I think that's what's happening with Cosima, but I'm not completely sure.
The Hydra line was great.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
How much do I love the "Dyad is Hydra" line, on every conceivable level.
Seriously - when does Bill Paxton walk out on to the stage?
On an even more serious note - OMG WTF you amazing fucking show?!?!?!?
My jaw was dropped during the last fifteen minutes of the episode. Which made finishing dinner really difficult.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I heard that as "Dyad's a hydra" - the mythical creature, not a Marvel reference.
Oh Helena. You deserve more vacation.
So Dyad has Keira's baby teeth to make stem cells out of for Cosima, is that what's happening?
Yeah, that's fucked up. I mean, moreso than usual.

I'm choosing to hear it as both, because it amuses me.

What -t said. I totally got what the reference meant, but after Agents of SHIELD it was very funny on another level.
That said, having Helena turn up next season for a one-off would be hilarious.

Is anyone else watching Penny Dreadful? I'm enjoying the hell out of it, even though it nearly out-gores Hannibal.

I've seen the first two eps and am enjoying the mood and the costumes and the story, though not the gore. (SO MANY DEAD BABIES IN THE PREMIERE.)

I'm watching the third episode right now. I am not sure how I feel about it yet, though I don't mind the gore particularly.

The gore is a little much for me, and that's saying something. But I'm loving the penny dreadfulness of it, as well as the costumes and scenery.
Even Jost Hartnett is not awful!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
So, I don't care for Penny Dreadful. I'm trying to figure out what the plot of the show is. And I feel like half of the events of last night's episode should have been in the premiere.
I was really upset by the end of last week's episode. That was kind of unforgivable in my book and I'm still not over it. I think I would be more into the show if last week had ended differently.
I think the acting is really top notch, so I'm disappointed I don't like the show more than I do.
Surprisingly, I have not been bothered by the gore, so maybe I am just hardened by it all.
