You could probably also write one of these for Hannibal's cinematography, art direction, sound design…

Alternately, I doubt that Community itself has that much "fuck you" money to give him.

I'm confused, did seasons 3+ take the first two seasons away from you?

Part of me wants to ask why he couldn't have just hung on one more year since it's probably the last season, but I'd have to imagine that this is the third year running where people have been telling him that.

@avclub-1f5b519cde67ac0d0fcab419aa3048a4:disqus  isn't wrong, but at the same time, I think this whole thing does make exponentially more sense if you picture the people making these decisions as the cast of early-era Mad Men.

@avclub-a43012a332fc066e7ecf57a9b678fb51:disqus — I heard that the real reason HBO cancelled The Wire was because they felt that Two and a Half Men had already said everything that there is to say about the inherent darkness of human existence.

Exactly. CBS is basically condoning it by covering up these people's behaviors. Obviously the live feed footage shows what's going on, but in reality I'd be willing to bet that most viewers don't roll through enough pop culture blogs to have any idea what's being taken out. They're actively working to make racists,…

The first two are ending and they keep firing the third's showrunners. They also haven't been able to replicate those successes with their last few rounds of trying, and they don't seem particularly interested in maintaining that reputation that their two flagships got them. It's not a sinking ship yet, but AMC…

It's spelled "fa-LAMING".

It's not science.

For Dolarhyde, I can't get past wanting to base it on Noonan's reading, but for the life of me I can't think of a single actor around now that simultaneously looks like The Saddest Loser You Work With and someone physically imposing enough to fuck you up.

Seriously. You'd think that when the script came out Dhavernas would've said "Whoa, hold up, kids, that's not a word."

Elisabeth Moss.

As anvil-y as "I see family" was, that moment still creeped the bejeezus out of me. 90% of the credit goes to the way that dinner sequence was shot. You'd think this show would run out of ways to light and frame dinner like a nightmare, but it just never does.

"Aaah, ancient Chinese secret…"
"Oh, it's no secret. We'll kill you."

They can't "fire" him as a partner, but they can fire him as creative director.

Don was fired. When they don't give you a return date and start interviewing your replacements the same day, you've been fired. Consider what else you missed.

If you think nothing happened this season, I have literally no idea how to respond.

No mention of the finale's big cliffhanger, in which we are left to wonder whether or not Sue murders the shit out of Ed.

After so many attempts, you'd think Showtime would figure out by now that shows built entirely around "Antihero with a dark secret" premises have alarmingly short half-lives.
