I thought Hannibal incorporated human lungs into the "protein scramble" he made for Will, but maybe it was people sausage.  Will's dogs have certainly snacked on Hannibal's sausage.  (I'm too tired to think of a non-weird way to phrase that.)

Spinal fluid vinaigrette?

I loved that line as well — maybe I shouldn't love it when the show winks at me that hard, but just the fact that Alana trusts Hannibal so implicitly speaks volumes to how well she's been manipulated, and how that affects her judgment, with Abigail, and everyone else.

Agreed that Hannibal is genuinely concerned for Will, but I do think he's manipulating him as well.  Maybe less in a "family business" kind of way (Hannibal probably sees his killings as artistic rather than business-like anyway) and more in a "I would like for my friend to share more of my interests" way.  Telling…

I hope she's not leaving — I like her!  Maybe she had a commitment (movie?  play?) and couldn't be in this ep or the next.

His saying "That's one unhappy ending" made me wonder if there was an opening in the massage bed further down . . . which in turn made me wonder if he'd gotten The Theon.

Liked the Psych-out of that scene, where he can't get the plastic wrap off it and just bites through.

I want to get September's Notebook, but that's the kind of book I'd rather get a look at first, just in case it's thin as a pamphlet and/or the size of a pad of Post-Its.

It may as well be, considering all the ladies sporting the King's Landing strip.  Or maybe they all have minimal body hair, since they never have terrible winters.

@avclub-1343022fc4003e2cf16f0368302d86e8:disqus Wait, the faces are carved in?  I thought the trees just grew that way.

Interesting how Joffrey wasn't even pretending to think he's a Baratheon, since he said he could put a Lannister baby inside her.

@avclub-5c6ca78a2f7d9b4db3d3bb67614ffa00:disqus Aside from being evil/kinky, I suppose Melisandre figured it was an obvious blood source.  I mean, Gendry's presumed engorgement is the only reason we didn't see more of him, right guys?

@avclub-aa8199204bbd84f584fe5957410e9e71:disqus I applauded when Sam stabbed the White Walker and it shattersploded!  And when he ran off without picking up the dragonglass sperhead/dagger, I yelled "I rescind my applause!"

People I'd love to see host, many of whom probably won't:

Gather all three to have a J Mascis-off?

If Sudeikis came back to be on What's Up With That, they'd need to get Hader back too — unless they subbed in actual Lindsey Buckingham, which they could do, since he was game enough to show up while Hader was playing him.

They couldn't bring that sketch back.  It looked like a rabbit.

After that perfect sendoff, bringing Stefon back would only diminish him.  Although I did actually wish that they had filmed an awkward-back-of-the-bus scene to complete the reference/tribute to The Graduate.  Maybe with a Humba rolling down the aisle.

It's possible that a scene with them was cut, though I noticed that there were significantly fewer commercial breaks during the 'live' airing to make up for the fact that the Office finale ran 15 minutes into Hannibal's airtime.
