The Gospels were written in King James' English; why would I care how it translates into some Middle Eastern mumbo jumbo?

The Bible doesn't mention Lens Flare, so I am already set to boycott.

It is hard to know exactly how Capaldi plays out, but I'm guessing that Charles Dance would be a brilliant foil. He is inherently terrifying, but has much greater range than is commonly appreciated. Assuming that he is becoming available, this would be a great opportunity.

I mostly (but not entirely) disagree, but it's not appropriate to get into it until next week. It seems you and I have fundamentally different feelings about Simm's Master. I don't understand how anyone can't love him.

Huh? The follow up doesn't provide a "good payoff?" I suppose we'll get into that next week, but I can't imagine where you're coming from.

“What’s good about sad?” “It’s happy for deep people.”

To see a comment repeated, I would hope for it to be well written, clever, and original, and to make a solid point. Or at least to make sense and be semi-readable. This mess doesn't really meet any of these criteria.

Will he begin collecting rocks and minerals during his convalescence?

I pray that Mythbusters is kept miles away from this show. That would just be depressing. I can think of a dozen absurdities that are far more egregious than whatever explanation they offer for Chilton's survival.

Six years removed, I barely remembered the movie before this refresher. Yet I vividly remember specific episodes I haven't seen for 20 years. I was considering rewatching the movie, but now realize my time would be much better spent rewatching a couple of random classic episodes.

Huge exit wound through the back of the skull? No, there was no visible exit wound, and the back of his skull was unscathed.

How can I ever take seriously a writer who appreciates neither Mounds nor Almond Joy?

Seriously, Hannibal gently laid the drugged Chilton on the floor, stood up, and confidently walked to the door. End of act. Was any viewer anywhere the least bit surprised as the next act opened?

I was having a mental block trying to think of precedents for this "magical power" of invisible movement, and the best I could come up with were Lost and Wodehouse's Jeeves. Lazlo is much better.

The interviewer navigated this well. He opened what I imagine he planned to be an entire line of questioning, which Fuller shut down with a simple sentence about Serpico. So it's "Okay," a laugh, and an entirely different direction for the interview.

Mads Mikkelsen is one of the very few that could pull off wearing a cape, but alas…

She played it more gracefully than Jaime Lannister, though her prosthetic is much cooler than any Maester of Westeros has yet proven capable of devising.

That final Mental Hospital exchange was beyond brilliant. The shot was framed in the shadows, as Graham menacingly advised Chilton to "shed light." And the honest question, "Why did Hannibal not just kill you," was answered so simply, and Chilton's silent, haunted response was perfect.

Chlumsky was incredible. Her initial recounting of her ordeal looked and sounded like a vision from the narrative of an alien abductee. "All I could see was light." "He told me exactly what he would do," and then conducted surgery. The "Ripper" she saw was the classic image of the big-headed gray aliens.

I was nine at the time, and can vouch that it was positively brilliant (for nine-year olds).
