I couldn't finish Hemlock Grove 1 -- even with my fondness for werewolves, couldn't do it, and I watched Wolf Lake.
You've got my support. Just think of me as...as your... You know, I'm searching for 'supportive things' and I'm coming up all bras.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Now that I'm all Oranged-up, whose back story interested/surprised/mindfucked you the most?
I think they made it clear in S1 something was up with the wedding to Christopher, so although the lengths she'd gone to (and the assumption it was stalking and attempted murder not mail scam that got her into jail) was a surprise, I have to doff my hat to Poussey. I saw nothing but the lesbian coming, and that was kind of a given.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
It's cheating to say "Everybody but Piper" right?
Okay though, my favorites were probably Crazy Eyes and Miss Rosa from S2.

Suzanne makes me feel uncomfortable. She's one of the elements that makes the show feel really real, and like I shouldn't be consuming it as light enjoyment.

I liked Sister Ingalls' back story a lot -- feet of clay, surprisingly human and ordinary.
Somebody, I don't know where, compared the guards and correctional staff to The Office.

Hey Penny Dreadful people! We're going to start watching it soon, and I've been told that there's a section early on (in the credits?) that has JilliFont issues. Can any of you give me a heads-up as to where I should brace myself/hide behind Clovis?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
There are several Jillifont issues throughout the series, not just in the beginning. Unfortunately, I don't remember exactly where they were, but they freaked me out.

The whole Poussey and Taystee storyline really hit me in the feelz, as did Miss Rosa.

Because books.
You should pretty much skip the credits entirely, Jilli. In the first episode, if you see a woman kneeling in prayer in front of a crucifix, fast forward to the end of the scene. I think it only happens once in that episode.

Big news on who they cast for Doran Martell on Game of Thrones. Does casting news count as a spoiler?
