I noticed that Harvey Guillen, who plays Guillermo, interviews people associated with the show before the episodes air on a channel called "Before the Shadows." The youtube channel has less then 50 subscribers, and the Twitter has less than 500 followers, so that's no fun. He needs more!

I would watch an entire series of Jackie Daytona from Arizonia. I have to admit it took me half the episode to realize that was Mark Hamill.

This show isn't getting a fraction of the attention it deserves.

That whole Jackie Daytona montage killed me.

Nadja needs some more female companions or enemies. Would like to see some more female vamps. The sidestory with the vampire hunters has potential for that.

Are they doing a character-centric episode for everyone? Definitely interested in more Nandor

the part where they pulled out the cue sticks and held them light lightsabers and then they both did the "eh" and snapped them in half to make crosses fucking killed me.. LOL

Hamill was great if not a bit underused but it left it open for him to come back. His reaction when Lazlo had the toothpick in and then took it out was hilarious

Jackie Daytona bit had me laughing the whole time.

And I didn't even realize that was Mark freakin Hamill until I saw this thread! HOLY SHIT!

I coulda swore I heard someone make lightsaber mouth noises during the cue-stick scene but just thought I misheard but now this makes SO MUCH SENSE.

I may have to rewatch the episode next week.

It was, genuinely surprised by the reactions here. I like how everyone always refers to him by his whole name.

It reminds me of the bit from Toast of London where every episode Matt Berry would yell, "Yes I hear you Clem Fandango!" it gets me every time.

And yes I would also enjoy the further adventure of Jackie Daytona from Tucson, Arizonia!

It totally reminded me of the Wallace and Gromit scene with Feathers, when he takes his rubber glove hat off and it's so obviously been him the entire time, and Wallace's stunned reaction, "It's you!"

A friend pointed out this was like a live-action A-game Roger-centric episode of American Dad and yeah it really is.

I always have to wait a day for new episodes to show up on Hulu -- it is always nice to come to this thread before that to see that the people who watched it Wednesday night really loved the new episode.

Did anyone else here think it was Ian McShane as Jim? I mentioned it to my wife, she agreed and we never thought about it again. Stunned to hear it was Mark Hamill.

Wow I feel like I watched a totally different episode than everyone here. This is probably the first episode that I found boring, with just about every joke falling flat for me. Lazslo's a fun character, but he just doesn't work on his own.

No I thought so too. The last few episodes haven't really worked for me - I'm afraid the show's shtick is starting to wear thin.

That is the creepiest damn thing. I love it.

When training the neonate he implied he did it because it focuses him to transform.

True, but doesn't he also say that's something he excels at when training her? Like it's part of his talent as a vampire? Nobody else seems to need to do that, so it's just funny to me.

I agree somewhat but I like that they're branching out and trying new weird ideas at least. It doesn't feel stale to me even if it's not as consistently good.

That's a good comparison now that I think of it. Been awhile since I watched American Dad with Roger's changing personas.

I thought this might have been the funniest episode this season. Jackie Daytona and his love for high school volleyball was great.

First season had a couple of stinkers like the Manhattan and Orgy episodes. This season is 3 for 6 right now. First two episode plus Colin's promotion were great, but the others were mostly flat. I think the show is generally at its best when it plays with mythical folklore instead of making fun of the vampires for being out of touch.

What we do before the shadows is some good stuff, glad it got shared here because I didn't realize it was a thing. Harvey just did another one with Mark Hamill



and the one with Natasia was hilarious!



Shame they don't get the attention they deserve.

I didn't quite get why Elvis was in this episode, but loved Colin Robinson getting energy by trolling on the internet. And of course Kroll was great.

That moment when Guillermo and Nandor were staring at each other and backing away slowly had me rolling in the floor. Just the look on both of their faces... lmao

Just once I'd like to see Nandor revert back to his warrior days and shock the hell out of everybody, since he's become so neurotic and passive over the centuries.
