Penny Dreadful

Liked the ending

Sorry as I went to make a cup of tea and couldn't be arsed to rewind, was Dalton's daughter possessing Eva Green and confirming she was dead/a vampire?

Got to admit at times I couldn't understand a word Billie Piper was saying. I think she was attempting a Northern Irish accent.

I'm quite enjoying the series so far though

Timothy Dalton is clearly in league with the devil, the man is 70!

70? st he must be worshipping an Egyptian God! He is in fine fettle, save for the little paunch, which I thought was false, but if he's 70 I'll allow it!

I believe so. Not wholly sure if it was one or two possessions. Amenhotep was mentioned?

After the séance (which had us both heading for the back of the sofa), we settled down for the last 5 minutes; expecting some gentle interplay between Frankenstein and his creation - the latter being a character we were looking forward to seeing develop as he slowly rediscovered his humanity.

Then 'that' happens

There were many Amenhotep's in ancient Egypt, Pharaohs, Princes and High Priests but I think this could be about Pharaoh Amenhotep I around which a cult developed and he was raised to the status of a god after his death.

She must have had training from the Sons of Anarchy Irish episodes

Must admit, I couldn't understand a word she said either

I'm on the band wagon now. I'm enjoying this show. It's darker than Supernatural and appeals quite a lot because Eva Green is in it.

Really enjoying this so far. Had to explain to the wife that Frankenstein is the Doctor not the monster.

Eva Green was superb last night.I take it Dorian Grey is Dracula right?

[Halb]

No. Dorian Grey is an immortal sociopath.
His longevity comes from a blessed painting.

Ah yes I remember now.

we need to meet Jekyll and Hyde at some point!

[KareemK]

That must be coming because we've already met most of the League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen already.

Nemo, Quatermain, Griffin, Harker?

bille piper should not be allowed to do accents. ever.
her butchering of an irish accent is a criminal offence.

the seance scene certainly caught me by suprise. a full on 5 mins of open mouthed suprise - made me realise that the whole series will be very adult orientated, which is a good thing!

genuinley sad with what happened to Mr P - i have a feeling that "no 1" is going to be a bit of a handful for Frankenstein.

Sir Malcolm Murray (Dalton) called his daughter Mina, so she's Mina Murray, pre-Harker marriage.

Yep, I posted I couldn't understand a word she said, but I could understand Brad Pitt in Snatch.

Yep, just as I was getting used to Mr Proteus (monster MKII as it turns out) and appreciating a slant on the usual Frankenstein/ Monster tale where we see the monster developing into a reasoned, gentle, normal human-like character; out of the woodwork (literally in this case) appears the first evil Frankenstien monster (Mark I) to cause mayhem.

Excellent!

I wondered about the name 'Mina', wasn't sure. And I forgot Dalton's name.

Outstanding from Eva Green - really loving this programme.
