The Boys of Penny Dreadful (2)

Just finished watching the first season finale of Penny Dreadful, a masterpiece of storytelling that actually dares to take its time.  (Does anyone know if that was really Dracula himself slain with Murray's sword ... why else would all those white-haired, chalk-faced vampire-harpy-women-creatures back off our manly defenders en masse?  So why didn't Mina?  And was "the master" she referred to the Count himself ... or some other, more nefarious entity?  Guess I'll just have to wait to find out ...)



I love how PD panders to the queerer of its audience; thank you again, writers and producers, for that Ethan/Dorian moment.  Now let's follow up in S2, shall we?
