What We Do In the Shadows is the best thing on TV right now. Nadja is a role model.
I said I'm sorry. I've made mistakes, but fear was never one of them.

Atropa, there's a shot in the opening title of Nadja in a leather jacket (with Lazslo) and every week I do a double take thinking it is actually you for a split second. Every week.
(Aside: autocorrect made your name Stripes and when I went to change it back suggested Strops as a replacement and that is just super funny!)

That is possibly the best compliment I've received in ages!

Punishingly Intricate
What We Do in the Shadows also has the best theme song!

Yesssss! I've been loving this season. I thought the ep with the email curse was absolutely inspired, I laughed all the way through it.
I do also love Guillermo's whole arc -- that he's upsettingly good at killing vampires despite venerating them his whole life! That he's trying to protect "his" vampires, at the expense of others. Really brilliant.

Yes, and I also loved that the vampires whose house he ended up at were infinitely more competent than the ones he's used to.

Learned recently that Norma Tanega was Dusty Springfield's live-in lover for many years.

Colin Robinson is so painful to watch but somehow still so funny!
It hit me at the end of the episode - he's a murder hornet!

Ha! He did self compare to a parasitic wasp...
I honestly thought that the most recent episode's plot would have a reveal that, when Colin steals the other vampires' energy, it draws down their high emotions -- like, Colin (who "came with the house", lol) is instrumental in preventing Nandor and Nadja from ventilating each other, in particular. I was a little bummed that it wasn't made explicit but it's definitely headcanon for me!
