"For his initial research into his first assignment, Forrest seeks out enlightenment 'at the gay sex shop near my Dad’s house.' Between this and the glory hole, Mr. MacNeil’s neighborhood sounds like the place to be for man-on-man encounters. "

Netflix will greenlight anything…except more seasons of Hannibal.

You should get Phillip Baker Hall back on the horn. Weren't you gonna co-author his biography at one point?

The Apprentice is the self-portrait of our doom.

I have no idea but I sense that NBC has a whole rolodex filled with rich, evil-maniacal billionaires they can speed dial. I hear Mark Cuban is available!

"it’s more visual than informative" — DING! I've just seen season five of American Horror Story, everybody!

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and call that one of the best gags I've seen in a comedy recently

Lines like these on this show are sustenance to me.

A lot next week's episode must take time at Muskrat Farm, which probably negated the urge to bury the cliffhanger.

Porn or not, I have to imagine if a random TV viewer stumbled onto these episodes with the sex scenes, they'd feel very inclined to watch the rest.

It was either that or I thought Will and Hannibal would run away with each other to Brazil.

There needs to be a Alana/Margot kaleidoscope tie-in product that NBC could sell.

For a brief moment, I seriously considered Will would become Hannibal's life partner equivalent to Clarice Starling's romantic partner.

It's ridiculous scene (in the novel and film) which gave it enough distance to where I can safely remark that it's only a movie…

What's brilliant about this show is that despite knowing source material and Will Graham is safe and largely unmaimed (for now), it's jumbled enough to where they might actually kill Will Graham off if it suited the story.

When Hannibal repeats that familiar phrase, "The soup is more for your sake than mine,"I demurred the familiarity of the situation because, no, Will Graham isn't a sexist pig like Paul Krendler and he doesn't deserve to be feed his own brain…

They never got to film Mason's death, as it was portrayed in the novel. I'm looking forward to seeing that on the show. It has to be coming.

The great thing about Mad Mikkelsen's performance is that Hannibal isn't impervious. Anthony Hopkins never felt in danger in the role. He can try to even the odds, but eventually someone's gonna beat his ass.

Going by his pattern, the fifth episodes seem to be where Bryan Fuller's slow plotting really seems to pay off. Weren't we at the discovery of Beverly Katz's body this time last year?
