I'm going to see to Wesley, see if he's still whimpering.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

What We Do In the Shadows is the best thing on TV right now.

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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

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

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!

Aw, I just found out that Joel McHale and Ken Jeong started a podcast called The Darkest Timeline. Haven't listened to it yet but that's potentially good. The latest episode features a Zoom cast reunion, that almost has to be good.

The idea that Colin Robinson came with the house is so subtly creepy.

It is. I kinda hope they explore that some more. But maybe not too much

Ann, that's a ferret.

Please tell me they really did have a cat named Dog.
