Dracula: "From Darkness Into Light"

So having watched this episode, does anyone else get the sneaking suspicion that what these writers really want is for this show to be about Lady Jane? So far she's completely dominating these episodes (especially this one), generally coming across as an older, tougher Victorian version of Buffy: she's blonde, kickass, aggressive, sleeps with

I didn't hear anything about the Earthquake on the news, perhaps the press are getting blase about them too.

I was on my second glass of wine while watching this, all the while thinking "I don't get it" Why did he call the vampires to him, only for Lady Jayne to intercept them on the train.
What is going on with the vampire in the dungeons, is she still there even?
For somebody doing a medical degree, Mina sure has a lot of spare time.
Jonathan's pretty good at his job though...

Lady Jayne's Bedroom scene?? My 6yo son came out of his bedroom looked at the screen and said "wow, boobies" and went back to bed, so I was pretty much laughing too

Oh dear, Renfield, NOOOO, and we needed more Lucy!!! (or where those scenes deleted too?)

Re: the earthquake, we've had well over a thousand tremors since the big one in 2011, so I'm not surprised that it didn't make the news. Heck, nobody even mentioned it the next day.

Good point - that's the trouble with having characters that need to devote a lot of time to their studies; it doesn't make for good television!

I'll keep watching as I am enjoying the visuals and a few of the characters, but in terms of plot I'm not really that invested with the whole "vengeance is mine!" deal (mainly because I don't know that much about the Order to care whether or not they're defeated) or the whole Dracula versus snobby shareholders conflict.
