The first episode of theshows final seasonalso opens with the reintroduction of a vampiric figure from the gangs past.
It just makes everyone feel weird and bad, and so Jerry has to go.
(See also: Nandors hypnotically induced Nixon impression, Billy Joel lyrics being quoted verbatim.)
It also sees Nadja continuing her arc toward actually trying to help others, albeit for selfish reasons.
And how does she show that love?
By threatening him, of course!
Guillermo would also never admit it, but I think he likes being needed.
Why else would he stay so close?
Anyway, back to Jerry.
But another running theme inWhat We Do in the Shadowsis just how dull and repetitive eternal life can be.
With that in mind, Jerry still having ambitions is odder than the gang giving up on theirs.
Laszlo ends up being sidelined in his own reanimation scheme, which does and doesnt fit his character.
But he can also be quite industrious when he wants to be.
Sometimes he even combines his passions, as in his Victorian-era jack-off machine powered by a real(?)
living(??)
(Talking about alchemy will do that.)
And it does it again here in a jokey, self-aware fashion.
So this obviously wont stick.
You cant return to a simpler time, as much as you might like.
Its true in comedy writing and in life.
Is Dr. Victor Frankenstein a real person in the world ofWhat We Do in the Shadows?
Do he and Laszlo have beef?
Will he appear at the vampires doorstep before the series ends?
(Sure, hed be dead, but thats never stopped this show before.)
If so, who will play him?
You clean up shit.
He just wants a friend.
(Im not volunteering or anything, just saying.)
So Jordan (Tim Heidecker) is a vampire, right?
Calling that one now.
