Penny Dreadful / int_106f1a77	type	A Form You Are Comfortable With
Penny Dreadful / int_106f1a77	comment	A Form You Are Comfortable With: Lucifer first appears to Vanessa in the guise of the orderly, then as Sir Malcolm, and again as Ethan. Dracula also takes the form of the orderly the first time he and Vanessa meet. However, even his human form is a mere disguise for an unkillable, inhuman form that Catriona teases in "Ebb Tide," but ultimately goes unseen.

The most notable characters who have bitten it are Proteus, Van Helsing, Mina Murray, Gladys Murray, Angelique, Roper, Sembene, Evelyn Poole, Brona Croft (well, until she gets resurrected), Justine, and finally, Vanessa Ives herself. In the comic continuation, Malcolm Murray, Dorian Grey, Satan, and Dracula die as well.

Penny Dreadful / int_1439161f	comment	Heroic BSoD: In 'Seance,' the grief and Tranquil Fury in the aftermath of Vanessa's multiple possessions leaves Sir Malcolm sitting melancholically at the table, even after others have left. Frankenstein has one when Caliban rips Proteus apart, covered in blood and unable to move. He has another one when Caliban snaps Van Helsing's neck. Ethan, Malcolm, and Victor all have one long, extended one throughout the week they spend trying to care for the possessed Vanessa, unsure if she'll survive. Vanessa has one in "Fresh Hell" when the witches attack her and Ethan. We eventually learn that Vanessa has prior experience with this coven and is terrified they'll kill her at last. Malcolm hits another one in "And They Were Enemies" when he discovers Sembene's body and later mourns the loss of his companion deeply.

Vanessa, however, restrains her powers long enough for the man she loves (who is part wolf) to get close enough to kill her. Yeah, it's basically X-Men: The Last Stand.

It’s not even restricted to Victorian England as America and Northern Africa are depicted as possessing more or less the same qualities in Season 3. The closest thing the series has to an actual, on-the-ground force for Heaven is the Lupus Dei, a werewolf who butchers innocent men, women, and children. It makes the presence of decent or (self-improving) characters all the more poignant.

Penny Dreadful / int_259d5879	comment	Anachronism Stew: Much of the clothing in the series shows too much skin for the 1890s, especially the clothing which Dorian Gray wears. No buttoned collar in 1890s Britain? Shame! (Though this is somewhat excused in that he holds semi-regular orgies and is millennia old...) Similarly, the fact that many of the characters go around without gloves is a fashion anachronism which is lampshaded by Gray in "Seance". Sir Malcolm's badass gun, a C96 Broomhandle, was first released in 1896. The year is 1891. (Though it is handwaved as a prototype.)

Penny Dreadful / int_26ac510e	type	Mythology Gag
Penny Dreadful / int_26ac510e	comment	Mythology Gag: Victor suggests "Adam," Mary Shelley's name for Frankenstein's Creature, as a possible name for Proteus. He quickly dismisses the idea, though. When first introduced, Victor asks Ethan what he knows of galvanism, the process of using electricity to reanimate flesh. In Shelley's novel, galvanism is the one hint to the commonly held belief that the Creature was created through lightning. It also points to the novel's early 19th-century setting; by 1891, the idea of galvanism would be roughly 100 years old, hardly cutting-edge science. Dorian Grey is introduced gazing at a portrait gallery. Sembene wields a kukri knife, Jonathan Harker's weapon of choice in Dracula. Harker himself is namedropped earlier in the fourth episode as Mina's husband. Frankenstein is a fan of Romantic literature and poetry, referencing the era Frankenstein the novel was set in. The Creature references Percy Bysshe Shelley's poetry while berating Frankenstein. Shelley, of course, was married to Frankenstein's author Mary Shelley. Victor later quotes a line of Shelley's "Adonais" to Van Helsing, also serving as a Title Drop for the episode it takes place in: "No more let Life divide what Death can join together". The little girl outside the church that Vanessa speaks to in "Demimonde" is named "Lucy", as in Lucy Westenra, Dracula's victim in the original Bram Stoker novel. Professor Abraham Van Helsing shows up later as the hematologist Sir Malcolm contracts to analyze Fenton's blood and develop a cure. He claims to know vampirism "intimately". Flashbacks show that the Creature, unlike Proteus, was "born" covered in slime on a bloody table. In Shelley's novel, the details of how the Creature was born are not shared, except that it emerged in a similar state. "Closer Than Sisters" recounts Vanessa's backstory in the form of a letter to Mina Harker. Dracula itself is comprised of dozens of letters and journal entries, most of them written and/or transcribed by Mina Harker. Vanessa's mother died of shock upon finding the possessed Vanessa having sex with an unseen demonic presence. In Dracula, Lucy Westenra's mother dies the same way when a wolf crashes through the window as part of Dracula's attack. In "Possession", the Creature quotes from Milton's Paradise Lost: "Did I request thee, Maker, from my clay to mould me Man?" This was the epigraph to Mary Shelley's original novel. Frankenstein, when showing his laboratory to Jekyll, describes it as "The House of Pain", which is also the name of the laboratory where HG Wells' Doctor Moreau turned animals into freakish experiments. The orderly reads the poem "My Shadow" to Vanessa in the asylum. Its author, Robert Louis Stevenson, was also the author of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Ethan is quite literally An American Werewolf in London. Also, his real name is revealed to be Ethan Lawrence Talbot, as in Larry Talbot from The Wolf Man (1941).

