Come Out and Play

In referencing the movie The Warriors on the way in to the warehouse, and then the seeing Vampire Baseball Furies and the journey back to Staten Island, this was a really enjoyable episode. Such a shame that I've only got 2 eps remaining.

I particularly like Matt Berry's line "I see you know your Judo well" - a nod to that Succulent Chinese Meal clip on YouTube.

Overall, this Season is a little weaker than the previous 3 but still contains plenty of strong episodes. It's such a shame that it's finished as I thought they could have gotten a couple more seasons out of it but I suppose leaving us wanting more is the right thing to do.

This episode is an homage of sorts to the movie "The Warriors". If you haven't seen the movie, you might not get the references. Also, if you haven't seen "The Warriors", give a try. It's a great '70 classic.

This episode is one of the best of the series, IMO. Last week they brought the characters back to their old ways. The show really needed that. This episode they brought the SHOW back to its best all around. Every character shines and I have laughed more at this episode than I have all season. They also clear up the question of Nandor and the Guide. (You know you wanted to know) The one thing they have really kept under wraps well is how this show will end. How do vampires have a happy ending?

I was getting pretty bummed out about the overall mediocrity of this season.

But this episode demonstrates that they still have some comic oomph left, especially if they bring back elements that work: Baron Afanas; the fancy New York vampires (with the poor Staten Islanders being the unglamorous cousins); and the long-dormant concept of Guillermo's family having Van Helsing vampire-fighting blood.

This episode was just one crazy thing after another, and all the characters were integrated together for a change rather than them being relegated to A and B plots, one of which usually doesn't work.
