Ok, I hate that I’m doing this, but I thought the blisters were from when she was, you know, hit by lightening?

I think you are probably right about all these things. Also, Billy yelling at John to take care of his own mess (paraphrasing) was clearly about something else and not just the marital strife with Lor. Also, John has that photo he had taken of Mare’s ex which was supposed to be an alibi for the ex, but it’s also an…

I think it’s set up this way for a specific reason and consequence. Carrie thinks she is doing better and therefore deserves to have Drew with her because she is saying no to drugs, including the uppers this ep. However, falling asleep because of how exhausted she and putting her son in possible danger makes her…

Fuller has repeatedly engaged with fans in instagram and twitter about Will and Hannibal’s relationship, and has talked about it being a romance, beyond a typical romance, being about attraction, but not necessarily about sex. As for the rest of the stuff about reproduction, etc, you just have to read the text to see…

The third season of Hannibal, which should have been the third and the fourth season, fully crystallized what Fuller was going for in his vision, a counterargument to heteronormative framing of relationships that encompasses asexuality, queer love, high romance, and non-reproduction centric family units.

Absolutely, and I think this is where the writing failed Karli. You already had one character who, when pushed to their limits, decided that they can just commit extrajudicial murder (“judicial” murder?), so why also do the same thing for Karli? Here is where Karli was failed by the writing because Disney and perhaps…

Oh yes, I totally agree that it is fair to be both surprised and disappointed. That the disney machine actually allowed for this level of antiracist and anti-neoliberal thinking is surprising, but it also makes sense that they were only comfortable with it because at the end, the solutions are portrayed as finger…

Firstly, Sulagna, great reviewing throughout. Even when I disagreed with your takes, I appreciated that they were well thought out and made sense.

I actually think John Walker does have a moral compass. He shows humility and a desire to fulfill what he sees as his responsibility in his introductory scenes. He is always there for his friend and partner. And most crucially, he has that convo with Lemar about how what they did in Afganistan was “right” only because…

Wasn’t Caesar killed because he essentially declared himself king?

I don’t see how the Seduced, for all its merits, can be seen as anything other than an attempt to absolve India Oxenberg off of her own complicity in recruiting and abusing DOS members (going off of the two episodes that I’ve seen). In this sense Seduced does as much for the Oxenbergs as The Vow does for Sarah…

That this stupid show gets another season and not Hannibal is an unforgivable travesty.

One of the victim names Leti calls for help, Anarcha, was also the name of one of the unwilling enslaved black women that Sims experimented upon.

I don’t understand why this had to be called Perry Mason when nothing of the original novels except for the time period remains. At the least, I wish they had kept at least a couple of things in, especially Perry’s character, which is a high achieving, professional, type A, incredibly smart lawyer. In the novels Paul…

Chris Pine in I am the Night is apex white-guy-ally-with-anger-issues-but-directed-at-correct-target hot.

Reasons why I think this is Abernathy:

I don’t think Mia is explicitly described as white in the book, so how you read it entirely depended on what race you attributed to the character.

I don’t think it’s that out of the left field:
