As far as I can tell from the season preview, they're both going to show up at some point, and Abigail looks visibly older from her last appearance, which - unless Will's imagination accounts for such things - means she probably survived. But don't hold me to that.

You dare to link Hannibal to a piece of disposable pop. How rude.

I loved her green dress in the Season 2 finale.

If I remember right, in the Hannibal novel they manage to track him down through a combination of a photo from a security camera and records of his purchases. She's purchasing high-quality, expensive goods over and over - truffles are mentioned repeatedly in the novel, and Hannibal drinks Batard-Montrachet in the

Everybody's so intent on comparing Hannibal and True Detective, but I find this one much more apt.

I'd ask Alana Bloom, but she's probably not telling.

Even knowing the show's willingness to go in strange and audacious directions, I wasn't expecting this episode. It has the look and feel of a feverish dream on the verge of a waking nightmare, and after the relentless terror and heartbreak of last season's finale, this deliberate, almost meandering premiere was

And NBC of all networks! That's the part that really gets me.

What's more impressive is that the Thursday at 10 slot has, for a while now, been poison for NBC - just about every show they've put in there the last four or five years has failed after only one season (Allegiance being the latest example). Maybe it's that, for once, they recognize that they have something truly

more to the future… can be just a man… we might meet. You'd come to
me and claim me yours, and know that I am your husband. It is a dream I have…"

The hard part about playing chicken is knowing when to flinch.

So, the true end of Allegiance. I don't put much stock in the possibility of another network picking this up (in pure business terms, it makes little sense), but once again I will say that NBC made a(nother) stupid mistake in cancelling this so soon. While I also don't think it earned itself a second season, I was

Duchovny took off at the end of season 7, but he'd been tuning out long before that.

They really need to include this game, it puts all other nominees to shame. So says Mr. Stewart.

The award is a lie.

"Well, gentlemen, by all means, I think we oughta have an introspective moment of silence for poor ol' Tin Tin." *snort*
