What’ll it be??? These should look familiar if you’ve been keeping up with Harvey’s Behind the Shadows project... A special guest (or two) for each episode of S4, and each  guest gets to make up a drink inspired by their character (and/or their self) to be served at Nadja’s nightclub! Some of them were so fun I just had to draw the whole menu....

if The Wedding was listed as 4x09 in production (confirmed by Tig Fong on instagram), does that mean that they didn't intend for Nandor and Marwa to be married in what’s now 4x07-4x09, and therefore the Guillermo-liking wish doesn't exist until 4x10? I don't really understand TV production I'm just confused how they could move around an episode that's so relevant to the plot

help me understand so I don’t have to ask reddit

pundromeda said: I'm wondering if it's because this was episode 9, and the Wedding was filmed as episode 9. Like, whoever put it up was told "4x09" and didn't realize the airing order was different.

-------------

Ohhhh, that’s a very good thought. It very well might’ve been that. I know that The Wedding was definitely officially listed as 4.09 for a long time and Tig Fong wrote that even when they wrapped the episode, he wasn’t 100% sure when it would air.

Which is weird, because there is no way that the current events of Freddie could have come before The Wedding in any way...

God, I feel like such a tinfoil hatter, but I really wonder if the decision to keep the Djinn around for the rest of the season made them rewrite vast portions of Freddie. It almost felt like they were like “well, we have to have the Djinn around for something.” The whole vibe of the episode was so strange.

TRAILER:

Dracula 2000 (Patrick Lussier, 2000)

Cast: Gerard Butler, Christopher Plummer, Jonny Lee Miller, Justine Waddell, Vitamin C, Jennifer Esposito, Omar Epps, Sean Patrick Thomas, Jeri Ryan, Danny Masterson, Lochlyn Munro, Tig Fong, Tony Munch, Shane West, Nathan Fillion. Screenplay:  Joel Soisson, Patrick Lussier. Cinematography: Peter Pau. Production design: Carol Spier. Film editing: Peter Devaney Flanagan, Patrick Lussier. Music: Marco Beltrami. 

The cross as vampire repellent has become so much a part of the Dracula legend that Roman Polanski saw fit to spoof it in The Fearless Vampire Killers (1967). Threatened with a crucifix, a vampire reveals himself as Jewish: “Oy vey, have you got the wrong vampire.” But Patrick Lussier doubles down on the Christian mythology in Dracula 2000: His vampire isn't threatened by the cross so much as he hates it. It turns out that Dracula is really the biblical Judas Iscariot, who when the rope broke as he tried to commit suicide after betraying Christ, was condemned to walk the Earth for eternity as one of the undead. Nobody else knows this except Abraham Van Helsing, who is still alive 103 years after Bram Stoker fictionalized his exploits. (In the film, Van Helsing dismisses Stoker as just a drunken Irish writer.) In 2000 he is posing as Van Helsing's grandson, the owner of Carfax Antiquities in London. It seems he kept himself alive after capturing Dracula and imprisoning him in a silver casket filled with leeches that feast on Judas/Dracula's blood. Somehow Van Helsing harvests the occasional leech from the casket and injects himself with that blood to keep himself alive. Unfortunately, this twist in the Dracula legend -- borrowed from the legend of the Wandering Jew -- is about all Dracula 2000 has going for it. Gerard Butler is not a particularly compelling Dracula, and Christopher Plummer doesn't invest much of his considerable talent in playing Van Helsing. Jonny Lee Miller, as Van Helsing's assistant, seems more confused than dashing in the romantic lead, and strikes no sparks with Justine Waddell, who turns out to be Van Helsing's estranged daughter. It was a critical and commercial flop, though there are those who regard it as underrated, so it may some day re-emerge, like Dracula himself, as a cult film.

Regarding WWDITS episode order confusion

There's been a lot of confusion over the episode order of season 4 of WWDITS, because the episode written as 409 is listed as airing when we'd expect 406. Naturally, this seems like a mistake, but after some sleuthing by @ineffably-human on Tig Fong's instagram (director of 409 The Wedding), it appears 409 airing midseason has been the plan for awhile.

The comment reads: @/tdotjay Currently my episode is numbered 409 but it's more likely to play mid-season

Thus the correct episode order appears to be:

Reunited (Stefani Robinson & Paul Simms)

The Lamp (Wally Baram & Aasia Lashay)

The Grand Opening (Sam Johnson & Chris Marcil)

The Night Market (William Meny & Paul Simms)

Private School (Ayo Edebiri & Shana Gohd)

The Wedding (Sam Johnson & Sarah Naftalis & Marika Sawyer & Paul Simms)

Pine Barrens (Sarah Naftalis)

Go Flip Yourself (Marika Sawyer)

Freddie (Jake Bender & Zach Dunn)

Memories (Paul Simms)

The correct writing credits are in parentheses.

What this means for the season, I'm not sure. The synopsis for The Wedding only mentions Guillermo planning the wedding, so it's not yet clear whether the episode contains the "full vampire wedding" we were promised at SDCC or if it's just about the wedding being planned. Either way, an episode with four writers always tends to be amazing so I'm excited.

Episodes airing in a different order than they were written in is not new for tv, or even for WWDITS specifically. For example, Citizenship aired as the eighth episode of season 1, but was written as 107.