Not to mention that he feels up a corpse's breasts in "Fresh Hell." Dorian Gray is turned on by tuberculosis. We should expect no less. Vanessa really wants to do the right thing, but the devil's promise to make her the Mother of Evil and destroy the world turns her on anyway. Evelyn Poole is very excited about skulls, blood, scarification, blood baths, child murder, and BDSM. Any other person, were they let in on Victor's little hobby of resurrecting the dead, would be varying levels of shocked, appalled and terrified. Jekyll's reaction in "The Day Tennyson Died" is basically "So it worked? Sweet," although he did have the advantage of knowing about Victor's ambitions for years beforehand.

As of his werewolf reveal, it's likely he's been forced to kill in the past and considers working as muscle-for-hire to be a pragmatic gain. Said "sins" include the massacres of Apache women and children, and the unwitting murder of his entire family, save his father.

Victor Frankenstein and his Creature, from Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. Dr. Jekyll, from Robert Louis Stevenson's The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Mina Murray, Dr. Seward, Renfield, and Van Helsing from Bram Stoker's Dracula, and, in Season 3, Dracula himself. Jonathan Harker is mentioned by name, but never appears in the show. He appears in the prequel comic, however. Justine, from the novel by the same name by the Marquis de Sade.

Penny Dreadful / int_40c57041	type	Manipulative Bastard
Penny Dreadful / int_40c57041	comment	Manipulative Bastard: Sir Malcolm. He pressured Peter into having sex with prostitutes to suit Victorian ideas of masculinity, doesn't tell Vanessa about Lyle's interpretation of the prophecy until it's too late, and apparently wants Vanessa's demon to keep her on the brink of death until she contacts Mina's spirit. Evelyn's manipulation of the people of Devon in "The Nightcomers" to rouse them against the Cut-Wife rates as this, though she takes a level in "Above the Vaulted Sky" when she drives Gladys Murray insane, sending her visions of her dead children rising from their graves, so that Gladys will kill herself and Evelyn can have Malcolm all to herself. Of course, her prior manipulations of Lyle and Malcolm were pretty big hints at what she could do. Dracula, in the guise of the innocuous Dr. Alexander Sweet, fully seduces Vanessa to the dark. Even after she breaks up with him out of fear for his safety, she returns to him in "No Beast So Fierce" and practically confesses that she's in love with him before they consummate their relationship on the museum floor. Only a few days later, Vanessa surrenders to Dracula and becomes his queen, the Mother of Evil. He is the only villain in the series to actually win, albeit for a short period of time.

Vanessa — or the demonic entity possessing Vanessa — don’t take kindly to the Egyptian goddess Kali calls up, and hijack the seance. Vanessa is also taken over by Peter Murray, who has a scathing condemnation of his father which involves his abandonment of him to go exploring in Africa, and his illicit sexual relationship with Vanessa's mother.

In "Possession", she claims to "go away" and not remember her experiences at such times. Played with when it comes to Brona/Lily.

Dorian, meanwhile, looks to be striking up an interesting new relationship with Angelique, a transgender prostitute.

Penny Dreadful / int_56515a39	type	Artistic License â€“ History
Penny Dreadful / int_56515a39	comment	Artistic License – History: Catriona Hartdegen mentions that Dracula pitted two great empires against each other in the 13th century, the Ottomans and the Holy Roman Empire. The Ottoman empire was founded in 1299, so it barely existed in the 13th century, and only became a big entity a few decades later. Dorian Gray boasts a haircut that would be far more suited to the 2010s than 1891, as well as sporting plenty of open-necked jewel tone shirts. Possibly justified, since Dorian is always trying to provoke London society in various ways due to his boredom. Sir Malcolm still seems interested in locating the source of the Nile, which was actually identified back in 1875. Lampshaded with Dorian's notice of Vanessa's frequent lack of gloves, in a society where it was required for both men and women to wear them in public. The actual Théâtre du Grand-Guignol opened in 1894, but its shift towards gory horror plays began after 1898. The Grand Guignol was also located in Paris, not London. However, its inclusion unarguably fits the feel of the show. The chyron for Malcolm's October 1892 trip to Africa claims he's in "German East Africa - Zanzibar". Germany ceded Zanzibar to the British as a protectorate in 1890. Jekyll works at the Bethlem Royal Hospital, more notoriously known as 'Bedlam', with patients being beaten and restrained galore. However, while this was unfortunately true of the hospital up to the first half of the nineteenth century, by the 1890s the hospital had been reformed into a place fit for the fragile middle classes, and all the violently criminal patients were packed off to Broadmoor in the 1860s.

