Date: 2014-06-30 05:43 pm (UTC)Malcolm's Vanessa related feelings certainly have a strong dose of the none paternal as well, but somehow with the sort of man he is I think acknowledging there is some sexual attraction there would be easier than to admit she's family (however you define it) and that he loves her (and has connected to her in a way he never managed to Peter and Mina). And I think it's really important in that showdown that he doesn't just choose to save Vanessa's life but to say out loud one of the emotional things she means to him (which he didn't have to in order to save her life). With his track record it was questionable whether he could ever change (different thing from being able to feel guilt), but the, in lack of a better term, acknowledgment of Vanessa was something he hadn't done before and so that was as important as letting go of Mina.
re: Victor, absolutely - and as opposed to poor Proteus, I don't think Caliban will dispatch of Creature!Brona, so Victor will soon find out that the only thing worse than having one Creature pissed off at you are two of them, who additionally are at odds with each other.
BTW, I love that Madame Kali's real name is Evelyn because it reminds me of one of my favourite DW audio characters. And yay for confirmed more Helen McCrory next season! She sparkled in that scene. And I don't believe for a minute she was acquiring a gun because she felt nostalgic about her late husband.
I shall hold you to your word if TPTB don't come through re: Christmas special. :)
