This episode confirms to me that if Colin Robinson wanted to, he could probably overpower the whole Vampire Council.

You know, the origin of the word "council" is quite interesting...

Joe Gilgun! He would be great.

While that would indeed be great, I meant the smarmy vampire he hangs out with in New Orleans. That guy would be a perfect rival for Laszlo or one of Nadja's ex's

Colin Robinson does not crave power, he craves bureaucracy

People like him already have taken over the world. Have you been to a DMV?

I'm going to assume he just did to the house what he does to jobs, he just walked in one morning set up his room and before anyone else had the common sense to question it he was a fixture.

There was a Seinfeld episode where Kramer does that with a job, and that inspired a homeless guy in NYC to actually do it. He bought a suit at a thrift store for $5 and went to "work" every day. He was able to eat every day for free, either because some department ordered pizza or he'd just find someone he hadn't talked to yet, act like he knew them, and "borrow a few bucks for lunch" because he "lost his wallet". He slept in empty meeting rooms or closets, or sat in on meetings, etc, then stayed up all night.

He did it for 2 years and never got caught.

I've seen the actors mention that their costumes reflect when each felt most prosperous. So Nandor is in late medieval outfits while Laszlo wears Victorian dress. Maybe someone can tell me what style Nadja is wearing.

I'm pretty sure she's a parody of that crazy Countess that bathed in virgin blood, in the way that Nandor is a sort of Vlad stand-in

Man I did not expect an episode that's mostly about Jackie Daytona, the regular human bartender who's really into supporting women's volleyball, but somehow it works.

I appreciate that it didn't turn out he was horny for the girls at all, that would have been way too obvious.

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 love it when an episode just commits to its premise that hard. Like, of course Lazlo would run away and start a new life so let's just follow that. This show is now about a small-town volleyball team. Sure.

I'm torn between wishing it had been a two parter, so we'd have a whole episode of him establishing himself, and then a whole episode for the leadup to and talent show, but wondering if extending the premise any would ruin its perfection

Speaking of which, that acoustic cover of Simply Irresistible was so drat good, for real

The best thing about the orgy episode is Nadja and Laszlo's realization that they are happiest being boring and horny together, which we should all hope to achieve with a partner or two of our choice.

Has he ever actually killed anyone?

It's funny you should ask, back in the 1920s, which I would say is a highly underrated decade, I was working at the Pentagon. That's a building, in Washington DC. Did you know that many postulate the pentagonal design is an invocation of Satan, otherwise known as Lucifer? Of course, Lucifer means "light bringer"...

I think you're remembering that movie very wrongly. He familiar had been with her since he was "her age", which is why the boy becomes her new familiar at the end. he wasn't a pedophile, he had just been in love with her when he was a kid

Considering when they supposedly wrote the song i was expecting a pic referencing the slave trade in the region or something

Ohhhh I bet that was supposed to be the joke. Nadja says something like "Do they not know?" and I didn't catch what they called the song. Something like "the rowing song"? As in slaves rowing?
