If the show taught us anything, it's that his default type of interaction is cannibal-related puns.

John Noble is my favorite thing.

After looking through the episode summaries, I can say that episodes 7, 11, 12, and 13 are pretty much completely about the Ripper. 8 is procedural but very Hannibal heavy. 9 and 10 are half-procedural/half-serial stuff. (10 is also terrifying, by the way. Like, check under your bed and don't sleep that night…

Also, Hannibal season 1 is now available streaming on Amazon Prime, so with all the zeal of a new convert (see here), I bring you some old time televangelism:

I'm going to throw in a little defense of the Doctor and Rose's jerkass behavior in Tooth & Claw. It seems to me that's actually one of the major themes of season 2. The first season was the Doctor and Rose falling in Doctor/Companion love, and then season 2 is, "Wait, this might not be the healthiest relationship in…

Rake Rakington? Yes, it's a real name, why do you ask?

I'd write something using the phrase "Gimme, gimme, gimme," but that's just a gimme.

Scruffy jail Will: "I just want my dogs back!"

Is that the (ridiculous, awesome) plaid suit Hannibal wore in the trailer? I'm hoping Hannibal has a new outfit each episode this season.

I don't think it was an option. It should have been.

AVClub, I thought I couldn't love you any more than I already do, but then you turned me on to Hannibal. You were all like, "Everyone watch this shizz it's so great!" and I was all, "Pshaw, that looks like garbage." But I gave in and watched, and you were dead right. I haven't fallen this hard for a show since…

Aww, come on, the sword fight is great. It's a fightin' hand!

The Brony Health Group still uses BMI calculators? Never mind, I'm out.

Man, this episode was so good that even Chang killed. Brilliant.

We're killers, Albino Horse Eye.

I just mentioned Barty Crouch on the AVClub two days ago after having forgotten about him for many years. That's weird, right?

Gaston is indeed the douchebag from Beauty and the Beast. Thus the revulsion.

Big yyyyyyyup to Gaston. And I feel as icky about my attraction to him as I do about my crush on Mads in Hannibal. I mean, Hannibal's a cannibal and all, but Gaston throws books into puddles. Gross, dude.

The criminally-insane son of a brutal politician with a very similar name? Has to be Barty Crouch, Jr., no?

It's impressive that, when reading an article about Louis C.K. and Charlie Kaufman, my first reaction was "YESSSSS JOHN HAAAAAWWWKES"
