You guys I might be more excited for this than I am for the next Game of Thrones season, and that's quite something because I goddamn love me some Game of Thrones.

If you read the books you'd be correct in not looking forward to the next few seasons of GoT. Though it's HBO so they'll probably fix a lot of the issues that existed in the next two books.

Penny Dreadful was a huge surprise for me last year, and I'm really looking forward to it returning as well. We still need to see the Creature from the Black Lagoon and maybe a banshee or something.

I foresee Emostein falling for the blind girl and abandoning his reanimated Billy.

Probably be easier to explain to the blind than to understand the garbled undead rantings anyways.

Seriously, I just burst out laughing when I heard her new voice, and immediately thought of all the comments here last season.

And then he rips her in half when he finds out the horrible put-on Irish accent survived the process.

It's gotta come back to the main story though. Maybe they'll run into Lily somehow. That could be funny.

I think the key link is when Frankenstein rocks up with Billy Piper who both Dorian and Werewolf Josh know to be dead.

They should rewrite Dorian as Raymond Reddington, the concierge for the supernatural armed only with his little black book.

:colbert: Dorian we need to find a Catholic Priest of Persian descent who can also read Sanskrit to take part in our ritual and translate this old scroll for us.

:sparkles: Oh yes, you'll want Father James from Manchester, we met in the summer of 24 on a delightful cruise down the Nile. Not much of a talker but by god that mouth of his could sate you for hours and hours under the African sun.

Someone get this slayer of kegs a writing credit!

Loved how Caliban was telling Lily that fake story about how they confronted those men asking how the two of them could be together ... and then Dorian pulls the same stunt a little later on.

Really? I thought that was incredibly ham-fisted. I have hope that Dorian and Angelique will tie into the story somehow, but right now it just seems to be there as a Trans acceptance mouthpiece.

Pretty disappointed with Angelique's role in the show if thats it. Seems like a long way to go around just to have Dorian poison her because he found something new and she saw his picture. Could have achieved the same thing with just a random party guest.

Its not a "fridging" by definition because no one gives a poo poo about Angelique.

Was Dr. Frank N. Furter a prominent character in old penny dreadfuls? Maybe its just a call back. Still holdin out hope for Jekyll and Hyde.

I'd like to see Jekyll and Hyde myself. Would be a fun one to introduce in the final/next season. Also, maybe get rid of Dorian as he manages to make everything boring and uninteresting. It's like the opposite of what his character is supposed to be.

I honestly can't place if it's the writing or the actor that drags the Dorian scenes down. My feeling is they are both poor, but who knows. You'd think having a tryst with a trans woman who you then murder for finding out your secret and then loving the living corpse of a homicidal Irish hooker would be more interesting.

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.

Well when he's done swimming back to England from the south pole I'm sure it will be a shock.

This episode almost felt like a play since it all took place in one room and was totally character driven. My roommate, that has never watched the show before, was 100% transfixed on it and is now plowing through the series to catch up.

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.

I didn't catch it, but if they give her the Jekyl medicine it would be a perfect time for them to unleash it back on the world!

I took it more as eyerolling boredom and I've been feeling the same thing about the Lily plot for quite a few episodes now.

He straight up said as much too, and I believe him. He's not afraid of the women, he's just sick of them and their "revolution" as he's been through a bunch of them and doesn't find them entertaining anymore. He's just a spoiled boy looking for something new and thought another immortal would be just the thing only to find her as boring as he finds everyone else.

He really needs to start seeing someone his own age, Lily is literally a child to him.

Now who do we know that is ancient and depraved and also interesting and handsome? Dorcula, the one true pair.

If we don't get Dorcula then I'm gonna be heartbroken. One of the best portmanteaus ever.

Maybe get some good press in the week between its finale and GoT? Which still means beating GoT to the finish line. It's apples and oranges though, there is no way Penny Dreadful can match the numbers or directly compete with GoT. It would be like trying to have Ray Donovan compete directly with The Sopranos. Just ain't gonna be a thing.

Dorian did in the show what he does in life. Float in and out of other people's stories looking for something interesting, but ultimately being bored.