They are always seen naked. These vampires apparently lead lesser vampires, who are mostly human but must consume meat and blood. If the leader dies, its lesser vampires flee. Vampires can be killed with simple bullets, knives, and other weapons. There exists at least one Master Vampire that holds dominion over the leader and lesser vampires, who is revealed in "Memento Mori" to be a Fallen Angel and brother to Lucifer himself.

Penny Dreadful / int_6b2b3b59	comment	The Reveal: Malcolm is Sir Malcolm Murray, father of Mina Murray from Dracula. There is more than one "leader" vampire. The Murray reveal means that it's likely Dracula. Proteus is not the first Creature Frankenstein has created. The season 1 finale reveals that Ethan is a werewolf which, together with the glimpses of mutilation-victims during his flashback montage from "Demimonde," confirms that he was responsible for the dismemberment killings in episodes 1 and 2. "Memento Mori" has several: Lily remembers her former life as Brona, knows exactly what she is now, and is far more ambitious and spiteful in her villainy than Caliban. The Verbis Diablo fragments reveal that both Lucifer and the vampire Master are fallen angels, estranged brothers competing to possess the "Mother of Evil", i.e. Vanessa. Dorian Gray's portrait is finally shown, and it's bound by chains, possibly because it can move. Dr. Alexander Sweet, the kind and somewhat eccentric zoologist in whom Vanessa has taken romantic interest, is actually Dracula. Dracula is "the Master" referred to by the vampires, and he's also Lucifer's brother.

Penny Dreadful / int_6bd689ca	comment	Meaningful Echo: Three in "Closer than Sisters": "Something spoke. I listened." Explanation When Vanessa first spies on her mother and Malcolm having sex in the hedge maze, it's also the first time she feels the demonic presence that will later possess her. Later, when she's nearly-catatonic after the trepanation and institutionalization, she is visited by the same demon, in the form of Sir Malcolm. She murmurs that something spoke to her all those years ago, and the demon points out that yes, he spoke, but she made the choice to listen. "You have to name a thing to bring it to life." Explanation While working in the taxidermy room with Peter and Mina, young Vanessa claims this is why she names all the animals she stuffs. Later, when she and Captain Branson are in the room late at night, she repeats this to him. Finally, when Vanessa is visited by the demon in Sir Malcolm's form, she asks him if she should name him. He answers "only if you want me to live", reminding her of those words. "The mirrors behind the glass eyes." Explanation In the scene where Vanessa lures a drunken Captain Branson to the taxidermy room, she tells him she put mirrors behind the hawk's eyes so it wouldn't look dull like the other animals. She seductively tells him she would do this for the entire world, which is when he overpowers her and they begin having sex on the table, to be discovered by Mina. When the demon appears in Sir Malcolm's form, he begins to seduce her by reminding her she's always been drawn to dark things, "the mirrors behind the glass eyes". In "Memento Mori", Evelyn confesses to Malcolm that she has become cold and lonely in her immortality, and asks him to "walk with [her]", i.e. stay with her forever. In "And They Were Enemies", Vanessa makes the same plea to Ethan to "walk with [her]", i.e. stop running from his past. Both Sembene and Kaetenay admonish Sir Malcolm to "Know who you are." Malcolm's assertion to Inspector Galway in "Seance" in regards to the Spitalfields murders, "You need to stop hunting for a man and start hunting for a beast", is recalled by Inspector Rusk in "Memento Mori" as proof that Malcolm knows Ethan is something supernatural and committed the murders. "Good and Evil Braided Be" has Vanessa using her powers to read Doctor Seward, asking her "shall we walk together?", which was Malcolm's offer to her in "Closer Than Sisters" when Vanessa first came to live with him at Grandage Place. Hecate offers a callback to Malcolm and Vanessa in "Closer than Sisters" as well, discussing violence that "stretches corpses from here to the horizon". In "No Beast So Fierce," Victor shares an exchange with Lily quite like the one Malcolm shares with Gladys in "Fresh Hell": Dr. Alexander Sweet tells Vanessa that he "[loves her] for who [she] is, not who the world wants [her] to be" in "No Beast So Fierce." Coincidentally (or not) enough, Dracula says the same thing to Vanessa in "A Blade of Grass." Dracula and Vanessa's conversation in "Ebb Tide" calls back to Vanessa's first conversation with Dr. Sweet in "The Day Tennyson Died" when he confesses his love for "all the broken and shunned creatures." Vanessa's first meeting with Dr. Sweet in turn recalls "Above the Vaulted Sky", in which Caliban/John Clare talks with Vanessa about sharing his name with the dead poet John Clare.

