The Western storyline got a bit too silly in this last episode in my opinion. The American lawman guy getting shot like that was kind of a wet fart to his character I felt. I never expected Brona/Lily to become my favorite character, surpassing even Vanessa. But her performance in this ep really did it for me, showing a little bit of nuance beyond the revenge plot. I loved seeing that she still felt a connection to her past self.

I'm finally caught up on this series, really liking it. That said, seeing Goonstein's kid freaking out was really  , especially after seeing him as the orderly.

bull3964 posted:Economics for premium cable shows are all different. You care about subs, not eyeballs. Same is true for Netflix. Netflix needs to calculate how much revenue in subs they get vs licensing fees. I don't understand why they keep putting this show up against Game of Thrones. There's no way they can compete with it, all it's going to do is drive viewership down. I hope the last shot of this season is Mr. Lyle busting through the door in a spiffy archeologists outfits immediately followed a Mummy

It doesn't matter if the majority of views are on Showtime Anytime or DVR watches. Premium channels don't give a flying gently caress if you watch their shows live. Also, it's not up against GoT anyways. GoT is 9pm, Penny Dreadful is at 10pm.

Ethan saying the Lord's Prayer was so dumb. Like something a 10-year-old would do to be pissy. I want a cursed mummy plot out of Lyle's move to Cairo.

Yeah, he wasn't the biggest character on the show but I liked him, would've liked for him to get to be a bit of a badass in the end instead of just getting shot down like a sucker. I didn't expect the witch chick to die so easily/quickly eirher, especially after all the screentime she's gotten, same for inspector one-arm. drat, they got rid of a ton of characters this episode. cheerfullydrab posted:Poor Dorian, he was so lonely because of being immortal, and he thought that he'd finally found somebody else who was immortal, and that they could bond over being bored and possibly capriciously mess some normal people up for shits and giggles. Now his house is full of ladies who want to kill any men they can and he's a little over his head. Pretty sure he'll be calling in his favor with Victor to have him help get rid of Lily. The militant hooker gang have pretty much sentenced him to death already, it's just a matter of when, not if.

Things I shouted at the TV while watching this latest episode: GOD drat IT, VANESSA! Don't gently caress Dracula! GOD drat IT, VICTOR FRANKENSTEN! Don't barge into the prostitute murder party! GOD drat IT, DORIAN! This isn't about you! GOD drat IT, PENNY DREADFUL! Do not send Lyle away! Also, best thing was the dinner murder followed by Ethan and Hecate digging in to their steak and potatoes.

So far it's been pretty obvious to me which characters are representing those from previous works, but I can't figure out who Hardigan (sp?) is. Or is she a completely original character?

I assume the insistence of replacing one Egyptologist with another is because the show is really set on doing a mummy plot line? Right? Right? KasioDiscoRock posted:Also John Logan was the screenwriter for the film, so I think you're on the right track. I'd assume that'd either be a joke about how she's a woman ahead of her time, or he just likes the name, though. Like how Russel T. Davies really likes the surname Tyler.

This season has been 100% better because of the very small screen time they've given Dorian. I don't think they're gonna kill him, but I'm hoping he will wind up getting written out by the end of the season.

Mouse Dresser posted:Things I shouted at the TV while watching this latest episode: God drat Sir Malcolm doesn't say much but he is a complete badass. The scenes with Vanessa and Cat Hartdegen was terrific. Also I love how the psychiatrist seems to have given up on analyzing Vanessa and accepted her as a friend and confidant having sympathetic "my life is a loving unbelievable trainwreck" conversations. I didn't expect Vanessa to move so fast with Dracula, but with only 9 episodes to the season, every story arc is racing along.

I'm a little bit bummed that Hecate and inspector Rusk went down like they did. Rusk especially, he's been one of my favourite characters in the show. So often the "normal human police officer" in a supernatural show comes off as being way out of their depth, but Rusk just exuded competence from the get-go. Even in his first scene I was like "okay, this guy is freakin' sharp". I love it when a show has such respect for its side characters and the actor did a fantastic job. I would have loved for him to get some sort of closure, to at least find out what the hell was going on. Well, he's a tough bastard, maybe next episode they'll find him still hanging on and have a little talk.

Yeah, while I didn't feel very attached to Hecate, I really liked Rusk. Ethan's got a lot to make up for now that his survival has cost us yet another badass.

The vampires crawling around is not as unsettling as the directors seem to think it is. It's more goofy than anything.

Well, I'm not sure I ever expected this to happen, but I'm glad it did. They've spent the whole series going on and on about how terrible it would be if Vanessa gave in to evil, so I'm pretty interested in seeing the results. Is there a season four confirmed yet? If not, I expect things might get messier.

"We're going to make you into a proper woman." Jesus Christ with a bleeding arse, Victor, you irreparable autist. Also I dread to find out what there is in store for Goonenstein's Monster, I have zero faith that something won't go horribly wrong for him. Probably his family will be eaten by ghouls or someshit.
