Holy shit, is The Screwfly Solution coming true?

And one of them was appointed by Rod Blagojevich. That's right, Rod Blagojevich is responsible for 11% of all the black people who have ever served in the Senate *shudder*

Arranged in a totem pole o' death?

Also that there's lots of space for valid, reasonable opinions between "OMG THIS IS THE BEST SHOW EVER" and "THIS IS THE WORST PIECE OF SHIT IMAGINABLE".

Can't find anything more recent, but there's this: http://www.digitalspy.co.uk…

Personally, I just hope that Fuller even gets a shot at a hypothetical season 4. Hannibal's ratings don't exactly inspire confidence, unfortunately.

"To shreds, you say?"

A-. I can sorta agree that the character work was a little lacking, but easily one of the funniest episodes this season.

I thought the bit was mildly amusing at first, but then the dean claimed that Barack Obama was scared of him and I couldn't stop laughing. How does this show manage to constantly take hoary premises like "white authority figure raps" and make them comedy gold?

Those are all fair points, and I can't argue that the US and South Africa have a lot of similar problems; I think the life expectancy for whites in the US is similar to European countries, but for blacks and hispanics they are much worse. And in general I think it's obvious that the US lags behind most other developed…

Not to knock South Africa, but I'm not sure you can call a country that has a life expectancy of 52.6 years "more-or-less developed."

But Sonia's Hostages reviews were a thing of beauty! There is no one better to fill in the Sims-sized hole than her.

It's the act of cumming into your hand, running up to a stranger on the street, slapping the in the face, and then yelling "SEAGULLED!"

This response is 9 months late, but I just saw this episode, checked out the comments, and I'm pretty sure that the meat that he served Will in the pilot were the lungs from Nicholas Boyle's sister, who Hannibal killed.

My hatred for Space Jam is only surpassed by my hatred for all of my peers who fawn over it because they can't take off their nostalgia goggles.

Well, they made me really excited to see what happens in the second series.

They did an excellent job of weaving in real life SPOILERS, SORT OF pandemic scares like SARS and mad cow disease into the narrative. And I thought the whole reason they were going to all the trouble with the civil servant was the kind of amazing.

It kinda terrifies me too, though I'm very happy it's not on network television. I don't have high hopes for the Fincher version, but a show like Utopia would decidedly not work if you couldn't show all the really horrific violence that the original program does so fantastically (and not just superficially horrific in…
