IB is cool as shit, but she was way off way she said Fiorenza was “way smarter” than Victor. For him him to survive all of this shit, not being able to shoot, or fight at all, takes a lot of smarts, as especially ascending as a Baron as an Anarch Ventrue. Fiorenza is cold as hell, but considering the mortal world consciousness of that clan, Victor’s ascent to me is far more impressive and took plenty of smarts.
Yeah but It is the voice of him on the phone call prank to the main character on VTMB and not the real voice when he reveals himself to the main character on the underground in the same game "I'm here... boss", but that's ok.
I do wanna hear Jason Carl say "boss" as golden, but mabey he tried, thought it didn't work. He does a damn good job as golden, and fiorenza, if I'm spelling that right. I have a new bench mark to reach for for my own storytelling.
I started playing RPG's since 1980 and I've played once with a GM who was in his league. He was an RPGA DM running a tournament module at Dragoncon in Atlanta. Jason is fabulous.
Eva's little hiss/snarl at 1:36:49 in response to Jaspers "the lives of your friends were not worth my life" is so cute and highly dangerous all at the same time.
Let's talk about Ib. Fiorenza pretty much made it clear that Ib has been planted as an agent and was the source of the two dominated mortal messengers. It seems that Fiorenza (who is very high up in the Camarilla) has an agenda of re-establishing order, even if it means detente in LA between the Camarilla and the Anarchs. Fiorenza also told Victor: "those whom the gods wish to destroy, they first drive mad". Food for thought, yes?
Playing an Exec inspired by Fiorenza in a cyberpunk Red game. I think she's been playing 3d chess this whole time. I think her end goal was always to restructure the Camarilla from the inside. In has been her ghoul for the past 100 years, and now she's all "Ms. Independent"? I don't think so she's still loyal to Fiorenza. And while it is true that Ib may not like the chaos of the Anarchs, I'm sure she doesn't like the close and old minded thinking of the Cam. Fiorenza proposed Victor challenge Vannevar's throne. But I can also guess that Fiorenza has likely eenin the ear of other kindred, the Barons and the Camarilla, she probably even had a chat with Therese. At best, Fiorenza is an Inconnu "industry plant". At worse,Fiorenza wanted both the Camarilla and Anarchs to rethink how they operate.
@@owohscorner Isn’t Fiorenza too young to have been Ib’s regent for 100 years? I thought she had been embraced around the same time as Victor, and was just competent and also experienced enough from her mortal life to essentially do a speedrun up the Camarilla ladder.
Jasper's complete adoration and excitement at Eva's power is everything. I don't think I have loved a vampire couple so much since the first time I saw Spike and Drusilla on Buffy.
Eva: I have to give you 3 wards and she is to give you a fashion show? I swear Gary Golden would give vital information at a bargain if it means more opportunity trolling Nelli. Even the ever-so-serious Jasper laughed out loud.
I have this feeling... maybe he is also doing it to genuinely make Amalia happy. idk, but maybe she has real talent that gets overlooked bc of her clan. ... well, that'd be really sweet, wouldn't it 😛
@@thegaspatthegateway you didn't play Bloodlines, right? Imalia was a selfish and vain ultra popular supermodel before he embraced her, which he did as a messed up punishment of sorts. She is still obsessively hateful against beautiful women, so I would think it more appropriate that she would try to ruin Nelli's line, and that Golden does it as a form of mockery, not to make her happy. Although, as I have been saying, this show is really softcore WoD, so it wouldn't surprise me if they went with the "loving father" approach on this...
@Jimmy Jazz That's one way to publicly indicate how unhappy & insecure you feel I guess... taking your bitterness out on strangers won't help you bud (but therapy might)
Can I just say I LIVE for the Nelli/Golden interactions?!? It seems like Golden is just making his bargains knowing how it strikes daggers into Nelli! I love LOVE it - makes me laugh so hard every time!!! :)
Just go ahead and make Eva a member of the main cast she's practically in every episode anyway and she adds such an interesting dynamic to the coterie especially with her history with Strauss and relationship with Jasper.
should not have touched her man, Eva is a ride or die woman, in this case the dying was done by Rodrigo. Also, just love Josephine's acting, a treasure as always, would love nothing better than her becoming a regular cast member.
