The bear an the maiden fare and rains of castemere mentions in mole's town were pretty lame. All this time we've been joking about there being only two songs in westeros, but it was understandable because in order to have more songs you've gotta write the music and that's probably not an expense the show is willing

You can hear it clatter on the floor after Hannibal stabs Will, so he dropped it.

I think a lot of it has to do with that teacup metaphor - the teacup representing the perfect family Hannibal imagined for himself, shattered at the end of season 1 with his framing of Will and the destruction of their friendship and his "killing" of Abigail. Preserving Abigail and presenting her to Will at the end

Yeah, if Hannibal were written in the same vein as Dexter, Hannibal would remain a working psychiatrist helping the FBI solve cases and murdering people on the side for the entire series' run. MAYBE we'd get him behind bars in the final episode of the series, leaving off where the films and novels begin. So glad

If we had never seen Hannibal smell the CANCER on Bella, or smell the corn from the muralist victim, or smell Will's encephalitis, then yeah it would feel like a deus ex machina. But his super human sense of smell has been firmly established and so when he smelled Freddie on Will, I just thought, well of course he

The show is called Hannibal, not Will Graham. As such it would feel kind of cheap or lame if Hannibal could potentially be caught via more traditional means. Maybe mutilating Randall Tier's body was too much, but it didn't really bother me. Will understood Hannibal and knew the only way to fool him would be to do

I don't get it…this show is changing constantly, and far more rapidly and profoundly than most. In just two seasons, they are done with Hannibal as psychiatrist, and everyone knows who he is. Season 3 will look nothing like 1 or 2 (2 barely resembled 1, for that matter). And season 4, with Hannibal imprisoned, will

I don't think she'd have THAT much trouble believing what she's selling, I mean she did give birth to a shadow demon.

I think he just means that it was a really great transition in the books, jumping from "only cat" to Lady Stoneheart. I'll miss this as well, but it's not that big of a deal.

plus the incredibly large gravedigger who pets a dog has a limp, and the hound's leg was injured. And his face is conveniently shrouded so Brienne wouldn't see his scars. Elder talks about the hound's "death," but he also talks about his own "death", making it clear that he's speaking metaphorically. When you add

Did I say he couldn't crush me like a pepsi can? No, but he's still baby faced. The two aren't mutually exclusive.

Kind of baby faced though. Conan Stevens in season 1 was so perfect. It still bums me out he wouldn't/couldn't stick around.

I always thought the Hound's ultimate fate was pretty clear in the books, that (spoilers I guess?) he's living with those monks and is the novice Brienne sees. Weird though because as of right now, it's hard to imagine show Arya not giving him the gift of mercy.

I like how Winston wanted no part in the face eating party going on inside.

TMLO meaning "that means lay off" is so weird and hilarious to me

even better:

Homeland's season 3 plot for Brody felt so heightened and silly for that show's universe, but I think that type of story would have worked really well for 24. Jack using his status as an international criminal to infiltrate the world's most powerful/elusive terror networks, using his exile as an opportunity to bring

Rape will also get you sent to the wall (if you're low born)

You should re-post this every week

I really enjoy how Aiden plays Baelish.
