More of what I am watching
Still spending most of my time sewing, which is why you only get updates of what I watch. I’ll get back to bore you with other things soon, I promise. Spoilers for Penny Dreadful below, but Versailles I'm merely gushing about.
I enjoyed the second episode of Penny Dreadful. Dorian and Lily was finally back, rescuing abused girls. I very much enjoyed Lily and Victor's meeting- he really don’t see her but an image of his ideal. I’m very curious on how they will visualize Mr Hyde. The best transformation has, IMO, always been those who make use of posture, gestures and mimic rather than heavy make-up. And Hecate helped Ethan to get rid of his captors. I think she has a huge crush on him! Vanessa was, of course, wonderful.
And I did not expect that Dr Sweet was Dracula! What a surprise! I had him pegged as a sort of love interest who would be killed. I’m not often surprised by plots, but I love it when I am.
I have finished Versailles and fallen quite in love with the series. I loved the complex relationship between the king and his brother. Indeed, i feel quite fannish over the series, especially when it comes to the female doctor and the king’s head of security, Ferdinand Marchal. To such a degree that I’m finally writing again (and I know what to request for Yuletide this year). I highly recommend the series, especially if you are a fan of period dramas. Much, much better than The Tudors and Reign IMO, both of which I couldn’t stomach more than an episode each off. Oh, please, watch it so I can have someone to squee with. There will be a second season, luckily, as it ended with an awful cliffhanger.