@@rag5617 Yep in the last ep she needed to raise it to awaken Jasper from torpor. That requires blood potency one higher. She is clutch: the coterie would be pretty much screwed without her two episodes running now.
Right there with you on that. Outstar (def check out her channel) attended the Bloodlines 2 announcement in person and saw both Jason and Erica, so yep we can say that the content creators are all on the same page.
It would be cool to see him be the narrator/ Storyteller of the game. Being a White Wolf employee there is a chance, though this may just be wishful thinking on my part
@@DragonmasterCire he is not only a ww employee, he is the manager of the intellectual property of the WoD - which is held by Paradox Entertainment in its entirety now. So: he is already a employee of Paradox, basically the whole tabletop rpg now is kinda part of the publicity outreach for bloodlines 2, awkwardly enough.
interesting The North American and German releases contain different edits of the episodes. The German episodes are longer and not censored. This is also how the show was originally broadcast in the respective regions.

I have a feeling the only reason Jason Carl hasn't gotten an actor to play mr golden is because he loves playing the character so much XD that said, he does an amazing job at playing mr golden and his certainly my favourite kindred thus far, comical all the time while still acting serious, it works so well.
Hallmark of good drama. A comical but serious character. "Let us then speak to him in the language of fools, since it is he who pays us" - Lope De Vega Lope's own records indicate that by 1604 he had composed 230 three-act plays (comedias). The figure had risen to 483 by 1609, to 800 by 1618, to 1000 by 1620, and to 1500 by 1632. Montalbán, in his Fama Póstuma (1636) set down the total of Lope's dramatic productions at 1800 comedias. and he was mainly a poet! He was even translated to English during Shakespeare's career. Funny characters are not necessarily clowns. Mercutio in Romeo and Juliet, springs to mind,
1:03:09 Jasper : were they 100% gone? Victor: well, no ones ever 100% gone. Sure the Sabbat arnt 100% gone. . Jason looks up with a thoughtful look on his face
its somewhat of a sore spot I guess. On the one hand side it makes for great storytelling to bring in the extra chaos of Sabbath (the old LA by night book had GREAT storylines about Mohammed al-Muthlin and his gang the Sons of the Crypt) - but Jason Carl IS WoD and they decided to can the Sabbat altogether in V5. So it probably is the struggle: to contradict the strategy that V5 took with the Metaplot, only a few years and only 6 books in for the sake of a chronicle thats supposed to promote the new V5? Don't get me wrong, I get the reasoning behind the Sabbats Exodus. They tried to make V5 more about the struggle to keep the masquerade in a world of NSA, digital footprints and literally hundreds of cameras around you every damn moment. War ghouls and pillaging tzimisce don't go well with that.
She knew she could do this, but she didn't want to do it & at the same time she knew she had to be the one to do it. Strauss abused her so much & made her think her Sire was dead for 40 yrs or More. She just wanted her Freedom and Strauss is trying to take that away from her or worse and if Strauss can change Katya to be the Opposite of what she was the last time Eva saw her, then he could forcably change Eva that way too.
Jasper and Eva finally together Eva: yeaaaa.. Strouse is gonna hurt everyone I love Jasper: Well f*ck Victor: Welp, the prince already wants to kill us so don’t worry, we got each other The prince a few episodes back: FILL HIM WITH GOOOOOLD
I love watching them remain in character even when they're not actively role playing. Like when Nelli was healing; Jasper starts heaving and wheezing then Eva begins comforting him while Kasey has a mental breakdown.
In the story it makes perfect sense that Annabel is not here, after all, apart from clarifying things with Mark, it is her duty as leader to spend a long time with the Valkyries and Ramona for their losses.
