I didn't care one whit about how it was actually pulled off, so I didn't feel disappointed in what is essentially an episode-long cop-out. I DID, however, expect there to be actual repercussions beyond Ha Ha Ha Sherlock Is Insensitive To John's Trauma And John Punches Him A Lot Ha Ha Ha Funny Jokes Ha Ha and Sherlock…

Unless the cliffhanger/twist is that Sherlock really did fall off the roof in Reichenbach and the 3rd (and now 4th, I guess) season was just a really shitty, tone-deaf, poorly-paced coma dream, I'm not interested.

Sigh. Yep. I can't remember the last time I was so tempted to drop a show because one character dragged everything so far down.

I'm only about halfway through the second season, and it IS pretty good, but it's got occasional pacing problems (I think the seasons may be just a little too tightly-packed with events, which is kind of novel given how common the opposite WHY ISN'T ANYTHING HAPPENING problem is) and moments of clunky writing.

Apparently Tom Hanks is "a lot of animals".

I guess that makes Hannibal its Gayle. Something so beautiful saddled with something so ugly that you can't comprehend how they hooked up in the first place.

I really enjoyed Serial, but it's absolutely in spite of everyone talking about it. The fact that I've seen so many of these Adnan/Sarah jokes/actual tinfoil hat conspiracy theories is really fucking obnoxious. If a woman expresses doubt about a male prisoner's guilt and finds him personable, her weak little jello…

Looks like I've got a recipe to save for the Hannibal season 3 premiere.
