As someone who loves reading as well as film and tv, I completely agree. The whole ''imagination'' argument just does not work - no one is going to feel inspired to engage on any level with something they have to struggle through. Plus, plenty of good films also make you think about what's going on inside a…

I actually can't recall if he also made that reference. I was mostly referring to Catrionas comment since she was discussing his goals, and Dracula/Sweets speech came across as a thinly veiled attempt to talk about how vampires aren't that bad, really, they just need blood to survive! Which is great and all, but I…

I know you are probably referring to the Lily/Dorian story in general (which I like, even if I'm not sure where it's going) but the actual dancing bit this episode was so odd. Justine and Lily just waltzing about while the other women just… watch? If I was one of them, I would have stood up and said ''excuse me, lady,…

I'm not sure about Catriona yet, but I like this theory. Where is the Julie d'Aubigny miniseries that we all need and deserve?

I spend so much time working on a paper on mockumentary that the thought of writing something incredibly coherent makes me scream, so I'm just going to list all my thoughts on the different story lines. There are a lot of them (thoughts as well as story lines), but unlike with papers no one is forced to read this so…

Thank you! I actually didn't think about Duko working on his own or the fact that the antagonists don't know the about how terrible an idea it is to mess with the Hendrixes. It makes much more sense now, even if I'm still not entirely convinced.

If your interpretation is that Victor was looking out for the patients interest, sure. Personally, I think he was mostly looking out for his own. Understandable, considering the situation he was in - but still messed up.

I thought it was a good episode, but I'm a bit confused as to why Duko didn't see that trap coming. They didn't spy on Alison to make sure she didn't contact Sarah, so they gave her plenty of time to do just that and make sure he walked into a trap. Did I miss something? Anyway, goodbye Duko, to me you will always be…

I regret that I can only upvote this once. Thank you for taking the time to write out that response! I don't know if I can just drop the show, but I know that I usually find disappointing seasons of shows much easier to deal with if I know what's going to bother me. Everything I actually end up liking is a pleasant…

I've actually only read Frankenstein (which is one of my favorite books), though I have some of the others lying around - I am very good at buying more books than I can read. If you have an e-reader or don't mind reading online, most of the books are public domain so they are available for free on sites like project…

That's an interesting comparison! I hadn't thought of that.
Despite what I said about him here, I also have a soft spot for Frankenstein (not so much for Walt, though). I think Treadaway is great in this role and I don't see Victor as being beyond redemption. If only he realized he needed it… apart from that, I have…

Uhm quite a bit about some of the most important plot twists and the overall story arc, but not a lot of details. Let's see:
- Lexa and Lincoln are dead. Some other people too, probably (it's the 100 after all) but these are the most important and also the most controversial deaths this season.
- Bellamy sides with a…

I would love to see a confrontation between him and Vanessa if she ever finds out about this. It would be heartbreaking (I loved their previous interactions) but so fascinating to watch.

I think telling explaining someone the price of what you're doing in a case like this is pretty important. Not to mention that Victor had ulterior motives. It's not like he wanted to help her - he was trying to evade the wrath of the first monster he created. Which is an understandable motivation, but that doesn't…

Sorry, I'm one of those annoying people who thought it was one of the best episodes the show ever did :)
I think it is possibly my favorite and I don't believe doing the storyline as part of an episode would have had the same emotional/dramatic impact. I can see how that argument might ring hollow to you if the most…

I completely forgot about Rusk! That was really underdeveloped as well. I guess it didn't bother me as much because they spent so much time building up Ethan as a (relatively) kind and moral person.

Weakest episode of the season for me. Hope it stays that way and the last four are as strong as the first four! I also have trouble believing Ethans development here. Not that it is impossible to imagine, but last season they spend a lot of time getting him to face up to what he did (if I recall correctly, he turned…

I don't know, I think he did plenty of terrible things in the first two seasons. Bring a man back to life, then abandon him (which is the most in-character thing for a Victor Frankenstein to do but still), then bring back another man anyway. Yes, he treated him kindly but also told him absolutely nothing about who he…

Yeah, that's a good point. Like I said, I didn't read some kind of terrible statement into it, it just felt a bit off. But I totally see why that might be just me, which is why it was a random point (in the original comment) rather than an actual rant or something.

Based on the other comments I'm probably going to give it a chance, but thanks for the reply! Do you mind telling me what made you stop watching? If you don't have the time or just don't feel like it, you don't have to, obviously. I'm just curious.
