Everyone says that about the Eric Serra score, yet I like the damn thing. I'm not sure if it's nostalgia, but I think it's a legitimately good score that contextually comments of the end of the Cold War. Otherwise, I don't think tracks like "It's What Keeps You Alone" wouldn't be on there.

It helps that he never made more than two. Seriously, though: Dalton is a terribly underrated James Bond. Those films were always undermined by the fact that they weren't released when not many accepted the idea of a tough, vulnerable Bond.

24 just learned the joy of shooting scenes in rock quarries that substitute for foreign lands. If only they realized that Doctor Who figured this trick out about 40 years ago.

I can totally see Bryan Fuller digging Cube.

How about that preview though? If NBC needs to attract viewers by continually teasing "Red Dragon" in the previews, then so be it. The "rolly chair of fire death" moment seemed to be a deliberate graphic match to the shot from "Manhunter."

Is Freddie….? Did Will enjoy his meal? Is Will actually Francis Dolarhyde? Just when you think you're on stable ground with this show, Fuller and Co. continually pull the rug out from under you.

All the Graham-Hannibal shippers just got some new ideas for their slashfics in this episode

They really didn't try with the season, did they?

Season 3 is absolutely the most underrated. I just finished rewatching this season and I forgot how much of a roll the writers were on after the show ended the Salazar plot line. There's so many great plots/moments in that backhalf: Chappelle, the Chandler Plaza Hotel storyline, Jack killing Nina, the Saunders/Bauer…

Someone somewhere mentioned it would have been interesting to have introduced Walker in earlier season, like season 6. That would have been an interesting dynamic.

Paul Schulze is devastating in that scene.

Yeah, I think I'm a minority but season 7 was a real late-renaissance for the series after six. I mentioned this in an earlier comment, but the show was always at its most successful when it portrayed Jack Bauer as human. The last scene in season three I've always considered a real standout.

I feel like Season 5 was when the show started recycling its greatest hits and the results slowly diminished. Once the show became a wall-to-wall action series, it lost that emotional resonance that Sutherland really sold in the early years. I just finished rewatching the third season and the back half of it is…

There's a shot. There's a shot. And there's another shot. You're getting me hammered here before I know it!

I feel like this is the perfect opportunity for a giant spider to appear in the third act. Don't let me down, Superman Producers!

Guess who isn't having the Best Week Ever?!

Someone on Twitter remarked that this is the typical line on Hannibal. Is that fair? I think so, especially after Chilton's "I’ve got a partially eaten man in my guest room and corpses on the property, and you threw up an ear" line from last week.

Absolutely. There was a silence where the laugh track should have been on the line, "I’ve got a partially eaten man in my guest room and corpses on the property, and you threw up an ear."

Especially with this week's episode's and anything involving Chilton. Reitzell's jazzy score for him was just about the most conventional he's done on the show to date, not that it's a bad thing. It underlined Esparza's bleakly humorous reaction to Chilton being framed.

Fuller's comment about Terry Serpico gives me hope, but realistically I know we've probably seen the last of Clinton on this show. Then again I thought the same thing about Gideon about this time last season. Clinton's likely a goner though.
