The problem with the show catching up to the books is not about a lack of material. If they run out of the official books, the showrunners have mentioned that they would just tell their own story (with some guidance from GRRM).

4) Will met with visitors in the cage while he was being kept in the mental hospital/jail that Chilton runs, but I assume he was moved to a jail in/near the courthouse for the trial. The room where he met Alana was there, not the mental hospital/jail.

I'm scared. Somebody hold me.

They'd have to fly Dave Chang back in for that so that'd be a nice bonus.

I know. Two Hannibal things per week from the AVC? It is awesome we're getting the walk-through in 'real time' instead of at the end of the season.

I feel like there's an elaborate "one ring" joke about the one/three/seven/nine books and movies JK Rowling is going to produce. Nerds?

No one will ever top Stephen Merchant's lip sync of LL Cool J.

This is true. Davies' work can be awful but it can also be fantastic.I don't even know what else Kring has done.

Yes I would. Gwen is much more bearable in the miniseries.

Definite cry for help

There were certainly a few good episodes here and there, which is what made the crap episodes more unbearable. There was so much promise that didn't get fully realized until the miniseries.

Yeah, I was annoyed by how the ending undercut her development as a character. The episode actually did a good job of quickly establishing characters who were sympathetic and interesting. Ursula, in particular, was a smart, good person with more backbone than most of the others. She didn't deserve the humiliating…

It also reminded me very strongly of "The Zeppo" from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It had the same screwball tone (like that chase scene Elton witnesses at the beginning of the story) and lots of pop culture references. I'm guessing this was probably jarring for longtime fans since it was very different from a typical…

Hoo boy. This announcement inevitably dredges up fan bitterness about how they squandered the show's potential. It was such a good premise and the characters were really interesting and sympathetic. I remember being astonished at how quickly the show descended into incoherent, cheap melodrama.

"NO ONE who loathes a TV show to the extent that they're claiming they do keeps watching it."

Thanks for the nightmares, AVC!

I can't believe someone did this:

Thank you! I thought he looked familiar!

I disagree. The mind palace parallel clearly demonstrates Magnussen's similarity to Sherlock. There has been no mention of Mycroft relying on such a device.
