Finally this show is back! And since this is the final season of course it's hard to temper my expectations that every episode is a winner.

First off, Michael Patrick O'Brien as Jerry is a good addition to the cast, a vampire that takes their long-forgotten mandate of conquest seriously. That bodes well for some funny conflict in future episodes.

The guy-out-of-his-time gag is well worn but they manage to come up with some fun zingers anyway, and avoided the trap of being too topical. Al Haig huh? That explains a lot.

So it's a decent start to the new season anyway, with some room for improvement.
