THIS smurfING SHOW OH MY GOD

God, it just keeps getting better and better! Another strong episode!

I love the chemistry between Mr. Malcolm and Miss Ives.

An introduction to Mr. Dorian Grey! That was interesting. I'll admit that I first had an air of skepticism as a pretty boy. I very much like that the episode was not centered around him and that we didn't even get to see much of him save for a couple of scenes. When he met Miss Ives and started speaking to her, I found myself liking him.

That. smurfing. séance. Oh my god in heaven. The acting from Vanessa Ives in that scene is second best to Heath Ledger as The Joker. It was absolutely brilliant. She became another person, other people entirely. Her facial expressions, her mannerisms. It was all perfect. It looked completely reliant upon pure acting without relying upon weird effects like they so often do for séances (and did a little toward the end). Her bony, slim face and bug eyes and how she just kept talking and talking and talking and creeped you out just by talking. It was wonderful.

I've been wondering why Vanessa is so adamant about praying like a madwoman all the time. She seems so intellectual, so sensible, so practical, so much so what I would have mistaken her for not believing in god. From that conversation of Mr. Malcolm and Mr. Fancypants about Amunet, I am coming to believe that she knows what she is and that she attempts at devoutly praying to keep the devil away? Is that it?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO PROTEUS WHAT THE smurf HAPPENED THERE He was so wonderful! His reaction to the doctor leaving the apartment left me heartbroken. When they went outside for the first time, I was completely in love with how curious he was and how he just wanted to learn and observe everything. His touching everything, his mimicks, his wanting to say every word. I think it so accurately portrayed childlike wonder and curiosity that I know I feel as an adult. I can't even think of a word to describe it. It was just lovely.

BUT WHAT THE smurf WAS smurfING GRIMA WORMTONGUE DOING RISING LIKE A PHOENIX OUT OF THE ASHES OF PROTEUS I ALMOST CRIED ;____________________________________________________;
