I'm honestly kind of pissed that they went through all this trouble massively retooling the show and didn't make Nora the main character in the process.

Coon and Eccleston's episodes and the flashback episode were good enough that I'm probably going to keep watching hoping lightning strikes again. They were that good.

I am also the only person this show is for. It's almost belligerently specific in terms of who it's made for.

There were points where the show bordered on being a horror movie for me for that exact reason.

It didn't help that she barely even had a character.

The Red Dragon arc really feels like the big payoff the show's been building up to this whole time. By the time it wraps up, I suspect Hannibal's going to be Fuller's first genuinely completed show. It may have only been three seasons, but God knows the man's been conditioned to tell stories quickly.

To me the best thing Season 6 did was give the cast erosion significance. Losing characters was slowly killing the show, and I'm impressed that they managed to spin that into some really genuine stuff about people fading away while you're stuck somewhere. That's probably the best I've seen a serialized show handle…

Exactly. The finale actually got me to make peace with the show going away. And other shows going away in general. Ending like that is so perfect for a show that always felt like it was about to get taken away every year. Until it did and crawled its way out of the grave. You really can't make a show like this on…

The finale was so well-built as a series finale that I would be mad if the show came back for a seventh season. Season 6 ended so definitively that I had no idea people thought there might be another season until I clicked on this article.

There's something admirable about how the show treated its relationships with respect, given the landscape at the time. And there's something embarrassing about about how badly they botched it as time went on.

The phrase "British Lucille Bluth" absolutely crossed my mind.

Look, here's the deal: when I was 14 in 2005, The L Word, along with Queer as Folk and a whole lineup of shitty movies that I could find on cable, were the only reassurance I had that I had a tribe out there that I just hadn't gained access to yet. It meant a lot to me.

I'm listening to it right now.

Putting his head on Fake Beth's shoulder was one of the show's best "Cry or laugh?" moments.

"Why am I so mediocre?"

Not to be overly melodramatic, but I will probably never stop crying.

I'M SORRY I HAVE A PROBLEM

I think my favorite part of this show's mythos is how it's made "Which Character X is OUR universe's Character X?" damn near completely irrelevant.

I really, really, hope Daly pops up again in another role.

I HAVE SO MUCH TO SAY
