It was definitely intended to run longer. They simply ended it to have to wrap it up in three seasons instead of 4 or 5.
Okay. Was it because of a lack of audience? I don't know how well it did in the ratings in any county, but seems it gone relatively noticed by a great deal of people.
I wonder if we'll ever find out why Logan chose to end Vanessa's story rather than leave the door open a possible return. Did he just think there was no chance?
I don't recall Dracula getting named in the earlier seasons. I think the implication is he is the big bad who is manipulating everything behind the scenes. Unless I'm confusing him with Satan.
Dracula and the Devil were both working behind the scenes.
I love this show and I'm still pissed at how it ended.
I love how it ended, but am gutted it ended so soon.
There was a lot more potential story :-
what next for the Creature? And Lily?
Jekyll becoming Hyde and maybe targeting Frankenstein for walking out on the experiment, and his many slights
Chandler discovering Frankenstein resurrected Bronagh*
Anything involving Hartedgen, Lyle and Seward would be pure gold
It would require Vanessa to have survived though. The whole cast was fantastic, even the guest stars (Sarah Green is a scene stealer) and extras, Eva Green was just utterly fantastic.
Is Hartedgen based on any literary characters? I have googled the question and can't find anything to say she is, but something about the character is very familiar.
* I was very surprised in Season 2 that Vanessa didn't recognise Lily as Bronagh. When Frankenstein first asked Vanessa to meet his cousin, I had expected this to lead to Chandler finding out. I avoided looking into it because I wanted to avoid spoilers season 2 and eventually that became avoiding spoilers for Season 3.
At first I thought maybe Vanessa was simply distracted by Grey, but I do recall Vanessa showing an interest in Bronagh. Was their meeting simply not enough for Vanessa recognise her weeks/months later? Ws the intention that Lily "scrubbed up" so well that she simply was not recognisable as Bronagh?
Does anyone agree, that although Jared Talbot Senior is not a good man and has his minions do bad things, Talbot Senior can hardly be blamed for having few screws loose after what happened and knowing his son played a part in it while Ethan seems to delight in the man's pain and show no remorse. Plus, he kills Rusk - yes Rusk won't stop until justice is done but there is no remorse there either and how does Sir Malcolm turn a blind eye to it? And isn't Kaetenay the one who lead the raid? Why did Ethan allow him to live all that time? This is not a criticism - I think I just need another point of view to fully understand that episode.
Can someone remind me, does Sir Malcolm (and Victor) know that Ethan is a werewolf?
Also, was Ethan being a werewolf intended to be a surprise for the audience? The slow build up to it and the eventual reveal were done very well, but it was very obvious from the start that Chander was a werewolf. Was it supposed to be obvious?
