Vampire: The Masquerade - L.A. By Night Season 1 Recap

[@TheFayeKat]

I love that this was done in character, Ramona is such a great character.

[@eternalverses]

Really wanted Jasper in the background all invisible like to whisper "nice drawings" or something else Sassper level comment.

[@Stronghand-yw1lk]

I think that "Sasper" is going to stick!

[@stephenmoody8006]

It's like Victor said once, "It's safe to assume he's here at any point in time." 😆

[@imanonmd]

Guys, is this what X was saying in his vision about Ramona being on top of LA and watching down on the events?

[@JasonCarl]

;-)

[@DieBlutigeLynn]

@@JasonCarl Hello!! :) Is there a way for me to edit the English subtitles here and there? I'm watching this whole show with English subtitles and they are great, but at times there are mistakes and I could edit them as I watch. It's a great show, I love watching it!!! I appreciate the handwritten subtitles, they help when a word sometimes is hard to understand. I noticed in some episodes of the first season the timing of the subtitles was off, which meant that all the subtitles would be displayed quickly one after another, much earlier than when they were actually said, so I had to turn them off in about 3 episodes.

[@JasonCarl]

@@DieBlutigeLynn unfortunately I can't help with this, but you might contact Geek and Sundry about it (they own the videos).

[@chaosmcchaos4607]

Great 1st season recap! Love Ramona

[@ThejollyFrenchman]

She thanks one of the rats for not shooting the fire gun, implying that he has a history of recklessness with firearms. That's absolutely adorable!

[@WardNightstone]

Ramona has been a major character in Vampire for decades (shes actually the example character in clanbook gangrel) but Bex really brought her to life

[@thenevermoreking8824]

So, she plays that Ramona exactly te same?

[@cariocaemfuria3946]

Actually, I made this exact question to Jason Carl himself: she's supposed to be the same character.

[@louisemckn]

un-life surely? ;P

[@lonewolf209]

Yes, she was even in the clan novels

[@JD-Media]

Jason Carl was the better Ramona, there was an awkward moment last season where the continuity didn't line up and they had to redo things they set up in previous episode because of the switch over.

[@TimDraketheRedRobin]

Is it bad that I want a spinoff series where Ramona, Annabelle and X sit around and riff on vampire movies?

[@WardNightstone]

no that needs to be a thing

[@JasonCarl]

Maybe a Christmas or Halloween special?

[@Hi-pk2mh]

Fucking want

[@ZenZudokai]

YES. I am TOTALLY for this, please! And Victor, Nelli, and Jasper can be guest stars!

[@deepseafish257]

@@JasonCarl Yes please! With other characters guest starring and being confused/annoyed (Jasper and Carver would probably even stay for a few minutes, and so would Annabelles boy- and girlfriend if they appear). But honestly, Annabelle, X and Ramona would probably be entertaining enough...

[@ithemba]

This is pure perfection. Her acting, the writing, the rat pack, the undependable narrator. It's one of the best texts from the WoD books come to live, acted out in front of our very eyes. Ramona is so. Freaking. Perfect. When she started to speak about the Anarch Movement in the end, I legitimately has goosebumps.

[@jacksonloparo3498]

Please tell me she really called victor undad!

[@JasonCarl]

Oh yes. :D

[@419Films]

Whose side is Carver on? That's easy. Carver is on Carver's side. Period.

[@Bootcamp4]

David Loewen as any Kindred truly should be

[@kitten-inside]

Everyone is, except Carver wears that openly.

[@highvoltage988]

Bex is the greatest! The Vamily is so lucky to have them as our Ramona.

[@pupsinsbarks]

Seriously, between Jason's Abrahms, Chobot's Victoria Ash, and Bex's Ramona, the people playing canon characters have been doing an incredible job!

