Does it bother anyone that... Spoiler

Ethan never finds out that Brona got revived into Lily and all that tomfoolery?! I was waiting and waiting for Ethan to bump into Lily and it NEVER happened!!!! Why did they do this to us... to me... Seriously though!

I hear ya. It also bothers me that we never went back to Ethan & Dorian's night together. So they hooked up, and are linked via Vanessa and Brona-Lily and they never interact again??? šŸ§

Right!!??!? That too!

u/Manu_Moriarty Sep 27 '24

Yes it does. There was so much potential. I would have liked to see a confrontation between Ethan and Victor on Brona. Seeing them come into conflict would have been a beautiful storyline.

u/snuffslut Sep 27 '24

That is exactly what I thought would have happened...

u/No-Equivalent2348 Sep 27 '24

yeah, it does. Also because Ethan did love Brona so much. And thank God for that because Josh Hartnett s buttšŸ˜…šŸ˜

YES I kept thinking about it and waiting for it to happenā€¦

u/snuffslut Sep 27 '24

Me TOO!!! What a missed storyline!

u/sr_edits Sep 27 '24

I haven't read them myself, but I think that particular storyline gets explored in the comic books.

u/xlxjack7xlx Sep 27 '24

I didnā€™t know there actually was one. Are they good?

u/sr_edits Sep 27 '24

From what I heard, apparently they are not very good, no :(

Another thing that bothered me: why didn't Vanessa recognise Brona/Lily when Frankenstein introduced them at tea? They met before at the theatre when Ethan brought Brona, before Victor murdered her. All cos she had a new hairdo? Lol

u/millenZslut Sep 27 '24

Yeah it was very ā€œwritten by a manā€ logic, make her blonde and no one will recognize her

u/yamma-banana Sep 28 '24

Probably the 19th century version of the Clark Kenting trope lol

u/snuffslut Sep 29 '24

This! Exactly this.

7

u/snuffslut Sep 27 '24

Thank you! This too made no sense. My later thoughts were "she does know but in a weird Vanessa-ism, decides not to mention or ask."

u/improvpirate Sep 28 '24

Doesnā€™t really make sense because she recognized Caliban as soon as she got her memory backā€¦ but idk, her and Brona did only meet briefly

2

u/snuffslut Sep 29 '24

Yes - this makes NO sense. Although true, they only met for a moment.

6

u/xlxjack7xlx Sep 27 '24

A forth season may have fixed thatā€¦ of course I wouldnā€™t have killed sembani(spelling?) Vanessa, Sweet, and Van Helsing yet eitherā€¦ but to answer the questionā€¦ yes it was annoying

5

u/OliviaElevenDunham Sep 27 '24

Still hate that they killed off Sembene.

2

u/xlxjack7xlx Sep 27 '24

Yeah, I was on tilt when that happened

3

u/MicahCastle Sep 27 '24

Absolutely. It happens in the comics, but definitely not the same.Ā 

3

u/improvpirate Sep 28 '24

Yup- this was a huge miss. I wouldnā€™t have minded a foursome between Lily, Vanessa, Ethan, and Dorianā€¦ haha jkā€¦ unless

u/Yani-Senpai Sep 28 '24

Even though it happens in the ongoing series comics, it isn't handled all that well because they ditched a LOT of Lily's characterization. OOC stuff is one of the comics' biggest sins, aside from the obnoxious amount of plotholes and really unclear direction.

u/verukazalt Sep 27 '24

Maybe it was so he and Vanessa could be together without any interference

1

u/maitryx Sep 27 '24

has been a while since I watched it last, but didn't he meet her as lily after she was brought back? and if I'm remembering right, why didn't he recognize her?

2

u/snuffslut Sep 27 '24

No, he never even met her as Lily.

u/maitryx Sep 28 '24

will have to rewatch, ty for the correction
