S03.E09: A Farewell

[BK1978]

This is one of the rear shows where I really like the entire main cast.  Normally there is one or two characters on a show that I do not like.

So it sucks if the great Colin Robinson is indeed dead.  Besides the death of Colin Robinson, the rest of the episode was enjoyable.

I gasped when Nandor smashed his head.

Me too!

I loved the callback to Lazlo ripping the page out of the book was actually for a non-pornographic reason and to protect Colin Robinson. This season has had more continuity errors than previous seasons so it was nice to see something unexpected and smart from a story arch perspective.

I still love this show, and it's much smarter than the average comedy show, but this season has felt episodic to me. My favorite shows are more serial in nature, and the change has been a teensy bit disappointing. There's still excellent jokes and funny gags, but there hasn't really been an overarching story or theme for this season, and I've missed that aspect of the show this year.

I'm with everyone else that Colin Robinson will evolve into something different. He's too pivotal of a character to lose. I can't believe next episode is the season finale already. I'm going to miss watching a new episode each week.

Okay, I admit it. I cried. I laughed when Nadja said Colin Robinson farted a quiet fart before dying but then I continued crying. I’m verklempt…☹️

I don’t think Lazlo was insincere about making sure Colin Robinson had a good time in his last few months. Or that he does it to make himself look good.

It was really nice of Nadja to stay through all the farting

I tried to recognize the song, but no luck. 

Like you, the whole Nadja killing Nandor made me thing the same thing too. I didn't even think about Carol.

I am disappointed that it was not the Humpty Hump.

As you can imagine, I was thrilled to see her in the episode 😆

I love her and she looked gorgeous, as always.

I had to laugh when Nandor was in the cage early in the episode and Colin Robinson entered with "What we have here is a failure to communicate."  I heard that line more than once when I was in college because the all-time favorite movie of my then boyfriend was Cool Hand Luke.  I wonder if that was a meta comment that people who go around quoting movie lines are like energy vampires, or maybe the writer knew someone else who kept using that one line and was taking a dig at them.

I definitely thought it was the former.

One bit of continuity that kind of bugged me: the whole reason our vamps were sentenced to death by the Vampiric Council back in Season 1 (and again in the Season 2 finale) was because they had committed the crime of killing another vampire. So how is Nadja allowed to claim she killed Nandor without any consequences?

When Nadja and Nandor watched the Vampiric Council HR it said the only rule for being on the council is that you can do whatever you want. So I guess once you are on the council you are basically above the law.
