I know. I was almost crying. This season has really softened me on the Creature, now that he's finally ceased the incessant whining about how he really deserves a beautiful girlfriend. Now I like to think that was just his creator's awfulness rubbing off on him temporarily, and we're finally seeing the real John Clare…

He has been steadily growing on me throughout the past season and this one, so I really hope he's still alive. That scene in the episode's cold open in which he very calmly "declared everyone… under arrest!" - with all the musical & visual cues appropriate to a huge dramatic climax - was delightful.

But period blood smells so much worse than, umm, vein blood!

I didn't really buy its staying liquid for so long (seriously, tv blood just never dries up, I find it very distracting). But then I guess it might be hard to enjoy one's threesome while bits of dried blood are flaking off of everyone.

That baby was the saddest thing ever. I was like WON'T SOMEONE AT LEAST LOVINGLY HOLD HER FOR A BIT.

She told Donnie that 'that French doctor' helped her, so presumably Delphine aided her escape.

That's what I was thinking at first, but what's the use? Adele would immediately be on to her. Unless Adele is a pawn who sincerely believes she's Felix's sister… hmm.

I thought he was adorable. I can be really clueless sometimes. :(

Yeah, I learned that yesterday. I could've sworn Iceland and Finland were part of it! The things you learn from Orphan Black-inspired Wikipedia'ing.

The Dutch looked OK to me (I paused and tried to read it, same as you…), the only thing that rang false to me was "on the highway near Amsterdam" - an actual news headline would've named the highway (there are a lot of them, near Amsterdam). I suspect they wanted to put Amsterdam in there to have a word recognisable…

I *just* posted a comment on that! I guess it sounds Scandinavian in the very technical sense that Finland is a Scandinavian country, but if you lump in Finnish with the other Scandinavian languages, the adjective becomes rather meaningless.

It kinda bothers me how people keep pinpointing MK's accent as 'Scandinavian', since Finnish is part of a language family that's largely spoken outside of Scandinavia, and it doesn't resemble the other major Scandinavian languages at all.

They showed the Dutch article right at the same time Ferdinand was saying something like "It's Scandinavian, isn't it?" and I was about to start yelling at my screen when I realised he was talking about MK's accent.

Same here. I love this show, but this thing drives me mad. (Same with Liv's refusal to tell the truth to Major last season even though he was obviously cottoning on to the whole zombie thing & on a pretty sure path to getting himself killed. This kind of artificial tension creation just makes me want to scream in…

Yeah, the execution of the Putney Evil Reveal wasn't the subtlest. Maybe the show just REALLY wanted the viewers on the Creature's side this time.

That question makes sense if you interpret 'belief in God' as 'belief in the existence of God', but if I'm to believe what many a sermon taught me, that's a fairly modern, Western take on it - if the Bible talks about faith in God it's about trusting, loving and following him, not just believing he exists. I think…

Depends on what it means to be a god, I suppose?

I interpreted the cross-burning as the counterpart of Vanessa's earlier defeat of the devil - she used to believe that she had to choose between God and Satan and that choosing the one would amount to rejecting the other (and so everyone's been telling her, from the Cut-Wife to the Satan-doll), but in her actions this…

I do like him, but the 'clueless police getting in the way of the good guys by investigating mysteries that are really way out of their league' thing does tend to get tiring rather quickly. Not that Rusk is clueless - he actually sort of defeats the trope by realising that the mystery is supernatural - but somehow the…

I don't think the Creature enjoys torture (except for Frankenstein, whom he enjoyed torturing emotionally, although I think he's ceased to find any satisfaction in that either). I don't think he's even really angry at the Putneys - they mostly made him realise he didn't want anything to do with mankind anymore.
