The series itself is even cute) About how the characters are just lamp-like friends with each other for 20 minutes and make funny jokes and make faces. And I really liked it.
BUT there are three episodes until the end of the ENTIRE SERIES, and they threw Chekhov's guns: the capture of Three States, the monster of Cravensworth, Guillermo's boss, Lazlo's father, these awkward relationships between Colin and Lazlo in the series with Lazlo's father, Nandor's new love interest (?I still don't understand the last point from which asterisk it came to him in the head) and now there is a feeling that it would be time to shoot, if we don't want hanging tails at the end of the series ... And ... Then it's as if the characters are already beginning to say goodbye, which is why some unpleasant taste of bitterness on the tongue. Of course, you can do a lot in three episodes, but the series has become too close to just put up with an unsatisfactory blurred ending (I'll be honest, and it's just hard to come to terms with the ending).
@Lorealya666: so Nandor fell for the guide in the series about hypnosis in the series about Lazlo's father there were no guns, they just remembered that Lazlo raised Colin Robinson
She's unhypnotized everyone there, except Nandor-it's nice. Why are these Chekhov guns? The monster is just another Persian, Dad appeared on the series and is now amusingly stored in a safe at Colin Robinson's. He fulfilled his mission - he revealed more Laszlo.
I couldn't figure out what was wrong with this season compared to the previous ones, and finally it came to an end)
Previously, there was some kind of end-to-end plot for the whole season - and common to all (such as relationships with the baron, vampire councils, courts, werewolves, etc.), and separate for each character (Guillermo the vampire slayer, Nadia the hostess of the club, etc.) Each episode had its own story + a little bit for the development of a through line. And in the last episode there was a logical ending, where all the lines converged into one.
Now there is no such plot in principle, and as was correctly noted before, the season resembles a collection of previously cut ideas. Each episode is just a comic sketch, they are not related to each other in any way, there is no common idea, no development of the characters, no significance for the series as a whole.
Hence the question - why was this final season needed if you told everything in the previous ones? Couldn't season 7 have been made a couple of episodes longer and finalised? I'm not exactly complaining, it's always nice to look at my favorite characters, but remembering the great scenes when Guillermo arranges a bloodbath of vampires or all the adventures with the baron, it's heaven and earth compared to the plots of this season.
Maybe it's even good - it won't be a shame that the season is final...
@Marrrrrrrrrrusia: Well, the plot for the characters as a whole can be traced: Colin Robinson, after Jerry rejected him, is trying to find a friend. Lazlo is busy with science (again), Nadia is trying to socialize among people (again). Guillermo finds a new purpose in life, rethinks himself. Nandor... uh... Learning to live without Guillermo? his development as a whole has been neglected since season 4, so everything is the same here too. I also agree with the criticism of the season itself. there is no feeling that this is the last season, there is no general coherent plot, except for the office. some episodes are frankly weak, there is no funny fierce game like before. It was as if they were doing it without a soul, just to somehow finish it.
@сatzilla: It is clear that the life of each hero does not stand still, but the problem is that it should be interesting not only to the hero, but also to the viewer) I'm glad that some of the characters have found themselves in office life, but as a spectator, a vampire club with fountains of blood is much more interesting for me to watch than glass meeting rooms and office gossip. Making a gray office the center of action in a vampire series is not the best solution, in my opinion.
And a great point - "there is no fierce game" - that's it. I'm watching the sitcom Ghosts in parallel now, that's about the same level of family friendly. But what's good about good family comedies is just suffocating this series (
@Marrrrrrrrrrusia: it seems to me that they were trying to pay tribute to the office, from which all these mockumentary series came, only it should have been done earlier, and not in the final season. one parody episode would be enough. It's boring to watch, I agree. the idea of making Nandor a cleaner is generally a cringe.
@сatzilla: They made a moron out of Nandor this season at the level of Sean's neighbor. But that was the role he originally had, but Nandor used to be just old-fashioned, a little naive, but quite perceptive when he needed it. Nandor from the first seasons in his life would not have gone to work as a cleaner or an assistant, he was making plans to take over Staten Island!
And Guillermo used to communicate with vampires politely, patiently explaining some things to them. Now he just behaves like an orderly in a madhouse with raving madmen - rolls his eyes and ignores. In principle, I do not like this general vibe of imbecility instead of eccentricity, as it was before.
