Galileo908 Tuesday at 02:37 AM Author Share Tuesday at 02:37 AM Nandor vacuuming the desks was slaying me. And Nadja continues to slay with her Working Girl look. And her and Laszlo's matching outfits. Jordan is an ass, so of course Gizmo accidentally calls him "Master." He's starting to realize that being the familiar to literal vampires is way better than being the underling to a corporate overlord. I felt so bad for Nandor in this one. And he quit the documentary?! Oh shit. But next week's preview shows it's not the last we'll see of him. We finally got to see the railroad Laszlo and Colin work at! Which is, of course, fake. Loved seeing Sean-nie again. I was dying at Monster interviewing him. 9 Link to comment
Lantern7 Tuesday at 04:48 AM Share Tuesday at 04:48 AM Time to merge elements introduced in the first two episodes. Well, just Cannon Capital and the Monster. Jerry gets to watch the episode after his cold open. Maybe he can get Nandor's attention now that the elder vampire has free time. I'm thinking "Ms. The Guide" would be exhausting to be around by himself. Gizmo is immune from vampire hypnosis after at least a decade of exposure. Sean is subjected to six years to that, and he's barely coherent. Seems fair. Hey, I'm happy Anthony Atamanuik was able to find a good role after he played a real-life figure on a Comedy Central show 6-7 years ago. We get Laszlo and Colin Robinson teaming up again to try and help Sean, but it backfires when the (The?) Monster gives him a position at the railroad company that doesn't exist. Meanwhile, Nandor gets what's left of his heart stabbed by Guillermo, who is forced to fire him as a janitor. Poor guy. I liked his attempt at trying to hide from the other workers. Hypnosis probably would have solved all his problems, but the show didn't resort to that. That's a good thing. Also, Nadja doesn't wear out her welcome just yet, and she gets Cannon Capital to buy the floor that her husband and Colin Robinson were using for their fake train company. Tim Heidecker has not worn out his welcome. Yet. 7 Link to comment
possibilities Tuesday at 06:48 AM Share Tuesday at 06:48 AM I think it's really interesting that Nandor and Nadja have been openly saying they want to be there to help Guillermo. That alone is a real pride-swallow/shift for both of them. And I do wonder why Guillermo climbed the corporate ladder in two weeks. Hypnosis? Sean is the best. Lazlo caring about his friendship is also the best. None of our friends care about taking over the world, either. Guillermo failed at being a vampire. And our crew is becoming a little more human. 11 Link to comment
thuganomics85 Tuesday at 08:39 AM Share Tuesday at 08:39 AM Even if they have accumulated a bodycount throughout the years that can probably fill up an entire state or country, the vampire gang is still somehow less toxic than the financial bros. Even after some of the shit Guillermo had to do as Nandor's familiar, I still feel like it's wrong watching him basically have to be this Jordan guy's yes man. This show is so insane! Can't remember if they ever brought up what the gang would be telling everyone their "job" was due to their weird hours, so it being a railroad was a fun idea. And then them having to scramble to build an office for it in order to try and help out Sean! Great seeing him again. I really do like his friendship with them: especially Laszlo. You can buy that in his own weird way, Laszlo really does care for him and wants to do right by him. Even if they hypnotized him to the point that he's almost brain dead. At least he isn't doing that anymore! Jerry is back to wanting to take over the country/world again, but as of now, the rest of the gang don't seem quite interested in going forward with that. You just know The Monster will eventually cause some kind of chaos and Colin will act like he has no fault in it whatsoever! Nandor might be cutting ties with the documentary? Doubt it will last long, but I continue to like how we are getting more scenes like this where the gang interacts with the film crew. I think it will end up being a big factor come finale time. 5 Link to comment

Hasn't Nadja just been murdering people so that Guillermo can climb the ladder? Isn't that why she was so offended when he was talking about his success. And the murdering kind of works in this situation, since is probably a job where a lot of people just burn out. And the financial types they have shown are probably seem super self-centered and probably don't notice or care when someone is gone. 19 hours ago, Lantern7 said: Gizmo is immune from vampire hypnosis after at least a decade of exposure.

