Do we know who David Tennant's playing yet? I know he quit his regular acting gig in the UK this year, so I wonder if they're introducing him in the finale this year in order to play a regular/recurring role next season…

So is Alison going to side with Leekie? Cosima and Sarah aren't, but she seems like she might disappear into denial over it — particularly if they can help make the Ainsley thing go away (or if they hold it over her).

Alison's got control issues, She'll never feel safe unless she has things exactly as she wants them, and gains power from that. Letting Ainsley die was a way of reasserting that power, ensuring the safety or herself and her family, and a dare to Ainsley to confess. It didn't provide Alison with a normal life, but it…

I love the Totem Pole which just couldn't shut up. So funny.

He wrote one episode earlier as well.

Of what I've seen so far, that episode was definitely my favourite.

I think we're not meant to mind because he's… well, fat. And that he has ridiculous porn, and that's emasculated and cuckholded. It undoes a little of the respect I had for the show in terms of its feminist credentials, and then to make a male character the but of jokes because he fails to live up to patriarchal…

I thought the green was interesting — and did you catch the leaf earings? The show uses red and blue like early Dexter did; Red were killers, Blue were less dangerous, or killers in hibernation. Green really mixes that up. 
Laura Jean Chompski is such a blessing to this show's colour map. Red hair, blue eyes — and so…

I love the way she pressed the tip of her nose up against the glass just so she could shove her mouth through the hole in the glass. Because the woman will want to help her more if she covers more of the window.

The part where she tries to hide the gun by shoving it between her legs while still sitting on the bed was amazing. I had to watch that twice.

Can I buy a vowel?

Unless I'm very much mistaken, Opus is talking about The Crash being a mess, not Naked Time.

I, unfortunately, agree. Though perhaps not to the same extent as ZENPEN.

Fuck Hodor. Duh.

Go Awaaaaaay.

I got the vibe that she's being effectively lured over to the dark side. Which would be a pretty great avenue for the character to take, though I'm not really too attached to her. I could see someone who was not liking that plot very much.

My current theory is that, since this plot line has been largely comic, it'll turn out to be someone who's introduced in the same episode, or even moment, that they're revealed. So,

Such a good show. I miss the open threads.

Wait, wait, wait. Is this the Ryan Murphy pilot that was being shopped to HBO? "Open", I think it was called…

I wasn't really paying attention to some of the earlier parts of the episode — I found this episode a little too intense, in all honesty — but I took that final conversation to indicate that she knew Hannibal had killed her attacker, and that's why she was continuing to provide for him as his therapist.
