Good god, my deepest apologies for trying to dismount from "I don't think Zack Efron is right for this role, clearly you do, since he isn't in the show it doesn't matter and I feel no need to talk you out of it, have a good night and think what you like"

The way you do spoiler tags is the same html brackets you do for italics or bold (these ones: < >) but with the word "spoiler" in between.

Gillian Anderson will be there, right? I believe.

I guess it depends what you're interested in. To me, understanding Laura better, why she did the things she did, how Shadow ended up out of prison with a dead wife and best friend, is valuable. But I've read the book and so that's colored by some other things that I will not name. I'm not trying to convince you to…

She said more than once that her whole attitude had changed after coming back, though, so I wouldn't say she "doesn't care about things" post-death.

I mean, she still could have ended up dead (people die in prison a lot and she was a risk-taker), but I guess I meant even setting her death aside, overall with her emotional state for the intervening time.

I don't remember that happening in the first scene, which she seemed to me to be enjoying. In the second sex scene, yes.

They showed you the coin getting mysteriously sucked into the grave dirt and then Mad Sweeney finding a coin-shaped hole through the lid of the coffin, though, which seems to me to make it pretty clear the coin is magic in some way. Magic Item deposited on grave —> body starts walking…seems like even though the…

Zorya #3, last episode: "You had the sun itself, but you gave it away."

I assume they're saying that based on IMDB, which may well be wrong.

Everybody's suddenly a bitch! What's up with that!

That line used to be a lot funnier.

I'd say get back in the saddle for the next one and see if it doesn't give you what you're looking for. As noted in the review, the deviation from the normal (so far) structure suggests this episode is kind of a special one-off.

Well, that escalated suddenly.

I would definitely say that if "believable" is an important metric for you, then maybe this isn't your genre. (Depending, I guess, on what you mean by believable.)

I remember when season 1 of GoT was airing I used to get so annoyed at book fans because people watching the show would criticize some scene or plot point for one reason or another, and the book people would come back with, "well, in the BOOK, it's blah blah blah, so it's fine" and it was like, come on, people. The…

That's pretty much how it goes in the book, IIRC. I really enjoyed this episode because I liked seeing things through Laura's eyes, but I can understand where you're coming from on this specific point.

Hannibal did a lot to continue the raising of the bar in terms of what television can get away with, and season 3 is a big part of that.

Adaptations are often plenty different from books. I started trying to read A Song of Ice and Fire after getting into Game of Thrones and couldn't make it past the first chapter. It happens.

Yeah, we don't know where the car was by the time that happened. I wouldn't read too much into it just yet. I actually really like the idea that if/when Shadow gets to Cairo and meets them, while for him it'll be yet another alien experience, for the audience it'll feel like a welcome from friends.