[@spencerpommier806]

@@pupsinsbarks does that mean Victoria has to stay alive? Because she's part of the Canon I hope not. Hoping Ash gets punished after the Succubus club is keeping me into this series

[@pupsinsbarks]

Spencer Pommier LA By Night takes place after all the events that have been written in canon, and some canon characters might do non-canonical things for the sake of the game. Regardless of what happens to the Victoria of the metalore, this Victoria could very well be punished!

[@ZenZudokai]

My my my Ramona. That whole bit about the Anarchs taking a stand and separating themselves from the monsters...you actually sounded like Annabelle for a second there. Hehe. Maybe Jasper isn’t the only one who’s been hanging around her too long. It really is true; Ramona and the others really do want her to prove them wrong on some level. Oh I am so looking forward to Season 2!

[@davehedric1543]

The anarch free states were a failed experiment unfortunately. They devolved into a semi-authoritarian sub communities that are still warring against each other. They are quite demonizing the camarilla that try to keep order in a world of utter chaos. They used to be in good terms with them before they started to open war recently.

[@GraHaz]

I'd only ever seen the actress on Arrow like 5 years ago and didn't even know her name, but I immediately recognized her voice and attitude and that's f'n awesome! (I listen to these at work and don't actually watch them, so I didn't see her face until much later when I finished work)

[@w0rmsinger]

*ANNOYED SQUEAKING* wait are we the rats?

No, we are their food

[@timgray5373]

[@MasterChick184]

[@crowsandcryptids]

Please i could die happy if bex was on crit role even just a one shot i would be happy but a multi episode character would be amazing

[@guiltriple]

You know, usually my bad habit of reading the comments is something for which I have endless reasons to chastise myself, but having known next to nothing about the collaborators in this project, it is so delightful to find out this tidbit of information -- I can't adequately describe my delight. So thanks.

[@mystichattercat6642]

I am so frickin happy that there's gonna be a season two!! Pray to you Ramona, you wonderful lick

[@Droogie128]

Season 2 starts tonight

[@Droogie128]

@Baron VonsFuden?? What's gone?

[@Droogie128]

@Baron VonsFuden they're on the same time they've always been on. 8pm PST on Twitch and Alpha. The KZbin episodes don't come until the season ends. Episode 1 of season 1 came on KZbin 2 months after it showed on twitch.

[@Droogie128]

@Baron VonsFuden I think season 2 is up to episode 6 now

[@Droogie128]

@Baron VonsFuden it's a lot more fun watching it live. Onyx path is often in the chat, as well as other people from G&S

[@Eramiserasmus]

Bex is the best embodiment of Ramona I've seen. Turning the example character from the book into a full person. Bex is skilled.

[@gmork1090]

Ramona is supposed to be a bit more distant and has a Humanity of 6, but that was back in the late 90s when she was in her first few years.

[@lysander1]

Ramona!! LA by night is the best thing geek and sundry has done since crit roll i think...

[@Orimthekeyacolite]

