I know, I mean, penny dreadfuls- they're supposed to spin on endlessly, hence the name. But this show is worth so much more than that, even if it was able to perfectly hit that Gothic sweet spot in ways that sometimes made me think it could've been pulled from one. There's no other show that has that, and for someone…

I actually do like the Lily-Dorian-Justine story; I'm interested to see what they're gonna to do and what will happen with their in-fighting. But Victor needs to stay out of it, stop obsessing over something he neither has the right to nor understanding of, and leave Lily be. I want Dr. Jekyll to get wise to finally…

We definitely still need to find out what what caused Ethan's lycanthropy. I don't think he was born it with it and has turned all his life? I have a feeling Kaetenay might know the answer to this.

Scenes like that make it seem like choosing Lucifer would be the lesser of two evils for Vanessa, although of course I'm just not dwelling on what that would even be like. But those things are filthy, foul abominations and I can not feel sympathy for them no matter how convincing Dr. Sweet is.

HIVampirism?

When Vanessa and Dr. Sweet started kissing I kept repeating over and over, "Don't fuck Dracula, don't fuck Dracula." And then she fucked Dracula! Great, Vanessa …

John Clare's storyline is breaking my heart. His poor, dying son is sad enough, but the fact that he can't even comfort the boy because of what was done to him is so cruel.

People were even tweeting that at Levar Burton. Levar Burton does not have time for that shit!

Wow. They were in need of being taken down immediately, and- from what I learned- think about how Reagan fiddle-farted around and refused to divest from them for the whole 80's because of his near-pathological obsession with communists. He absolutely sided with the greater of two evils in this case, which isn't really…

That is very true, and obvs. why they basically brushed that off as small potatoes in favor of their larger objective.

Welp, I'm not a spaceship expert, which is why I asked, and I wasn't born then. I'm also not a supercilious asshole either though, so I'll count that as a win for me. :)

And the agent didn't know she was working for the Soviets, is that right? She thought she was working for the mob? (Not that much cleaner, I wouldn't think.)

Yikes!

You've got a hang-up. Get over it.

I am very worried for Hans as well.

I feel lie it was just last year's finale! This season has really flown by.

It honestly could not be rated higher (does that work the way I mean it to?). It is too good, nearly perfect.

I still watch Orphan Black and Tatiana Maslany is so good, but it can't keep its stories together and sometimes sitting down to watch feels like a slog. Never this! Or Penny Dreadful (for different reasons). Seriously, people, Penny Dreads! Watch!

The fears of the age lend themselves to good stories and they don't have to be scientifically sound to be powerful to people.

For fuck's … good God, I'm not sure I've heard anything so calculatedly heinous about modern day scientists. That's just- you've gone so far into science you've lost any conscience if you could entertain that idea.
