She really reaches a deep part of me.

It wasn't exactly an innocent romantic gesture though…in fact, I found that scene took on an extra layer of meaning and menace with the way Dolarhyde kept getting closer to her so he could see his reflection in her eyes, just as he places the shards of glass on his victims so he can see how he looks in their eyes (I…

Consuming is definitely the right description. You got the sense he was drawing power from it through the scent and feel of it first, before the physical devouring. Whereas Ralph Fiennes treated it like a starving man with a cheeseburger.

Does anyone else feel like this incarcerated version of Mads' Lecter will end up being the weakest version? Mads has excelled at playing the reserved, charming, out-of-captivity Hannibal, but now that the writers are filling his mouth with some of Thomas Harris' more hammy lines, his particular strengths don't really…

And it's lit so brightly! Norton's face is preternaturally orange.

Focusing on the sensual nature of Reba stroking and feeling the tiger, and Dolarhyde sniffing the Blake, was such trademark Hannibal that it elevated both those iconic scenes. Dolarhyde's relationship with Reba also makes so much more sense in this adaptation than the dire Ratner version because Dolarhyde's pathology…

I teared up at Colbert's out-of-character bit at the end. Also thought Louis CK summed it up so perfectly: one of the great and important comedic accomplishments.

Criticizes the reviewer for forgetting something…and then forgets something.

I've been binge-watching from the start over the last couple weeks, and this is the episode where I've finally caught up to real time!

Good probing on Lambs. And interesting to hear yet another actor speak highly of working with Nic Cage. The Bradley Cooper anecdote was nice too.

It wasn't until the finale was done and dusted that I realised I loved the show as well. That's a real testament to the writing this year - I'm gonna miss these guys.

I liked how they did that scene with sound dropping out - Bosworth realising that his heart wasn't in being an good ol boy crony anymore.

Have they released the finale's ratings yet? Been looking for them.

His two small scenes in the finale really put a cherry on his character even if the show doesn't return. I like to think he'd be the one to give Cameron away if she ever got married.

He's like the goofy yet wise uncle you wish you had.

That was as satisfying as I'd hoped for on both a plot and character level. I must admit I did more than a little cheer when Boz showed up on the plane. I find myself desiring a third season more than I've wanted anything in quite some time - but if this the end, I can feel these characters living on, and that's a…

Bosworth punchline-worthy.

Yeah there were some nice, hopeful-sounding piano touches that were a marked contrast to the usual queasy tension-building electro pulse.
