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 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.
GoT: cannot wait for Next season!!!!!
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?
That is the popular theory.
I mean, he had to stand on his tippy-toes to kiss his sister/cousin on the forehead.
