You might have seen AV Club's interview with Hannibal creator Bryan Fuller that was posted up a few days ago, here's a quote from that which sums up exactly how I feel about your question:

I think what makes it work in this instance is that they're not trying to be coy about a *current* relationship between pb and marceline.  They're implying a past relationship that ended badly, and the subtext only works to inform the nature of that relationship, whether they were just very good friends (as it appears…

The movie sets up some fairly interesting potential plot points but just kind of abandons them.  Like it being risky having the female Warren attend the exorcism.  Turns out that it was perfectly fine for her to be there.  Oh.

I think Insidious could have been great if they embraced just how dumb the second half was and went full on camp.  We should have had a matrix style fight scene with the demon in the dream world/mindscape.

This is true when we're talking about anything that could be considered subjective.  Human rights are another matter.

And this makes the episode worse?  Being able to predict the ending has nothing to do with the validity or quality of what you're watching.

I really wanted them to get into it, give us AT LEAST 5-10 minutes of them discussing it, because in reality it would be a huge, mind altering revelation that the bible is factual.  Imagine how utterly disappointing it would be to find out that the universe is so tiny and simple that it actually exists on a time scale…

So many movie references, and not one mention of how to train your dragon?

I think the over arching joke of this film is very atheist friendly.  It's like the South Park Scientology and Mormonism episodes, just pointing out how bonkers these beliefs are simply by depicting them.  I half expected a "THIS IS WHAT CHRISTIANS ACTUALLY BELIEVE" subtitle during the climax.

The fact that Tywin knows that Tyrion still hasn't consummated his marriage with Sansa might prove to be a big hint that Shae is already in Tywin's pocket.  She removed their sheets, and if she was still on Tyrion's side she's the only one who should know.

If various creators have shot that theory down, then what IS the explanation?

I was kind of under the impression that though Rainicorns age/mature super fast, they also have super long life spans.

This episode deserves at least a B+ for the lemongrab sequence alone.

I'm really bummed we didn't see the wolf headed king in the house of the undying.  I don't think it would have telegraphed the red wedding either -  when you see the vision, you assume its a figurative visual, and if anything might suggest to you that Robb is destined to prevail.  To then realize that the vision was…

When Orell yells at Ygritte something along the lines of "you won't love him anymore when you find out what he is!" I thought he was talking about Jon being a warg.  Being a warg himself, I just assumed he had a sixth sense about these sort of things.  But I guess he was just referring to Jon still being a loyal…

I'm pretty sure he isn't moved by Davos, says "I've made my decision" (to kill him) and then Melisandre goes, "no he's right."  And then Stannis relents.  So yeah they took the decision pretty much totally out of his hands :(

I was just responding to your statement that if Breaking Bad were on pay cable they "would have done something as crazy as the Red Wedding."

Red Wedding= ****spoilers**** abrupt end to three arguably main characters, and the end to a story line that's been building since season 1 and, for many viewers, represented a lot of potential and redemption for the show's heroes (Robb's rebellion).

Look at the stuff Hannibal gets away with and that is on network TV.  If Breaking Bad wanted to do something like the Red Wedding there is nothing holding it back, other than the fact that it has so few characters that such an event would pretty much have to be a series finale.

ohhh was her resurrection told to us through exposition?  Its been a while since I read it
