    I call Bull**** on John Logan's proclamations: "always only meant to be 3 seasons long" & "story was always singularly about Vanessa's life".

    Season One, for anyone who took the time to watch it, was clearly a show with an ensemble cast (each possessing their own narrative) and multi-level story lines that just happened to intersect and intertwine.

    Season Two, while it certainly did draw in more closely on Vanessa, there was still a great deal of focus on the rest of the cast and their own stories. Season Three was basically the same formula as Season Two, with perhaps a slight more interest on Ms. Ives. Hell, she was in, what, five whole minutes of the final two episodes?

    If he wasn't planning a continuation into a fourth season, then why send Ferdinand Lyle to Cairo to investigate the tomb of Imhotep? And what exactly was the point of bringing Jekyll into the fold...simply to almost help Frankenstein recapture his first love? A complete waste of a character (and set design expense) if that was his singular purpose in the series.

    Sorry, Mr. Logan, but I'm not convinced.

      It's done!? Ach, that's sad, it seems (as DS etc. noted) rushed.

        the thing that bothered me the most, was no one had any kind of happy ending. it was a very depressing finish to the show. I mean, I get that it is a show about monsters but come on, could at least one being get a happy ending?

          Yes. I haven't seen season 3 yet, but though I expected all to end badly/sadly for most, I'd have liked at least some sort of peace for Vanessa.

            spoilers.










            they made it out that Vanessa found peace by finding God again, but I don't buy that. she was conflicted all along after the tried to renounce God. plus after she had realized who was Dracula, and was intent on killing him, the whole about face and allowing him to bite her just made no sense to me

              Interesting spoiler.












              I will weigh in on this when I see the whole season on dvd. I believe redemption--both the success and failing of it--is a powerful theme in most classic horror. It's pretty worthless, in supernatural stories, to acknowledge evil without providing it's counterpoint and the friction between the two.

                Dammit. I'm still PO'd at how season 3 was (mis)handled. Season Two showed such improvement and promise.

                It's like when HBO maddeningly cancelled Carnivale.