Eva is my favorite guest, I hope she can be a full time cast member because I always enjoy her interacting with Jasper and everyone else. That Zeus bit was awesome!!!
Jason Carl never fails to impress me with his amazing ability to not only tell an extremely compelling story, but to also populate the story with a myriad of wonderfully voice acted NPC's 🙂.
Can I just say I love how wonderfully EXTRA everybody else's appearance is. The make-up, the outfits, the props, all of it. And then there is Victor. God its so wonderful. I love it.
I have to say, I'm glad we're getting more Eva in this season, she's a great character and her acting is just on point. Between Josephine and Alex, both of their acting and mannerisms/facial expressions really steal the show every time they're on screen, I love it! Also their relationship is rather interesting, can't wait to see where it goes
Where in the episode does that get mentioned? I have watched and re watched this episode but can not for the life of me find that refference? Do you have a timestamp on that?
I know it’s kind of a gag that Imalia may be repulsive and the coterie makes fun of the fashion show stuff. But I think Golden is aware that Imalia is... repulsed by herself due to her clan. And I think Golden is being very sweet to try and give her a sense to feel beautiful. And I think Imalia is envious of Nelli in this sense- and really just wants the approval of her, or at least some thought that a Toreador may find her designs beautiful? I think nelli, if she can find it in herself, to really embrace the opportunity to warm over Imali it could do well for the Coterie. I also think it could be a really beautiful and warm moment for the two, in an attempt to feel Humanity again. Granted i understand it’s all just angles to be played but I think there could be a genuine moment between the two. Even if Nelli finds Imalias designs disgusting, I think if she really tries and finds it in herself to be genuine with Imalia and get pssed her nosferatu appearance and enjoy the chance at maybe designing with her, it could build a seriously good relationship and be a really nice moment. Or maybe I’m just ranting and being a fool. Either way, I’d love to see it.
Again - awesome job, Mr. Carl how can you be so prepared for every single situation your players come up with? I master VtM since the first edition, but even I cant think of every single situation my players come up with so far in advance...darn, I learn with every episode. Thank you so much!
I believe they have a loose canvas of what is going to happen, somehow... either that, or the players are much more "disciplined" than the average table ;)
Let me start of by saying that there's NOTHING WRONG with scripting stuff like this, it is probably one of the reasons it works so well in regards to entertaining us. But really, there shouldn't be any doubt about the show being somewhat scripted :) There's a lot of "loose" moments where the dice can change the scene a lot. But there's pretty clearly outlined scenes that has been set up in advance or it wouldn't work like it does. I've played at and run tables where we do this as well; we are more interested in getting to play the scenes everyone wants to play instead of organically getting there. But mostly we play more chaotic, "regular" really, games and in those it's pretty hard to get the same results but they are enjoyable to play for different reasons. So PLEASE don't beat yourself up over not having as clear a grasp on what your players want to do, in those types of games being able to improvise is really the only thing you should concern yourself with, trying to anticipate rarely goes well ^^ If you do want to try out the style presented here in LABN you need to have a group of players who want to and are able to double their time investment, because it's just as important to prepare for the next session as it is to bring your RP A-game to said session :)
@@Micras08 there is loose but it is primarily not scripted, they just let Jason know their intention in advance when they have plans. Like the story did a 180 when Jasper killed Sheriff Marcus.
At this point, I automatically relax whenever Eva makes a roll involving Blood Sorcery. Don’t think she’s failed one yet. The Zeus’s Fury FX were amazing too. I know if I’d have been giddy at the opportunity to unleash those. Makes me wonder what other neat effects have yet to be used.
I absolutely adore how much Golden loves to troll Nelly G. XD Also I love guests but sometimes there is a big difference in how NPCs played by Jason and the same NPCs played by guests act. Like Kasey was a lot less angry with Annabelle on the phone for some reason.
Yeah, same here, I was sure nothing can surpass the Critical Role in my books, but this did it. Maybe not by lengths for me, but still surpassing it. I haven't been this hooked, I can't remember when.
