lowered his cowl, I asked if she recognized him. She said, a "oh! It's Rob Lowe!"

We're big Parks and Rec fans and watched the recent reunion special, so she definitely knows who Rob Lowe is. I'm sure Hammill would be delighted to think someone mistook him for Rob Lowe in 2020, but goon face blindness is real, and may be contagious.

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 thought they'd go with stakes when they broke them, because, ya know, vampires but they just went in the "Holy gently caress these dudes are stupid" direction which was amazing.

I don't think they were going for a lightsaber duel joke. Breaking a pool cue in half to fight with is a thing in every bar fight scene ever filmed.

They were absolutely doing a lightsaber joke. If they were just going to break it in half they would have done that right away instead of holding them out for a while like lightsabers before going "nah".

Yeah I mean they literally stood in the classic lightsaber duel stance, it was super blatant. You even see Jim look go like "hm.. nah" before he breaks it

If I remember correctly, it was specifically doing the laugh that was the problem. He ended up damaging his vocal cords.

I feel like the number will be on the low-end. They pretty much just used his Last Jedi outfit with a palette swap for the introduction scene.

They're fun shows that are like old time radio plays - they have 2 standout shows, Beyond Belief, which is a pastiche of Roaring 20s decadence, detective shows, and the Addams Family; and Sparks Nevada, about an Earth Lawman assigned to bring law and order in a totally not-wild-west version of Mars complete with interplanetary banditos, saloons, and laser-gun six shooters.
