In fairness, having to deliver that line is Mariana Trench-level depth. You need special equipment to say that line without getting your skull crushed by the pressure.

Pizzolatto sounded douchey? C'mon, you're pulling my leg.

Shinshi shinshi?

Not quite moustache-less Sam Elliott in the final season of Justified level weird, but, yeah; suddenly his face looks naked.

Ani getting sent to the evidence locker definitely made me think of The Wire. Maybe she could take some of that driftwood her sister's so into and make it into dollhouse furniture?

Or they're doing it a kindness, considering how much the show suffers by the comparison.

That's totally something Hannibal would say. Jesus. I'm never going to read it in any other voice, ever again.

I'm just really, really excited for the Red Dragon arc. I think the more familiar territory will do Fuller & co. a world of good, when it comes to anchoring their inimitable style. I've been reminded of Kant's quote about the dove when it comes to this season: "The light dove, in free flight cutting through the

Yeah. I have no idea why Chiyo was watching Hannibal through the scope as he surrendered. She seemed satisfied with the outcome, I guess? But it flies in the face of the "some beasts shouldn't be caged" line to infer that she was forcing him to surrender; but then that line was itself a pretty sharp volte face from…

I think Will's kiss-off worked precisely because there was no artifice to what he was saying—-otherwise, it would've been one more step in their fucked-up pas de deux, and Hannibal would've seen it as such.

There were other women besides Mary Magdalene, but I don't recall who they were.

Despite worrying about how the show would treat Will's capture of Hannibal last week, I think I love the decision to have Hannibal surrender (which doesn't mean, I think, that Will didn't catch him; there are other means of influence besides violence, we've been told). In any case, the final few minutes were…

Right?

Sure, horses for courses, all that. But just to be clear: when I say Rectify isn't the sort of show one binges, that's not a slight against the show. If anything, it's the reverse.

I'm really not sure which season is my favorite. (Obviously we're only half-way through s3, but the structure of it seems to lend itself to distinguishing between front- and back-halves.) Some of the procedural episodes in s1 were a real drag, granted—-looking at you, Corpse Totem guy—-but the Abigail Hobbs arc is the…

My solution: watch the rip now, then watch it again when NBC airs it.

In the end, we all become Drunk Uncles.

So if only I'd actually finished my post-grad philosophy degree, then I'd think this movie wasn't a terrible bore?

Upvoted for username/comment synergy.

This was the exact conversation I had with myself.
