Remember, these are only 11-minute episodes. Most AT's end rather suddenly.

I have faith in Guest, he rarely lets a great talent go to waste. And honestly, from a story-perspective, the lessened presence of Monkey made some sense. Since the fam took the trip together, and Pete had his own story, there wasn't quite as much room for Monkey. But even if he didn't have any lines, I'd be satisfied…

I think Monk's reactions have become my favorite part of this show. 

Almost everyone was on-point tonight. Nothing got me quite like the lid-loosener line. Matt Walsh truly does get to shine with his schlub shtick on this show.

Even if the plot points were predictable, Trejo really sold it. And the tag in the coffee shop was unexpected, and actually colored the whole episode a little differently. Sure, the show might only be aiming a few notches above middle of the road, but it's satisfying, which is fine with me.

Nothing in this episode could quite top the rooster squawking "Destroy Gretchen!" 

What a goddamn arresting episode of television. I find myself coming away from Hannibal breathless and speechless more often than not.

MVP of this episode: Martin Starr or Samm the Ma'am Levine?

I just wanted to say: I watched this whole series last year during a real rough patch in my life, and you all know the rest of that story. But now that these reviews are back around, I took the time to read all the season 1 & 2 reviews, and I'm looking forward to watching, reading, and discussing with you all in the…

Allow me to take off my "Holy shit Game of Thrones" skirt and put on my "Pretending Game of Thrones doesn't exist" pantsuit and say that I'm loving this series so far, and I thought this episode was a great movement forward. A series this understated is hard to grade on a weekly basis, for me, but like Enlightened,…

Hole. Lee. Shit. I'm pretty sure my mouth was just agape for the entire second half of the episode. Then in the last five minutes it just got painful.

I think is better than last week's, the wackiness is toned down some (mostly due to Gina Gershon v Maribeth Monroe), and it feels a little tighter. Plus, Bobcat throws in a nice tracking shot that actually caught my eye, something the directing on this show hasn't really done. It's nothing huge but it was a nice touch.

Pretty good episode. I guess I'm a little perplexed by complaints about this being too "sitcom-y", I mean, isn't that the point?

Maslany's one of my favorite actors on television right now, anytime I get to read or listen to her talk about the show, I take it.

Even as a big Fuller fan, I had been avoiding this one, mostly because I wasn't sure what to expect. Unsurprisingly, I loved this pilot, and I'm looking forward to watching and reading every week. Kudos to you, Les.

At the rate this show keeps notching up the terror, I'm becoming scared of the mere THOUGHT of the season finale.

I thought the conversation Du Maurier and Hannibal had about their complicated relationship and how it related to the Hannibal/Will relationship was a great way of discussing the issue, but I would wager that people like Sutcliffe don't question it because of their immense respect for Hannibal and the open recognition…

Finally saw this with my little sister today and I have to say, I enjoyed it quite a bit.

This…actually sounds like fun. Might have to check it out.

I thought the trimmed down and excised commercials really gave this episode a boost (thanks, Office finale!). How fitting that our most action-packed episode yet sprinted along with just a small handful of breaks to take us out of the action.
