No more blood tonight.

Will is definitely not dead, I'd put money on that.

"Hear, hear"

I meant from a dramatic point of view. Nearly killing Abigail and then bringing her back too many times would end up feeling like a manipulative cheat after a while.

I'm pretty sure we see police lights as Hannibal is leaving his apartment. But yeah, it was a bit late.

If they get passed over for the Emmys I'm going to be seriously disappointed. That final scene between Mikkelsen, Dancy, and Rohl was the most moving moment this show has ever done and the performances were calibrated so beautifully . It brought tears to my eyes and I'm usually hard to move.

Switch Abigail and Alana and you're probably closer to the truth. How many times is Abigail going to survive fatal neck wounds?

Fishburne also has a pilot in development at HBO, in which he would be lead if it gets picked up.

Thanks for the recommendations. I've seen Longtime Companion, which I think is fantastic, and I was lucky to have seen the revival of Angels in America with Christian Borle and the amazing Robin Weigert as the angel. It's hands down my favorite theater-going experience of all time.

Btw Myles, both of those links lead to the Dead Air AV Club page.

I've been trying to track down the As Is TV movie for a couple of years now and have been unsuccessful. Shame that there isn't a DVD release.

Thanks for sharing your experience with the play. I'm way too young to have this kind of perspective with The Normal Heart, I was born in '89 and didn't really find out about the play until way after I moved to the US in the mid-00's. I've never seen the play performed, but I've read it several times in an academic…

I was very confused by that sentence as well, so it's not just you. I'm assuming he means that Tommy doesn't come off as bitchy as he proclaims to be, which might be the point of the performance, but who knows?

I'll withhold judgement until it actually airs on Sunday, but I wished we could have heard a little bit more about Murphy's directorial choices and a little less about the script. The Normal Heart has been out for years and the play has been analyzed and discusses to the nines. I wished we could have gotten a bit more…

I completely agree with you. But then again, I tend to judge Stan a little harshly too.

That's one of my favorite moments of the season. Second only to Elizabeth and Philip's bedroom scene in "Behind the Red Door."

I think the difference between the two scenarios is that when Stan killed Vlad he could get away with it without any personal or professional repercussions. An overt act of aggression on diplomatic Soviets in US soil would be a clusterfuck even if Stan manages to get away unidentified. If we are to believe that Stan's…

I think it would be interesting to follow her "trial," but it would be a challenge to link it thematically with what's happening back in the States.

This would also have the added benefit of retroactively making all scenes of Elizabeth and Philip trolling the church 10x better.

What that says about his character is that he's a shitty person. All joking aside, trying out a rescue operation on the center vehicle would be a diplomatic nightmare. The only way for that to work on a plot-level would be for Stan and Nina to be both on the run from the law in S3, which doesn't really fit in with…