Eva: "I couldn't care less about politics." I knew there was a reason I liked her. Edit: So, Zeus' Fury was cool. Didn't know Eva had it in her, but I had no doubt.
One Jason rocks as Gary though I wonder does he like playing Isaac more. Two the way Nelli and Victor play that Awe gets alot of use are we going for use Awe so many times get a free presence upgrade.
I can just say I love both Eva and Jasper! I just hope thing go well for them. Also, Eva is MVP for this one because she got one of the Lasombra Scourges! Also, if anyone is asking what that power was, it came from the Path of Levinbolt.
Jasper or Victor god I can't choose between the two ahh they're both so awesome I love the rest of the cast but can't choose between those two for number one
Negotiating with werewolves is like negotiating with the inquisition. Those who belong to the Garou Nation will destroy any leeches if they don't have a more pressing enemy to eliminate. They can tell the Garou where other Kindred enemies live but if they arrive in the territory they will seek to destroy all who can without caring about vampire sects. All vampires are Wyrm spawns for them. Those who belong to the Black Spiral Dancers do work with vampires since they are corrupt but their behavior is more in accordance with the Sabbat.
While true for the most recent edition, White Wolf is working on a new Werewolf game and I'd say Jason has access to some materials we do not on the upcoming book(s)... And even then, everything is open to interpretation by a storyteller anyway. Some leeches trying to, say, protect something like the leylines while another group may be trying to seize them... Well, it'd not be a terribly firm truce, but it'd be a reason to put aside hostilities for sure.
Ok. I agree. The apperance of Bone Gnawer before kinda scared me... For Garou and Vamps working together... Dude. Licks are anathema to the Garou... Just Ask Striders feelings toward Vamps... Or Get... Or Talons... Not even the Children would work with Vamps. And changing that would be changing the cery concept od WtA itself.
@@VerticalBlank and to be fair Eva owes the coterie nothing personally. They risked themselves to protect her coterie and keep them free maybe. That and Jasper has shared some books and access to the Labyrinth. Where are the weird sisters anyway? Eva should have them on a Ward Production line.
@@bartconnolly6104 you may take each off of them and I would be stunned even more ;-P works well enough as it is, though Edit: Bad grammar may be caused by stun and/or not being nativ
The moment I realised that Jasper has been teaching her Nosferatu stealth techniques I knew this was going to happen....A NUKE FROM STEALTH BABY!!!! You take care of her Jasper!
Victor: "I send a message to mister Golden"
in the corner of Victor's office a message received sound is heard.

You really bring her to unlife! Anytime I hear your name in the cast I'm like "somebody's about to get their ass kicked!"

Don't get me wrong, I get the reasoning behind the Sabbats Exodus. They tried to make V5 more about the struggle to keep the masquerade in a world of NSA, digital footprints and literally hundreds of cameras around you every damn moment. War ghouls and pillaging tzimisce don't go well with that.
The tiny detail of that red light whenever they feed and the darkness when the Lasombra shows up just does it for me!
Eva is the cutest, also quite the powerhouse...
She knew she could do this, but she didn't want to do it & at the same time she knew she had to be the one to do it. Strauss abused her so much & made her think her Sire was dead for 40 yrs or More. She just wanted her Freedom and Strauss is trying to take that away from her or worse and if Strauss can change Katya to be the Opposite of what she was the last time Eva saw her, then he could forcably change Eva that way too.
It's too bad that Jason didn't describe the Wirlwind that was blowing around Eva when she started Zeus' Fuary
@@Nikita4ever7000 I think B Dave Walters hysterical "WTF" face does it well enough.
Jasper and Eva finally together
Eva: yeaaaa.. Strouse is gonna hurt everyone I love
Jasper: Well f*ck
Victor: Welp, the prince already wants to kill us so don’t worry, we got each other
The prince a few episodes back: FILL HIM WITH GOOOOOLD
Well obviously fill him with gold it is purely sane.
