Daemons Domain - All Souls Trilogy & Universe Fan Site + Podcast: Daemons Discuss - Podcast: Take 80! | Our TV Wish-List; Series/Season 3, feat. Dr. Shelli Carter

Hey, we can dream!

Take 80 - The One With the Wishes You Won't Find on Amazon

Description: It's time for Take 80 -- an "On the Tens" episode. This time, we decided to put our wishes out into the universe for Season 3 of A Discovery of Witches (based on The Book of Life.) Yes, we are jumping ahead a bit, but it's filming now, so why not? 😀

SPOILER ALERT! We (The Daemons) approach this podcast with an assumption that the listener has read All Souls universe books, including the trilogy (A Discovery of Witches, Shadow of Night, The Book of Life), and Time's Convert + snippits from The World of All Souls. If you haven't, and you don't mind, we certainly don't mind! Please be advised, we will approach the television series (A Discovery of Witches) the same way as episodes are released in the US/Canada. 😊 Let's do this. *Note - this podcast is labeled 'explicit'

Topic:
Our Wish-list for Season 3 of A Discovery of Witches (TV series)

Things we liked in S1 and hope continues throughout the series
Shelli - The expanded world-view.
Angela - A continuation of the score and soundscape of S1.
Jean - An expansive view of the de Clermont family dynamics.
Valerie - More back-stories of daemons.

Things we didn’t like in S1, so stop it!
Angela - Quit making Matthew the constant hero. We already love him, no need for more!
Shelli - Stop taking away the science!
Jean - 1) better tailoring 2) Diana’s character weaknesses are very hidden; expose them 3) fear of expansion of Gallowglass’s role.
Valerie - the diminishment of vital secondary characters (example: Marthe). Also, the lack of closure on Gillian!

What we’d like to see in S3 (scenes/interactions)
Jean - Ransome and New Orleans! More of the Congregation! Walking into the Mayfair house for the first time! The round tower!
Shelli - Jack in his blood-rage (the scene with his frenzied painting on the walls).
Angela - Hubbard dressing Diana and Matthew down, and how he (Hubbard) stepped up to the plate in securing Jack's care over the centuries.
Valerie - Ysabeau being held at Gerbert; she also expresses fear of plumping up Gallowglass’s love-sick melancholy.

Scenes that cannot be cut out (in our opinions):
Shelli - All of the creatures and their interactions in Chris's lab.
Angela - The different locations (they are important). She adds, not a scene, but a request for improved quality of some of the special effects (Satu/Diana flying scene came to mind).
Jean - Corra in the Bodleian; the caper is important. Also, cloak porn. Oh, yes, and the Blasted Tree
Valerie - Scene with Diana’s confrontation of the creatures on the Congregation with the truth about the Book of Life, and her relationship with it.

Add-on wishes
Angela - better promotion of Series 2 (at the time of this recording, we didn’t have a lot).
Shelli - realistic lab scenes.
Jean - Les Revenants.
Valerie - wonders how much the TV pacing will be rushed; the Book of Life felt rushed to her, and she hopes they will take some time to flesh out some plots/ongoing themes in the overall story.

^{Jeff Greenstein: "When
Marta & David & Jeff & I did 'Dream On', we used to spend a
lot of time thinking about titles, because they were on-screen at the
top of each episode. On "Friends", we decided that was a waste of time.
We figured, why not name each episode after the thing that people will
ostensibly be talking about around the water-cooler the next day?"}
