It's like the Walking Dead corollary to Poe's Law. Without being blatantly obvious it's impossible to create a satirical examination of the moral dilemmas without being mistaken for a dangerous sociopath.

The problem with shooting Lizzie is it completely disrespects her perspective on the personhood of walkers. Clearly the ethical thing to do was let Mika turn Lizzie so the sisters could be together. Of course as walkers they'd be a hazard so you'd have to give them the Michonne treatment before letting them loose.

Standard Walking Dead episode

I don't think we've seen a self-destructive streak in Hannibal (though he'll obviously take extreme risks).

I'm not sure Hannibal loves Will as much as he finds Will fascinating. That's why he works so hard to be Will's friend, so he can continue to study him.

It's frustrating because you see situation after situation that's perfectly setup for Whedon-style humour, the suggested "Drugs good" line, someone asking why they took all the guys along to the confrontation with the man controlling sorceress, or the two guards they killed, etc.

That's the thing that's killing this show, Buffy, Angel, and Firefly all thrived by being self-aware and making fun of cliches while AoS seems to be playing all the cliches straight.

Of all the Whedon shows and you connected this to “Our Mrs. Reynolds”?!?

Rust as the killer would have been a massive disappointment. The charm of Rust was that he had a very unusual personality and perspective on life, but his darkness came more from nihilism than from within. Any other character you could see falling prey to evil or being evil and hiding it from the outside world, Rust…

People generally have to be attracted to the people they have sex with.

Actually I suspect it is legal cover, if TED gets pissed off at the negative spin the show could get sued, it's easier just to have a blanket 'no trademarked names' policy.

Have to think they're fortunate to have abandoned mullet-man's quest. Among regions to visit during the zombie apocalypse the eastern seaboard is not one of them. I think I'd be headed up to Wyoming or Northern BC.

That was very considerate of Oliver to help train Roy.

Anyone else think Cas might have an issue with Dean's new birthmark?

Well according to wikipedia the main function was to warn other people not to kill or harm Cain. Since Dean didn't notice the mark when saw Cain (or recognize Cain) I'm guessing it won't function as a warning except maybe to Angels or Demons. I have a hunch it might make him immortal instead.

I get the feeling Skye as a uber-hacker is going to go the same way as Skye as a possible mole.

The problem is it isn't a review so much as a gang tackle, the reviewer went in with the opinion that it would suck and looked for every bit of evidence that justified that conclusion. That's not a useful review, it's just playing to the crowd. The tweezers thing was pretty obvious even if you missed the grab (as I…

I seem to be in the minority but I thought this was actually a big improvement.

The thing is the moment the Guv did what he did the prison started shooting at them. So even if at that moment you realize "Oh shit, that seemed really wrong" it doesn't really matter since the battle just started.

Yeah but I'd be more concerned with making sure the crazy psychopath was super deady dead-dead than walking away away and hoping for a more poetic justice.
