"I want those 45 days," could just be his way of saying, "I want to be happier sooner. I want to have not wasted all this time moping about not being with you and pining for someone who was not meant for me. I want to have met you sooner so I wouldn't have wasted all that time being miserable and jealous when I should…

I think it could be Kim too…if the writers remember that joke. Remember when they had a whole subplot about Scooter's real name being Bill only to retcon it to Jeff last season?

I don't think it would be "interesting" I think it would be unnecessarily bleak and incredibly disappointing. I think Ted's wife was probably just feeling bad thinking about Ted at that time and how lonely he was before he met her. I'm sure it came up in discussion how miserable this weekend was for him. She doesn't…

They did have excellent chemistry. I wouldn't be surprised if this was the audition scene that got Cristin Milioti cast.

Oh yay somebody finally commented on that. I don't know what to make of Dennis' genuine declaration of love for Dee any other show I could tell myself it wasn't meant to be incestuous…but this is iasip and dennis/dee incest jokes are a running gag. I also think it works well with Dennis' narcissism that he'd fall in…

Hey no need to make the show seem like less than it is to defend the movie. It's good enough and it's just starting out that I'm sure it will have its own legacy years from now. It could very well eclipse the movie eventually and be the go to portrayal of Hannibal Lector until the next new adaptation comes along…

I just want commentaries on all the episodes. Some behind the scenes stuff on how they do the murders/style the food and that much needed blooper reel we've been promised….and a season 2 sneak peek.

@avclub-de14767859f7ab4a57feb39d4a709f86:disqus This might be the first Bryan Fuller show to get a 3rd season! Yay!

So that takes care of that. If we don't get Clarice we'll get a suspiciously similar substitute.

How perfect is it that Carrie Mathison is married to Will Graham?

Community of all things has made it 5 seasons so I don't think Hannibal making it to season 4 is that impossible and if NBC decides not to renew after season 2 Bryan Fuller has already said several other networks have shown interest. If it keeps up this quality I think it can make it to at least 5 years even if it's…

I think Hannibal just left it in his sink but I'm sure the dvd commentary (there better be commentary) will reveal all.

So who else started Red Dragon a couple of days ago to fill the impending void?

That's depends on if the people making the Clarice Starling show get over themselves.

I don't think there's even a question of if Will remembers. He absolutely remembers. That look on his face that he gave Hannibal at the end said it all.

Well I gained a lot of respect for Freddie Lounds with this episode.

I was hesitant to give this show a second chance after abandoning it 8 episodes into season 1 out of boredom but I'd heard this premiere was an improvement over the previous 2 seasons so I decided to give it a shot (out of boredom once again). Things still felt a little slow to me but that's just all shows on AMC…

And she's also creative and seems like a really nice/cool person (based on harmontown and this feels terrible). They also seem very happy together. Doesn't that just burn? There's only so much happiness in the world it leaves less for you!

That's what I mean. She's not a clone they just used her dna.

I think Mrs. S is the Original.
