Do you think he's self-aware enough about his looks that his username would contain the word "cheekbones"? Maybe some mild wordplay: "chicbones."

They get really snippy when the topic of Micheal Bay is brought up.

Rise, fellow machines! Long live Metal!

Best survival moment of "72 Hours":

The 3D topographic map of the different routes the three teams took on "72 Hours"—a sort of Indiana Jones/Amazing Race travel-via-map line—made the paths look really, really steep, to the point of appearing to be humanly impossible.

It has a bit of "Pirate Master" in it, plus some DNA from the Stan Lee "superhero" competition show.

And to the breakfast *after* having tapped that.

If by "cross-over" you mean Hannibal ingests them all, by all means.

I assumed they were animal eyeballs, meaning they were in fact human.

It is bizarre. She really is aging backwards. Though she doesn't actually look younger, just better.

She has been a catalyst, a shit-stirrer, and a utility-player for the plot, but I do wish we knew more of her character outside of the psychiatric/cannibal proceedings.

I hear ya. But isn't Freddie too coarse? I don't think she has been outright rude to Hannibal, but at some point her grasping nature will irk him.

Or even with something like politeness. Saving face still works when all parties are aware of what's going on, but surely a "recipient of a politeness" can be made to feel happier when he is not aware of his status as such. ("You're just being nice.")

I've always wondered to what extent rhetoric works on experts in the subject. (I.e., Does a trick still work when one is aware of it.)

And he owns a submarine / is a clown fish / is a cyclops.

You know, my brain had not realized that Eddie Izzard never filmed that scene (the killing of the two men). I somehow thought that he had, and that then Will/Dancy had *recreated* it. Heh.

And at such risk. What if Will "remembers"/realizes that Gideon (not GJH) was in the room ["Don't lie to me"]. What if Gideon had survived (now knowing a lot about Hannibal). What if Hannibal's friend Will had been hurt or killed.

Good point about the anticlimactic action and climactic conversations. I like that a lot, too.

Tap a human like a maple tree!!

I was amazed, and then I was momentarily distracted with questions about how on earth the show managed to do that. (Trainer? Spooking the dogs for real? CGI? Some sort of practical effect?)
