I felt some of that too. I mean, we have six hours to cover the Red Dragon story. Even if we actually had five episodes proper, it would be fine, in order to have this be a more thorough reset. Perhaps we'll get a bit of something like the start of the season, though, where we get more glimpses and fill-ins about what…

Five episodes left in the season, and we had a lot of ground to cover in this one. There's time.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought that.

Oh I hope to fuck the answer is yes. Or rather, I think there's a good chance that Francis will.

I think she was supposed to come in, along with the Silence of the Lambs arc, in season 5. I could be off on that, though.

I'm totally onboard for the previously speculated "Will and Ardelia go after Hannibal and Clarice" season 6 idea.

My understanding is that the last six episodes of this season are the full Red Dragon arc.

Ooh, I still haven't seen that. Gonna need to get on that.

At the very least, the score by Edward Shearmur is worthy.

Machete don't blimp.

I liked Billy Campbell a lot in the role, but I'd love to see a version with Bruce—more on the Evil Dead end than the Army of Darkness end of his Ash spectrum.

Goddammit I really wish those planned movies had been made.

Sorry, but the broad strokes of a particular event in historical fiction is not the same thing as what's commonly referred to as a spoiler. Very often the real-life events are often used as part of the assumed knowledge of the story, even if the author makes sure you know just in case. This is not the same as…

Sweetums condoms, no less!

Bah! I was just reminded I hadn't replied to this. SPOILERS BELOW—

I really loved the ambiance of the show. I may not be the best critical viewer of it, because I just so adored and got wrapped up in the intangible feeling of it. The period vibe was, in its own way, just as successful as that of the films. And Laurence Rosenthal and Joel McNeely's scores were just wonderful. Young…

I feel like the overall tone and handling ultimately balances it out in a way, though. It's so pulpy, whereas Raiders in some ways feels more violent/dark, despite the fact that it's all soldiers and goons, unless you count the monkey. It's more gritty, whereas there's a much more palpable sense of fantasy to the…

Temple of Doom? Takes itself really seriously? Did they do more than one movie called "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom," and I've been watching the wrong one all these years?

And it's woefully underrated. It's a shame they got cancelled right before they were gonna get to Abner and Belloq and all that.

Oh shit, Clive Owen's actually not a bad call.
