I keep forgetting that NBC is doing a Lecter series, and so I'm continually disappointed when click on Hannibal news and it has nothing to do with the Punic wars.

He could have at least ended on "Hallelujah! Holy Shit! Where's the Tylenol?"

Yeah. I don't he had the sort of warmth that Sam needed to make the show work.

Nonsense. I've barely metastasized.

That I am.

But Indiana Jones can’t outrun the explosion of the Death Star.   Of course not, but he'd survive if he could find a refrigerator to duck into when the proton torpedoes hit.

The only thing I don't like about this series is the weird cheekbones they added to Superman's face in the first season. They disappear later, but he looks jarringly different from Animated Superman. (Edit: Oliver mentioned it already. Serves me right for posting before finishing the review.)

Without going into too many spoilers, there's a water filled room with a thin layer of ice that Batman must slowly cross.  If you crack the ice, you fall into the waiting jaws of a great white.  When the ice has melted, there's a point where you're crossing the water on a raft when the shark attacks and you have the

Yes.  At least once.

It would've been great if Picard responded to Crusher's rejection with "Very well, Beverly.  If you need me, I'll be in stellar cartography."

Which makes me wonder why they have mouths at all, but whatever.   Unless their telepathic powers can beam food directly into their stomachs, they probably still need to eat.

There should be an annual "Ted Knight Award (or maybe Knight/ Atherton)" for the finest portrayal of a complete bastard in film and television. I hate awards shows, but I think I'd enjoy watching the nominees in that category.

The hairstyles are a little stylish for Hank & Dean, no?

So why was the Riddler in Belle Reve wearing a power suppression collar?   He has no powers, unless it's suppressing his intellect, which is possible given the way he was written.  Actually, now that I think of it, Mr Freeze and Captain Cold don't have powers either. They both use cold guns.

I've also loved the catalog ad at the end.  "The Rogue's wallet. That's where he kept his card, his dirty little. secret. Short, devious, balding. His name was Costanza. He killed my mother."

Which is kind of a strange thing to say to a being of near omnipotence when you think about it.

Tapestry
This episode usually depresses me because the regrets from my youth are the opposite of Picard's and the sad-sack he grew into by behaving more like young me stings a little.

Maybe it was an upper-decker or maybe it was just very messy.

I think the Gawker system would only make that worse, Rowan. For people who only occasionally want to drop in and make a comment, it's fairly off-putting to need to be promoted by one of the "official" people.

It helps that the characters look like average people
I mean, a guy with Tyres's teeth would never be seen on American TV, unless said teeth were part of a joke.
