The last part of Frankenstein is Victor chasing the Creature to the Arctic; when Frankenstein dies the Creature runs off into the Arctic alone, intent on suicide.

Antarctic exploration started up again at the end of the 19th century, but it's really unlikely that the Creature could join those expeditions.

Frankenstein's face after failing to kill Dorian after already failing to kill Lilly was pretty funny.

I'm now just picturing Friendzone Frankenstein standing in a group of penguins huddling together for warmth, just looking as miserable as ever.

He befriends a giant herd of lemmings right at the start of suicide season

Didn't they figure into her hallucinations at the start of season 1, too? Or was that all spiders?

The most important reveal of the season is that Satan can probably be shanked to death by an old man, given the opportunity.

That or his brother was just really really really lame.

I guess if they're going to give the Garrett Dillahunt treatment to an actor, it might as well be Patti Lupone.

Dorian was the worst part of the show last season so having Justine, a character who's sole purpose in the novel was to be abused and raped in pretty much every interaction on the show with Dorian and Lily sounds like a terrible idea.

This isn't Middle Earth, Quentin. There aren't enough noble quests to go around.
I got the Penny Dreadful version of Clue for my birthday, and it's pretty awesome. The game board is nicely done, with different locations like the Grand Guignol theater. The only disappointing part is that the character pieces are folded cardboard that you stick into a plastic base, rather than something more durable. But overall, it's really nice artwork and a cool version of the game.

Particularly smashing dress Vanessa's wearing in the box art. I'm suprised (but maybe I shouldn't be?) about how much merchandise there is for an artsy opposite-of-family-friendly show like this.

This may be slightly off topic but does Eva Green look eerily similar to Australian comedian Kate McCartney to anyone else? I can't decide if they're really all that similar looking or if I just have a stereotypical case of goon face blindness

Reeve Carney has been cast as Riff Raff in the Fox updated production of "The Rocky Horror Show." He'll be starring alongside Laverne Cox (Frank N. Furter).

Carney can sing, he was the original Broadway Spider-Man in "Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark" but he can't really act for poo poo. His "creepy" acting on Penny Dreadful just comes across as if he were stumbling around in a GHB-induced stupor while trying to seduce teenagers. Well, maybe that is perfect for a Fox production of "The Rocky Horror Show."

Another trailer. Show definitely seems to be going some different places visually this season. Only real fear right now is it looks like the frankenstein/dorian gray stuff looks even fruther away from the rest of the cast than it usually is.

I'm liking the casting of Wes Studi. He's pretty awesome in everything.

I'll be surprised if by the end of the show Jekyll/Hyde doesn't show up.

Patti Lupone is credited as Dr. Seward this season, I have no idea if she's going to be Jack Seward or if they are changing the sex for the character.

Those desert/western shots looked absolutely stunning.

This show is all blue hued now suddenly there's this huge orange landscape, just awesome to look at and hopefully it hints that they're going to open up the story a bit more. I hope they find a good groove, season 2 was excellent.
