So, in a fit of procrastination, I am doing a Bragging Rights Prediction Pool for the GoT finale.
By necessity, there are pretty major spoilers for the books.
And now my boy's in love. All hearts and flowers. But, doesn't it freak you out that she used to change your diapers? I mean, when you think about it, the first woman you boned is the closest thing you've ever had to a mother. Doing your mom and trying to kill your dad. Hm. There should be a play.

As for Penny Dreadful - I hate Vanessa's backstory. Meh.
I will be interested to see what others say about it over time, but I think I'm dropping Penny Dreadful. It's not creepy fun, it's just ugly.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Worse than that, it's boring. I assume we'll get back to the stories I find more interesting next week.

Because books.
Worse than that, it's boring.
Oh, I liked it! It was so perfectly gothic, a real "penny dreadful" tale. And at least now I know where the twisted vibe between Vanessa and Malcolm comes from.
Also, the woman who played Vanessa's mother could be her mother! Such a strong resemblance.
Also also, English seashore house porn. NOM.

Just watched the first episode of PD (I've been saving them up until the first one was rebroadcast) -- I'm definitely intrigued.
I may watch it just to revel in the costuming, though.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm only watching PD with half an eye. It's very pretty, but only some people compel me. So I guess I missed Vanessa's backstory--please to explain?
The Ethan/Dorian--well I was not expecting that. I'm sure my sister is already aware.
I do like the Mina search, I like Ethan and Billie-the-ho, Dorian usually keeps my attention, and Frankenstein is fun. Poor Proteus!

I'm with bonny. I am out. It reminds me (in structure) of the awful Netflix series with Famke Janssen (sp?). The acting is FAR SUPERIOR in PD, but the plot...?

I hope that guy with the red shirt taking still photos works for the band, because otherwise... Rude!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Happy Father’s Day.
