And what of his twin brother? They’ve been teasing that (as part of the show’s opening graphics) since the beginning.
Loved Haley Joel Osment’s performance. (He works for dead people!)
And also loved the new clues about Colin–one in each of last night’s two episodes. The Colin back-story is a slow-burning fuse…
I see undead people!
(Sorry, had to get the obvious out of the way.)
Yeah looks like he’s a modern day person. What are the clues you saw? (I am terrible at watching closely)
Is that supposed to be a twin or one of those bad 80s/90s dual headshot photos?
Too much updog. 
The only one I recall, is Colin isn’t even sure about his origin. He doesn’t think he died. Interesting his grandmother didn’t seem to be from far enough back in time, I think the opening credits show Colin looking like Colin for over 100 years.
Remember Colin when he was in Better Call Saul? Better Call Saul (Best of Pryce) 4 - YouTube
Holy crap! I would never have identified Topher as Haley Joel Osment! Good job on that.
It was easy for me because Adult HJO was already familiar to me from Future Man.
For me, I had just seen him on The Boys.
Hmm, maybe Colin’s grandmother was also an energy vampire and she only died a few decades ago. Or the writers could just be messing with us.

Yes, What Exit?, that was one of the clues I was talking about. The other is that Topher was, apparently, immune to Colin’s power. Before this we’ve seen Colin successfully drain not only humans, but vampires. The only time he’s been anything other than completely ascendant in every situation is when he met another energy vampire (played by Vanessa Bayer).
So I was seeing Topher’s immunity, as well as Colin’s lack of knowledge of his own origin, as a potential clue that Colin may have a bigger role in the direction the show’s overall plot is going. (I hope so, as I love that character. We shall see…)
You could be right.
But ‘80s/90s dual headshot photos’ are a VERY specific cultural artifact—one that many viewers might not know about.
Also, if Guillermo was about 10 in 1990, then he’d be about 40 now. The actor who plays him is a decade younger.
It’s an interesting idea, but because of these other factors, IF they’re not implying that Guillermo has a twin, they’re not playing fair (in my opinion, anyway). Another ‘we shall see’…
Updoc, wasn’t it? For the obvious joke when someone asks ‘what’s updoc?’…
He did a Silicon Valley, too.
1.) I saw it as two jokes–a.) Topher was so aggressively positive that nothing could get him down and b.) A “leaning on the 4th wall” joke that the writers haven’t developed much of a background on the exact details of an energy vampire.
2.) Not any more than expecting people to understand that tintypes and woodcuts and old styles of painting are specific cultural artifacts.
3.) Nope.
No kidding. Odd that the site refers to “the colloquial expression “what’s up, dog?”” without any mention of the MUCH earlier colloquial expression “what’s up, Doc?”
It also seems odd that Colin would be more inclined to use the “dog” version, being something of an embodiment of Whiteness. Interesting, anyway.
As for the other points: could be. Maybe we’ll find out one way or the other by season’s end.
Because it was never an extremely widespread meme 15-20 years ago to say “updoc” to try to get people to say “What’s up Doc?”? The point of the energy vampire attempting that tired old joke was that everyone on the planet already knew it except for a long-dead woman (and you.)
Befor the next episode, you might better get a dicfor.
BTW, as for “whiteness”, the rise of the “updog” meme was possibly related to the equally widespread “You’re the man now Dog!” meme taken from a line from Sean Connery in the movie Finding Forrester.
If you don’t catch ligma first.
My first car was a 1971 Henway.
Your capacity for logical thinking appears to have deserted you. Why would I have posted about the dialogue if I didn’t recognize it as a joke?
The only dispute was over whether Colin would be more likely to use the newer “dog” version of the joke as opposed to the well-established (for decades) “Doc” version of the joke.
Didn’t you understand that?
