Carrie never publicly testified. You remember earlier this season when Saad wasn't allowed anywhere near a courtroom? Same deal with Carrie. If you're CIA they are not going to out you, your identity is protected.

This reviewer shows no mercy, that's for sure. That was the enormous contrivance? More of a nit to pick than anything. Even if Carrie wasn't the officially registered counsel, it's her firm and that's no secret.

Agreed, I find the structure and pace so far to be very similar to past seasons. Season 2 being the exception, that was indeed white-hot throughout.

Agree, I think that's refreshing.

It wasn't leaked. Showtime posted it early on their official channels.

Freddy is not randomly powerful, he is rich, and famous to at least some extent.

I found the misunderstandings to be Frasier-esque! I guess several sitcoms have specialized in this :)

Vulture didn't really report anything, they're referring to one vague parenthetical in a THR article. This is getting blown way out of proportion.

Most likely. I imagine as the show's gotten more popular, the staff has increased, meanwhile Amy's profile has really risen, she is touring, wrote a book, movies, appearances all the time. I don't see how she could be 'all in' on the TV show these days.

Kinda like Ted on Breaking Bad. Though Ted somehow broke his neck slipping on a carpet. The logistics of Chuck's injury are more believable, anyway.

AV Club covered Season 1. I gather it didn't generate enough traffic for them to continue.

It was to get the judge to resign, rather than a long impeachment process otherwise.

He's an actor. Actors act.

Richie acted angry initially with Zak because he was playing the part. Fair point on how the girls disappeared, that's a bit of a hole in the writing.

That 33% number gets whittled down quite a bit when you consider that much of the piracy is from foreign viewers who couldn't have registered on the legit ratings, and also, the fact that Hannibal is not the only TV show pirated. You adjust other TV shows for their piracy too and I'm sure Hannibal's upscaled numbers…

Because.. they weren't nemeses when she started working there?

That really happened.

That's Homeland. Even in the rare time this show offers catharsis (Allison), it's the bare minimum! She never knew what hit her, sigh.

Big fan of this episode. I'm totally OK with Homeland channeling 24, even with all the craziness that comes with it. I find the beats much more impactful than they ever were on 24.

I'm only looking at the TV poll right but this very well may apply to the others too. I really don't care for having so few pre-set choices. You are really leading the votes towards your preferred shows. Either have a reasonably comprehensive list of choices, or don't have a list at all. If you want fair results…