It's Strauss actually
I love watching them remain in character even when they're not actively role playing. Like when Nelli was healing; Jasper starts heaving and wheezing then Eva begins comforting him while Kasey has a mental breakdown.
In the story it makes perfect sense that Annabel is not here, after all, apart from clarifying things with Mark, it is her duty as leader to spend a long time with the Valkyries and Ramona for their losses.
Valykrie they ment
Eva is my favorite guest, I hope she can be a full time cast member because I always enjoy her interacting with Jasper and everyone else. That Zeus bit was awesome!!!
Jason Carl never fails to impress me with his amazing ability to not only tell an extremely compelling story, but to also populate the story with a myriad of wonderfully voice acted NPC's 🙂.
Can I just say I love how wonderfully EXTRA everybody else's appearance is. The make-up, the outfits, the props, all of it.
And then there is Victor.
God its so wonderful. I love it.
Now that is how a Ventrue is supposed to come out of combat. That's what minions are for...😎
if a Ventrue has to enter combat, he's already doing it wrong.
1:00:35 I love Alex's acting here he's like
Hehe... Oh shit, It hurts to laugh...
I have to say, I'm glad we're getting more Eva in this season, she's a great character and her acting is just on point.
Between Josephine and Alex, both of their acting and mannerisms/facial expressions really steal the show every time they're on screen, I love it!
Also their relationship is rather interesting, can't wait to see where it goes
Nelli G does look awesome tonight. Hair and make up are on point!
"I have heard whispers of something called the Hedge"
Me: screams in Changeling
I absolutely LOVE the references to the other White Wolf games!
Where in the episode does that get mentioned? I have watched and re watched this episode but can not for the life of me find that refference? Do you have a timestamp on that?
@@Aracnicon not sure exactly but it's when Golden is listing off Camarilla coteries
I'm always happy when Jason Carl portrays Fiorenza. I want a "Victor my boy!" as a text-tone lol
I know it’s kind of a gag that Imalia may be repulsive and the coterie makes fun of the fashion show stuff. But I think Golden is aware that Imalia is... repulsed by herself due to her clan. And I think Golden is being very sweet to try and give her a sense to feel beautiful. And I think Imalia is envious of Nelli in this sense- and really just wants the approval of her, or at least some thought that a Toreador may find her designs beautiful? I think nelli, if she can find it in herself, to really embrace the opportunity to warm over Imali it could do well for the Coterie. I also think it could be a really beautiful and warm moment for the two, in an attempt to feel
Humanity again. Granted i understand it’s all just angles to be played but I think there could be a genuine moment between the two. Even if Nelli finds Imalias designs disgusting, I think if she really tries and finds it in herself to be genuine with Imalia and get pssed her nosferatu appearance and enjoy the chance at maybe designing with her, it could build a seriously good relationship and be a really nice moment.
Or maybe I’m just ranting and being a fool. Either way, I’d love to see it.
Oh, Imalia was Embraced to take her down some pegs from her life.
i live for every dialogue between victor and gary golden, the talks are always so witty and natural ;D
A) Eva and Jasper are the most adorable thing to ever exist, and B) Nelli looks amazing in this episode.
"I'm a little envious", says Gary G to Victor as Eva presses Jasper's hand to her lips. (29:40 ish)
Yeah, I kinda know the feeling.
YES, I love how it was played
Again - awesome job, Mr. Carl how can you be so prepared for every single situation your players come up with? I master VtM since the first edition, but even I cant think of every single situation my players come up with so far in advance...darn, I learn with every episode. Thank you so much!
I believe they have a loose canvas of what is going to happen, somehow... either that, or the players are much more "disciplined" than the average table ;)
Let me start of by saying that there's NOTHING WRONG with scripting stuff like this, it is probably one of the reasons it works so well in regards to entertaining us.
But really, there shouldn't be any doubt about the show being somewhat scripted :) There's a lot of "loose" moments where the dice can change the scene a lot. But there's pretty clearly outlined scenes that has been set up in advance or it wouldn't work like it does.
