Pedants? Obnoxiously persnickety book readers?

so *that* was the siren.

Tyrion's scenes were golden…very glad they brought out Oberyn's first visit to Lannister land. Strong stuff and it made me feel "emotions."

For the super accelerated pace, the scene was effective enough. You would need half an ep to stoke the tension of the (truly excellent) Sansa POV scenes from Storm o' Swords, and that ain't happening in 10-episode GoT land.

I almost caught 'teh gay' from the naked man ass shown. Then a split second later Carice Van Houten lounging in a tub and I was saved!

Show them the human mural scene. They'll be hooked, or in stitches, or something along those lines.

The Verger stuff worked for me well enough as it cemented Will and Hannibal's twisted relationship..plus Pitt and Isabelle were great. I suppose having to speed up the narrative and get to the pig scene this quickly was a bit jarring, but such is the price of a dozen ep season.

Is Pitt slated to be on next season? Would be a shame to bench him and Isabelle until we (hopefully) reach the 'Hannibal' season of Hannibal in a few years.

American TV: You can have the most grotesque violence portrayed, but an unmarred human ass ruffles peoples' feathers.

Next year is going to be interesting for the show, as it's a bit of uncharted territory post-Mason, pre-Francis if Fuller's season-by-season synopsis holds up. Assuming it'll be the aftermath of Hannibal getting caught, and Fuller (SPOILER)..

Watched at 10 pm my time, but maybe having the scene half in shadows saved them some censorship grief. Though if you want, Fuller's Twitter feed has a shot of Pitt in full face-shredding make-up.

Greatly enjoy your reviews, Molly. No English lit dissertation parsing themes out of mid-air or wrangling every bit of so-called symbolism from the proceedings. Thank you!

it's not too much to ask for the mystery presented in S1 (Charlie saying, "Guys, where are we?") to be answered in a satisfactory fashion. They Mitch Albom-ed the ending in my view, and expected the viewership to swallow it.

I need to watch the Shield. Hear all the time about that killer finale.

We'll grant you that, but the new Transformers movie is fair game!

No if he's gone that far he's filled with rage at Michael Bay and has told at least one person that Bay is raping his childhood.

Wrath of the Titans didn't do it for you?

No that it matters but how did Bay land on Megan Fox for the role of April O' Neil? (Phrasing, etc). Cannot even get het up about TMNT, but the new turtle design is creepy. Too humanoid by a nose.

Yep..was sure we were going to get a few brown notes in there.

No Shia is an indie actor now…he doesn't do big budget anymore, baby.
