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.
