No more questions about whether or not this is a joke!

It also adds a great new dimension to some of the moments between Jack and Will in Red Dragon, namely Crawford's inevitable guilt when he realizes he set Will up to be Hannibal's chew toy.

Gah, so many thoughts about what seems the season's best so far.  It was like a thrilling mission statement of what the show might end up being that tested the status quo in such fun ways (which is an odd thing to say about a show with barely 12 hours screened).  After weeks of speculation, the whole episode is a…

No love for Bart making Homer drive while he eats pizza?  It seemed abusive and encouraging at the same time!

On the one hand, it seems unspeakably stupid.
On the other hand, Matt Fraction and Jonathan Hickman are writing for the show next season.

I was gonna say!  I think the story was also borrowed for a Tiny Toon Adventures where Plucky has to help some naive green alien duck kids with some catastrophic threat to their homeworld after they hear him boasting.  Children learned a valuable lesson about humblebragging thanks to that darned duck.

CURDS AND GRAVY OVER FRIES IS PEOPLE

Not quite.  Red Dragon makes it clear that Will is traumatized by the extent to which he can empathize with the killers he pursues, but he keeps a pretty tight lid on it.  No mention of encephalitis and no stag.

I think that, in this particularly well-written and paced episode, the late (?) Dr. Gideon had the line of the night with his oddly endearing "It's like remembering something from your childhood that you're not sure is your memory or a friend's memory . . . but then you realize sadly it's just some photo in an old…

Very excited about the From Hell Companion.  Eddie Campbell, in addition to being a great artist, is a pretty aces writer in his own right.  Plus, between Hell, Snakes and Ladders, The Birth Caul and maybe some other stuff, he's in the running for Alan Moore's most dependable collaborating artist and surely has some…

Did they ever say they were going to have Rocket talk in the movie?  I could see him just glowering at people and being a bitey bastard non-space Raccoon for the whole thing.

BARREL ROLL!

You're certainly doing your job today, Mr. Sun.

Do you think the pharmacist from that one Hannibal had a rooster telling him to destroy Gretchen Speck too?

I have faith in B. Fuller but I also wonder if they couldn't truncate his proposed S3 and S4 into one season.  Not that I don't love Red Dragon but I want this story to be able to have some degree of closure, even if he doesn't get to do all of it!

David Bowie could be a solid Uncle Robert but I'd be very happy if they nabbed Jared Harris.  They both played Warhol the same year and his first guest spot on FRINGE owed more than a bit to LAMBS.  And he's awesome.

This is great news that I was not expecting at all!  Hooray!

I didn't go as far as thinking that her voice was being copied by creepers, but I remember the odd pitches and affected tones definitely upsetting me when I first saw this as an eight-year-old who obsessed over falling into the dimensional rift under his bed.

But Jennifer Jason Leigh is surprisingly chill!
