So into Vanessa and Penny Dreadful. I hope it gets the proper ratings so we can have a second season (and more). Some critics are already saying that Eva’s the one to watch in this show. BOW.

HOW YOU CAN HELP WITH THE RATINGS:

US viewers, especially ones with Nielsen boxes, should watch Penny Dreadful during its original airing. Or for those who can’t, watch it online on Showtime’s website or other accredited legal websites for you to be counted. Being counted means higher ratings for the show and it gives Showtime more incentive to RENEW the show for a second season. Renewal means we are assured of at least 8 weeks of Eva on our TVs 😉

For international fans, you can HASHTAG Penny Dreadful on your tweets ( #PennyDreadful ) since Nielsen also monitors and counts this as a sign of viewership. Remember to NOT ADD other hashtags to your tweets. It must only contain the show’s name. That’s the basic Nielsen hashtagging rule unless Showtime announces other hashtagging options or Nielsen announces new changes.

Lastly, what you can do now, during and after the show’s airing, you can keep on letting Showtime know of your enthusiasm for the show and the characters and actors by tweeting Showtime’s official twitter account, Showtime’s official PR account and Penny Dreadful’s official twitter account. Let me know if you want them.

All this when the show starts airing! 😉

Im excited to see timothy dalton, who in my opinion is the best james bond ever..and eva is the best bond girl … to think the two of them are.gunna be in the same show…..its heaven.:)

I remember reading somewhere it was goin to be 8 episodes. But I might be wrong

I wouldn’t mind Penny Dreadful having more than one season. It’s completely viable and more stable for the actors. They could spend 5-6 months doing a season and the rest for vacation and do one or two films. I have no doubt that Eva will keep doing it (IF it gets renewed) unless she feels otherwise since she only does projects she’s passionate about. I wouldn’t mind seeing 8 episodes of her work in a span of 8 weeks then one or two films for the rest of the year rather than one or two films a year only :/

There’s a 300: Rise of an Empire game app on iOS. You can download it if you want to go and try to beat Artemisia. Lol

@M: Definitely! Showtime’s PR twitter account told me that they’ll keep me posted if Penny Dreadful will have a SDCC panel or if they will participate in other Cons. If they do, safe to say Eva will be there since I was told that Sin City: A Dame to Kill For will have a panel. They also informed me that they’ll keep us posted if Penny Dreadful is qualified to any award giving body 🙂

PS: International fans can also watch the show online (through Showtime’s website or other legit sites) if it’s available in their country. You will be counted.

GOT at 9,penny dreadful at 10..my sundays just got a whole lot better!

@ausrotten I might not be able to make it due to my work schedule but I got a friend who has a standby ticket for me. I’ll still try to make it! Anyone reading this who’re going to SDCC should let us know 🙂

@ausrotten Lol! I’m just lucky I have friends who have extra tickets and sponsor tickets 😀 I was suppose to go last year but I had to cancel because of other commitments 🙁

My friends were suppose to get me a signed pic but her booth signing time coincided with the The X Files panel so they had to skip it. They were able to walk pass by her booth though and they told me that she looked up as they passed by so they stopped for a few seconds to wave and tell her (they sort of shouted because the place was really noisy lol) that their friend *insert my real life name here* is a huge fan and she just smiled and waved back so they didn’t really know if she heard them LMAO 😆 . Sad.

Oh god I haven’t really thought what I would ask her in case I get into the Q&A of a panel she’s in but I’d definitely not ask her generic or personal questions or questions that has been asked millions of times already. How about you?

Also, can I just say that (creepy) guys telling her they’ve been a fan since The Dreamers (followed by hooting and clapping in the background) are just weird :/

I don’t think given the opportunity I would dare ask her anything..I’m far too shy I’d be too afraid to make an ass out of myself or stutter outta pure nervousness (few celebs have that effect on me , I had a glimpse at cate blanchett while they were filming blue jasmine two blocks from where I work and my hands started sweating..I think its the high cheekbone effect ) but idk.I’d prolly ask her what’s the last book she read, but that’s something I always ask when I meet someone…to me she seems smart and bit of an intellectual ..I’d just love to pick her brain in a non creepy way lol ,I bet she has fascinating interesting views on things in general 🙂

@ ausrotten

I would also like to know what was the last book she’s read. so far I’ve read all the books she has mentioned in interviews (Fraulein Else, Stefan Zweig’s books – even though I’ve heard of before, The Secret Scripture etc), except for Haruki Murakami. I don’t like his books.

@g

Hmmmm….I don’t think I would like to her opinions on things. Sometimes actors/actresses should keep things for themselves. Or if she would like to say something, I’m sure she would say in her usual respectful manner. 🙂

And for both of you…What was the last book that you’ve read? 🙂

The thing about her though is she remains a mystery even though she answers these things. She just have the knack of keeping us guessing. I definitely don’t want to know everything. I like the mystery but an idea wouldn’t be bad.

The last book I read is Jonathan Franzen’s The Corrections.

I think everyone should definitely share the last books they’ve read 🙂

@ausrotten Can you link me to the book? I mean the cover and everything? I’d like to take a good look at it. Sounds interesting…

This is true?

@daphne Interesting books you have there! I’ll go look into them. I’m most interested with Byzantine Empresses. Thanks for sharing! Franzen’s books are really interesting. If you have time, go check out his works.

@ausrotten Yes the Shakespearean Star Wars book. I just looked into it and I’m already intrigued. I’ll get into it after I finish everything in my list…I have a backlog :/

@leo I think you have to take it with a grain of salt. I can’t find any other supporting source. However, I’d love her to work with Andy Garcia in the future!

@ daphne,have you read a book called “Iron Butterflies: Women Transforming Themselves and the World”? its a good read..
I too like to read about historic empowering women.cuz I feel often times they’re story has been misconstrued and they’re depicted as the “seductress”and nothing more,take cleopatra for example,she was incredibly brilliant and accomplished unbelievable things , tablets and monuments have been destroyed or conveniently lost, women went from being worshiped ,having temples build after them,men launching entire wars for a single woman..to not being able to vote and burning bras??I often times wonder..wtf happened? lol but I feel there’s a renaissance for the modern goddesses in the making.:)

🙂

Interesting project. However, there hasn’t been other sources to support this news….

It’s a very promising project and the casting is good. I hope El Mundo is right on the money 🙂

Thanks for the book recommendation leo!

I agree about her and Joseph being the only good thing about Camelot (ooop). It does seem like something she’d be interested in. I hope we hear of upcoming projects soon!

@ausrotten Omg what. I have been under the impression that you are a guy? 😆 I’m really sorry!!

All photos above are excellently done..