I've played at and run tables where we do this as well; we are more interested in getting to play the scenes everyone wants to play instead of organically getting there. But mostly we play more chaotic, "regular" really, games and in those it's pretty hard to get the same results but they are enjoyable to play for different reasons.
So PLEASE don't beat yourself up over not having as clear a grasp on what your players want to do, in those types of games being able to improvise is really the only thing you should concern yourself with, trying to anticipate rarely goes well ^^
If you do want to try out the style presented here in LABN you need to have a group of players who want to and are able to double their time investment, because it's just as important to prepare for the next session as it is to bring your RP A-game to said session :)
@@Micras08 there is loose but it is primarily not scripted, they just let Jason know their intention in advance when they have plans. Like the story did a 180 when Jasper killed Sheriff Marcus.
At this point, I automatically relax whenever Eva makes a roll involving Blood Sorcery. Don’t think she’s failed one yet. The Zeus’s Fury FX were amazing too. I know if I’d have been giddy at the opportunity to unleash those. Makes me wonder what other neat effects have yet to be used.
Eva has been overly Lucky on her rolls. Josephine
McAdams plays D&D too maybe she's learned how
to roll dice well. I wish I knew her secret.
I want to knowhow X is. I heard the last time, " He's not well.." What happened to him?
Really tho
No really, someone tell us if he’s ok
OK less than a minute in and had to pause it to say I LOVE Nellis' hat. That's all for now thankyou. Back later. :-)
2:41:31 Eva - "So be it. Jedi. If you will not be turned YOU WILL BE DESTROYED."
POWER! UNLIMITED POWER!!!!
Eva and Jasper's story is amazing. Gives me butterfly
A whole episode where no one cried!!! Such a relief. The look on Victor and Nelli's face when Eva unleashes is amazing!!
Eva and Jasper I love their relationship they play their parts with complete conviction. I am so invested.
Everyone on this show is so underrated as a actor/actress. You rock Trisha!
"He's probably dead."
"FILL HIM WITH GOLD!!!"
Mr. Carl's Gary is top tier. 👌
1:58:05 Ventrue Operating Manual Chapter 4 - If Dominate is cheaper than a bribe, a tip or an unkind word then go with Dominate.
I have never noticed this before but it‘s actually quite interesting to see how much Victor talks with his hands as much as his voice
Now i know, how Palpatine learn to use force lightning :)
1:34:56 is when the break ends
This needs to be pinned rather than hidden.
I absolutely adore how much Golden loves to troll Nelly G. XD
Also I love guests but sometimes there is a big difference in how NPCs played by Jason and the same NPCs played by guests act.
Like Kasey was a lot less angry with Annabelle on the phone for some reason.
Always good to see Jason, making the right scene and just the right mood!
Alright. It's settled. I enjoyed this by lengths more than critical role. And critical role is already 9/10. Must be something supernatural.
Yeah, same here, I was sure nothing can surpass the Critical Role in my books, but this did it. Maybe not by lengths for me, but still surpassing it. I haven't been this hooked, I can't remember when.
Eva: "I couldn't care less about politics."
I knew there was a reason I liked her.
Edit: So, Zeus' Fury was cool. Didn't know Eva had it in her, but I had no doubt.
One Jason rocks as Gary though I wonder does he like playing Isaac more.
Two the way Nelli and Victor play that Awe gets alot of use are we going for use Awe so many times get a free presence upgrade.
He said himself that he enjoys playing Gary and Fiorenza the most ☺️
Kasey's reaction here is so wildly different from when Jason played her on the phone call to Annabelle
I prefer this one
I can just say I love both Eva and Jasper! I just hope thing go well for them. Also, Eva is MVP for this one because she got one of the Lasombra Scourges! Also, if anyone is asking what that power was, it came from the Path of Levinbolt.
Rodrigo's death was poetry!
Kasey got to avenge her sisters and Jasper delivered the final blow. Poetry!
