They don't even try to make Shelley look tall anymore.


Annoying.

I was just thinking that before I checked out this board. Season 1, my impression was she was supposed to be like a Frankenstein monster, and was even bigger than Roman. There was a lot of mystery. Now I don't know what she's supposed to be. It's like it's a totally different character.

Indeed. It wouldn't have been so noticeable if various characters didn't occasionally make reference to how tall/big she was (supposed to be). Every time it happens, you're like "Heyyy.... yeah, waitaminute!"

reply

There were a few scenes were her was tall, maybe if there was a S4 we could learn that she can change her height.

I just went on a rant to my hubby about this! Also, why did her hair and scarring totally change without explanation in season 2?? So annoying.

reply

I believe her other hair was a wig. I think it fell of when she was running and then she never replaced it? Unless I'm remembering incorrectly!

Shelley is my fave on the show but what was irritating to me is how bad her fx prosthetics looked. there are amazing FX people working in the industry today and whoever worked on this season couldn't have done a better job with Shelley's face. it's literally looked like she was had a flap over her face. it looked like the glue (or whatever) used to hold the fx piece in place came undone.

OMG U GUYZ DID U ALL SEE THE VIDEO OF HER FALLING DOWN!? I'VE WATCHED IT 20,000 TIMES OVER THE PAST 3 MONTHS! I HEARD EVERYBODY IN HOLLYWOOD WANTS SHELLY'S AUTOGRAPH!

I ALSO HEARD THE VIDEO GOT 30 TRILLION LIKES ON YOUTUBE!!!11!

I also couldn't stand the tasteless, primitive, animalistic gangster rap they included in the soundtrack for season 3. Wretched and completely out of place.

reply

Sooooo out of place. I don't know if they were trying to make the show seem more youthful or what, but glaring difference from season 1.

reply

Yes it really bothered me because I would be into the story and what was happening and then I would be pulled out of the storyline because the character didn't look right!

Nope... the body double that used to play TALL Shelly wasn't even in Season 3.

It was clear from the get go they didn't even try to bother with making her look tall anymore... too complicated apparently.

I always liked the OG Shelly anyhow. S1 gave Shelly a magical characteristic that was gone in Season 2 and 3.

Farewell Hemlock Grove.... Just be glad we got 3 seasons.
