Top notch episode! I felt like last season dragged a bit, but this one has been great so far.

Somehow, even though it may seem counterintuitive, it's just right that Colin Robinson would be comfortable as a TV weatherman. They are often the friendlier, folky component of local TV news but, really, they're kind of awful.
Sportscasters are smarmy assholes who bullshit, so that tracks.

One hundred percent. It was so perfect.
I loved that Nadja and her dolly went blonde together. And I loved the cutthroat passion from Joanna Roscoe to get the footage of the vampires raising the car. It was a pleasant surprise.
Poor Gizmo who says goodbye to his mother every week.

I love how everything they tried just kept escalating the disaster. If they'd left it at Nandor saying they'd lived there for centuries everyone would have just thought him a nutter, but they have no clue as to how the human world works.

It was really nice to see Frankie Quinones as Guillermo's cousin in this; if you're not already watching This Fool, you should be.
