Vanessa takes the wolfman for a walk.

Here is our review of Penny Dreadful season 2, episode 7.

Things become other things.

The leopard consumes the monkey and becomes leopard and monkey.

I am not becoming one of your menagerie.

Or, in even other words, down boy.

Sambene is a deep thinker.

There is a whole spectrum of magic between black and white.

He knows because hes apparently seen a lot of red.

Sapani hasnt had enough screen time.

His character is unfolding as slowly as his own leisurely speech.

He seems to consider each and every word before he speaks them.

Ethan Chandler is a real wolfman.

Hes Lon Chaney Jr. Hes even got his shirt.

The audience can still see the man beneath the animal and the designer label on his holster.

The group is splintering under the weight of Sir Malcolms growing infatuation with Evelyn Poole.

Ferdinand Lyle (Simon Russell Beale) is truly worried about Vanessa Ives.

But he has deep regrets.

Lyle deals out all of his emotions from the bottom of the deck.

For a first effort, he really wasnt that bad.

He has more self-control than the doctors second effort and his third try is a real charmer.

Frankenstein (Harry Treadaway) should get himself an Igor.

Lily (Billie Piper) isnt quite working out as she should.

The sorry surgeon got a good deal on a leftover from theYoung Frankensteinlot.

The former Brona, who Chandler cant get over, has Abby Normals brain inside her skull.

And they called it puppy love.

The fire scene is more electric than the thunderstorm that caused it.

you could almost hear the wolfmans erection, much less see it, screaming for and at attention.

We see later that it could cut wood, as the hanging tree totters in the balance.

She never gives anything a single look.

She gives double and triple-takes, each on appearing to fathom depths deeper than Robert Louis Stevenson ever dared.

Greens eyes go from adoring to suspicious with a blink.

But hes also a little worried.

If Vanessa can control dogs to attack masters, what can she get werewolves like him to do.

He would already do almost everything.

A very worthy entry for the Police Gazette of the time.

Little Scorpion was written by John Logan and directed by Brian Kirk.
