Huh, I actually love the stag. The thing that made me start watching was a gif I saw of the scene where Will's sleepwalking down the road—I couldn't get the image out of my head.

Never heard of her before this show, and I really love the character. I didn't miss her exactly this ep because she wasn't needed for this particular story, but I'd hate to see her character go. As a few people have said, she's one of the few stable people around—Bev is the only other one I can really think of—and…

I assumed her physical ailments were the result of living in the wild, essentially, and also that since she assumed she was dead she wasn't bothering to eat or take care of herself in anyway.

I think it's sort of both and neither. The show has been doing some really incredible fourth-wall stuff; for example, early on, before we'd ever seen Hannibal kill anybody, the constant cuts to him cooking were playing with our existing knowledge and expectations. Same with all the cannibal puns—if we didn't already…

I just figured it was part of the hallucination.

@eric827:disqus PLEASE tell me you're talking about Murder By Death.

I'm starting to feel like I'm the only person who saw this episode as a coherent whole. To me, the clear theme wasn't so much "They don't know our name because we don't know our name" and more "If you don't like it, maybe it's time to get out of the business." Pete freaks out at the "insurrection" (or whatever he…

They specifically shot him to emphasize his height, broad shoulders, etc. in that entire scene with Eric. It was DELICIOUS, because we haven't had a scene like that in a long time.

But if Eric is just human, how could he see the Baron's woge? (Sorry, I'm just running through this comments section a week late.) We don't actually know for sure what the Royals are; if they're not Wesen, they're not just normal humans either. (I keep saying this, but: if the Royals are just normal humans, how the…

Late, but I gotta argue about Juliette. She's only ever been in the shop for Wesen business. She's never seen a single person there who wasn't a Wesen. Nick: "I'm on a case." Juliette: "Is it Wesen?" Nick: "Yes." No further details, as far as we know. She had ample reason to believe that if this person was in the…

I'm super late, but I'm thinking it could be a pretty fun reversal to have Adalind end up freeing him, since she's already in position. I'm sure they could find a way to make it sufficiently in her interest to make her feel like she had to.

@spinycreature:disqus I'm a Tywin lover, but it has nothing to do with him being a good person, or even wanting to high five him. Sometimes it's just fun to watch people being total rampant prickbags. Similarly, I LOVE Littlefinger, but it has nothing to do with approving of his agenda (HE GAVE ROZ UP FOR DEAD,…

I've heard the phrase what feels like a million times, but no details, so I've known for a while that SOMETHING was going to happen at SOMEONE'S wedding, but that's it. I can live with that.

I knew he was going to die, but not how or when. But I figured the wedding would probably be it. It didn't ruin the episode too much for me, though, probably because I haven't been invested in Robb or his storyline for…I don't even know how long. Possibly forever. Cat, though—SHIT.

@RedScarab:disqus There's some pretty fucked-up shit going on on Hannibal, and that show's on a network, for crying out loud. (Mostly you see the aftermath, not the actual acts of violence, but holy fuck some of those corpses are horrible. And there is an actual on-camera direct shot of someone gouging out someone's…

I was thinking about this. Possibly Daenerys's biggest flaw as a leader is that she doesn't seem to understand the value of positive feedback and making her lieutenants feel valued. She's been mostly coasting on charisma—which, if you're her, is not a terrible strategy—but if you want to keep your loyalists long term,…

There were a ton of parallels between the case of the week and the Abigail metaplot—destructive/murderous fathers, controlling your own narrative. I also think that Will's deep satisfaction in saying "your sole act as a father was destroying your creation" or whatever it was to Wells probably played a role in why he…

@avclub-567574885acdc48483e6d53e4f4ab09a:disqus I was thinking that maybe if she did recognize it, the knowledge that Hannibal shared some part of her shame/secret was what enabled her to finally come out and say that she was involved in her father's murders and, I assume, the butchering thereof. That's the only…

I mean, if we're gonna talk about him missing the hottie who has the hots for him right in front of his face, Beverly's name is basically in blinking neon here. (So is Hannibal's, but he's playing a deep game.) Bev totally wants the d.

It's definitely a very deliberate choice. I think it's meant to make him look a little more old-fashioned and classic—skinny ties and skinny knots are trendy these days, and they don't want him to look like he gives a shit about that. His ties are huge, though.
