Oh I don't know, maybe he could have whipped up a carrot-ginger soup with crisp "bacon" crumbled on top?

Exactly.  It's easier for them to encourage viewers to watch shows the old-fashioned way, as they air, instead of adjusting how they count views to keep up with how people actually want to view shows.

The color contasts really pop in this show, particularly with Freddie, but her lipstick adds to that jarring, doll-like look — not merely the color, but the way her upper lipline is exaggerated, almost spiky.

Wasn't the dead girl in the dream her?  As in, her nightmare is becoming the gutted doe on the table.  The angle and lighting made it a little hard to tell, but that was my interpretation.

"Hannibal — sponsored in part by ChapStick!"

My thought when she showed up was that Marissa might be the one Hobbs was obsessed with, and/or working with, since her eye color seemed to match that of his victims, unlike Abigail's.  This ep made a point of showing the faces of all his victims, and they all seemed to be brown-eyed girls.

Exactly.  And I'm not clear on why one episode of Hannibal is so terrifying that it can only be replaced by . . . another episode of Hannibal?  I mean, I like the show, but if they want something lighter, they could plug in some sitcoms for a week.  Or maybe Yo Gabba Gabba.

Even without knowing what the pulled episode is about, it is completely stupid of them to pull it entirely instead of playing it at a later date.  Odds are your prediction will come to pass.

The bungled apology was very frustrating, but fit Shawn's character.  Maybe his brain took a shortcut, skipping over the important part about never lying to Juliet about how he feels about her, but his main error was in not hearing her out.  In the fantasy, he actually lets her speak, but when she shows up for real,…

That wig and glasses were totally Tootsie.

Yeah, that whole scene was amazing.  A very realistic drunken argument from Sandra, just the way she rages at him and then stalks off without even completing her thought because she's just drained all her energy and she can't stand to look at him any longer.

His expression as he walked down the hall after saying goodbye was priceless — at least as awesome as his expression upon seeing her parents there.

I don't know why, but I think I'd rather Phil and Stan had more of a Laverne and Shirley vibe.  Actually, seeing them recreate that opening credits sequence might be enough.

If Nina hasn't been playing Stan since he "turned' her, she certainly has plenty of motivation to play him now.  She knows he's lying to her about Vlad, so she trusts him less.  No way she dropped her robe without intending to manipulate him.

They sent Pierce to Pod 6.

Somehow this reminded me of the ATHF episode where trees were ripping Carl's skin off to write notes (or a note).  Wait — what are the Community scripts printed on?

I C what you D'd there.

Yeah, that bathroom was super-shiny sparkling clean!  Bathrooms in newly-finished buildings not yet open to the public aren't that clean!
