blablablabla posted:So nothing happened this week except everyone having awesome sex Well yeah that but, it was also an anchoring point. Now we have all these couplings that have major significance for the future of the characters and the show. I really like this show and how they represent human compassion. Dorian seems to have a true love for Angelique and from there, all of the couplings seem to have significance in moving the story towards it's climax. I just enjoy seeing something that breaks boundaries and lets you enjoy the guilty pleasure of enjoying the taboo.

I think the most underrated part of the episode was when Lyle was praying in secret with the Torah, looking over his shoulder as he donned his tallit and yarmulke.radical meme posted:Now we have all these couplings that have major significance for the future of the characters and the show. And Mrs. Poole will soon have a way past all the new defensive measures. I do wonder if 'Two Face' is now a lycanthrope as well, since he was probably bitten by Ethan.

Frankenstein and Dorian would be a particularly interesting meeting. Here's a character whose story is all about cheating death- and here's a doctor that brings people back from death.

Won't Vanessa recognize Poole from their, uh, shared history? And why didn't she recognize her last season? (Or did we cover this gaping plot hole somewhere?)

Pretty sure she's never caught a clear glimpse of her. Poole made sure to cove her face when Vanessa came outside the house (the large hooded robe) and later she was always in the middle or back of a crowd.

Loved how Caliban was telling Lily that fake story about how they confronted those men asking how the two of them could be together ... and then Dorian pulls the same stunt a little later on.

Really? I thought that was incredibly ham-fisted. I have hope that Dorian and Angelique will tie into the story somehow, but right now it just seems to be there as a Trans acceptance mouthpiece.

Took me ages, but I finally got to see the episode, ironically a day before the next episode airs. I find it funny Angelique worries she won't be accepted as chocolate in a vanilla world by the ONE guy who revels in neapolitan. She lucked out. Now to see if she keeps his interest. "Will you love me like THIS?" (dressed as a guy) Ummm.... this is Dorian. I think he screwed Ethan in his cowboy gear last season. He doesn't CARE. Also, I appreciated that intense stare, the cupping of the cheek, then, "LATER," that Vanessa gave Ethan during the whole "Can You Feel The Love Tonight," moments. It just strengthens the relationship to me, in an odd way. I have no idea why.

Wait, the next episode hasn't aired for you guys yet? But it's so much fun, how can they hold it back?  Edit: Oh, wait, no. Those are just old posts. This new episode was indeed so much fun! Much better than the last, and now we know why Dorian was kept around. evilmiera fucked around with this message at 14:36 on Jun 8, 2015 |

So, it seems Hecate has designs of her own. They may turn out to be the only thing saving our heroes from Mdm Kali who is getting her own way so far. Was Lily meant to look so...trollopy? A subtle way of telling us she has been dressed by a man? The blood dance was a great scene though. The werewolf transformation was very poor though - we've waited so long to see it I had hoped they'd make the big reveal spectacular but in the end he just looked a bit like a tall Eddie Munster.

Yeah, for a dude who's literally an American werewolf in London that really looked cheap and terrible. If they wanted to end things on a high note they really should have gone with the blood ball. Everyone dancing and laughing completely oblivious to the blood pouring down was evocative as gently caress

They've kind of played fast and loose with people's memories this season though granted, meeting someone who looks a lot like someone you've met before but sounds completely different and seems to have no idea who you are would probably throw most people off. I'm pretty sure Vanessa has met Lily as well though from when she ran into her and Ethan on their date, so they've set up quite a lot of near misses for Lily regaining her memory.

I think Dorian has only met Brona once or twice (had sex, then at the theatre). Vanessa also at the theatre just that once I think. I think the only one would who actually know Lily was Brona would probably be Ethan, who spent the most time with her and all that.

I actually liked the Wolf-Man look. It reminded me of Oliver Reed's make-up in The Curse of the Werewolf. https://mikestakeonthemovies.files.wordpress.com/2015/03/curse-of-the-werewolf-hammer-horror-films-3739574-800-431.jpg

It's pretty dumb of Frankenstein to take Lily to that ball though. If it wasn't Werewolf Night for Ethan, he would have been there, and I assume Frankenstein doesn't want Ethan calling him on re-animating his dead girlfriend.

I loved Sir Malcom's response to the last of his family dying. "Damnit, I'm going to have to replace the carpet. She died slitting her throat with my razor? Speaking of razors, I should shave my beard! Look younger for my sweetie." Poor Vanessa. Shot down right at the beginning by Sir Malcolm, then can't even get a first dance with Frankenstein, then when she asks Chandler, he dangles a maybe, then shoots her down without even an excuse. So she has to go it alone. Nice little decorative touch by the designers of the show with the little silver scorpion dangling from the top of Vanessa's coif. Finally, holy poo poo, that blood dance scene was amazing. So many dresses and tuxes and the stage. It had to be done right in ONE take, don't you think? And look at Eva Green's eyes! They were filling with whatever they were using for the blood. I was freaking the gently caress out over that. Her poor eyes, jesus.

I have to believe the blood ball was mostly CGI. Cause no way someone is gonna want to mess up that set and then have to be responsible for hosing it down.

That would have to be some godamn impressive cg or compositing for a tv show then, because it was on the pages, violins, paintings, their feet were splashing it up, etc. I just had my mouth open like 'what, the whole set, and all the extras, and everything  '
