Help wanted:  I spent a couple of hours on Sunday rewatching from the start and one thing sort of bothers me.  In the scene at Alison's house where Sarah meets Alison and Cosima for the first time C. interviews Sarah about her story and seems to express surprise that  Sarah did not know her birth parents.  But…

Yes, I see this more than love.  I was also taken with the role reversal that each fell into so easily while Paul was tied up, and then after.  His leaning his head against her, her supportively holding his shoulder — both sweet and unexpected.

When he said "Please" in that pleading tone I realized: this season Don is pathetic. He looks like a man but looks are not everything.

Seriously.  Shouldn't Hannibal serve the occasional lamb chop or rib roast?  His offal-organ-only menus must surely begin to resonate with Crawford or Bloom, both of whom seem to be frequent diners at his table.

I believe in order to be credentialed as a psychiatrist one must undergo analysis, so it is very consistent for Hannibal to have one.  The interesting thing is that his has retired, but Hannibal has refused to accept that as a reason to discontinue his therapy.  Perverse on both sides, then, since she should have…

What I want to know is how a man like that gets a Jaguar dealership.  He has no class or finesse, surely requirements needed to acquire a franchise.

Rather like the CIA, in fact.  A friend's son, an engineer, was offered a job at the Agency straight out of college.  When his mother objected he said he was only going to be doing engineering-type stuff, not espionage, to which she replied, "Honey, the cleaning ladies are all spies."  It's become a catchphrase with…

Love Noah Emmerich's acting, but as for Stan?  He used up his last drop of my sympathy the moment he shot Vlad in the head.  And all over Amador?  Puhleese.

I thought the TARDIS translation function does not translate Gallifreyan.  It did not on the Doctor's cradle.

I've been trying to identify my pain this time around and I think it narrows down to a lack of endearingness.  All of the rebooted Doctors, Matt Smith included, have had their own versions of an endearing relationship with their companions, certainly, but also with many of their encountered life forms.  Since the loss…

It has never fully been addressed, but since it keeps coming up like a big old Whack-A-Mole mole, there is the issue that Will is perceived, especially by many judges, to have been doing his share of corruption centered on that damn basketball game.  Influence peddling at the least, outright tampering at the worst and…

Word to all that.  To everything.   I have never understood the Willicia train chug-chugging along when all of the tracks run back to Alicia being The Good Wife.  Peter's cheating, with hookers but especially with Kalinda, enabled her to embrace Will, sexually.  But I have never believed in an emotional bond with Will…

I have to do something, like build a Wayback Machine, so I can go back and see the wonderful sex scene everyone is raving about.  When I saw the original run, which is the only one I have seen, there was no such scene aired.  Only a build-up scene and a morning after, but nothing in between.  I don't even recall a…

I have a confession.  I've have been doing the electronic equivalent of biting my tongue for the past several episodes — make it pretty much every episode after appearance of the Snowmen and the Great Intelligence — but I simply have to say it:  I am severely underwhelmed with Who these days.  Aside from some pretty…

No, and it follows nicely on Cosima's blow-off of her lab mate's rather half-hearted pitch: if he did her a favor he gets to have sex….with himself.

Possibly different shows air in different time spots depending on your location, but Hannibal is presently running against Scandal and Project Runway, Elementary, Criminal Minds, baseball and probably more I cannot bring to mind.  It's a tough spot, and I know I make a personal choice to watch Hannibal live and defer…

The sound you hear is me slapping the back of my addled old head.  You are so right.  I must have been distracted by the sheen on her add-a-pearl necklace.

That sensitive nose is so true to Hannibal's literary roots.  In "Silence of the Lambs" Hannibal identifies Clarice's perfume even when she has not worn it for  the interview — he smells it when she opens her (cheap) handbag.  (Of course it is an ability he appears to share with at least one other serial killer on the…

Much better, brickwalls.  Thank you — I had somehow remembered all the Nina-Stan conversations but not the Stan-Arkady ones.

Uncanny!  Call J.J. Abrams immediately so he can get into the Wayback Machine and cast her in the new movie!
