I watched the end of Grimm on my DVR and man, that looks like a cheesy show, but kinda campy. But not at all a good match for Hannibal.

Only thing that sucks is that these drop on the weekend.

One of my most dreaded tropes is when a sane man is institutionalized and his captors do stuff that turn him insane. I'm afraid the warden is gonna do some fucked-up shit to get info out of Will.

I kinda giggled how it said "12 weeks earlier", since the season has 13 episodes, once per week.

I'm assuming "nice skin" and the method of tricking your victim into being easily thrown into the back of a vehicle.

It was one of the most forced transitions from cereal to "let me hear more about your dead baby" that ever happened.

Also, it seems like this show is embracing the George Lucas thing of giving our character costumes. I'm sure there'll be an action figure with the short shorts gear and then maybe another one when she finds a tutu and another one in a Buckingham palace guard getup. Collect 'em all!

Also, a reference to Chasing Amy, if I'm reading the vibe between Abraham and Tara correctly. She's a lesbian, right?

But there's also an element of these people somehow surviving for 2 years and once he's been in a room with Rick for fifteen minutes, he gets choked out because Rick's got some kind of pheromones that produce a homicidal range or something.

I just imagine there was a backstory where they found a house with running water and she took a steamy shower and then some zombies came and she had to jump out a window naked and grabbed some clothes off a clothesline.

I know it's a) not in the budget b) derivative of Lost c) too late, but this show could really benefit from flashbacks. Not just flashbacks of what these people did, pre-apocalypse, but flashbacks of how they met. It would give the show a freedom to pare down the padding of needless dialogue.

Napalm?

I would figure an exception could be made. Not that we'll ever find out. Atlanta seems like it's as confining as Punxsutawney.

I don't mean this to come off the wrong way, but it's about time this show added a little sex appeal.

re: Those homages

Carl: C'mon, let me hear about your backstory.
Michonne: Okay, but only after we check out every room of this house. I have a feeling this house will be directly related to my backstory.

Yeah, I'm always referencing my recently dead relatives without realizing it.

No, I just mean whenever other characters who have been surviving for the last 2 years run across our heroes, they end up dying or their progress is impeded. Our heroes are bad luck.

Why wouldn't you tell everybody the information you have? It's not like anybody is getting to Washington anytime soon.

Mullet guy and Abraham kinda stick around, but yeah, why not just find a working car down the road and have somebody go back?
