We also hear his deep mysterious voice, which leaves us with more questions. When Syd asks him if she should be afraid, he tells her, "they should be afraid. Let's begin" which doesn't give the viewers any real i...

He's much more cheerful in the show, bringing some much-needed lightness and comic relief to an intense show. In the comic, Syd and Stanley's sexual relationship also con...
