i suspect we might get some resolution re: Dracula, as well as some stuff on where the characters like seward, kaetenay and Hyde went afterwards. I would really like some Dorian and Lily updates too. Particularly a lily-ethan reunion. Excited aboit this, and the comic art is glorious too. Edit: does make me think no season four was based on financial reasons though yes I'm not sure how much I believe logans "it was always three seasons!!" like. Feels like either he, Eva, or showtime wanted out, so he had to make it happen quickly. Regardless, I am excited to read that. Love to know what happens with everyone, and whether or not they are still wrapped up in monster-hunting stuff. Maybe they'll even tie into the prequel comic series, and they'll show what become of that girl Lucy, who got bitten. I do think Logan had a plan that didn't go too much beyond three seasons. But I think he started season three on the assumption it would get renewed, and then it didn't, so he had to continue with the material he already had and cut things short. A few more episodes could have concluded things more soundly for the likes of Hyde, and given more time for Vanessa falling to darkness and being Mother of Evil (omg, hilarious, Mother of Evil tried to autocorrect to Mother of Advil and now I can't focus it's too funny )

But yes I agree. I'm not sure what the circumstances were, but I believe the show ended earlier than they intended. I've said, if there was a fourth season, S3 should have ended with "I accept myself" and season four would be Vanessa being evil before finally betraying Dracula and having Ethan kill her, etc etc. I think they could have stretched evil Vanessa before ending it the same way.

Good lord, the torture of Gladys Frankenstein and Vanessa dress shopping will always be one of the most hilarious moments on the show for me. "5 feet 5 inches exactly...I had cause to measure her." "I won't ask." "...undergarments!" "Me and my not-husband will take a look around," Speaking of Frankenstein, his twin brother is in a film coming out this month I think. I saw his face on the side of a bus. Another aspect of the show I loved that doesn't get mentioned much is the away it incorporates elements of the period it is set in - like Dorian and Angelique ( ) going to a ping pong parlour, or Angelique's comments about electrical lighting and so on. And in hindsight it should have been so obvious that Lily always remembered. During her corset talk with Victor you can see how she really feels. Sad thing is, of Victor had stayed as thoughtful and kind as he was then, putting her comfort and wants above his own...maybe she wouldn't have felt the need for her crusade. She seems genuinely grateful when she see someone that he is willing to respect her feelings, Oh and I miss Sembene more every time I rewatch this

Hey you went on Reddit, you have nobody but yourself to blame for these feelings. I am not expecting a fourth season. I think this comic series will tie up to loose ends that would have been season 4 (the central story probably being the hunt for Dracula or somesuch). Only this is obviously a cheaper more cost-effective way of doing so. Sadly the series never got the viewership it deserved (and actually started to decline )

I walked past Dorian's House today Mad Queen, aren't you jealous? (Well, it was the crescent of houses near Regent's Park, which is clearly where it is supposed to be located on the show). I'm pretty obsessed with what I would call "Lily's Theme" right now too. Basically the music which plays when she makes her big speeches, like the monologue to John Clare in 2x08, her "monumental revenge" to Justine in 3x02, "We Will Rise" in 3x07. It gets me all tingly inside. Billie Piper is actually very underrated as an actress. Even amongst the like of Patti LuPone, Helen McCrory and Eva Green she managed to leave an impression on me. The casting for PD was always well done though, even the lesser known names outdid themselves (Treadaway and Carney were probably least known I think). Also, watched 3x02 today and yet again was struck by how well incorporated the whole Victorian era society is blended in with the supernatural. Vanessa and Sweet at the Captain Nemo picture house and the sense of wonder from the crowd, the boldness of a woman asking out a gentleman...wonderfully done

No... but yeah its very interesting to see the real world stuff blend in with the supernatural. PD pulls it off unlike most other shows i've seen in the genre.

Us that entire episode I'm doing my S3 rewatch and I've just geared up so much throughout the season. I watched Vanessa say goodbye to Mr Lyle tonight and it's even sadder when you realise she never sees him again But oh Mr Lyle, aren't you fabulous? *incoming montage*

Is it wrong that in episode 7; I cheer during Lily's "Rise Up" speech and am rooting for her to succeed I laugh at Dorian's facial expression when Lily takes his champagne flute I have a bit of an inner fist bump iwhen Dorian goes dark and has his "Want to play with me kitten?" moment I cheer and am rooting for her when Lily says "No. It's for yours." When Frankenstein says she is chained for her protection. I snicker at Kaetenay's Great Fertile Bitch of Evil comment That I cheer when Vanessa embraces the darkness. I kind of ship her and Dracula because of the way the relationship built up until then and it was so good to see her accepted and loved

You started this after season three right? Which means you missed the season three promos and trailers. Damn they were good. You should go watch them on YouTube, great use of music, so very teasing on details (one of them ends with a shot of Vanessa's coffin ffs!) and allnaround brilliant for building hype. Roll on December, I want my soundtrack!
