Well. Meh. That finale was not good. Not good at all. In fact the whole series, whilst it had its moments, kind of fizzled out and meandered around going nowhere.
What did Ethan do, was it a mini exorcism? It obviously wasn't a full one as Vanessa was talking to the priest about it. And why didn't he help Vanessa earlier in that way?
When Malcolm spiked the demon in the theatre, why did Mina appear to have so much power still when the others girls had retreated en masse in the basement?

I'm guessing he wasn't the Vampire that turned her.
The others had been turned by him so they lost their power when he was killed.
Dracula himself will probably be in Season 2 and it will be revealed that he was the one who bit Mina.

That makes sense. It did cross my mind that we hadn't seen 'The Master' as she was still referring to him after the other vampire had been killed and the one that was killed didn't seem very master-like.
Poor Mina, Dracula is supposed to want her. A love story that spans centuries and all that.
I suspect that maybe Ethan had had exorcism performed on himself to get rid of his werewolf "demon", (maybe by his dad)? And it was a latch ditch attempt by him to try and help Vanessa.
Dodrade - the bit about Caliban and Robert Smith made me laugh - very accurate description LOL!
I cannot believe some of you are considering not watching series two, it has been nothing short of tremendous. Loved it from start to finish, amazing cast, Billie Piper was brilliant in it, i wasnt looking forward to her being in it, but she proved me wrong.

Cannot wait for the new series.
Equally I can't believe some of you are going to put themselves through season 2. It was so absolutely p!ss poor.
I am amazed at how polarizing this show is!!! There doesn't seem to be much middle ground - except even those who despair at the program all agree Eva Green was very good.

I think the show has been very interesting but the plotting was all over the place. It's like they were trying to give book like depth to a TV show. Can't be done I'm afraid. Still, looking forward to series 2.

I fully agree, Season two has a approach with caution label attached to it, for me anyway.
always been a big fan of eva green from before hollywood and wow she is so great in this. she really is on the top of her game right now with 300 penny and sin city soon.
very good show. could of done with being alonger series though. billy piper was also very good.
is eva coming back for season 2? i cant see how someone as big as her would be committed to doing full seasons on 2. one is fine like mathew mc d did with true detective but this show had no end it needs to go on. is she coming back?
Can't believe Eva Green didn't get nominated for any awards - best performance I've seen for a long time. The posession scenes gave me goosebumps and I went to bed feeling a bit spooked
I can't think of many actresses who would put themselves out there as much as that.

The show aired too late to be eligible. It aired five episodes prior to the cut off date, and a show needs to air 6 to be eligible. There is always next year, plus the golden globes in January.

LOL -I knew I should have checked my facts about that! I did wonder... thanks for explaining.

Debating whether to tune in to season two to be honest
That priest asking Vanessa if she wants to be normal is obviously going to spell trouble as well. I did like her rejecting Dorian though.
Nice to see Malcolm actually choose Vanessa when the chips were down.
Brona became Caliban's bride. Saw it coming. Bad Victor though in a way.
Ethan killing those idiots was interesting. I like the Wolfman plot with him.
I take it Madame Kali will be back for a bigger role next year, 8/10
Not going to bother with season 2.

Seems to be something like that.
This was asked previously.
My assumption is that just because he knew the words, does not mean that he knew they would work if *he* said them.
He had been going on and on about getting a priest, so obviously believed a priest was necessary.
It was only when everything went even more pear-shaped at the end that he spoke the words himself, as a last-ditch attempt out of desperation.

LOL, I hope so!
New voice box for the Bride of Franksenstein('s Monster) please...

I agree with this a lot. Whilst the other actors are very good, Eva Green is simply superb.