Penny Dreadful / int_6bda9a30	type	Meaningful Name
Penny Dreadful / int_6bda9a30	comment	Meaningful Name: 'Miss Ives' can be read as 'missives', an archaic term for messages. Vanessa is possessed, and frequently conveys prophecies and missives from another world. Brona lampshades hers — it's Irish for “sadness”. Her new name after her resurrection, Lily, also counts as one. Madame Kali has a particularly interesting name for a spiritualist; Kali is a Hindu goddess associated with destruction and change. Her given name, Evelyn, is of French origin, ironically meaning "life" or "beauty", but when you consider what her particular gift from her Master was... Considering that she named her daughter Hecate Aphrodite, "Kali" could also come from Greek "kalos", meaning "beautiful". note "kali" is one possible form of this adjective, as in "Kalipygia", a title given to Aphrodite Proteus is, of course, the name of one of the titular "Two Gentlemen of Verona" (the more cowardly and naive one, it should be noted), but it is also the name of a sea-god of Greek mythology, fitting for a former man of the sea. The Creature, Frankenstein's first creation is named Caliban by the theatre director who takes him in — a character who, in The Tempest, is depicted as a misshapen monster. Evelyn's daughter Hecate is, of course, a witch. The Cut-Wife meets the same fate as her namesake. Inspector Rusk's name is very similar to that of George Aken Lusk, head of the Whitechapel Vigilance Committee. The Real Life Lusk led a neighborhood-watch group during Jack the Ripper's murder spree; it was to him that the infamous "From hell" letter was addressed. Dracula means "son of the dragon" or "son of the devil." Ironically, his fake name — Dr. Alexander Sweet — is the exact opposite of his true personality. Kaetenay may be more of a badass than we even know. There was a historical Kaetenay who served as one of Geronimo's lieutenants.

Then he propositions her, because "I've never fucked a dying creature before." It also establishes that he is strangely charming, greeting his prostitute/model as "Miss Croft," thanking her for attending, and inspiring real (if puzzled) reciprocal attraction during their encounter. Vanessa's is her Sherlock Scan of Ethan in the bar, showing her mysteriousness, intelligence, perceptiveness, and blunt nature. Malcolm is introduced in the opium den as a man on a mission (to save his daughter) who cares very little for anyone and everyone in his way.

Malcolm abandoned his family for most of his life, "waded through blood with every step" and raped his way across the Congo during his adventures in Africa, and winds up killing his own daughter, who has become The Dragon for a vampire. He has never been happily married, and when he finally falls in love with a woman, she turns out to be an evil, Satan-worshipping witch using him as bait for Vanessa. Ethan struggles to keep ahead of the consequences of his lycanthropy, meaning that he needs to constantly move from place to place even though he experiences strong attachments to people he's barely met. He also has a very dark past: an abusive father, a stint as an American cavalry officer who participated in the genocide of Apaches, and finally, a botched raid on his father's ranch that got his brother stabbed to death, his mother scalped, and his younger sister's eyes gouged out. Dorian has become so bored with life that he unsuccessfully tries to stimulate emotion with rat-baiting and orgies. He murders Angelique for discovering his portrait, despite her acceptance of his immortality. Brona was an abused wife who turned to prostitution and can't accept love from the only person who cares about her. She is then suffocated by Victor, reanimated by him, and intended to be a "bride" for Caliban. Small wonder she violently rebels against both of them, teaming up with Dorian, whom she feels is more worthy of her. Victor is a morphine addict who abandoned his first Creature. He's extremely antisocial, but also so punishingly lonely and starved for romance that he'll fondle a corpse intended for Caliban, wistfully yearning for a mate of his own. The Creature is obsessed with being "given" his own bride, and doesn't draw much of a distinction between stalking and affection. He frequently kills people simply to send messages to Victor.

