So Katenay WAS the one who turned Ethan, the source of his curse! AHAHAHAA!! DID I CALL IT OR DID I CALL IT? I AM GENIUS LIKE WHOA!!!

And oh EEEEKKKKK for Evil Ethan. I THOUGHT they were headed that way. Oh, this is yummy and so fucking fascinating. He's tearing my heart out, so dark and tortured and sexy. You can see the steam powering out of his nostrils and the flames in his eyes. Is it even possible for him to come back? Where are they going with this? What's going to save Ethan? (I'm banking on it being Vanessa that eventually pulls him back from the brink somehow, but admittedly, I can't see how it would happen. A psychic showdown between her and Missy Thing? That would be epic!)

And thank you Logan, for that lovely hotness with Missy Thing. I figured they were going to do the nasty at some point, but I thought it would be after he dealt with his dad and was all triumphantly covered in blood and going ARRRR FUCK ME NOW I'M HORNY. (I did misread his whole "gonna have it out with Daddy" thing. I thought it was about IMA KILL THAT SUMBITCH, but it turns out it was DO IT DO IT I WANNA DIE RITE NOW.) But we got it earlier than I expected, which was a nice surprise. It was a bit more camera-shy than I craved, but nonetheless very delicious evil fucking. (Did you catch that he was fucking her canine style? HUMAN BE DAMNED I AM WOLFGOD NOW.) They really should have let it run its course, though. That moment would have soared with a good orgasm to cap it off, especially if she watched him without coming herself. NOT COMPLAINING, MIND YOU. uhn.... *sigh*

And my, my, Missy Thing herself. Now that's what I was talking about. She showed some of her interior this time, something besides her panting lust for murder, and now I get her a bit more. She's terrified not only of her Master, but of being alone in her terror. She's quite in love with Ethan in her way - he's her perfect mate. Of course, whether she's his is another matter.

Great choice of Daddy, too. Brian Cox brings a delicious world weariness and dark pain to the character. (Daddy was not what I expected at all, too. That whole situation was not what I expected.) Loved that scene with Malcolm...OUCH. Painful, that was, and Malcolm insisting they were different. YEAH, NO. You sucked as a dad. Own it, dude. And I'm ambivalent about losing Katenay. He was an interesting character and could have contributed more to the story. That is, if he's actually dead, which he may not be. He is a wizard, after all.

Then, of course, there's the doctors. What the fucking mischief they're up to! I do not for a second believe that that treatment will stick. If Victor actually manages to imprison Lily and pull that shit on her (which I doubt, she's a fucking monster after all, and two very dedicated Blood Sex Murder Minions enthusiastically have her back), I fully expect them to find out it's temporary soon afterwards. Probably just after Henry wakes up from having havign Victor administer it to him. Then Victor will have to deal with the double whammy of Lily going back to monstrously bloodthirsty (and man-hating! won't that be fun for Victor!) and Henry going back to murderously vengeful (YOU FUCKING WHITE PRICK WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME) at the same time, with no werewolf to back him up. Wheeee! (That is my theory, about the brontosaurus, and what it is, too.)

Oh, this is so luscious. I'm just loving all of it. I keep thinking the show is the best thing I've ever seen on TV, and it just Keeps. Getting. Better. What a tapestry they're weaving. I pray to Aphrodite and Kali and Bellona and Inanna that they keep getting renewed until the full story has been elegantly told, at which point they will bow out with a graceful, tragic, beautiful end. * sigh * A girl can dream...



P.S. I get the thing with Ethan's hair now. Yes, it had to go. Let's hope somehow we'll see it grow back.

I LOVE THIS SHOW SO MUCH.

Wow, they finally gave us some of Ethan's backstory, and it is tragic and painful, and it's no wonder he's such a tortured, guilt-ridden werewolf. Nothing went the way I expected it to, except the sex between Ethan and Hecate. I never expected his father's reasons for bringing him home. It was stunning, that scene in the chapel, and I was tearing up over the awful story his father had to tell.

It was heartbreaking, wasn't it? That single tear Ethan cried felt like acid when it dripped down his face. I love his defiance in the face of death. THE LAMB IS DEAD, I AM WOLF NOW. I don't know whether to believe that, or whether that tear was his true soul trying to claw its way back out. Which is the true Ethan now? Is this character even going to survive the story? He might not, you know. Logan could be planning for Ethan to die in some spectacular way, probably close to the end of the tale if that's where he's going. That curse doesn't look reversible, and I doubt even Vanessa's power could even arrest its effects, lovely dream of happiness notwithstanding (that was Lucifer tempting her, after all), so death is really the only way to deal with him. And it would be the classic end to Ethan, since the werewolf always gets taken down by that silver bullet. What can you do with a rabid dog but shoot him? That one glimpse of a murdered world with Ethan standing over it, trembling with lust to kill anything that moved pretty much clinched it, I think.

But as Miller used to say back when he was funny, That's just my opinion. I could be wrong.

*sigh* Loving his.

If Ethan dies, I think it will be a redemption, with him sacrificing his life to save Vanessa and others. I can't believe the curse is irreversible. I know it's possible that it will go that dark, since the whole show has been pitch-black for the most part. But I have hopes for our beautiful beast.

The curse being irreversible would actually make such a death even more beautiful and tragic and apropos, I think. Going out in a blaze of glory because he knows he can do nothing else, and at least he can give his haunted, horrible life a little dignity at the end. Ethan turning on Lucifer and defying the very power that could give him the world** would truly make him the Wolf Of God, self-sacrifice being something that always gets Jehovah hot and bothered. Hell, that's probably the reason he IS the Lupus Dei, as far as the Divine Powers are concerned. His older brother didn't get the job done, so now he has to take up the burden. Hm, imagine a religion springing up in his wake...

**I'm suddenly minded of David Warner's wonderful in Cast a Deadly Spell: "A world of the unburied dead and a sky black with ashes. It'll be a blasted maimed planet, but he'll be the most important person in it." LOVE that movie, so snarky.

Ohhhhhh I loved and adored this episode. What a tragic and sad history. I adore Ethan so much.

The last time I came across a character as compelling as Ethan was the HBO series Rome. That series had the same kind of thing going: incredible acting talent, amazing production design, scripts that were a fucking artistic marvel. Another cultured, literay, witty series, with profound depths. Oh, and lots of sex and violence. LOTS. (Though according to one expert on Rome who consulted on the show, not enough sex and violence. Those kooky Romans!)

With this role, Josh has finally grown up as an actor. I've never seen this kind of subtlety and layering in his performances before. He's clicked into this guy in a glorious way, and it is beautiful to watch.

*sigh* I'm just so goddamned PROUD of him. I knew that gawky kid would make it (if he could just keep from becoming a complete pain in the ass). I feel so amazed and blessed to have watched his evolution from the very beginning, before anyone knew who he was. I hope I get to tell him one day.

Oh I knew he would make a brilliant actor one day. Morw than just a pretty face. 😃

I wish now that I'd actually talked to him, but that's Monday morning quarterbacking. What the fuck was I gonna say to a 19-year--old kid? I have a vague memory of him asking me where the office was the first day of shooting, but other than that, I don't think we passed more than three words the whole time I worked there, two of which were probably "hey". Still, it's been such a delight to watch him mature, especially out of that era of SHIT movies he was making when he first hit big. The best thing he ever did was leave Hollywood.
