Then a closing montage set to Gothy organ music of Marlott escaping the Hervey compound, and walking out and away from where we can watch him. Sister Hervey being given a roped nвЂ™ stitched undead Sean Bean as a wedding gift (better than a toaster вЂ“ also, this ticks off the вЂat least one completely nuts element per instalmentвЂ™ requirement that I assume the production/writing team set for themselves during the creation process), with the suggestion theyвЂ™d carry on a relationship in secret. Instead of big final fights and revelations, the episode bravely went with justвЂ¦yeah, showing MarlottвЂ™s afterlife unfold in an unhurried way вЂ“ Brother Hervey calling him вЂhis AdamвЂ™, trying to feed him, showing him some kindness. The dead pig floated to Greenwich, but guess what вЂ“ the super-villain headquarters wasnвЂ™t in Greenwich at all. But that was it in terms of giving the audience what weвЂ™ve been given over and over again and ready ourselves for as a result вЂ“ nothing else was sacred, even the sanctity of MarlottвЂ™s dead pig race evidence was ripped away. Herv even slapped an underling like a bad guy should, giving Marlott some nefarious side-eye while he was at it. Also, while weвЂ™re on this point, Nightingale should have been seemingly mortally wounded, Marlott should have struggled with Hervey for a knife, win, rescue Nightingale вЂ“ you get it). Apparent good guy Sir Daniel Hervey had his heel-turn (genre rules dictating that should happen in the last ten minutes, but it came closer to the first. And the reanimation element was never going to be wasted, not when thereвЂ™s an opportunity to bring him back we knew that. Marlott died, as Sean Bean characters do вЂ“ Sean Bean performances being just too darn good for this cruel world we live in. There was some satiation of expectations, sure. All those things could have happened, but who would have predicted how we would actually spend the episode while the time ticked down?

Sir William Garnet, heavily hinted as the villain of the series вЂ“ heвЂ™d saunter in and explain his evil plot to Marlott at gun point, sic Billy the Childsnatcher on him, rig something to blow, right? He didnвЂ™t show up at all. That was promising вЂ“ would she enter the melee with a flintlock to help our heroes here at the end? No. Mary Shelley, scarpering out of London sharpish after being dragged half to death in the tabloids, showed a flicker of excitement when hearing reanimation was possible and totally happening in the capital in last weekвЂ™s ep. The Frankenstein Chronicles Season show reviews & Metacritic score: Speculating that Hervey is connected to the church murders, Marlott assumes a false identity and escapes to the inner city, where he gets a job gathering dead b. WeвЂ™d been teased (and teased, and teased) with reanimated creatures galvanised into life to be revealed at last вЂ“ maybe theyвЂ™d descend on John Marlott, Joseph Nightingale, and Flora No-Last-Name-ThatвЂ™s-Not-a-Good-Sign in a bloody showdown by the Hackney marshes? Nope, no zombie hoard this week.
