Oh, NBC. First comedy, now a mountain. Is there anything you can't peacock?

What's a Tim Conway?

My official prediction: When Hannibal comes to trial, nothing is going to stick, and it's going to look like he's going to walk free on a technicality or lack of evidence or plot contrivance #3, until there's an announcement of a surprise witness that suddenly makes Hannibal look genuinely nervous. Suddenly, in comes

And he still made it to the bonus round somehow! Oh, Wheel

Ever wonder why there's no Wheel of Fortune recap in the What's On Tonight comment section?

If we see a definitely identified Chilton in the morgue next week, or his head in a box, or something similar (a random body part found won't be good enough, thank you Miriam Lass), I will gladly offer a mea culpa.

Eh, assish. I do agree that the changes they're making to canon are exciting, as far as I can tell, though honestly, I'm not that familiar with canon. (I've seen Silence of the Lambs multiple times and Hannibal once, but I've not read any of the books.)

Reading it, and noticing a distinct lack of confirmation or denials.

It would be gauche. Like I said, it just never really occurred to me that he would actually be dead, but that's probably 20% affection for the character and the way Esparza's been playing him, 20% thinking they wouldn't kill him, because I know he's around for Silence, and 60% me being a cynical viewer who just won't

Possibly Spoilerish Hannibal Thought:

I wrote a paper on those doggies.

And right now (I'm on my phone, which is currently sans AB, so I know; not the point) "10 Foods You Can Still Eat Safely After The Due Date!"

C, upgraded from C-, thanks largely to Todd's writeup. I'm going to assume there's more to the episode than I'm giving it credit for, and that everything will come together in the finale. All I knew when the episode was over was that it didn't make me laugh more than maybe twice, and it irritated me more than it

B+

Whass goin' on on this side?

I read the recap of the TWD finale and wondered if I missed something about Terminus definitely being full of cannibals too—I caught the pile of human (presumably?) remains, but the writeup was pretty much just "CANNIBAL CANNIBAL CANNIBAL". It definitely wasn't as foregrounded as the review would have one believe, or

It's funny, because after having season 1 in my queue for probably a year and a half, and watching it intermittently, I finally finished it a week or so ago. Back in the queue it goes!

"If there's a flaw with Martha"? If there was only one flaw, she might be my favorite companion ever. For me, at least, there are tons of flaws, but the biggest one is inconsistent characterization—compare her mooning over The Doctor in the Family of Blood two parter with her camaraderie/adventuresomeness in "Blink",

I really want to #CollectTheMall.
