Reginald the Vampire Season 1 Episode 6 Review: Halfway to a Threeway

Reginald hasn’t had time to relaxation since he bought turned by Maurice, and Midway to a Threeway proved no totally different.

Reginald the Vampire Season 1 Episode 6 noticed Reginald coping with a crazed lover, however not one which he anticipated (or wished).

Nikki, performed brilliantly by Christin Park, added an excellent side to the present that we did not know we wanted till now. 

From Reginald the Vampir’s Season 1 Episode 5’s ending, to the fascinating title of the episode, Midway to a Threeway had some massive and bizarre footwear to fill.

Fortunately, early within the episode, we get what we have all been ready for: Reginald and Sarah share a romantic kiss!

Nikki’s addition actually added one thing particular to the collection and elevated the general high quality.

Nikki proved fairly loopy (she grew to become obsessive about Reginald VERY shortly), however she stood as much as Angela.

Nikki: When my coronary heart cracked open, I heard it crack.
Angela: Hearts do not crack.
Nikki: Mine did.

Fortunately, SYFY promised batshit loopy within the promos, and Reginald the Vampire delivered.

Ashley, among the finest characters in your complete collection, bought caught up in the course of the tremendous bizarre love triangle between Sarah, Reggie, and Nikki.

Some fascinating info additionally bought revealed throughout the hour, particularly one involving Mike. 

Mike and Penelope (Considered one of Angela’s interior circle vampires) slept collectively, and this did not appear to be the primary time. We would like to know extra about a lot of the vampires on this present, and these two are not any exception.

Additionally, Reginald’s a virgin.

Reginald: I’ve to let you know one thing.
Sarah: Oh!
Reginald: And brace your self as a result of I am unable to totally phrase what a shocker that is gonna be. However the factor I wasn’t telling you? My massive daring unattainable secret is: I am ki- I am… a virgin!

It appeared like Reginald was prepped to inform Sarah about his vampirism, however we had been improper. He revealed the virginity card as a substitute.

Angela’s love life additionally took an sudden but fascinating flip. 

Angela and Reginald conversed about loving, and Maurice and he talked about loving a human and the way it does not work.

Nonetheless, it bought revealed to us that Angela has had a long-lasting sexual and partially emotional relationship with a human lady. 

Angela’s relations with anybody appeared bizarre, however not for any motive aside from that she all the time appears chilly and uncaring, unable to like (anymore, since Maurice).

Being proved improper with the guts of a personality all the time provides extra intrigue, making Angela appear extra human (properly, not human, I assume… sane).

The hour centered quite a bit on the idea of affection and different types of romantic/sexual relationships (and the way some folks make it troublesome).

However on Reggie and Sarah’s third date, some issues went improper (VERY improper).

Proper earlier than Reggie and Sarah began to do the nasty, Sarah skilled a flashback from when Angela visited her on the slushie shack. 

Angela glamored Sarah to do the unthinkable: kill Reginald. 

Fortunately, and weirdly, Nikki got here in and saved the day proper as Sarah brandished a vampire-slaying stake. 

No matter will occur subsequent, we have to wait as a result of the episode ends after Nikki saved Reginald, and he drank a few of her blood to settle down, and so they had an intimate second.

Solely time will inform what (if any) affect this second could have on Reginald, however the extra urgent points hopefully will take over.

Can a human be un-glamored? 

Sarah (most certainly, given our present info) will try to kill Reginald, and the glamor will not break till she succeeds: however there should be one other method to break it, proper?

Can one other glamor undo the primary glamor? Like breaking a spell or a hex?

Having to attend for these solutions frustrates, however the subsequent episode appears to be like promising, and hopefully, they may reveal the entire particulars we wish to know.

One other massive concern for Reginald concerned the Vampire evaluation: Angela moved up the date. 

Now, the untrained Reginald has even LESS time to work on his vampire abilities, which can make the take a look at lethal for extra than simply him.

Fortunately, Reginald gained over Mike and Nikki, so he does have extra vampires in his nook now.

The one means for him to outlive will contain plenty of coaching, so hopefully, it really works out. 

There ended up being a evident absence all through this episode: Claire. 

Reginald’s solely human good friend that is aware of about him being a vampire did not seem throughout the hour. Granted, it was a busy hour, however we missed her!

Hopefully, we are going to get extra from her sooner quite than later.

One other individual we (actually, desperately) need extra of is Ashley, Reginald’s investigative coworker and potential good friend of Nikki.

Ashley left one other lasting impression along with her small emotional love monologue, and we would like MORE from this character (and, in flip, Marguerite Hanna, who portrays Ashley skillfully).

Ashley: Falling in love is like being in a jumbo pot of affection soup. All of its byproducts: concern, nervousness, obsession, giving a coronary heart to your one real love… for those who try to act out all of these feelings, together with killing your romantic rival, unexpectedly, you are going to find yourself alone and in jail.

Midway to a Threeway did preserve the batshit-crazy promise whereas additionally offering followers with one of the best episode of the season to this point.

We will not say this sufficient, however Nikki’s (Christin Park’s) addition definitely helped enhance this episode’s high quality.

Her bubbly, eccentric, insane, but nuanced persona shines properly within the loopy world fashioned in Reginald the Vampire.

It could be midway via the season, however perhaps it is a signal that Reginald the Vampire has lastly discovered its means as a collection as a result of we would not thoughts this high quality all through the remainder of the primary season’s run.

So, Fanatics, what did you consider the episode?

Do you’re keen on the addition of Nikki as a lot as we do?
