the blood orgy was marilyn manson video levels of silly, not the tableau vivant i wanted. i'm no connoisseur but wasn't there one with rachel evan wood?

i think, again, it is due to Lily and her quest presenting a fleeting fancy to him, a new form of life he hasn't encountered yet. and when you are jaded with debauchery and overstimulated to numbness, any sort of novelty might do. anything that's not been tried before might present a welcome outlet. and who is to say,…

how fortunate. you must give lady luck my heartfelt regards.

millefeuille indeed. even the theatrical creation of the persona sir Lyle inhabits in this world of ours, outside of Penny Dreadful, cannot be described without resorting to an edible and pastry related metaphor.

NONE of this is credible to someone from this particular part of Eastern Europe. Honestly, the writers can go and fuck off a cliff with their obscene vulturism and offensively misguided dialogue on Serbian and Bosnian history. The only thing this show excels at is opening credits. I will repeat once again, the main…

even more food for thought: it is the second time she spared him.

i'm guessing Dorian's sheer curiosity and the novelty of Lily's very existence are enough. he is beyond good and evil by now, only novelty will keep him interested.

ah but have you forgotten her apprenticeship with the Cutwife? she can survive anywhere, in clean clothes and sufficiently fed. how one behaves while in mourning is no reflection of their skills.

very handsome, to boot

good to know if they hang me for that, it will be a very crowded gallows. and you, always a damn pleasurable sight.

revisited it yesterday. i keep finding traces of the score, the art direction in so many places, its legacy is unquestionable. it is a pleasure i will always proudly be guilty of.

do i render myself foolish if i express possibly disproportionate gratitude for your tender comment, kindest of Paulies? well, i am a fool. my heart is foolish. so let me be myself, with abandon. thank you for making this bitter day a bit more palatable.

come to think of it, would ethan warn kaetanay he's got blood on his teeth and in his soul now had he already killed for him?

wholeheartedly agreed. in the words of sir malcolm, 'god grant us anything but ships'. but i am preternaturally invested in vanessa/ethan.

has anyone else noticed Logan likes to insert a poignant 'Let it' every now and then, perhaps even more frequently than i observed? i remember quite a few times they did it. that and the occasional 'dreadful'.

that would indeed be the longest game. it would undoubtedly elicit the biggest juiciest 'chicanery' from sir malcolm thus far. feeding them clues since we first met him, introducing them to madam kali, all the while superbly playing both sides, and now propelling vanessa back into the mammalian world. leading her to…

i'll hazard a guess that dracula and vanessa on a date, watching moving images was a rather nice tribute to coppola's dracula. i might be mistaken, i'll risk it gladly. i do love coppola's dracula and the oceans of time he traversed and so on. ah.

i do commend your efforts

the dueling lecturers!

do we want to see how they would handle the cgi of required proportions, though? i for one do not
