I figure there's a lord of light rail.

Melisandre also seems to get around quick.

By soft spot I mean that as an extension of his obsession with Cat, Sansa is the only person right now I can see him not killing even if it was the most convenient thing for him to do. I think Littlefinger may be a straight up sociopath and his obsession with Cat wasn't exactly love, but it is a prime motivator.

Oh there's no doubt that he's a attracted to her as a substitute Cat, and that is super creepy. He's been very paternal to her up to now, which is also super creepy and the dialogue only punctuated that.

Sometimes I wonder why we're not all on team White Walker. What have we seen them do that's so terrible? Chase a bunch of cannibals and rapists and other assorted humans from their land? Rescue a baby? Just because they look scary, doesn't mean they wouldn't do a better job ruling Westeros than anyone else.

From a modern perspective, Littlefinger's desire for Sansa is creepy and inappropriate, but older men marrying their wards was a thing long after the middle ages. Considering that Littlefinger is now in charge of the Vale and clearly has a genuine soft spot for Sansa, she could do worse than align herself with him.…

Is that about my cube?

It is an interesting point, especially since by making Margot not trans (but a lesbian from one throw away line) it robbed the story of having a trans person as a major part of the story. Yet, in in the end, I think the nature of the story made it impossible to evolve it to a point where it wasn't incorrect in its…

I agree. Furthermore, Fuller has gone out of his way to make the serial killings nearly asexual. I can't think of a killer of the week that had any sexual motive at all, except maybe Abel Gideon and we never saw him kill his wife. Rather, the killers were usually artists using corpses as their medium. This is pure…

I don't think Margot was so much a pairing with Will. She saw him as a means to an end, and post sex they appeared to have little affection for one another. I'm still not entirely sure why Will allowed her to seduce him except that he had been drinking and she's very attractive. I suppose they did bond over the shared…

I've always thought that Hannibal's interest in Alana is purely a means to an end. It's all about manipulating Will, with side benefits like creating an alibi. I don't believe he has any sexual interest in her at all. He procreates by creating other killers like himself, whether it be Bedelia or Abigail or Will, so…

Bryan Fuller's insistence that the show is about heterosexual male friendship is starting to feel very tongue-in-cheek.

Zombies may be the hot monsters, and the ones who eat faces, but there's definitely a classic vampire modality at the core of Hannibal's story. Hannibal, the lonely monster in his castle, wants to create a family for himself. Abigail. Randall. Margot. Will. For me, the fact that Bedelia had become part of that family…

Blackadder Goes Forth. It's important for a person to appreciate humor that dark.

No and it breaks my heart for this generation. I still diagram sentences in my head, especially to figure out proper subject/verb agreement.

A role, which incidentally, is not a cameo. Yara/Asha is a POV character who factors into the story in a big way.

Seriously. Yara/Theon is probably the fifth or so most incest-y relationship on the show.

Good choice. The actress that plays Yara does a fine job, including almost selling that Yara would turn around because of dogs or whatever that plot convenient thing was we saw on Sunday.

I wondered why Tywin doesn't just send an envoy to offer Danaerys Tommen's hand in marriage. It seems like it would be the sensible thing to do, regardless of the nasty history between the two houses.

And the birthright thing is pretty thin since his brother was basically a usurper. Sure, the mad king needed a replacement, but it's not like Stannis is sitting on a few centuries of history.
