Penny Dreadful

[Roose Bolton]

The season finale ended on a very satisfying albeit depressing note. As for the EW article with Logan, I found it to be an enjoyable read as well. Thanks. "What will be the event that will draw them back together?" Hmm. The premature ascension of the Antichrist?

Dracula's arrival?

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Also, Eva Green killed it this episode! It had to be said.

So like every episode then. t:

I loved it, thought it was fantastic. It depressed me in the right way, if that makes sense. Hecate lives to battle another day. Thank the Maker.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

That is where he ends up in the book but given Logan's affinity for the character I doubt that's the last we'll see of him. But I'm not sure how he could be reasonably brought back from such far away desolation.

Vanessa be getting them powers. Perhaps she will be able to call out to all her boys in the near future.

Dracula's arrival?

You would hope, but it might involve the other immortals.

I know it's likely not going to turn out aesthetically the same, but the whole notion Logan has presented with Satan and Dracula being rivals gives me serious Castlevania vibes....and I'm loving it t:

I am a big Lords of Shadows guy, so I am a fan of that idea too. But are Dracula and Satan rivals here? I thought they were brothers, banished to two different realms.

 

[Roose Bolton]

They're both interesting in making Vanessa their respective mother of darkness, so I assumed that they're competing for who actually gets her.We don't really know much, but that's just the assumption I'm going with.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

That makes sense. How creepy was Satan puppet Vanessa? I mean like really.

 

[Roose Bolton]

Dolls are creepy enough as it is, but when they have the devil speaking in tongues through them, that goes beyond unsettling..

 

[DarthSkywalker]

 

[Frodo]

A very good, but somber finale. I'd find it pretty hard to walk away from Eva Green, but that's just me. Can't wait till next year. I'd love to see Dracula as the next big bad, in addition to Lilly and Dorian. They'd make a pretty deadly trio.

 

[Drz]

Very good finale!

 

[ArmsHeldOut]

Dracula's arrival?

I think it was Lyle who described him as Lucifer's brother, the second fallen angel, right? Hmm. You may be right.

It does make sense. I like how the main threat was dealt with early on, allowing for us to see what the outcome meant for each remaining member of the team. It wasn't rushed, it felt satisfying to me.

As for Eva, somehow I think she managed to top herself w/ this episode. lol

 

[Marvolo]

I guess I'm alone in despising Lilly. God she rubs me the wrong way.

Fantastic finale tho.

Ethan was a fool. Vanessa was a BAMF. Caliban was Caliban. Lyle was funny yet deadly when he needed to be. Victor was a whipped little *****. Sir Malcolm had had enough of camouflaged witches.

I hope they aren't all separated for long next season. This show is better when all the players are together. When it has to deal with disconnected elements (Dorian in season one and most of two) it suffers.

It's not just you, my friend. It's not just you.

I don't care for Lily, but I think that's the point. We're not supposed to like her.

I know eh? Makes sense why Vanessa hates dolls

mmmmm I like this one. so cute

 

[kvz5]

I want an AU where Vanessa agreed to go with Caliban and they'd spend their days BROTP-ing and reading poetry together in the North Pole. I hate you, Ethan. Why you abandon my queen?!

Is this the first time Vanessa was wearing a black nightgown? Kinda feels significant since I always remember her wearing white nightgowns.

"So we walk alone"

I friggin' love that twist as well. It seems to be over now with Vanessa full on embracing herself (Amunet?) and making Lucifer her b*tch but I hope Logan still has some meat to chew on with regards to that mythology.

 

[DarknessOfDeath]

man i wanna rewatch all the episodes now if anyone wants to join me in a marathon one of these days, PM me! Or here...

 

[DarkSovereignty]

I was under the bleief that what they fought last season was Dracula?

That was what I thought too but I've read some good theories on why it's not him. Mina was still under the influence of someone even when they already killed the apparent "master" which suggests that whomever influenced Mina was still alive.

Literary possibilities

Dracula
Invisible man
Dr Jekyll - Mr Hyde
Sherlock Holmes
Phantom opera???? Prefer not
Mummy , doubt it would work. Course Vanessa represents Ammenut
Jack the Ripper or did Ethan represent that

Other literary characters?????

 

[DarknessOfDeath]

What are some good Vanessa and Ethan Quotes?? I wanna revamp my sig.

I'm very partial this one: "We are not like others. We have claws for a reason."
