The Penny Dreadful Comic Con liveblog. Some interesting tidbits:
- Initially the creator just wanted to do a Frankenstein show, but later added the other stories. This is probably why the plot feels a little disjointed at times.
- Van Helsing was killed off quickly to prove that the writers wouldn't be slaves to the original text, so to speak.
- In season 2 we'll learn more about whether Vanessa invited her possession or is a victim.
- Season 2 will feature more threatening villains. Madame Kali will be the main villain. We'll also meet another character from "Dracula".
- A scene was cut from the finale suggesting enmity between Kali and Vanessa.
- At some point we'll see Dorian's portrait.
- Ethan apparently doesn't know he's a werewolf but he'll soon learn.
- We'll probably get a backstory for Ethan, but one for Sir Malcolm and Sembene is unlikely to be seen anytime soon. Darn.
