As I have absolutely zero faith that NBC will magically pick this up (enjoyable as it was), all I can say is this suitably whet my appetite for "Hannibal." I've never been a fan of the film series (horror is not my thing, psychological horror even less so), but this reminded me that pretty much everything Fuller…

I'm thinking that Jeff didn't bring up blindsiding by accident. The way he kept going on, I'm thinking that he was hoping to flush out the Idol this week in hopes that it would level the playing field a bit.

I honestly hadn't even realized that Jackie was missing from this season until she was mentioned in the opening scene.

This show could definitely use a "Walkabout"-type reveal. I'm enjoying it a lot, but a punch like that is needed to completely hook me.

I can't help but feel like Dichen Lachman is woefully miscast. I think she's an absolutely fantastic actress, but she's completed wasted in the "love interest" in role. She's better off playing a cold-hearted bitch or a wise woman. Not sure what the writers were thinking - when you have someone of Lachman's ability in…

The pee joke was absolutely ridiculous, but totally worth it for Oleg slipping in the urine puddle. Totally lost my shit.

Agreed. They need to either bring her into the fold more, or drop her so she can go do something worthy of her talents.

I'm really, really not enjoying the Morgan character. He's just a little too ridiculous - the whole duffel bag thing took me completely out of the episode.

I love this movie. It's absolutely awful in every way, but it's just so damn entertaining.

It seemed to me that the write-in questions plotline was building up to revealing that the judge had done the first one, in order to get people to start taking advantage of the as-yet-unused law. I'm kind of glad they didn't end up delving too far into it - probably would've been another typical mistrial/judge recuses…