Jasper or Victor god I can't choose between the two ahh they're both so awesome I love the rest of the cast but can't choose between those two for number one
I love Victors 'Forever Knight' reference/shoutout. 😅
That hiss from Eva at 2:38:29 is just pure gold!!!
She's like 'Why!?' My god♡
1:44 I loved the Forever Knight reference from Victor!
2:46:43 Aww Crap. Jasper is monologuing. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU HANG AROUND VENTRUE TOO LONG.
"Victor's going to come with me" - comedy gold :D
Negotiating with werewolves is like negotiating with the inquisition.
Those who belong to the Garou Nation will destroy any leeches if they don't have a more pressing enemy to eliminate. They can tell the Garou where other Kindred enemies live but if they arrive in the territory they will seek to destroy all who can without caring about vampire sects. All vampires are Wyrm spawns for them.
Those who belong to the Black Spiral Dancers do work with vampires since they are corrupt but their behavior is more in accordance with the Sabbat.
Succint and accurate.
Speaking of which, one of my favorites guides to the World of Darkness, is a Malkavian antitribu who sits on the Board of Directors in Pentex.
While true for the most recent edition, White Wolf is working on a new Werewolf game and I'd say Jason has access to some materials we do not on the upcoming book(s)... And even then, everything is open to interpretation by a storyteller anyway. Some leeches trying to, say, protect something like the leylines while another group may be trying to seize them... Well, it'd not be a terribly firm truce, but it'd be a reason to put aside hostilities for sure.
If you sup with the Devil just use a very long spoon.
Ok. I agree. The apperance of Bone Gnawer before kinda scared me... For Garou and Vamps working together... Dude. Licks are anathema to the Garou... Just Ask Striders feelings toward Vamps... Or Get... Or Talons... Not even the Children would work with Vamps. And changing that would be changing the cery concept od WtA itself.
Damn, I Love Victor more and more by the day (or week / month).
Take your motherf--- instant like 'cause you brought Josephine McAdam.
Fair. And Eva has come through in the clutch in both the last two eps.
@@VerticalBlank and to be fair Eva owes the coterie nothing personally. They risked themselves to protect her coterie and keep them free maybe. That and Jasper has shared some books and access to the Labyrinth. Where are the weird sisters anyway? Eva should have them on a Ward Production line.
I love that Backblaze is cannon in the story lol
To keep shreknet 2.0 safe? They’ll go to any lengths 😤
Eva and Jasper are so cute together! If someone wrote a series of novels based on them, and did them justice, I would read the whole thing.
I love the scenes with Mr Golden and his progeny. Hilarious!
Mr. Golden is one of my favorite characters. Always love to see Jason portray him!
I can't decide who's more stunning, Nelli or Eva.. cause I'm ... to...
... stunned to do so!
They both are. Kasey is quite stunning herself, as well.
That's because they are using magical seduction on you! And makeup and low cut dresses. :)
@@strikesachord1884 Wonder if they can get her in her old uniform?
@@bartconnolly6104 you may take each off of them and I would be stunned even more ;-P works well enough as it is, though
Edit: Bad grammar may be caused by stun and/or not being nativ
Victors face describes my reaction to that last sequence with Eva
When Jason laughs, somewhere a vampire gets their fangs. Love that man!
I love that when Victor was listing all the incoming dangers they forgot the Vatican being called in :p
can't catch a break
lol Zeus fury..... Nellie G and Victor are like wtf....
Would loved to have seen annabelle losing her shit over that op use of magic
I love the acting of the people who are not "on stage." The reacting to other actors is excellent.
Never seen anyone rock a hood like Jasper does.
Lovin the invisible effect...but oh wow ..eva is a badass :)
Victor: Magic, Insanity, CAMBELL!
Me: Wait, Cambell?
The moment I realised that Jasper has been teaching her Nosferatu stealth techniques I knew this was going to happen....A NUKE FROM STEALTH BABY!!!! You take care of her Jasper!
This is my soap opera addiction!
You know...I have to agree.
It even had the old “someone in a coma” trope. Sorry Jasper
