I wonder if Guillermo was thinking “wait, so if I hadn’t run out of the house I would be a vampire by now? gently caress’s sake.” I hope so.

gbs but from 2004 posted:Not who you were quoting but I’m actually finding it a bit less funny than the previous 2 for some reason, I’m still enjoying it but it’s not quite doing it for me as much and I can’t put my finger on why. Yeah, I'm also "enjoying it, but not as much." I think the characters are too powerful now, to be honest. A big theme of the first two seasons was that all their vampiric powers didn't mean everything would just work out for them, especially when their inherent incompetence was also in play. Nandor couldn't become a citizen or get Doug Peterson to do anything but freak out, they gave Sean the brain scramblies accidentally, Laszlo fled to Pennsylvania rather than pay Jim the month's rent he skipped out on or participate in the duel he agreed to; they got their wins occasionally, but basically, anybody who tried to get the better of them — from the Vampiric Council down to Simon or the witches — had a good shot at doing so. This season, everything just kinda works out for them. I appreciate there's only so far you can go with them being the butt of every joke, but them being in charge and seemingly semi-capable doesn't feel right for the characters. Which I suspect is why everyone seems to enjoy Laszlo even more this season, because he's ignoring that whole side of the plot and just loving around with his porn or his car or whatever Sean's doing that week.

Could just be there's some prophecy that some the leader of the Council will get killed horribly this year, so they gave it to them just so no one else would get killed.

feedmyleg posted:This season is good. That being said, it's less gag-heavy and more serialized than before. It's inching into sitcom territory, whereas before it leaned more into the mockumentary side of things. I can see it resonating with someone less, even if I don't mind the new direction. This is pretty much it. I'm enjoying the show, however it has a different vibe. The first couple of seasons we were learning lots about the characters, now it seems like they've all fallen into their tropes and we are now seeing the sitcom formula of what those characters would do in these situations, rather than their reactions to situations being how we are learning who the characters are.

I’m wondering how the vampire/real life actor thing works now. When the Vampiric Council met for the first time, they were first name only: Tilda, Evan, Danny, etc. you had plausible deniability that they weren’t meant to be the actors. Then this season, Nandor explicitly says it was Wesley Snipes Skyping in on a laptop. And they called him a Daywalker in the earlier ep. So the actor Wesley Snipes played the Daywalker Blade and is a Daywalker in real life? How does it all intersect?!

Half of them probably aren't actually vampires but the real ones think they are since they same them do vampire stuff on film and how on Earth could you fake such a thing?

And I know he filmed the recorded cameo this season but I don't think Taika Waititi has been that involved in the show post-season 1.

Huh, so the hellhound was indeed a hellhound after all. Guillermo really is special to just be able to tame it like that. re: season quality, I still like it, but it does feel weaker. First two seasons had an overall storyline and were going somewhere even if it was something that was in the background for the most part compared to all the jokes. Now it feels like a monster of the week thing. It's cool the Baron is back and surprisingly jolly, we got to see Derek again after being left in the disco vampire's house, but Guillermo is still around because he's a main character, not because he's got any reason to be here. Some of the jokes this season are kinda corny and random by comparison too. The only episode I can say left a bland taste in my mouth was the Gail thing.

The Baron riding on the back of the hellhound was incredibly adorable Loved the set-up at the end, the Sire hiding behind the door while the Baron's on a coatrack and you can literally see the legs in full view, they're all so gloriously stupid

The first two episodes of the season were weak, from Atlantic City onwards, it's being great, better than some of the season 2 episodes.

I've really enjoyed this season so far. Kristen Schaal was a great addition, big fan of her since Flight of the Conchords. Anyone else think seeing The Sire was a big letdown? The oldest and most powerful of all the vampires looks like a gargoyle from that old cartoon.

I mean I enjoy it and it’s funny but it’s easily the weakest season so far.
