Yea like I always look forward to each weeks episode and this one was like genuinely one of if not the worst wwdits episode (genuinely haven’t been able to decide whether or not i think Freddie is worse lol). Like the Colin and Nandor sideplot was cute but everything else was such a mess. It felt rushed like there should have been either a lot more rewrites, some better design decisions, or the episode as a whole should have stayed on the cutting room floor. I think the Guillermo Frogs should have stayed the only hybrid experiments cuz those were at least funny cute but these are just uncomfortable like… you’re telling me that fuckass fish is gonna be in their backyard from now on? I don’t ever wanna see it again 😭😭😭. (Thinking about the electricity problem in that same pool that killed Topher…)
The last 5 episode have all come from the same director so it might have also been whiplash from this episode having a different director who’s style might have not complimented the previous ones but even then it was just a bad episode. Like not even bad in an enraging way like Freddie was where it made me really sad over how they treated Guillermo and Marwa but just bad in a this writing is abysmal way. I really hope the next 3 episodes are better and we can just forget this one happened lol.
Not gonna have the weekly mass reblog of What We Do in the Shadows this time cause honestly, I really didn’t like this episode. I loved the Colin and Nandor plot line, but the other two were just garbage if I’m being honest.
Some people are claiming this episode is “just filler” which is such a ignorant take because the show is episodic. There are so many episodes that have nothing to do with the center overarching plot line. But it’s just that this episode probably sticks out because it wasn’t as well written. The hybrids made me so uncomfortable due to their incredibly uncanny valley designs that I couldn’t enjoy any of their scenes. It didn’t help that not a single joke made me laugh this time.
And don’t get me started on Nadja’s plot line. I knew the witch lady was a scam, but her motivations were so strange even for this show. It felt like the writer’s could not think of anything to do with her other than the teaching role.
It really didn’t help that last week’s episode was amazing. But I’m not mad at the show at all. Every show has their mid to bad episodes. It’s whatever but just no mass reblogging this time to celebrate. I’m still excited for what comes next tho. Can’t wait for that.