Penny Dreadful / int_8797239c	comment	Bait-and-Switch: Throughout the first two episodes, one is led to believe that Proteus is Frankenstein's first attempt at bringing the dead to life. We discover at the conclusion of "Seance" that he's actually his second attempt, but arguably his first true success, as his first creation is a murderous and bitter man. "Seance" gave the initial impression that Peter died as a young teen, not a grown man, because Vanessa's vocal pitch makes him sound very young. It also gives off the impression that it's Mina whom young Vanessa saw Sir Malcolm having sex with, not Vanessa's mother. The beginning of "Demimonde" shows Vanessa and Dorian flirting, but he winds up sharing an intimate moment with Ethan instead in the end. It's repeatedly hinted that the Bride that the Creature is considering is the actress at the Grand Guignol. The Season 1 finale then reveals a recently-suffocated Brona as Victor's choice. The promos for season 2's first episode had fans thinking that the scarred, naked female figure seen charging down a hallway was a reanimated Brona. It's actually one of the witches. In "Evil Spirits in Heavenly Places", Victor invites Vanessa to tea with Lily, unaware that Vanessa had already met Brona and was aware that she had died. It was assumed that Vanessa would recognise Lily in the next episode, but come the meeting over tea and Vanessa doesn't seem to recognise her at all.

Penny Dreadful / int_8e20979	comment	Wham Episode: Every episode has an amazing moment or reveal that would, in any other series, be a Wham Episode. Here are the standouts. "Seance", for the spectacular set-piece that is Vanessa Ives being possessed by four separate entities at Lyle's seance, and giving the world's most hellacious Calling the Old Man Out speech to Malcolm. Then, if that's not enough, Victor takes Proteus out for a day in the real world, they return home, only for Caliban to make his grand entrance, tear Proteus apart at his seams, and announce himself as Victor's firstborn. "Grand Guignol". Malcolm shoots a vampiric Mina in the head rather than allow Vanessa to be harmed, Ethan is revealed to be a werewolf, and Victor euthanizes Brona and plans to turn her into Caliban's Bride. "And Hell Itself My Only Foe". Vanessa goes to meet Evelyn alone and discovers the voodoo doll Evelyn made can talk. Victor hallucinates all three of his creations returning to him. Hecate aligns herself with Ethan and propositions him to be his most devoted follower. During the invasion of Evelyn's castle, Ethan wolfs out and Sembene sacrifices himself to the werewolf so that the rest might survive. "The Day Tennyson Died". The group has scattered to the four winds, with Malcolm encountering an old ally of Ethan's in Zanzibar, Caliban avoiding cannibalism in the Arctic, Victor calling on his old school friend, Dr. Jekyll, Ethan being kidnapped by allies of his father's, and Vanessa suffering a deep depression in London, seeking treatment from a woman who may certainly be a descendant of the Cut-Wife, but is also Doctor Seward from Dracula. The episode ends with Seward's assistant — a man named Renfield — encountering the infamous Dracula himself.

The bounty hunters chasing Ethan in "Grand Guignol" really are asking for it when he turns into a werewolf and mauls them, killing one and horribly disfiguring the other. Sir Geoffrey in "Little Scorpion" deserves what he gets — being torn to pieces by his own hounds — for attempting to rape Vanessa, branding her, and burning Joan alive.

Penny Dreadful / int_90b66e22	comment	Femme Fatale: Vanessa subverts the trope. Although she initially appears as a mysterious, black-lace-clad woman hiring a gunslinger, she doesn't use sex to manipulate and has more agency than most Femmes Fatales. Evelyn Poole is definitely one of these. She's a mysterious widow who wears a fascinator, has a scandalous job as a spiritualist, an affinity for guns, and oh yes, she's a Satan-worshipping witch. She uses her feminine charms (and her Compelling Voice) to manipulate Malcolm. Evelyn's daughter Hecate is one, with varying degrees of success, considering she's sent by her mother to occupy Ethan while they target Vanessa, doesn't actually succeed in doing anything but making Ethan more suspicious, and offers to team up with him if he'll ally with the witches. She has more luck in season three, when she and Ethan are thrown together on a trek through the New Mexico desert. She actually does manage to manipulate Ethan into allying with Lucifer this time, if only until she dies.

Victor plans to enact this trope on Lily, but when she pleads to be allowed to remember her daughter as Brona, because despite how traumatic the memory is losing someone she loves so much would be even worse, he realizes that to erase a person's bad memories is to erase part of who they are, and doesn't go through with it.

It's hummed by Malcolm the morning after he and Evelyn have sex while he is firmly under her mind control in "Glorious Horrors". Finally, in "And They Were Enemies", a very serene Hecate Poole sings it as she liberates her mother's spellbook and tools, and torches the castle, burning her mother's body and all inside it. Caliban sings a bit of "All Through the Night" right before he snaps a young boy's neck to keep him from freezing to death.

