I can't believe there aren't more people here. I really love this show, and I'm so happy to have Daniel back. I cried like a baby when he woke up and started goofing around with Janet. If Hannibal scared the crap out of me every week, this show is going to wreck me emotionally every week.

"Bass O Matic" ice cream?

I'm never completely joking when I say I've never loved a man as much as I love Led Zeppelin (and I love men). I've made peace with whatever character flaw this points to.

I used to actually work for J. Peterman a million years ago, when I was in college — a stint at the catalog in Lexington, KY, and then later at the flagship store in Lexington. I concluded that the pretentious descriptions were just to disguise the fact that the merchandise was overpriced crap.

I just saw him at Cain's Ballroom in Tulsa Thursday night. It was amazing. As far as I'm concerned, he can talk shit about my own mother now.

What you've described (gently poking holes in "perfectly fine" ideas) is exactly what I mean by his influence. I took that casual remark about making the ad from the kid's perspective to mean that Don knew Peggy was capable of something better but, because of the position he's currently in, can't come out and say

In 1999 I was working in retail before I started graduate school and a customer (some geezer local politician) said "good girl" when I bagged some bit of crap he bought.

I too like how Don subtly (or maybe not so subtly) used his influence to get Peggy to ditch the original campaign. I sat on my couch and said, damn, Don is like the Hannibal Lecter of advertising.

Will: "…they said you was hung!"
Hannibal: "And they was right!"

Last season, when Hannibal was watching Will's dogs, I said out loud, "Damn he must really be invested in Will to drag his ass out to Wolf Trap from frigging Baltimore."

Holy shit, Lou is my boss.

The only thing I didn't like about the episode was that exoskeleton thing, because it reminded me too much of the monster costume thing from that awful movie The Village.

Nobody looked better in short shorts than Peter Scolari. Not even Tom Hanks.

Oh lord, add A Royal Affair to that viewing while you're at it.

My only regret about this show so far is that we never got Hannibal/Bedelia sex. I wanted that to happen so bad. Sweet Jesus.

Just taking it would be rude, and God forbid that.

I never imagined Chilton would nearly make me forget about Bedelia. Chilton 4 ever.

In the same vein, an acquaintance of mine said to me, "how does Hannibal eat all that organ meat and not have gout?" Just accept.

"set-a-give?!"

I would and I have no problems with this. Except now I've decided Chilton would also have to join in.
