Steampunk octopus. Steampunk octopus! . . . Steampunk octopus?
I dunno, if you’re gonna give me a steampunk octopus rampaging across Victorian London and battling werewolves, it’s gotta be with more conviction than that.
This series is like waxed fruit: it’s decorative, it’s pretty, it suits only very particular esthetics. And you really, really don’t want to do anything other than look at it once in a while and go, “yeah. Wax fruit.”
. . . Pretty fun, though.

Now you've reminded me of Martin Landau wrestling with the rubber octopus in Ed Wood. Except that was a great movie.

*squints* I . . . have no idea. These have all blurred into one mass of werewolves-gowns-silly hats-sassy gay vampires.
