Seems to me that the delineation here is prime time vs cable, although dumb vs smart seems to overlap quite well. I prefer old and busted vs new hotness. Try finding YouTube clips of The Simpsons or The X-Files or The Office. The numbers are few and it's no coincidence that they are all prime time shows. (I can even…

I think we should all write to them anyway. They need to either pick up this show or allow someone else to pick up this show. What they are doing now is criminal (in the artistic sense, at least). If they neither pick up this show, nor allow anyone else who is willing to do so, they are nearly singularly responsible…

I think it vastly improves once they get to the judge's death.

He didn't know Jack's moves because Jack's new moves are now a response to what he knows of Hannibal's moves. Jack learned.

Jack went back, got the hook, and while Hannibal was sitting at the window he had pushed Pazzi out of, Jack struck him with the hook and knocked him out of the window.

I was most disappointed with the music in the first episode. The jazz while Hannibal was shucking oysters was the first time they didn't play classical music while Hannibal was preparing food. It sounded a bit like a jazz riff of The Simpsons theme, and then there was that kind of Manhattan Transfer sounding chorus.…

You are sounding like Brooke Smith, who played Katherine Martin in "The Silence of the Lambs". She became such good friends with Ted Levine, aka Jame Gumb, aka "Buffalo Bill", during filming, that Jodie Foster started calling her Patty Hearst. (Sorry if you are young and these references make no sense.)

Heavy smoking in Europe and seeking too much sun. These are always the aging culprits.

I'll one-up that, Schneckenfreude.

This show's design is continuously evolving. The show is always growing, even at the risk of alienating its viewership core, who may be wanting to settle with what they have at a given moment.

You confused me at first, because IMDB lists this episode as being directed by Natali. I finally caught the nbc.com version, and found the credit. I find Navarro to also be one of the show's better directors.

He just bought a boat that he christened, "The Live-4-Ever".

Even though I know that Bryan Fuller himself said that the stag represented the relationship between Will and Hannibal, I always thought that the stag made more sense as Will's spirit guide.

Owed to a Spell Chequer

Question: Where does one go to contact Amazon to beg them to pick up this show? I couldn't find an Amazon Prime feedback link.

Are you looking for La Gazza Ladra?

I was just thinking, good thing it wasn't an ICE/ETR train.

Is there a word like defenestration for being thrown from a train? There should be.

Maybe they got offended by all of the people complaining about typos in last week's Hannibal review?

"It was terrifying and wonderful to watch."
