I did enjoy how they referred to almost everyone by name or had them speak so you knew what famous person they were, except for Che Guevara who just sat there because everyone knows what Che loving Guevara looks like.

they set up them reverting to ectoplasm or whatever and it never pays off. I was spitballing to a friend that maybe this would have been the main nightclub storyline if they didn't do the child act thing and this was vestigial.

Wasn't there a whole plot point last season of Colin Robinson not knowing how energy vampires come to be? Yet, somehow he knew to leave a map to his future destructive self? All to point him to a detailed journal that would have surely mentioned his previous re-incarnation. He wouldn't remember quickly aging through his childhood but I assume he would have mentioned that it happened. Like, technically he still doesn't know how he originally originally came to be but... what? I'm beginning to think this comedy show about vampires and ghouls and hats made from a witch's anus isn't taking itself very seriously! Ultimately I don't really care because it was a fun way to wrap up that story. But either I missed something or they goofed a little. triple sulk posted:This is exactly what Colin Robinson would want ... also this would be the easiest explanation if they want to side-step things

One way to get through my book queue is to be a vampire and dedicate 20 years to reading. Good plan. Also Scott Joplin first was a surprise. I would have brought back art Tatum but the history panel is a weird choice. She could have done a veruz type battle throughout history

He probably only realized that he "dies" every so often after his first life and on his second he started doing his recording. My theory is that none of them were ever bitten by a vampire they are just so boring that they slowly turn into energy vampires. If Lazlo hadnt been bitten by an actual vampire he would have turned into an energy vampire too. Except he would feed off lust and sex DurosKlav fucked around with this message at 16:45 on Sep 10, 2022 |

I guess they implication may be that Colin's family only recently became energy vampires then, since his grandma is dead-dead. Have we heard about his parents? I can't remember. Might've started with them, or maybe Colin's the only one

I've been thinking a lot about this show since I really enjoyed Seasons 1 and 2, but have been slowly losing interest with the following seasons. I feel like one issue that is starting to come up more is that Nadja doesn't have as many story threads as the other vampires. Nandor has Guillermo as well as all the baggage from his past, and the writers aren't afraid to look into his past love interests or do goofy poo poo with him (the cult, his crush with the gym girl, the genie) for better or for worse. Laszlo is a dumbass, and they are happy to put him in situations where his idiocy is the butt of the joke. Colin literally had a whole different world open to him since energy vampires are daywalkers. Nadja lost most of her story threads by the beginning of Season 2. Jenna could and should have been a goldmine of story content since she was Nadja's protege. Jeff got beheaded early in Season 2. Aside from Laszlo, her main interactions are with The Guide and the Nadja Doll. It's just a shame they don't let her go off with Sean's wife Charmaine, find a new Jeff, or get into feuds with her werewolf nemesis Ange. I feel like giving her more supporting characters would help the show avoid dragging out storylines like the Vampire Nightclub.

SpiderLink posted:That's what I thought too, but then the whole "clues to a secret room" thing doesn't make as much sense. True, but would it be the ghost of his birth mother, or the ghost of some woman who found Previous Baby ColinRobinson in 1922 and raised him for a year? And if that happened, did he end up draining her to death as he grew up? That could be part of the energy vampire life cycle, they are reborn as cute babies to trick humans into raising them, quickly grow, while fully draining their parents as their first meal. Lazlo could withstand it because he was a vampire, and then when the others came back that deflected it so Gizmo didn't get drained away.

I liked what she had and I started the season not liking the Guide and now I really like her and Nadja doing girlboss vampire stuff. "Speak, bitch!" I also really liked that she sort of tried with Guillermo's family because she does care about him in her own way and I wanted him to tell her to ask for more than one day "off" a month. Because she's worth more! Hell, even Guillermo gets one day "off" a week now! Basically I want more Nadja-centric plots. Also I don't understand Guillermo this season. I feel like last season Guillermo would've went after Nandor with a stake after the poo poo he pulled with Freddie, hell he thought about killing Nandor for far less! like every season so far! And the duplicate Freddie was seriously hosed up even for the show's standards. Guillermo was a dumb gently caress for offering Derek the full payment up front. Always do half before and half when you wake up, you moron! I do love Simon like, so much. I love his entire crew. Of all the vampires in this dumb show, Simon and his crew are the only ones who seem to be living their undead lives to the fullest. I hope he keeps the stupid hat forever.

Simons bad but that's because Nick Kroll is a one note comedian. Guillermo would never go after Nandor with a stake that's completely against his character and the latent love they have for each other. Colin Robinson's arc combined with the night club was bad but the show is funny enough to carry it. Nadja was given plenty to work with this season which is a refreshing change of pace from earlier seasons when she was just female Laszlo. Bogus Adventure posted:Nadja lost most of her story threads by the beginning of Season 2. Jenna could and should have been a goldmine of story content since she was Nadja's protege.

They don't need another vampire taking up space, especially one that doesn't have a personality outside of people don't notice her. It's literally mind boggling to say that she lost story threads when the majority of this season was about her (and Colin Robinson I guess). Not complaining, I just think they're finally developing her character more.

Jenna was a better story hook than any Nadja's night club aspirations, especially since they did nothing beside add a venue for guest stars (I guess people wanted more Fred Armisen?). Think of all the tales of Nadja's impoverished early years and eventual revenge of taking a poo poo on her enemies' graves that were left by the wayside because she had no one to pass them on to.

Astroman posted:Plot twist: Jenna never left and was in every episode this season. poo poo, that would have been great. Just pop her into the background occasionally and never ever draw attention to it until the reveal, like Judo Master in the Peacemaker opening credits. There was also a manga series which introduced a character almost three years into the run whose magical ability was to blend into the background and practically become invisible, except he'd actually been there the entire time and if you go back and check you can spot him in crowd scenes and he's even listed in the class roll call right at the start. The anime adaptation has been running several years and they show him in the opening credits of every episode but he still hasn't been 'revealed' yet.

The nightclub thing felt like a show in its tenth season. Episode to episode there's a ton of laughs, but the whole thing felt weirdly empty. Even by sitcom standards, it's impressive to see them almost completely disregard everything from last season's finale.

Can anyone recommend any shows similar to this one? I'm looking for visually striking, character-based comedies with horror/surreal elements. Stuff like Wellington Paranormal, The Good Place, Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, Los Espookys. (If you haven't seen Los Espookys, definitely check that one out. Hugely overlooked and underrated.)
