So, one need only thwart Lucifer once to be done with him forever? Good to know. :-)

"The Dorian ending where it's made clear that Dorian is the portrait and only the portrait is nicely done." This was my favorite part about the end of the series.

Yeah, I wasn't sure how to read that moment. I thought maybe that since Renfield was a vampire or whatever, he had some mental thing happening that Seward was able to tap into or that Seward was just putting together his description and her own London knowledge, but the witch connection could also explain the moment.

Did Vanessa really have to die?

So, Rocky Horror gets thrown in the Penny Dreadful mix. Cool.

She made the characterization work.

I agree. That quote is significant beyond just Victor's storyline.

Dorian Gray's plots always felt disconnected from the rest of the show. On the one hand, he added a certain style, besides just the literary reference, to the series, but on the other, he detracted from the other characters. Correct me if I'm wrong, but in the book the source of his eternal youth, as much as any

Seward was great tonight.

I guess Lucifer was so afraid of Dracula that when Vanessa chose the dragon, Lucifer completely called it quits.

Eva Green will be in the movie Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children.

Kaetenay is the new Sembene, right?

Cat makes a big deal about the fog being deadly so that Ethan might wear a filtering mask, and then not a single character wears anything of the sort at any time.

The lighting behind Dorian in his final moment seemed weird to me. The whole city is shrouded in darkness from sickening fog, but enough light shines through Dorian's window to illuminate him like that. In hindsight, that lighting clearly signifies "remember me like this since you won't see any more of me"; in which

Dracula said the thing about the music! :-)

I guess Cat is just Miss Ass-Kicking Exposition-Provider.

I kept waiting for the question mark.

I love how they abruptly bump into Victor in the hall of the mental hospital and are like "Wanna join us for the ultimate showdown, even though we haven't seen you all season?"

I'm happy with Lily's turn in the finale away from Dorian, but I do wish that some of the mystery surrounding Dorian had been addressed.

At the end, John Clare is reciting the beginning and mid-beginning-ish parts of Romantic poet William Wordsworth's "Ode: Intimations of Immortality."
