Really, sj? That's so disappointing. I mean, it makes sense, but still. WANT MORE. (I haven't seen episodes 8 or 9 yet, and now I'm glad I can savor them. Sob.)
I miss Oz. He'd get it. He wouldn't say anything, but he'd get it.

Yeah, the EP confirmed it to TVline, which is a very spoiler filled website for last night's episodes.

I was spoiled for part of Penny Dreadful thanks to email Showtime sent out.
My thoughts?
No happy ending. I knew, back in season 1, that this sort of outcome was the likely end game.
BUT DAMMIT I WANTED VANESSA AS THE MOTHER OF EVIL. I WANTED HER TO RULE IN MAGNIFICENT DARKNESS. WOULD IT HAVE KILLED YOU, JOHN LOGAN, TO GIVE US SEASON 4 WITH HER AS THE BIG BAD? TO HAVE GIVEN VANESSA A SEASON OF GLORIOUS EVIL and then maybe have her sacrifice herself to save the world?
I see how this end came about. It just wasn't the one *I* wanted.

I am just starting Penny Dreadful. I'm most of the way through Season 1 (I had to stop last night about halfway through the episode where Vanessa is possessed after sexy-times with Dorian Grey).
I really love this show, Timothy Dalton, the Creature (as much as I was upset about Proteus, the first Creature has won me over), and LOVE LOVE LOVE the Grand Guignol (as a theater person, does this surprise anyone?).
But above all of them is the brilliant white hot light of Eva Green. Holy crap is she mind-blowing in this.
And boy is it a little disconcerting to watch Rose as a consumptive prostitute.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I was really surprised that Van Helsing was offed so nonchalantly, and without passing on much info about Dracula or vampires in general.
Is Dorian Gray going to seduce all the main characters before the end of the series? Because I could get on board with that.

I liked the way the show ended for the most part. I'm really hoping that the new American Gods show is wonderful because I don't really have any shows left that make me gleefully happy.

Exactly! They set it up so perfectly.
Questions, though:
How did Varys get back from Dorne to Mereen so quickly?
Who exactly is Jon's mother? (That's all so far back in the story, I can't keep it all straight.) That was the girl Ned was supposed to marry? I need to Wiki all this.
Also, librarygasm.

That was Ned's sister who Robert was supposed to marry.

Ah! So ... is Jon really Robert's son then?!
Oh, wait. So he could be Rhaegar's son?
