A Fancy Hat posted:It felt a little strange to completely undo the end of last season in like 5 minutes, but I really enjoyed these 2 episodes and don't necessarily need to see everything that was happening when the crew was split up for a year. The_Doctor posted:I thought there’d be a little more fallout with Nandor feeling abandoned by Guillermo at the station. Agree a lot with these. The direction they've taken it in is fine, as the core of the show is fuckin' solid. But, this season really did kick off with very strong "We have new showrunners" vibes with that reset. The last season ended with a bunch of really interesting character beats to explore... and... they just didn't. & noticeably so. Feels like a huge missed opportunity, as those were interesting beats to explore. When they pepper hints at major developments going forward, it'll be harder to take them seriously. Venture Bro's is a great model for this. Make decisions and stick to them, your show will evolve and change, but when the core is strong enough (as imo Shadow's is) you can weather that and you'll make a better story for it.

Remember that time the main cast was sentenced to death by the Vampiric Council and their familiar came in and massacred hundreds of vamps? Then next season nobody but them remembered he was a vampire hunter, nobody came after him, and they became the new local Vampiric Council? Yeah. In the end, it worked though.

I liked this episode but I felt like they could have slightly less focused on the fam fights. It was definitely the least interesting part for me. Just a minute or two less mind you

Then next season nobody but them remembered he was a vampire hunter, nobody came after him, and they became the new local Vampiric Council? That worked for me because the show has gone out of its way to establish that vampires are idiots who don't know what they're doing. It was 100% in character for them as a species to learn that the familiar of some local vampires killed hundreds of other vampires and just go "Aw gently caress, aw gently caress, I don't want to have to deal with that noise, gently caress it just, I dunno, make them the new heads of the local vampiric counsel? Will that make them like us enough that they'll stop killing us? Whatever, gently caress it, just do it. What's on TV?" Likewise I feel like all the changes from last season played out exactly like how the characters would have reacted to them. Nandor has been nicer to Guillermo because after being stood up by him he know realizes that there's a chance Guillermo really will leave him if he's too much of a dick, Guillermo is sick of vampire bullshit after being shipped across the sea in a crate twice so he stand up for himself more and spent his time in England getting a British boyfriend, Nadja immediately got bored of her new local government job and came back to America to be a girl boss because that's her true passion, and Lazlo is a dad just doing his best except his best is kind of terrifying and dangerous. 3/4 of the cast are fickle immortal hedonists, they don't respond to things the way normal humans would, and when the one normal human of the group does get reasonably upset they just blow him off and he realizes it's not worth wasting the emotional energy trying to get them to understand where he's coming from (except, sometimes, with Nandor). Arguing with vampires is like trying to argue with a toddler that can eat you.

I thought it was Clancy Brown, in mostly his Devaronian makeup from Mandalorian. Not unheard of since Taika worked on both shows and he's definitely got a cast he likes (Kristen Schaal, Nick Swardson, Rhys Darby, etc.)

Night Market might be my favorite episode of the entire show. Who played the fight barker/announcer? My girlfriend and I think the actor looks really familiar but can’t place him.

I'm marathoning the show with my son because he saw some memes and gave in to my cajoling. Season 1 had more shippable episodes for me than 2 or 3 did if only for making sure the setup for later payoff ( Seanie!) was intact. Bonus fun: I now hear forums posts in the characters' voices. Try it with the last few just in this thread. It's amazing.

oh my god, Nandor’s face  . How many times did it change during the episode, like 4 or 5?Someone has tried to work out how many wishes Nandor has left (they haven’t updated it for the most recent episode yet though). Also next week, more wedding stuff and definitely not jealous Guillermo!

"We need to be gay. Trust me. Gay is in. Gay is hot. I want some gay. Gay its gonna be." I love this undead gay show. Awwww, Guillermo bought his mom a new fridge! Honestly don't feel like he's doing anything wrong here, dude's been their live in maid without pay for 12 years he's just taking what he's owed.

That episode was loving incredible. I loved the utter outrage from the vampires when Guillermo pointed out they could just hypnotize the headmaster to accept the thing that crawled out of the abdomen of their dead friend Colin Robinson for his school, because "we're in too deep now!" "I'm Arturo... the butler.... or some poo poo...."

Maybe the best episode of the show for me, they took a very simple setup and just wrung every possible joke out of it. Nandor's face at the end, holy poo poo.

didn't like this ep, was pretty hard to power through the scene with the headmaster. imo the show is best when there are other vampire guests, or when they're actually parodying something

I wasn't really feeling the first three episodes, it felt like they were just slinging everything they could at the wall and hoping it sticks instead of doing the work of going for one plotline per episode and getting laughs from the characters organically reacting to the situation around them, but this one and the last have actually followed proper story structure, which is important even for a comedy show. And that was truly the best use of one of the people from Impractical Jokers.

I wasn't too into the first two episodes because they were lacking Colin Robinson, but the night market episode was amazing and this episode was too. An all-timer Nadia episode. "Beow beow I couldn't possibly say anything, but Lionel loving Barrymore's kids might just go here beow beow"