"This World Is Our Hell" focuses on the New Mexico storyline, with Ethan revealing his backstory to Hecate, Malcolm and Kaetenay bonding, Rusk tracking Ethan, and our first glimpse of Jared Talbot, Ethan's father.

Penny Dreadful / int_9f63d4f1	comment	Our Vampires Are Different: The more powerful vampires' hide consists of an exoskeleton of sorts, with skin underneath that's covered in Egyptian hieroglyphics which possibly translate as "the blood curse". They are always seen naked. These vampires apparently lead lesser vampires, who are mostly human but must consume meat and blood. If the leader dies, its lesser vampires flee. Vampires can be killed with simple bullets, knives, and other weapons. There exists at least one Master Vampire that holds dominion over the leader and lesser vampires, who is revealed in "Memento Mori" to be a Fallen Angel and brother to Lucifer himself. The vampires are also more bestial than vampires from other fiction. With the exception of their progenitor Dracula, master vampires have mentally degenerated to little more than feral animals with limited intelligence who cannot speak. That, along with their physical changes, prevents them from passing as humans. Lesser vampires or familiars are hardly better, since their combination of pale skin and animal instincts makes them stand out and limits their ability to pass as human.

By the time he gets home, he's genuinely overjoyed at the prospect of making friends. And then Frankenstein's first creation emerges from a dark stairwell immediately behind Proteus, murders him by punching straight through him, then ripping him in half, and stands over his horrified creator with a cold Death Glare. The Creature is great at this, as he also dispatches Van Helsing with a snapped neck after the kindly professor bonds with Victor and tells him that he wishes him a long life. In "Above the Vaulted Sky", the various scenes of Dorian/Angelique and Evelyn/Malcolm having sex, as well as Ethan/Vanessa's intense flirtation, are horrifying when cut with the scenes of Gladys Murray being haunted by visions of her dead children, then slitting her own throat.

His training as a surgeon, requiring steady hands and solid nerves, probably helps. Averted with Malcolm's new automatic pistol (a C96 Broomhandle) in "Grand Guignol" — it's so new that virtually no one has experience with it, and his first attempts with the thing ricochet everywhere. He eventually figures it out. Played straight again with Vanessa in "Little Scorpion" when Ethan teaches her to shoot. It's even acknowledged she's naturally good at this, which Ethan doesn't find surprising.

Penny Dreadful / int_a6cda066	comment	Three in "Closer than Sisters": "Something spoke. I listened." Explanation When Vanessa first spies on her mother and Malcolm having sex in the hedge maze, it's also the first time she feels the demonic presence that will later possess her. Later, when she's nearly-catatonic after the trepanation and institutionalization, she is visited by the same demon, in the form of Sir Malcolm. She murmurs that something spoke to her all those years ago, and the demon points out that yes, he spoke, but she made the choice to listen. "You have to name a thing to bring it to life." Explanation While working in the taxidermy room with Peter and Mina, young Vanessa claims this is why she names all the animals she stuffs. Later, when she and Captain Branson are in the room late at night, she repeats this to him. Finally, when Vanessa is visited by the demon in Sir Malcolm's form, she asks him if she should name him. He answers "only if you want me to live", reminding her of those words. "The mirrors behind the glass eyes." Explanation In the scene where Vanessa lures a drunken Captain Branson to the taxidermy room, she tells him she put mirrors behind the hawk's eyes so it wouldn't look dull like the other animals. She seductively tells him she would do this for the entire world, which is when he overpowers her and they begin having sex on the table, to be discovered by Mina. When the demon appears in Sir Malcolm's form, he begins to seduce her by reminding her she's always been drawn to dark things, "the mirrors behind the glass eyes".

Penny Dreadful / int_ad9fbc1e	comment	Pyrrhic Victory: Every major victory earned by the heroes comes out looking like one of these. In season 1, the heroes find the major vampire nest in London, killing its inhabitants and severing the Master's leverage over Vanessa and Sir Malcolm by killing the treacherous Mina... but Sir Malcolm is now responsible for the deaths of both of his children, meaning his family line is now destined to expire into nothingness. And the demon that possessed Vanessa, whilst weakened, is still implied to exist somewhere within her. In season 2, the heroes manage to rescue Sir Malcolm from Evelyn Poole and her coven, and Vanessa staves off Satan himself, but Sembene is killed by Ethan in his werewolf form. A heartbroken Sir Malcolm leaves London to bury Sembene back in Africa, a guilt-ridden Ethan turns himself in to Inspector Rusk at Scotland Yard, breaking Vanessa's heart in the process, and Vanessa herself is left alone at Grandage Place to suffer onwards in fear and doubt. In season 3, the apocalypse is averted. While Dracula is not killed, his hold over the world is defeated, and Ethan, Malcolm, Victor, Catriona, and Seward survive. Vanessa, unfortunately, does not, persuading Ethan to kill her in order to defeat Dracula. Both sources of evil (Dracula and Lucifer), as well as their disciples, are left to wait until the reincarnation of Amunet, and then the whole cycle will begin again.

