The nanobots are programmed to only absorb electricity from manmade materials or something like that.

The son reveal bugged me. It's not a monarchy, there's no indication he needs to give an organ transplant, why should we care he has some biological son somewhere? I guess it's a trope that bugs me in general.

Yes.

@Cutlass12:disqus I thought they had the unseen Mayor Gunderson?

Oh I know, but the tagline for the feature is "A guide to what WE'RE barely putting up with this week". But that's sort of irrelevant now. I was joking about that……

Ah right.

Actually, the joke was Toby was Corporate and HR and therefore would stifle Michael's fun.

OH GOD IT REALLY IS SIX SEASONS AND A MOVIE

I'm reminded of hearing there was complaints when Doctor Who was aired opposite Coronation Street (or Eastenders, one of the two) and Michael Grade stated nobody watched both shows.

Hah, that's a really sad idea since Wikipedia.

But the AV Club likes Hannibal I'M CONFUSED

It's a tie-in, the game was conceived along with the show.

Same as Glen Coco for me.

I watched a stream: Yes, he said that.

The pilot originally had a different actress who wasn't signed on for a full season. They recast with Mitchell after they reconceived the character, but the pilot still probably reflects the original non-important version.

@avclub-f2b489efd726db529335e31c83509c73:disqus Three people corrected me, I replied to you and @'d the other two so you'd all know. YOU'LL ALL KNOW!

@avclub-5e550d516b252b5d3e9a239590372fed:disqus @jwood:disqus Ah, right. It was late my timezone writing that.

Ahhhh.
