what about MASH?

voodoo chili, Wednesday, 27 May 2020 22:09 (three years ago) link

Has any other story delved into the ingenious notion that vampires, having technically died, could be haunted by their own ghosts?

Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 27 May 2020 22:10 (three years ago) link

Ooh, MASH. More or less same characters and, imo, better than the movie, iirc.

Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 27 May 2020 22:10 (three years ago) link

Friday Night Lights?

Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 27 May 2020 22:11 (three years ago) link

Either M*A*S*H or Jugglos

FNL fer sure.

There was a scene in last week's episode when Lazlo materialised in the cursed hat and Nadja did the most amazing look to camera, it's been my highlight of the whole show.

But it's Colin Robertson for me. I loved a couple of weeks ago when somebody just called him Colin and he corrected them to Colin Robertson, because that's what his actual name is and not a combination of Colin and Robertson.

can you believe i'd never seen an episode of this until today, despite the fact that two, maybe three of its main five cast are cast-iron imago household favourites

happily i've now seen the pilot and am very excited for the rest

it feels like waititi/clement had these exact actors in mind before they committed to making it a tv show

Only as far as the first cursed hat episode, but its fun so far and I'm always a fan of Matt Berry even if he always plays Matt Berry.

"your hat is bleeding".

Stoop Crone (Trayce), Friday, 29 May 2020 05:22 (three years ago) link

Laszlo for me, his voice & intonations crack me up so much.
Also a Matt Berry fan
and i love erotic topiary
and hats made of 100% witch skin

This week's ep was the weakest in the season imo.

Mud... jam... failure (aldo), Friday, 29 May 2020 11:55 (three years ago) link

Aw, it was still fun though. Greta Lee, the Seafarer's Song, the very last scene.

Blink-and-you'll-miss-it reference to Wannabe also being one of their songs.

I thought this episode was fine, but ... how come Nandor didn't realize (redacted) was a not a vampire?

Josh in Chicago, Friday, 29 May 2020 17:01 (three years ago) link

Was she actually in the room when he was there?

change display name (Jordan), Friday, 29 May 2020 17:11 (three years ago) link

Yeah, she blows the (I assume fake) blood vape in his face.

Josh in Chicago, Friday, 29 May 2020 17:33 (three years ago) link

That was Guillermo?

Mud... jam... failure (aldo), Friday, 29 May 2020 21:08 (three years ago) link

He does work through the open-plan living room when she's there, but iirc is deliberately avoiding direct contact

also, Nandor is a big dummy

massage angry pixels (sic), Friday, 29 May 2020 21:27 (three years ago) link

Nandor is a total dummy.

Josh in Chicago, Friday, 29 May 2020 21:29 (three years ago) link

Wait, has every episode had a post-credits stinger?

Josh in Chicago, Friday, 29 May 2020 22:11 (three years ago) link

only a few

Yeah Nandor is incredibly self centred, wouldn't necessarily notice/care that she wasn't a vamp.

chap, Saturday, 30 May 2020 00:47 (three years ago) link

A disdainful "Terrifying" is already a meme in our house and we only saw the episode yesterday. Helps that I'm already much more like Matt Berry than I'd previously been willing to admit

imago, Saturday, 30 May 2020 19:35 (three years ago) link

My vote is probably (as it stands) Nadja though, because the Demetrious have come along with their pushy Greek Cypriotness and taken TV comedy by the scroll of its neck

imago, Saturday, 30 May 2020 19:38 (three years ago) link

What is her brother up to? Is there a third season of Stath?

Josh in Chicago, Saturday, 30 May 2020 19:57 (three years ago) link

There is this

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

System, Monday, 1 June 2020 00:01 (three years ago) link

one month passes...

Can't believe we haven't done this:

Nandor = Rose
Laszlo = Blanche
Nadja = Sophia
Dorothy = Guillermo (apologies to Colin Robinson)

confirmation that Nadja is the best.

3 eps in to the second season and it's just as strong as the first imo.

neith moon (ledge), Friday, 3 July 2020 13:47 (three years ago) link

oops Guillermo = Dorothy

neith moon (ledge), Friday, 3 July 2020 13:48 (three years ago) link

if you do Designing Women you don't have to omit Colin Robinson

avellano medio inglés (f. hazel), Friday, 3 July 2020 14:07 (three years ago) link

never heard of it!

neith moon (ledge), Friday, 3 July 2020 14:12 (three years ago) link

nadja saying "colin robinson" is one of my favourite things.

jackie daytona episode and the colin robinson/evie the emotional vampire episode are both really great

oscar bravo, Friday, 3 July 2020 14:19 (three years ago) link

two weeks pass...

When Colin meets the Actual Troll and keeps him talking/nodding off til sunrise, is the joke that his dick unpixellates as soon as he turns to stone some reference to statues not being obscene where real "people" are?

Stoop Crone (Trayce), Monday, 20 July 2020 06:47 (three years ago) link

yes imo

Steppin' RZA (sic), Monday, 20 July 2020 07:49 (three years ago) link

Excellent show btw cant wait for S3.

Stoop Crone (Trayce), Monday, 20 July 2020 11:11 (three years ago) link

I stand by my opinion of S2 not being quite as funny the first, but everyone seems to disagree with me.

chap, Monday, 20 July 2020 11:13 (three years ago) link

I loved the abrupt final gag of the last episode

Dadjokke (Sgt. Biscuits), Monday, 20 July 2020 11:21 (three years ago) link

Nadja's actor is a host on Netflix's "Great Flower Fight" and basically everything she says sounds like Nadja could have said it. It's delightful.

Doctor Madame Frances Experimento, LLC", Monday, 20 July 2020 12:26 (three years ago) link

Nadja is my favorite but Guillermo might be my #2

this has been the best year fuiud (rip van wanko), Monday, 20 July 2020 17:24 (three years ago) link

it's all about watching Nadja's facial expressions when anyone else is talking

avellano medio inglés (f. hazel), Monday, 20 July 2020 17:27 (three years ago) link

I just watched Snuff Box for bonus Berry. That show was pretty fucked up.

Josh in Chicago, Monday, 20 July 2020 17:31 (three years ago) link

Nadja was briefly in Eurovision movie w her brother :D

terminators of endearment (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 21 July 2020 01:43 (three years ago) link

Last season was unrewarding wrt Guillermo imo but overall he’s my favourite. Love all the vampires equally

Yes, last season of Guillermo was a real shrug.

Daniel_Rf, Sunday, 24 December 2023 14:28 (four months ago) link

I can’t post about it without feeling like I’m spoiling it but the moment that x waves hello to Guillermo right before y happens will live in my head rent-free forever

starts again on BBC2 tonight at 10

koogs, Tuesday, 2 January 2024 16:54 (three months ago) link

I thought last season at least did a good job of explaining why Guillermo wouldn't be able to hack it as a vampire but yeah the whole storyline was weird mostly because it was paced so strangely. the finale should've been like 3-4 separate episodes, they built up way too much tension only to have to dissolve things in a flash
