@avclub-02c1dd6ad234773aeffd7f7067784d58:disqus Fair enough, and that's true of American Gods, though it's not something I minded there. I was mostly responding to @avclub-f08b7ac8aa30a2a9ab34394e200e1a71:disqus's comment…though I notice now he thought Graveyard Book was focused. It's certainly not sprawling, but it

@avclub-02c1dd6ad234773aeffd7f7067784d58:disqus Also, if your complaint is that his books feel like a series of short stories, The Graveyard Book is just going to add fuel to the fire.

This was pretty thoroughly discussed in previous comments sections, and then pretty thoroughly disproven when Jack showed up at her house this episode.

Georgia's on medication now, and that makes her disorder manageable. You'll also notice that she no longer truly believes she's dead. I think I remember her mother mentioning that she used to be on medication - she was lucid enough to have a best friend, after all. It was the time she spent wandering the woods without

That, and "They're treating her like a burn victim." Oh man, guys.

I absolutely agree that the empathy the show encourages makes it harder to watch, but on an existential level I find that *less* disturbing.

Also, as I was just discussing with a friend: the power dynamic between Will & Hannibal is changing. They're very much a matched set, a yin-yang, a pair of equals - but most of the story thus far has been about Will being downtrodden and Hannibal working very hard to keep him there. Now, Will is figuring it out, and

There were large chunks of it that were fairly slow, but the last 10 minutes was possibly the most tense sequence on the series thus far.

One of my favorite moments all episode was when they moved their heads in sync during the Jeopardy conversation.

And by "strange," you mean "AMAZING."

I think part of the reason we're seeing Collin in this flawless, over-seductive light is because Jenna is. She doesn't seem him as a real person - a problem she also had with Matty. And this is reflected in that "hunt is better than the kill" line. I'm hoping that as things develop, the shine will start to wear off,

Yes, please, someone explain to me why Hannibal was not only not nominated for *everything* but was instead nominated for *nothing*.

Will is for studying, not for eating.

Will desperately needs an anchor in humanity, and the men he's been depending on to provide it are actively bad at that. I saw that line as him reaching out to someone grounded, empathetic, kind - someone who knows him and can remind him what is REAL.

Equal-opportunity murder!

And then Bryan Fuller tweeted: On behalf of Abel Gideon, please donate blood! (His had more caps. I'm not convinced the man knows his capslock key is on.)

They're probably playing with the double meanings, but the circonflexe (…I actually only know the French word for this accent mark; circumflex, maybe?) in the title seems to indicate that they meant the French word specifically.
I took it as a fairly literal interpretation of what's happening to Will. Particularly his

@avclub-b9fe31dea5e76193f5750c3bb3fc095d:disqus Yeah, that was some pretty vivid angel imagery in that last scene. Maybe not as much as the wings, but her entire half of the screen glowed, and she cast her light on Hannibal.

Will needs some SERIOUS coddling. The kind with hospitals and trustworthy doctors and effective medication, but also lots of hugs.

I've also been wondering if the lack of any actual police work on the show goes beyond just a lack of interest. With Will losing time and now his grip on reality, I think the skipped steps were an early indicator to the audience that we're never really going to know how we got here and that we should get used to it.