In "Grand Guignol", Victor takes a level in amorality when he murders the dying Brona and intends to use her body to create a Bride for his Creature. It might have been less sketchy if he used Brona's body after she died of natural causes, never mind that he lied to Ethan about it.

Sir Malcolm put himself ahead of his family, cheated on his wife, and admits to not caring who suffers from his actions if it means achieving his goals. He also spent untold years committing rape, genocide, and who-knows-what else in Africa, allowing his son to die along the way. Ethan seems to be a friendly sort, but it's revealed that he's a werewolf who's responsible for a rash of murders around London. He's also fleeing some bloody business in America: he took part in at least one genocidal attack during the Indian Wars, and in his guilt he later sided with the Apache and planned the reprisal attack that led to his brother, mother, and sister's death.. Victor Frankenstein is a junkie who abandoned his first creation and made no attempt to rediscover him. He also murders a woman to create a "bride" for Caliban, resurrects her, and then becomes extremely desirous of her. Vanessa seduced the fiancé of her best friend after allowing herself to become possessed by a demon. Caliban kills two innocent people to punish Frankenstein. He also assaults a woman who spurns his advances. Dorian Grey is a jaded pleasure seeker, though an Adaptation Personality Change keeps him more sympathetic than his book version. At least, until he murders Angelique to protect his secret. Sembene reveals in Season 2 that he was previously a slave trader, and was scarred to mark his sins.

Penny Dreadful / int_bf5fc089	comment	Tarot Motifs: Vanessa, as a fortuneteller, is adept at reading tarot. Notably, the show subverts expectations twice in only the first episode — Vanessa lays the cards out in a traditional Celtic Cross pattern, not a 3-card Past/Present/Future spread, and the card that Ethan draws is from the crown position (the guiding forces upon the situation), and it's The Lovers. Vanessa does another reading in "What Death Can Join Together", presumably for herself. It is a 3-card Past/Present/Future, though we only see the first two cards. The Past card is the Five of Cups, meaning near-total loss and grief, ignorance of important things one still has (alluding to the rift between the Murrays and Iveses, but that Mina is still alive). The Present card is The Moon, symbolizing unknown forces working against the questioner, darkness and magic (alluding to Malcolm and the plague ship, and Vanessa and whatever Dorian did to invoke the possession). Victor turns over one of the cards in "Possession". It is, of course, the Death card — referring to Vanessa being near-death from the possession and the great, sweeping change that the entire ordeal will effect on everyone in the house. The Cut-Wife teaches Vanessa how to read tarot in "The Nightcomers", and Vanessa draws the Devil card. There is a point made that it's not simply evil, it's "the whisper of a dark lover, or something frightening inside yourself", a Call-Back to Vanessa's ordeal with the possession and the asylum.

Penny Dreadful / int_c6fc2c83	comment	Plot Threads: The series has a lot of these. To wit: Vanessa and Malcolm are searching for a) Mina and b) a cure for vampirism. Vanessa also appears to be the host vessel for the ancient Egyptian goddess Amunet, who is searching for her mate Amun Ra with potentially world-shattering consequences, while at the same time also being possessed by something else which claims to be "much older" than Amunet. Victor makes (and copes with) his various creations, and is being forced to make a bride for his original Creature. Dorian Gray develops an interest in both Vanessa and Ethan, and has a very large, very mysterious portrait in his home. Ethan and Brona form a relationship while having to cope with the fact that she's dying. Ethan's influential father seeks to persuade or force him to return to the States, where he's a suspect in an unknown number of bloody crimes. On top of everything else, someone or something is going around London by night, messily murdering defenseless people. The season 1 finale makes it a virtual certainty that it's Ethan, who is a Wolf Man, and in season two, Scotland Yard is put on the trail of the killings...

