I was intrigued by the way Inspector Rusk decided that their approach to making sense of the killings on the train - logic - was all wrong, and replied 'Magic' when his subordinate asked what explanation they should look for. He didn't look as if he was joking; so does he seriously consider magic to be the answer? If…

'My past is littered with Byzantine dalliances, from Stoke-on-Trent to Buda-Pesth.'

Diana Rigg is back! Hurrah!

Yes, Allen was great in that (undoubtedly difficult) scene.

Jerome Flynn singing, and also being wonderful - "You fight pretty well, for a little girl" - A+.

Yes, I really did love that scene. Rory Kinnear is a great classical actor (two years ago he won the Olivier Award for playing Iago), and he and Eva Green really sold the hell out of the scene. Plus, as was noted above, seeing the Creature interact with one of the main players who isn't Victor was a treat. I wonder…

Years ago I worked in a large Vancouver hotel where the chef was really good; he'd been on Canada's Culinary Olympics team, that sort of thing. I was chatting with him one day, and he said he hardly ever got asked over to friends' houses for dinner, because everyone was terrified of cooking for him, thinking he'd be…

Peter Vaughan - Maester Aemon - is 92 years old. That is all (and it's awesome).

Characters mention how infectious X is + characters fight those with X + characters ask each other afterward 'Were you touched?' + both say 'No' = one of them has X.

So glad to see the wonderful David Haig as the proprietor of the wax museum! Here's hoping he doesn't meet an early - and grisly - end.

I love the fact that Penny Dreadful is one of the few - the only? - shows on TV where a character can die in season one and come back in season 2.

Applauded for the use of bathory. I see what you did there. . . .

Best moment without words: Bronn rowing the boat, somewhat laboriously, and looking meaningfully at Jaime, who just shrugs. I imagine the dialogue, if there'd been any, would have been along the lines of Bronn saying 'You know, it wouldn't kill you to take a turn' and Jaime replying 'Hey, I'd love to, but look - just…

Gosh, haven't watched the opening credits for Roots since the show aired in 1977, but instantly remembered the music note for note. And the artwork made me recall most of the scenes and characters immediately. Think I might take a pass on the remake and re-watch the original instead.

Fan girl that I am, I squealed with delight when David Warner - David Warner! - held up a copy of an issue of Varney the Vampire during a TV show and started waxing enthusiastic about it. Never thought I'd see that.

It's brilliant; along with Penny Dreadful my favourite show of the last three years.

Yes, which is one of the reasons I naively thought the remake might at least be okay (plus I thought Jude Law was perfect for Michael Caine's character; I wasn't so sure about Caine in the Olivier part, since that needs an actor who can ooze surface charm and upper class bonhomie that masks a deep-seated class hatred,…

Love the books, and thought the series really did them justice; and the scenery was breathtaking. My son watched them with me; he was only 11 at the time, and hadn't read the books, but loved the series. We were both disappointed when, after ending on a cliffhanger, it didn't get picked up for a second series.

This makes me think of when my son, then 10, learned there was a remake of the 1972 film version of Sleuth due out. He loved the original, and his first comment when he heard about the remake was 'I wonder just how much it's going to suck compared with the original.' ('Quite a lot' turned out to be the answer.) Ah, to…

Gwendoline Christie really hit it out of the park tonight. Brilliant monologue explaining her devotion to Renly Barratheon.
