"The pea-sized lungs and heart, saturated with Armagnac from its drowning, are said to burst in a liqueur-scented flower on the diner's tongue. Enjoy with a good Bordeaux."

I'm very much enjoying the image of her as the only sane one. Hannibal, Will, and Jack are playing such completely crazy and implausible games (massively entertaining ones, mind), and the look on her face in response to them is wonderful. It's like she's a stand-in for the viewers, parachuted in from the real world…

Anyone else find this film oddly disjointed? It felt doubled itself- the first half seemed like an exercise in such dystopian weirdness that the characters weren't at all relatable, while the second told a much more normal (albeit still weird) story. It was good, but didn't quite come together for me. Mind you, I…

Damn fine episode, that. Having said that… I'm pretty much at peace with the lack of realism on the show, but c'mon, FBI! Are you really going to stand there debating which animals' bite marks most closely match injuries without once mentioning looking for, y'know, tracks? That should be a priority when you're…

Damn, I managed to read something which spoiled this just hours before watching it…

A total geekness zone. In the best way.

I had to google that to confirm that it was true. Because, yeah,

Man, I'm all kinds of excited. Although part of that excitement is nervousness about how they handle the fact that

I think it took me at least the course of the first episode to get into it- the opening scene didn't grab me that hard and felt a little like a gimmicky procedural. But once the character relationships started to move into place, the season basically just built and built- I found the ending downright astonishing.

Ah, if only the internet existed…

Man, Indian porn viewers really don't reciprocate Pakistan's affections.

Extraordinarily.

Nice trailer, but what is up with this 360p malarkey? I'm sure they could squeeze in a few more pixels…

For the plots, basically. It's fun to watch things move into place, and previous episodes built up a nice sense of threat and action- which was mostly missing from most of this episode. That leaves only the characters, and that's why I didn't find it at all compelling.

¿Por que no los dos?

"A Kiss to Build a Dream On" might make certain members of the congregation think of shooting mutants in a post-apocalyptic wasteland… not that that's necessarily a bad thing.

Holy Christ, Dan, if someone wants to know how to clean a dildo, would it really be too much trouble to just tell them how to clean a dildo?

"yet quaint enough to think a powerful man would be ruined if Magnussen
were to reveal some sexy letters he’d written to a young woman just
underage. (That’s sadly something that would be more believably held
over the young woman in question—a nasty dynamic that’s remained
unchanged since it appeared in the original…

Heard of and seen. I still like that they did it, though. We can have weird stuff on TV more than once every… 25 years(?), I think.

Maybe they filmed it in 360p.
