I caught part of "Red Dragon" earlier this week (which I still haven't seen all the way through) and I was struck by how cartoonishly evil Hopkins was.  Mikkelsen is so reserved in his portrayal of the doctor (admitted, when he is still wearing his person-suit most of the time), it made me want to see what this show

Yes.  A friend of mine told me that theory and it was so good I haven't wanted to bring it up.  But you brought it up.  (My friend's theory isn't that Hannibal killed her necessarily, only that she's dead and the "sessions" take place in Hannibal's mind.)  

You mean the imps— excuse me, brownies— played by Rick Overton and Kevin Pollack?  How is that not common knowledge?

I've been thinking about this and my theory is that while Will and Jack and the team are in the office looking at the dead doc, Georgia is back at Will's place breaking in, calming the dogs and then crawling under his bed.  Will comes home hours later and by then the dogs are fairly calm except for the one who warns

It's been awhile since a good when you someone eat it reference. 

Oh sure, the purge always starts out fun and then some asshole has to take it too far.

The only thing that really bugged me this episode:  In the dinner scene with Hannibal and the neurologist, why were the window blinds behind Hannibal at different levels?  That seemed weird to me.

She's still alive, and they said with treatment she'd probably recover.  I fully expect to see a scene with Will and/or Jack interviewing her about the doctor's murder and for her to say some variation of, "It was like I was watching someone else cut his face off."

They'll bring her back. 

It's the makeup for Hannibal's pantomime, Tartuffe the Spry Wonder Dog.

You didn't get a second opinion about something called a "brain cloud"?

The opening killing implied a level of forethought that the rest of the show didn't seem to keep up.  But Georgia was more like a Korean water ghost than a character.  She was able to stalk Will from Vermont to Virginia, even sneak under his bed through a room full of dogs, but in the scene at the end she barely

One of the rules seems to be being a serial killer gives you superpowers.  It's one of the things I've just decided to go with.  On a lesser show it would annoy me. 

I read a rumor (on Ken Levine's blog, if it matters) that NBC was thinking of bringing Harmon back as showrunner.  I don't think it's true, but I'm hoping if I repeat it enough on the internet it will become true.

You're kind of weird.

They're promoting the hell out of it, which makes me think they want to renew it.  (Not that they will, just that they want to.)  Shows they don't care about just seem to dry up and blow away.

I thought Alana would leave and take Abagail with her, since there was no reason she had to stand their answering his questions.  Her staying made her seem more guilty (except we already knew she killed the guy), because it she was staying to *prove* her innocence, where someone who was innocent would probably just

Jack being right about Abagail plays into his strange intuition (or whatever Lass called it). That's why he's "The Guru".

I'm hoping they bring him back, maybe as someone Will (or Jack or Hannibal) interviews in prison later.