My favorite guest performances of Season 1 Disclaimer: I know X is technically a guest as well, but I just can’t think of him this way, to me he’s part of the coterie, so not including his awesome act here. #5 Bex Taylor-Klaus as Ramona Possibly the main reason this girl is not higher on the list is because she got a mission that is simply impossible to live up to under the known laws of physics. Ramona was cool AF long before Bex took on this Herculean task of impersonating her, making every tiny detail that felt off work against her. And when I say “off” I don’t even mean it in any objective sense, just whatever I or anyone imagined this character to be in our own heads. Given all this, I think noone would argue she’s done as great a job as anyone could. #4 Mark Meer as Chaz Some people might say this character lacks nuance and is a little too overexaggerated, but I always found that there is something very compelling about an over-the-top villian. He’s Jafar from Alladin or Scar from Lion King, he’s Terry Silver from Karate Kid, he’s... well, I guess Joffrey Baratheon from one obscure show nobody probably heard about. The point is, Mark does an awesome job of presenting the most punchable face in the universe, someone you immideately love to hate from the word “Go!” and every plot needs a bad guy like this. 3# Jessica Chobot as Victoria Ashe If Chaz is this series’ Joffrey then Victoria is beyond doubt its Cercei. She’s so exquisitely bitchy and evil that 5 minutes in you already can’t help but wish to close your fingers on her throat and start squeezing! And her facial features looking as if sculpted by some artistic genious of the Renessance Era, that works surprisingly well to make you hate her even more. 2# Taliesin Jaffe as Carver I’m not exactly sure why according to the comment section this guy is considered to be the main celebrity here. What I do know is that 1,5 times he appered this season he absolutely killed it! If International Bureau of Weights and Measures ever needs a perfect standard for what a Bruja is, they should make a replica of this guy. He’s character Carver just embodies and highlights everything that is good and also problematic about this clan, and hell yeah he does it in style. 1# Noura Ibrahim as Ib Can we just agree that the way this woman’s talents aren’t yet used by any big studios is a crime against the art of cinematography?! Other people on this list nail archetypes and emotions - she nails the overtones to those, she nails the whole bouquet up to the very aftertaste in your mouth. And yeah, the fact that her Ib lookes like an edgier sharper fighting version of Salma Hayek or even young Monica Belucci - that does not hurt one bit as well. I don’t know about you guys, but I want to see this girl in an A-class high budget TV show, like, tommorow!

[@ashadeofnight]

I liked Miranda and Fiona best

[@StarShotz-y1s]

If every character did a sit down, and spoke about how they felt and what they regret (maybe shows us some kindred's power, like Jasper fading in and out of the shadows). That's worth Commenting and Liking on every video and stream.

[@NiahJordan]

0:57 "LiKe WiTh ThE ChAiR!?! " Righ-**wheezes💀**

I subbed to geek & sundry twitch for critical role, but this show specifically is keeping me now that they’re independent. Keep making World of Darkness stuff and I’ll keep paying.

[@mrrobot480]

That's not how I imagine the most signature Gangrel beside Beckett, She doesn't fit at all.

[@gmork1090]

Thank you. Jason played her straight out of the books she's been in. This kid is... a decent actor that should have been someone different.

[@VinterNacht_]

I know this probably won't actually be seen by Bex, but I want you to know that it's your portrayal of Ramona that had us name one of our recent litter of rats "Ramona". I'm thinking we need to name another Bex. :)

[@Mr._Matt]

I'm glad to see someone in character reacting as being upset to the end-of-season slaughter. I was pretty stunned by the big event myself and hope it's discussed and reacted to more in season 2, which I'm about to begin.

[@dennisdeal3323]

I love the recap.. Nice mood music and the whole set. It is just perfect for the recap. Am new to watching this series. I have watched the first season here on youtube. Truthfully, I do not know to be more annoyed with Annabelle or feel sorry for her having to learn on the "job". So many times I just want to yell. 'Yer a Kindred', This is the way it goes.Deal with it. Then remember Erika's character is only a about 6 weeks old. Really has no idea of how much of her humanity has been lost yet. Yeah, that is a tough journey,

[@JasonCarl]

Welcome to the #vamily! Thanks for joining us. Annabelle's journey in Season 1 has been a steep learning curve for her, let's see what she takes from it into Season 2....

[@stephenkerr9702]

Absolutely fantastic series, the cast was amazing, i came across this by pure chance. Was first introduced to the world of darkness with "The Masquerade Redemption" ended up buying the rpg books on the strength of the game (with no intention of ever playing the table top rpg). Searched youtube for the masquerade to find out what happened to the half forgotten White Wolf MMO and discovered this. I have been using this series like an audio book whilst painting miniatures; Well that was the intention but every time Jason Carl took the role of a npc i would find my self stopping and fixated with the screen, the gentleman is truly gifted.

[@sphynxink]

Born 1980, turned at 17 or 18. She had some friends but a nasty psycho who replaced his eye with a magical one from a 4th gen killed her first friends and entire pack, but she, with some help from Victoria Ash who runs the succubus club here managed to take him out.
