To be clear I'm not upset about the reveal or the way any other part of it was handled this week at all. Alan Sepinwall's review really nails it when he says the fact that the show didn't really do much to hide it because it wasn't intended to be a "big twist." It's about Elliot's emotional journey.

That was absolutely the last song they should've chosen to end the episode on (even if it was a very pretty rendition of it). There's turning into the skid of "haha Fight Club" comments everyone's been making all along, and there's aiming your car at the tree and flooring it. It really, really took me out of what was…

God damn, this was a great episode. Sad Rick really got to me, though the post-credits bit suggests he hasn't learned anything…. Which is good for us the audience, I suppose.

Mason's line vs Hannibal are a perfect illustration of their characters. Mason's is blunt, vulgar for the sake of vulgar. Empty shock value. Hannibal's saying something just as shitty in a certain sense, but there's a little more subtlety even as he openly tries to provoke her.

As an NBC exec, I would look at the fact that my affiliates are alternately sending me angry emails about this stuff that nobody ever watches ever, or just flat out not airing the show, and do what must be done. I'd look at the fact that it was given three years, and critical acclaim doesn't get you very far in the…

"Why did Fuller choose to leave this world behind for American Gods?"

Fantastic start to an arc I've been looking forward to all season. Armitage is perfect so far.

I'm pretty sure I'll love this as I've enjoyed most of Guy Ritchie's stuff. I feel like it's a shame they feel by have to lean on the branding of a crap old thing, because this looks like so much fun. PERIOD KINGSMAN.

My Two Dads sure got dark when they took it to the big screen…

Right, and honestly, I'd consider her fully on board with Mason's whatever… had she not called Pazzi (after pointing out a bunch that Pazzi was as good as dead if he followed Mason's orders). Had she not been HORRIFIED when Hannibal picked up the phone.

I wasn't being literal. He tumbles out the window, mostly grabs onto Pazzi's body, gets kinda down around the chest, exchanges a meaningful look with Jack and then drops. This presumably doesn't do his already hooked leg any good but I guess the other is fine. Using Pazzi's body as an escape vector is an escalation no…

"The show has lost some of its luster now that everyone knows who Hannibal really is."

If she went all out into Icy Revenge Queen status, Femme Fatale Alana wouldn't call Pazzi to try to warn him. And not react the way she did to hearing Hannibal pick up the phone. Yes, she is a changed person, but the old Alana isn't dead and gone and the new look seems to be a bit of putting on armor so that she can…

I've enjoyed the whole season so far (even the borderline too-languorous third episode), but god damn this one was fun. I liked watching Chiyoh try to manipulate Will into killing Hannibal for her, only to realize that his ~man crush~ on Hannibal meant he'd probably get cold feet. Over the train railing you go, Will!…

It is. The Hitfix post about this has a statement from him saying that he's got other commitments but feels the show is in good hands blah blah blah.

It's 13 weeks from now, the perfect amount of time for a rewatch of S2, or of both if you do two episodes a week!

The noise I made when the Hannibal news made it to twitter was not in the least bit dignified.

Oh, George, honey, no…

This is a tumultuous, emotional three year relationship that has devolved into a cycle not of break ups and make ups but of the other person literally being killed and then brought back to life by necromancers, a little worse for wear each time.

Ralph Fiennes was kind of low key the only memorable thing about that adaptation. I have high hopes for what Armitage will do with it.
