Where the hell is Van Helsing? I wish Tim Dalton was playing him.

Maybe Ethan didn't bat an eye because he doesn't know he is a werewolf. He doesn't remember anything when he transforms. Im glad Van Helsing showed up but its the halfway point and I hope they find him something to do, because Dalton is pretty much sitting in his chair as far as character roles and group dynamic goes.

I will say it is kind of cool to see Caliban genuinely having a good time being useful and how kind surrogate stage dad is to him. :unsmith:

Eva Green was in this short-lived show about King Arthur, where she played Morgan, and Joseph Fiennes was Merlin. They were the best parts in it.

Killing Van Helsing is just about the worst thing this show has done.

I think the single worst decision was killing off Van Helsing before he could really sink into the role. I still stand by my thoughts that Dalton should've just been Van Helsing, and the main focus of the show instead of Mina's dad or whatever.

I said this in S1, too (before the character was revealed and then killed with no fanfare), but Dalton really should've been Van Helsing.

I thought for sure that was the dude from Moulin Rogue. One thing I really enjoy about this show is that none of my predictions are right. Almost everything I've guessed at with the exception of Ethan's condition and Billie Piper's future I have been utterly wrong about it, and it feels good to be surprised.

How was anyone surprised by the Wolf-Man look when the rest of the monsters are paying homage to Universal era stuff?
