The scarlet letter was her passport into regions where other women dared not tread. Shame, Despair, Solitude! These had been her teachers, stern and wild ones, and they had made her strong, but taught her much amiss.

I like Hartnett and I like Piper's awful accent because she seems to be having so much goddamn fun with the character. This is a show full of scenery demolishers.

TONIGHT ON PENNY DREADFUL:

Ethan Chandler is not told what's going on. Sir Malcolm and Miss Ives share significant looks. Brona's accent continues to manipulate the fate of humanity from the shadows to bring about the end of the world. An NPC is messily disemboweled.

I'm down with that...:colbert:

I was going to contradict that but y'know, Fates Worse Than Death are actually a big recurring theme in real penny dreadfuls.

This! The show has its issues but my god do they stay true to the themes of the source material. Desperation, poverty, death, lust...all the things polite society won't talk about.

Dalton was Bond right from the original books. He nailed that character.

Then watch him basically play a Bond villain in the Rocketeer right after you watch those two. Then watch Hot Fuzz because that's a funny movie and he's perfectly over-the-top in it.

Man, Timothy Dalton's had a pretty awesome career.

And going toe to toe in scenery chewing with Brian Blessed in Flash Gordon.

Book Bond was frequently a thug so I'm okay with Quantum.

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
