Obviously putting them on the Vampiric Council is a change, but specifically making certain characters interested in it gives this season a lot of Nandor/Nadja and Laszlo/Colin, combinations we didn't see much of on their own before. | ||
So Guillermo is not PERFECT at manipulating Nando and Nadja as this episode demonstrates, but not a bad job maneuvering himself onto the Vampiric Council throne. | |||
Neighbor Sean is a real dipshit, throwing away every good chance he gets with some new wild chance.}} | |||

The group of vampires thinking they can be human again are kind of nuts, but they have a right to live their life as they want, yeah? YES, Jan did end up sending everyone to their deaths, but this wasn't yet part of the equation when Guillermo kidnapped Nandor. | ||
I am curious how the people in Jan's group managed feeding while convincing themselves they were human... | |||
The matter of vampire depression is another thing that felt familiar from the Anne Rice books. There even vampires of 1-200 years often started to mourn the loss of the world they knew and wouldn't go on and would either kill themselves...}} | |||

I appreciated that this episode put some earlier events of the season into new context. Laszlo ripping a page out of the book in the Vampiric Council library wasn't just a wanking joke, but to hide information from Colin Robinson about his impending demise. His willingness to spend so much time with Colin this season was tied into the same. And this episode... yeah, Colin sure did seem to demise, as demonstrated by Nandor accidentally smashing his head post mortem. But uhhh I sure still see Mark Proksch on the art for season 6. But I don't know exactly what this means for the return of Colin Robinson, and for all I know he could pull a Daniel Jackson and be gone from the show for a while. | |||

But now we seem to be left with three threads: Nandor starting his trip around the world, Nadja with unprepared Guillermo going to London, and Laszlo raising a reborn Colin Robinson.}} | ||
