What We Do in the Shadows Season 4
SPOILERS TOTAL. You've been warned.
501: The Mall 2023 July 13
(First watched 2025-02-11) So after some beating around the bush... Guillermo is a vampire... sort of? He's concerned that the transformation is taking longer than he expected. As viewers we don't have much of a baseline for what's considered normal, though. Back in season 1 Jenna took a few episodes for the changes to go all the way. And Guillermo is having some effects, like his eyesight seems to have been repaired.
Buuuut he also learns that a familiar getting turned into a vampire by someone other than their master is a huge insult which basically leads to murder-suicide. Once again, something that could have been brought to my attention yesterday!
502: A Night Out with the Guys 2023 July 13
(First watched 2025-02-13) For a change Sean and his human friends create the biggest craziness for most of this episode, until Nandor has to fix things by hypnotizing the cops into believing that he and Laszlo are Sully Sullenberger and Tom Selleck, respectively.
So over at the Baron's they tested "double vampiring" his neighbor, and he exploded... but didn't Derek go through the same steps as him and not explode? Sucking his blood, and having his blood sucked in return? Or is order of operations important here?
503: Pride Parade 2023 July 20
(First watched 2025-02-13) What a very silly episode. Sean's attempt to suck up to the LGBTQ community is obviously forced for votes, but feels genuine enough. Loving his "Ay, I'm Bein' Gay Ova Here!" shirt.
Laszlo trying to study Guillermo to figure out what his ~vampire deal is, and actually succeeding in using his sweat to create a sort of effective sunscreen for himself.
Nandor being jealous of Guillermo hanging out with Laszlo, and spiting them both my flying to outer space with a GoPro. Seeeeriously, what a ridiculous premise, and the camera shots were just as good.
And last but not least, Nadja and Doll Nadja trading bodies so Doll Nadja could lose her virginity... which just got even creepier by the end of the episode with Doll Nadja and Colin Robinson both in Nadja's body, with Nadja-in-Doll-Nadja's body and Laszlo in bed with them. They are all certainly very proud.
Of course for a comedy show we aren't supposed to think too hard about real fixes to their problems, but considering what a low value they place on human life (frequently killing them by sucking their blood and all), and how apparently easy it is to swap bodies... couldn't they just steal another body for Doll Nadja to keep?
