Nictarion Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Funny I don't remember a scene where she is half naked, with a guy who has no desire to sleep with her. but....I don't get the reference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red snow Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 I don't get the reference? Could be the dreamers? I also think she put a spell on someone in Camelot to get her to sleep with her. Most recently there was a similar scenario in 300:rise of an empire - although I think that guy quickly got on board with the idea. So I get what Grey Wolf was going for.

aceluby Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Watched two episodes last night. It's interesting enough that I'll give it a few more episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearly Headless Ned Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Wonderfully ott performance by Eva Green! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red snow Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Wonderfully ott performance by Eva Green! She actually does OTT really well. She was the best thing in the 300 sequel by a long way. What about Josh Hartnett? I always found him a bit dull in his hollywood films but there were a couple I thought he was good in. Hopefully TV suits him.

SpaceChampion Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 What about Josh Hartnett? I always found him a bit dull in his hollywood films but there were a couple I thought he was good in. Hopefully TV suits him. He just wants good roles. Nice reveal in the 2nd episode that Spoiler Proteus wasn't the [first] Creature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slurktan Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 He just wants good roles. Nice reveal in the 2nd episode that Spoiler Proteus wasn't the [first] Creature. Or the second. Interesting that this show takes place in the midst of the events of Frankenstein and presumably after the events of Dracula. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sci-2 Posted May 15, 2014 Author Share Posted May 15, 2014 So... Did Mina's father fuck her? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Wolf Smith Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I don't get the reference? I was mistaken. I was thinking of Olga Kurylenko, the other Craig "Bond girl". She had a string of roles "Hitman" and "Max Paine" (I think there is another one) where she played basically the same character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince of the North Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I caught the debut ep because Showtime was having a free preview weekend (I'm an HBO subscriber). Now I have to try to figure out the best/easiest way to see the rest even though I don't currently subscribe to Showtime. Anybody have any good suggestions? ETA: I'm not talking about piracy or anything. I'd be willing to subscribe to something on the web or whatever as long as it wasn't too expensive. Or will everyone just watch it on Showtime?

Arataniello Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 So is the idea behind the title that you could once in foggy Londontown get a little tale for a penny that had a horror (e.g., dreadful) aspect to it? Pretty much http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penny_dreadful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eira Seren Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 I don't think it was mentioned on the show I just saw it on a review as somebody calling her Mina Harker then I checked IMDB and that's what she's listed as. Perhaps it is in that time period of Lucy's turn though. That would certainly explain why Mr Murray hasn't sent a telegraph to Van Helsing saying "Hey there's other vamps here bro". Has any one else watched episode 2 yet? They have it on demand here in Canada. I had thought it was a little strange how different the relationship between the two characters was in comparison to the novel, that certainly got explained. I'm also now 100% certain Josh Hartnett's character is a werewolf. How did I miss that? That's what I get for reading spoilers. So... Did Mina's father fuck her? so yeah . . . I got that impression, too. But first, I thought there was another child, a son? who went on an expedition with him and died. It got very confusing and I had trouble hearing it all. She said 'that's what x saw," I didn't catch the name and I confess I was a bit distracted by Eva's contortions. Guess dad's got a lot to make up for. So is the idea behind the title that you could once in foggy Londontown get a little tale for a penny that had a horror (e.g., dreadful) aspect to it? Enjoy! Also, I'm a bit miffed, I was getting rather attached to Mr. Proteus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tellus Explorer Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I haven't watched it yet, but I'm a Eva Green fan :WUB: so I'll give it a try lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paddington Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Really enjoyed the first episodes, nicely OTT. It's also always good to see Timothy Dalton on the telly as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red snow Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 He just wants good roles. Nice reveal in the 2nd episode that Spoiler Proteus wasn't the [first] Creature. Credit it to him as he could have easily kept making those crappy blockbusters he was in. Sounds like TV will suit him far better or at least help him get those rare great roles in hollywood.

Nah, when someone offers you Superman you take it :) I hope he does well too, but he's mostly being overshadowed here tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I guess he means he hasn't been offered any A-list characters he doesn't appreciate. A tough crowd when Green and Dalton are your co-stars. Given the title of the show is there any chance this will be an anthology with a different story every season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceChampion Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Yes, it is in fact another anthology series. EDIT (June 1): Well, maybe not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slurktan Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Yes, it is in fact another anthology series. Does that mean anthology in the sense of say the American Horror Stories where it's a different story but the same cast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
