There was a credit for the Siren voice in the credits that made me think this. Also, Nadja is 100% going to London to be the P.A/Kristen Schaal position

Poor Gizmo.

I don’t know why I got such a kick out of it, but when conversations were going on in the main room, and The Sire’s head would turn to look at each person speaking, I loved it... the little details....

Literary reference FTW.

I think his species is like groot. Remember he's the only one without a ghost.

Of all the vampires I have met, Colin Robinson was the most....human.

If Nandor had to be permanently done with WWDITS for fucking Cruella 2, that would elicit the biggest “fucking guy” from me that the world has ever heard.

Colin Robinson has to regenerate or something right? Nandor looked like he didn't fully read the pages.

I’ve been enjoying the Cree Summer’s Actual Face resurgence. I feel like she disappeared completely after A Different World and then just in the past couple years has popped up recurring on Better Things and Queen Sugar and now this! Not sure what made her want to be live again, but I’m glad it’s happening.

can vampires hypnotise each other? Nadja seems to be a master in the art of gas lighting and, well, Nandor is Nandor...:D

I love how the Guide just holds up the remote control for it right after.

The pronunciation they finally settled on for The Sire’s name sounded a fair bit like ‘Guillermo’.

You don’t really need fun history facts since this episode is packed with shout-outs and call-backs. My favorite is the love for del Toro’s Hellboy, where another ‘old friend’ helps the gang save the day:

Now playing

Same. On paper it is kind of “what?” but the visual was perfection.

I loved Nandor’s exclamation of “This fucking guide!” as a riff on his “This fucking guy!” catchphrase.

Derek stole the show on this episode. His little kicker part during the credits where he’s selling the pillows was awesome. I hope he becomes more of a regular on the show.

Not only did half a dozen vamps fall for the snake oil— the extra joke in the way they stage that scene is that they don’t die simultaneously, because only one at a time can go out through the door, so each one goes up in flames in full view of whoever’s trying to get out next, who presumably thinks “Sucks to be you,

Capaldi’s final two seasons are the best

And Missy’s final redemption came the way The Doctor described alone and unremarked and unseen. He knew she was on the way to redemption, but never saw her decision to actually be redeemed. So thinking she just regenerated and returned to form would fit his concept of The Master.

I find them all very likable, but the review touched on a weakness I hadn’t really thought about: they don’t know anything about the Doctor because they don’t really ask. After Bill, a companion who asked all the right questions, this is a bit of a letdown. Every companion has shown more curiosity to some extent about
