The Escape

This episode saved this season for me. I was about to leave the show and move on to others, but this episode changed my mind.

The writing is so good, the jokes and character development improved. The story is strong and innovative. I love the return of one special character, which I felt underused and underestimated. I hope that following episodes manage to keep the good vibes going on.

IT TOOK A SEASON BUT I DO LOVE THIS SHOW AND IM VERY HAPPY IT KEEPS GETTING BETTER. Matt berry is the real deal.

There's a lot to be said about this episode. First of all Nandor feels he is responsible for the loss of the original vampire whose safety is absolutely necessary, even though Nadja forgot to tell him to feed the thing. Soon they have dug up that horror who is buried outside. He is just a trunk and a head and, before he was buried, sewed some wild oats in modern Long Island. So this is about recapturing this thing because it is said that if he dies, all vampires will die. Laszlo tries to tame him down by playing music, but accidentally swallows his harmonica. There are several funny scenes as the group clashes. Once again, Gullermo organizes and guides them and gets no credit whatsoever.

This episode brought a breath of fresh air with it. Although the scope of the world in the series was expanded last season, it still mostly focused on the original group. This episodes manages to bring together a greater number of characters, some old some new, in a way which fills out the expanded setting more convincingly. The dynamics between characters work well and there's a cheery atmosphere throughout the episode.

The episodes is packed with content, but it's still well paced. It's in contrast with some other episodes where the pacing has been slower. I feel like in this episodes, the greater number of characters allowed for the slower moments to be avoided, making it more engaging than what we've come to expect.

The episodes ends in a moment that has the potential to be a classic scene. It encapsulates the humour of the movie and this series perfectly.

The best episode of the whole series!! The harmonica, The flamingo floatie and Doug Jones!
