Ech you're right. It honestly got lost in the shuffle, but that's more a sign of a caffeine-addled brain than anything else. That was a particularly repulsive scene to watch.

Season 1 was outstanding. I don't question that. It was funereal, well-plotted and elegant in ways that other "murder shows" were not. It was also frequently more horrifying as it's main character began losing his mind, thus robbing us of a stable center. The simmering pot from the beginning was spitting and boiling…

I try to avoid hyperbole. Shows I love initially often have a way of revealing their flaws later. I try to remain centered and cast my jaded eye on entertainment offerings with equal parts openness and reservedness.

Not only that, but it's rated TV-14.

Yeesh.

Michael Pitt's Verger is already so bizarrely distinct from Jimmy Darmody (and even his character in Funny Games) that I have no idea why I was worried about a retread of either.

You do not

-I wish i could sit Don and Peggy down and force them to watch "The Suitcase". Once they got over the initial shock of being fictional characters that came out of a secretive bald man's head, i'd like to think that they'd bury the hatchet and hug it out. Or nod quietly at each other and touch hands intensely. Somethin.

Will Smith and Hannibal- just a coupla Lords.

Hannibal seemed more annoyed when Will brought up Bedelia than when Will tried to have him killed.

I have joined. I'm in it and reasonably capable. Please explain exactly where I am missing the point.

The point that the showrunners and the director are conflating rape with "eventual" consent and confirming a pattern of misunderstanding rape itself? Or the point that this show and shows in general are casually using violence towards women as a way to drive forward the plot without presenting the weight of such acts?…

Naw, you're pretty right. This was in the same episode as a cannibal forcing a child to watch his parents get brutally slaughtered.

I think the show is trying very hard to establish how toxic the Lannister's have become and used that scene to further the notion. It was misguided but divorced from the comments by Graves, it nearly works at a character level. I can understand the decision if they actually commit to it, but it shouldn't exist in the…

I know it didn't "mesh" with the overall episode as well as it could have, but that Mason teaser was a really nifty bit of filmmaking. I'm really curious to see how they handle that character.

Larry Fishburne is killing it in the subtle performance department. Mikkelsen gets all the credit, and Dancy is a great stand-in for a raw nerve but Crawford is a more thankless role. The gamut of emotions he's had to suppress this season are a little staggering.

I'm gonna level with you, Rat. I put no thought into that at all. I dunno if it's even trolling, but it might be lazy. In any case, I agree with you.

You made 3=4 somehow. You must truly be magic. And you're also probably right. You are one impressive, level headed rat, my friend.

Dammit Bev. Just when you was gettin' interesting you had to fall for the ole "check out the serial killer suspect's basement by yourself- you'll totally make it out alive, honest" trick. Dammit.

I was pretty damn sure that this movie would be a big "eh, it doesn't suck" style shrug and I went and donated to the kickstarter anyway. Not only that, but I donated well after it had shockingly surpassed it's goal. Not only that, but I really sort of needed that money and DID NOT need a cheap t-shirt and a sticker…