We had a few of those last week and even one this week. She is really good at manipulating office politics, it turns out. 8 1 Link to comment
peeayebee Wednesday at 07:09 PM Share Wednesday at 07:09 PM (edited) I can't get enough of watching Nandor clean. Dumping trash from waste baskets into the big trashcan then dropping the waste baskets in, too. Spraying coffee mugs with cleaner then dabbing them with the roll of paper towels. Everything he does with a roll of paper towels. Just great. I'm sorry Guillermo was forced to fire him. Has Guillermo always shaken hands weird? Jordan has to just be using Guillermo. I don't think he has any intentional of giving him a real, responsibility-filled promotion. The rest of the staff don't think much of him either. I believe they all see him as their pet monkey. Loved when the office was cheering their latest acquisition, and Nadja joined in by shouting, "Business!" I also love Sean. What a great character, and it's so sweet how much Laszlo likes him. I had forgotten about them working at The Railroad. Colin: The Railroad is a great company. That whole fake office was outstanding. I'm sure I missed a lot of stuff going on. I did see one woman holding two phones to her ears. And there was even a fake Nandor! The way Sean pronounced 'resumé' like 'resume' was perfect. The interview with "Mr Smith" was so funny. The Monster did pretty good playing his part. Loved how Laszlo was standing by with the taser. (Or was it a cattle prod?) Cannon Capital is the worst, but I'm eager to see what happens with them. Nadja: Insolent little shed-dweller! Edited Wednesday at 07:11 PM by peeayebee 5 Link to comment

seacliffsal Wednesday at 09:06 PM Share Wednesday at 09:06 PM I am really enjoying business Nadja! I love watching her push Guillermo up the corporate ladder. But, he better be careful about not appreciating her help as I think this could go really wrong really fast. I also really enjoyed Nandor's janitorial job and am sorry he was fired. He was so excited to be making what he thought were friends. Link to comment

PurpleTentacle Thursday at 12:25 AM Share Thursday at 12:25 AM Also Nandor showing again why he was such a great military leader. You want to discourage non-sexual fraternisation between the men. That's just going to give them ideas. You want them sexually satisfied but not talking too much. That's the key to keeping power. 1 2 Link to comment

MisterGlass Thursday at 03:30 AM Share Thursday at 03:30 AM Sean's increasing befuddlement this episode made me remember one of my favorite scenes from the era of little Colin, when they were interviewing to get him into private school, and they kept hypnotizing the principal and Sean over, and over, and over. He's survived longer than the principal. 2 Link to comment
Hava Thursday at 05:34 AM Share Thursday at 05:34 AM I don't like the implication that Guillermo did something wrong by firing Nandor. Yes, Nandor is his friend, and he didn't want to fire him. But Nandor genuinely did suck at the job and doesn't rely on it the way that Guillermo relies on a job for income. I don't know. I'm glad that Guillermo did it--he needs to look out for his own interests, too. 4 Link to comment
possibilities Thursday at 02:37 PM Share Thursday at 02:37 PM I don't think anyone thinks Guillerlmo did anything wrong. I just think Guillermo was sad about it, and Nandor was also sad about it. Firing your friend is sad. 7 Link to comment
iMonrey Thursday at 03:46 PM Share Thursday at 03:46 PM I thought it was hilarious when Sean came downstairs into the lab and there were two arms hanging from the ceiling in chains right in front of him and he never even noticed. The monster continues to be my favorite part of this season. Using him as "Mr. Smith" was genius. 4 Link to comment

tennisgurl Thursday at 07:02 PM Share Thursday at 07:02 PM First of all, I love that Lazslo and Colin Robinson's idea of how to look like a railroad mainly involved putting model trains everywhere and having people wear conductor hats. That whole plot was hilarious and also weirdly sweet, Lazslo really does care about people in his very strange way. Whenever I hear Jerry talking about taking over the tri-state area, all I can hear is Dr. Doofenshmirtz. The vampires better watch themselves, Perry the Platypus might get involved! So Guillerlmo went from working for actual vampires to corporate vampires. 3 Link to comment
