HexMachina Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Since the old thread was lost. And a first official sneak of season 3 was released tonight Vanessa and Dr. Seward interesting picture. Vanessa's loss of faith looks like its going to badly shake her if thats where she ends up. Well,if nothing else it gives an opportunity for some nore phenomenal acting (see also; Closer than Sisters). Other miscellaneous casting news; Patti LuPone - Dr Seward, an American psychologist Sam Barnett - described as Seward's "mysterious" secretary Shazad Latif - Dr Henry Jekyll Wes Studi - Kaetenay, a Native American who has a close bond with Ethan, and seemingly allies with Sir Malcom Christian Camarago - Dr Alexander Sweet, a zoologist and potnetial new love interest for Vanessa Jessica Barden - Justine, an acoloyte of Lily and Dorian Brian Cox - Jared Talbot, Ethan "Chandler's" father Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Pesci Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 I'll be caught up for this soon, just finished season 1 off of your recommendation awhile back in a GoT thread. It's been a lot better than I expected, and one of the better shows I've watched lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astromech Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 That photo is so fitting for the holiday season. And poor Brian Cox routinely being cast as an asshole, however good he is at playing one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Good Guy Garlan Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 I wanted The Invisible Man, but I'll take Jekyll, I guess. And the whole Native American thing offers so many possibilities (here's hoping for a Wendigo!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martini Sigil Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 I can't help but think that the Egyptian references --especially in the first season with the book of the dead-- will eventually find its way back into the story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HexMachina Posted November 16, 2015 Author Share Posted November 16, 2015 Do we have a premiere date? Just sometime in 2016 at the moment. I'd hope sometime close to last year (which, as I remember, was the beginning of May in the UK, although I do remember it was later than originally planned) I can't help but think that the Egyptian references --especially in the first season with the book of the dead-- will eventually find its way back into the storyThey run throughout Season 2 as well, although less obviously/frequently. For example, Vanessa continues to be referred to as Amunet, even by Lucifer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Anti-Targ Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Poor Miss Ives. She is such a wreck now I wonder why the Devil is still interested in her. She's certainly no longer capable of carrying a devil's spawn to term so he might as well move on and try to find another vessel for his seed.

Just accept him and be his bride.eta: also, her being Institutionalised is not necessarily indicative of Lucifer still pursuing her. The end of last season left her in a rather vulnerable position in which it would be all too easy for her to slide into a deep depression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martini Sigil Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Random observation: Week in/week out, this show --regardless of whether one likes this type of show or not-- has the best performances on TV.... starting with the obvious --Eva Green-- the entire regular cast doesn't have a lightweight among them.... and I think that this exact show, with lesser casting would be laughably awful.... it takes a certain caliber actor to make these roles --and these circumstances-- become this level of entertainment.It's really easy to make bad shows in this genre. Which --for me-- makes this an even better watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which --for me-- makes this an even better watch.Piper was the weak link in Season 1 (though I didn't hate her Irish accent as much as some others did) but she quickly became a favourite in S2. But I completely agree, the acting in this is really superb. Evelyn Poole/Madame Kali is probably on of th best examples though. Such an OTT gothic-horror villain but portrayed so well by the wonderful Helen McCrory. So much expressed in every little scene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Channel4s-JonSnow Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Looking forward to see this, always watch it alongside GoT.I'm hoping its going to step up a gear this season. I feared it would be cancelled as I hear very little about it in general, and also I felt like season 2 had more weaknesses than strengths, in some ways a bit of a move in the wrong direction if you ask me. Too much filler and too many awkward lines. Plus.. naked vampires (eyeroll). Even terrifying voodoo dolls couldn't make up for it in my mind. Still, its got so much potential with those actors.