Penny Dreadful / int_c75df49a	type	Shout-Out
Penny Dreadful / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: An unmoving Vanessa in the crowd at Ethan’s shooting exhibition is one to Strangers on a Train. An advertisement drops the name of Doctor Jekyll. He shows up in season three. Additionally, Evelyn's surname of "Poole" belongs to Doctor Jekyll's manservant in the novel, although when Jekyll shows up it seems they're completely unconnected — he doesn't even have a manservant at all. Vanessa’s Sherlock Scan of Ethan is nearly note-for-note the same cool assessment Eva Green as Vesper Lynd gave to James Bond in Casino Royale (2006). The appearance of the leader vampire, with its lithe body, clawed fingers, and long middle teeth, seems to invoke Count Orlok. The demonic entity possessing Vanessa, appearing in the guise of Sir Malcolm, quotes John Keats's "Ode to a Nightingale". While explaining vampires to Doctor Frankenstein, Van Helsing shows him a copy of Varney the Vampire, an actual penny dreadful. The resurrected Brona, who's betrothed to Frankenstein's Creature, is given the name Lily. Fitting, since Lily has the Bride's iconic white-streaked hair. The Cut-Wife of Ballantree Moor, a very powerful white witch, quotes another famous witch: "By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes." Inspector Bartholomew Rusk, the Sympathetic Inspector Antagonist, has a wooden arm. This is inspired by Inspector Krogh in Son of Frankenstein, the third of the Universal Frankenstein films, though thanks to Parody Displacement the concept may be more familiar to modern viewers via the parody Young Frankenstein (via Inspector Kemp). The main difference is that Rusk lost his arm in the Transvaal, not to a monster. Ethan's real full name is Ethan Lawrence Talbot, referring to the iconic Universal Horror werewolf Lawrence Talbot. In the Season 2 finale, the Creature is seen on a boat in an arctic locale — a clear allusion to Frankenstein, which is framed by a journey to the North Pole. Malcolm paraphrases Alexander the Great (a quote attributed to Plutarch, but also from Die Hard) in "The Day Tennyson Died", having "no new worlds to conquer". Lily quotes Louis St. Just to Justine and Dorian: "Liberty is a bitch who must be bedded on a mattress of corpses."

This improves somewhat in season three, where there are not one but two non-white characters in the main cast, namely Kaetenay and Henry Jekyll. All other characters of color in the show are either background extras or play extremely minor roles. It is justified, however, by the show largely being set in elite parts of Victorian English society, which would realistically be about 100% white.

Penny Dreadful / int_e90f5682	type	But Not Too Gay
Penny Dreadful / int_e90f5682	comment	But Not Too Gay: While the show depicts several heterosexual couplings and (briefly) one between women, the encounter between Dorian and Ethan Chandler gets a sexy discretion shot. In fairness, this may be to to avoid a minor Reveal in an a later episode, when possessed!Vanessa asks, "Did you fuck him, or did he fuck you? He fucked you, didn't he?" Even still, that potential excuse is incredibly flimsy.

The only corporeal supernaturals who are Immune to Bullets are the immortals, like Dorian and Frankenstein's creations, and Dracula, who simply dodges them.

Penny Dreadful / int_f3626b09	comment	Mercy Kill: Arguably the case when Victor smothers Brona, but since he lies about it and then takes the body to make the Creature's Bride, it's more morally ambiguous. Just to add an extra bit of spice, if he hadn't, Victor and Brona would have presumably both been on the premises when night fell and Ethan perpetrated the Mariner's Inn Massacre — his Wolf-Man form can certainly climb stairs. While the ship carrying him to the North Pole is stranded on frozen wasteland, Caliban snaps the neck of a young boy who is slowly dying from the cold.

Penny Dreadful / int_ffad4e9f	type	Shown Their Work
Penny Dreadful / int_ffad4e9f	comment	Shown Their Work: Much of the show is very faithful to the time period it depicts and the stories it’s referencing. The carrion beetles cleaning a skull in Mr. Lyle’s office is an actual technique utilized to clean bones by many museums. Throughout the series, adult Vanessa is always dressed in black, dark blue or red, and purple — Victorian mourning and half-mourning colors. This is because her mother is dead, and her beloved friend Mina is presumed dead. This is referenced again in "Grand Guignol" when, after Malcolm kills Mina, both Malcolm and Vanessa are seen in traditional mourning clothing. Yes, the acting in the Grand Guignol is rather hammy and over the top, but that was precisely how performances of this sort were staged back in the day. Apart from anything else, they needed to make sure the people sitting at the back of the theatre got their money's worth. Vanessa's treatment in the asylum, while horrifying, is also completely accurate for how mental patients were treated in this period of history. Several variants of Sembene's ritual scars appear in behind-the-scenes clips about the show's makeup effects, all of them culturally appropriate for a traditional Senegalese native of the era. Some fans criticized the show for depicting Dracula as a Daywalking Vampire, but he is indeed a daywalker in the original novel. In addition, Dracula's human form matches that of his book counterpart almost exactly, with a lanky frame, dark hair, angular features, a mustache, and a beard. However, this iteration of Dracula does have a reflection and a shadow, and he lacks the deathly pale complexion of his literary counterpart.
