Brian Fuller has altered how Will Graham discovered who Hannibal really was, which to me is a much bigger structural change than killing off some of the characters. Like you I'm looking forward to a fresh interpretation of the Red Dragon story.

It's been awhile since we've seen Will and his nightmare sweats. We've been watching Will play this long con with Hannibal so well that we've forgotten how incredibly difficult it must be for him to sit across from Hannibal in his office and at the dinner table and put on a facade. The psychic stress must be…

Yeah, Gaad's threat didn't make much sense to me. It felt like the ploy of a desperate man. Let's say he made that info public. Was it reasonable to expect the U.S. would respond by expelling members of the diplomatic staff in Washington? Wouldn't that invite the Soviets to the same in retaliation? Such a move would…

Was anyone reminded of Gorbachev by the port wine stain on Philip's cheek that was part of his disguise when they grabbed the truck driver?

Is Nina's comment to Stan that Arkady is trying to get permission to read her into the illegals program another lie to further reel in Stan? Although she's done a lot to redeem herself since her initial betrayal, I find it hard to believe that Arkady would allow her open access to their most top secret program in the…

I don't know how much of what you say about SAG contracts factors into the decision regarding White Collar, but you are mistaken when it comes to why Justified is ending after 6 seasons.

Yes, Peter was out of prison fairly quickly, but his imprisonment was not without consequences. The fallout was felt throughout this season. Neal is in a much different place now than he was at the beginning of this season.

Not Mozzie. He doesn't play well with others. Neal, on the other hand, would be great as a political "fixer". Would love to see what he could do with Bridgegate.

I'm all for the show finding ways to better include Elizabeth, but they've never really managed to do that. Her primary role has always been to be Peter's sounding board on Neal. Outside of that, attempts her to integrate more into the story line have had limited success. (And still trying to forget Quantico Closure.)

Thanks, Kenny. I appreciate your work in recapping this show over the seasons,

Neal fled to Cape Verde because Kramer had a hard on for him. Kramer was determined to haul Neal back to Washington where he could keep an eye on him, until he could dig up additional charges to file against Neal and send him back to prison. So Neal is right. The game is rigged.

"But there was potentially more intrigue in just how WC would create stories that suit Neal’s newfound freedom. The FBI director’s naysay feels like a copout, but not purely tossed off like Peter’s speedy deduction that the agency is all bureaucracy (it is a Bureau, after all) and he best stay where he belongs at…

Operation Mentor was concocted by Fowler solely to keep tabs on Peter. Pretty sure that all went away when Fowler's activities were revealed and he was dismissed from the FBI.

Yeah, I also love that Elizabeth never even considered giving up her job at the National Art Gallery for Peter.

I have a notion that at some point Peter is going to have to make a choice between Elizabeth and Neal.

Bridget looks like she could possibly take down an FBI agent in hand to hand combat, unlike a lot of movies (Soderbergh's Haywire being a rare exception) where we're supposed to believe a woman who looks looks like she weighs all of 90 pounds is taking down 200 pound baddies.

I wonder if the trimming of the season from 16 to 13 episodes has also contributed to the rushed feeling of the last couple of episodes. They had all ready broken the season and begun filming. Surely the loss of 3 episodes must have forced them to try to compress the season long story arc into the remaining episodes.

I found the early part of this season to be very good and it looked like season 5 was shaping up to be perhaps the show's best. Each of the early episodes had a good dramatic storyline and the introduction of David Siegel added fresh energy to the show. I was sorry to see that character go.

No word yet. Fans pestering Ted Linhart on Twitter, but he's not going to say anything until there's official word one way or the other.

The evidence should have been bagged, tagged, and labeled on site as it was collected by an investigator wearing gloves. Upon arrival at the FBI all items should have been immediately logged in. Basically just grabbing everything as is and piling it on a table in an open conference room means the chain of custody is…
