What We Do in the Shadows Season 3
SPOILERS TOTAL. You've been warned.
401: Reunited 2022 July 12
(First watched 2025-02-06) Well, I definitely wasn't expecting a year time skip. Reborn Colin or whatever he is has grown a lot for a year, but still doesn't seem like he's going to hit adult stage any time soon.
Nandor's trip around the world seems to have done him some good, he's in a much better mood. Guillermo... is sick of everyone's shit.
The house is amazing in a bad way. You don't get that kind of disaster in a year with neglect, that took some malice.
402: The Lamp 2022 July 12
(First watched 2025-02-06) The hypnosis to retrieve Guide's lost memories was good stuff.
Nandor has found the wife he wants to keep... he thinks... I'm not so sure it will last.
403: The Grand Opening 2022 July 19
(First watched 2025-02-07) After the previous two episodes I was hoping there would be a big payoff to the reborn Colin Robinson, as they seemed to be going to a lot of effort to put Mark Proksch's head on a little body for few laughs. But in this one he's aged to be old enough and actually do more than run around breaking things so it was amusing to see him "become boring" and see Laszlo's disappointment at failing to turn him into the world's most interesting adult.
404: The Night Market 2022 July 26
(First watched 2025-02-07) This episode was really strong on atmosphere more than anything else. Lots of interesting stuff going on at the night market. And I do enjoy seeing Guillermo's fighting instincts be forced into use, even when unintended.
405: Private School 2022 August 2
(First watched 2025-02-07) The attempts at playing human for the interview with a potential private school for Colin was more so-stupid-it's-great.
Also so-stupid-it's-good: Nandor's attempt at using djinn wishes to adjust his face, resulting in the look of too much plastic surgery.
406: The Wedding 2022 August 9
(First watched 2025-02-08) I could not stop laughing during the Baron makeover scene. Too good.
Also Nandor's marriage is doomed.
So once Nandor wished the Baron to be restored, he looked a lot different than he did at the beginning of the series. At first I thought that was odd, as vampires don't age, right? But of course if the Sire was ever human(oid) he's gone through a lot of changes, so I guess the Baron is really damn old if he had degraded to the point from the beginning of the series. Also I assume he has a penis again?
407: Pine Barrens 2022 August 16
(First watched 2025-02-08) Guillermo's family visits, Mexican Van Helsing chaos erupts. Also we learn Guillermo is gay. There were some clear hints in episodes this season with him talking to a masculine voice on the phone, but in a show like this it could've been some sort of swerve and he was dating a woman orc.
The Jersey Devil as featured in this episode looked a lot different from the classical depiction, but... perhaps most memorably in the balls.
408: Go Flip Yourself 2022 August 23
(First watched 2025-02-09) I'm a sucker for shows with episodes that pretend to be other shows. They've been showing Laszlo as a fan of Go Flip Yourself since the beginning of the season, now we see why. One of the brothers does get killed very quickly--it's actually pretty weird to thus see most of the episode with just a single Sklar brother.
I absolutely did not see that twist coming. But realistically, who could've expected Simon the Devious to make a show of hundreds of episodes just to regain access to their house to steal the cursed hat?
This episode is one of the first bits of exposure to this show I remember, though. I saw the clip of Laszlo saying "You really are the most devious bastard in New York City." going around and that amazing pronunciation sticks with you.
Best new addition to Simon's posse: the WICKedly talented Adele Dazeem.
409: Freddie 2022 August 30
(First watched 2025-02-09) OK, what Nandor did, turning his wife into a copy of Guillermo's boyfriend... that's a mighty fucked up thing.
"Baby Colin" had a growth spurt and is now back to being Mark Proksch in both head and body.
410: Sunrise, Sunset 2022 September 6
(First watched 2025-02-10) Full of change. "Baby Colin Robinson"'s hammering of the wall turned out to be some kind of instinct leading him to the records and possessions of original Colin Robinson, allowing him to "regain" his memories and old ways but have no recollection of the previous year. This clearly affects Laszlo, for whom it's like he's had a son for a year that's suddenly disappeared.
Guillermo yet again decides to leave the house, but this time for a change is actually trying to use one of his other vampire connections to hook him up with vampirism.
