Dorian is entertaining and, come on people, they're not going to have him off doing his own thing for absolutely the entire season.

Finally, the picture. I thought it was done very well.

Isn't Caliban pieces of multiple people put together? She isn't, that's why she has retained her memories. I think there was some big foreshadowing with this with Proteus being just one body that was reanimated and how fast he started to figure out his former life. Lily/Brona has been around a lot longer than Proteus has at this point. Honestly Frankenstein would have probably realized "Wait, didn't Proteus start to remember some things pretty fast, hey, what about my new creation?" if he didn't have the stress of the witch situation, the translation, and Mr. Clare constantly being on his rear end.

I'm not saying he had a choice, I'm asking whether or not Caliban is made out of multiple corpses, and am I right in remembering that Proteus was one person, just like Brona/Lily is?

Because Proteus was definitely remembering his former life, and if he could, and he was one reanimated whole body, then that sets precedent for Lily/Brona doing the same while of course Caliban who is human processed product cannot remember anything from before he was "created". This has character implications, especially with his certain kind of fixation on his Creator vs. Lily/Brona's attitudes.

The only thing that brought me out of the last episode was evil Mr. Putney talking about his fancy new piece of clothing that cost 20 shillings. Pre-decimal British currency worked like this: 12 pence a shilling, 20 shillings a pound. So his thing cost a pound and he should have used some of the 1890's slang for pound that existed. That's what I thought was unrealistic. Not the werewolf, or the witches, or the main characters who are re-animated corpses, that's what pissed me off. People are weird.

As sad as Van Hellsing dying was it was quite possibly the most shocking/hilarious death I have ever seen, right behind Adam 2 being ripped in half by John Clare. Pretty much any time anyone gets introduced I am secretly hoping they get torn to pieces.

Also I'm sure John Clare is going to be really, really sad when he finds out Tennyson died.

I'm still not over Proteus dying.

Jekyll/Frankenstein teamup is everything I hoped for. And no emostein to ruin the episode.

Ms. Ives thinking she he can have a normal relationship with the first man she meets is adorable when her last two flings were an immortal serial killer and a werewolf. The therapist looking like she wanted to jump off a cliff while listening to her story was a nice touch as well.

Losing your faith and dating the Monster Mash? She's having a tough year.

I can't be the only one who thought Jekyll might change into Mr. Hyde during his awesome little speech.

I was so surprised and happy to see Brian Cox, definitely my favorite thing that's happened this season. He's good in everything he does.

I don't think Ethan's going to survive this season - but if we don't get a fourth, it's not like it matters.

At the moment it's not looking promising: http://tvseriesfinale.com/tv-show/penny-dreadful-season-three-ratings/

Gotta love that jump in viewership after the amazing 5/22 episode, though.

Halt and Catch Fire made me believe that ratings do not matter at all!

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.
