I'll give NBC credit for running the show for two seasons and letting Fuller pretty much do whatever he wanted with the operatic gore.

NBC: We Used to Have Seinfeld, Remember?

You can make it all go away. Put your head back. Close your eyes. Wade into the quiet of the stream.

It does seem like a slam dunk for a streaming service like Amazon, who already has the streaming rights.

Hannibal: I gave you a rare gift, and you didn't want it. You would deny me my life.
NBC: Not your life.
Hannibal: My freedom then, you would take that from me. Confine me to syndication and DVD. Did you believe you could change me the way I've changed you?

I know Doran just feigns weakness, but if that's what he was planning all along you'd think they would have made it clear to the audience before or just as the ship sailed away.

Isn't that where they were going? The whole point was to get Myrcella back to Cersei and he told her they were going back to KL.

Threaten to have the crews' heads once they get to King's Landing if they don't comply?

So what's to stop Jaime from turning that ship around and sailing back to Sunspear and demanding Ellaria's head? The ship wasn't even out of sight when poison took effect.

Well he spent all that time hanging out with Caesar, you think he would have learned.

I think the show has established already that smuggling, piracy (e.g Sallador Saan) and slave trading are the most lucrative positions open to colored people in that part of the world.

And after Jaime fookin' Lannister built him up to be the Michelangelo of sword fighting. An artist who only uses red.

Prediction: Jon Snow's kid steward is going to knife him. That kid has dead eyes, like a doll's eyes.

I presume it means they're going to tone down Ramsay even more. Which is fine, I don't want to see anyone raped by dogs, but he has to be cruel to her or else what's the point of Ramsay?

Shouldn't Littlefinger, of all people, be aware of what an utter psycho Ramsay is? What on Earth makes him think that Sansa could tame him?

I was wondering if someone could make him a bayonet hand, like Merle from The Walking Dead.

Maybe next season Philip can find a quiet Catholic church and spill his guts to a priest in the confessional about his crimes.

Martha had a ton of screen time the last few episodes so it wasn't really necessary for her to be in this one.

I swear it's like you can't just conquer a country with no history, culturally or politically, of equality and rule of law and then expect its people to fall in line and obey a new order because you have good intentions.

Ah, I see what you mean. I feel a person like Cersei will always find ways to view herself as a victim so it doesn't really take much for that to flare up.
