I think the AVC reviews have been pretty cogent in arguing that the season's all about the blind spots of the main characters, laying great plans only for them to be ruined by belligerent opportunists who can only think one step at a time.

That his story was inconsistent with what we were shown doesn't necessarily mean he didn't do it, just that he was using the scared kid defense to eke out some leniency from the state, leniency that he now definitely will not be getting.
Doesn't seem like a stretch that he'd shoot but it feels like a bit of a stretch that he'd get into an actual shootout with Art. On the one hand the identity of the shooter was obscured for a reason, and the blood pact thing at the end of last week's episode would make a natural prologue to a botched hit by Kendal. On…
There are only two people who can directly implicate Will in the murder, Hannibal and Gideon. As far we know, Gideon danced around the issue and let Alana come to her own conclusions as to what happened and Hannibal being the target of the hit, and the last thing Hannibal will do is rat Will out to the FBI - he's…
Surprised not to see McNulty on this thing
FWIW, there was some interview with the showrunners that ran a few weeks ago saying Rachel isn't getting any plot time this season or in the last season. So she joins the ranks of every other female character on the show that isn't Mags Bennett, which is to say she'll continue to be underwritten and a plot device at…
It would be a bad investment for Boyd, given Danny's complete recklessness. Clearly they are going to fuck up the deal, or end up with significant leverage over Boyd. Boyd will fail this season.
I get that a Bob Marley remix album is probably bad (even the best remix albums are lumpy and uneven by nature) and that the Thievery Corporation remix is certainly unremarkable, but the most fun thing about this feature is Marah Eakin's apparent ignorance of what dub is or why you might "space out" a reggae song.…
The last generation of consoles is actually really old. The 360 debuted 8 years ago this month.
Seriously though, I need someone to explain to me exactly what "a quiet, confident edge" is and how the PS4's tasteful design exudes it.
Yes. "Best controller ever released with a console" is pushing it (Sega's design was perfect, and Microsoft's controllers were more or less directly descended from them) but it's easily the best of the Playstation controllers by a mile.
Yes. One of the nice things about the PS4 is that its OS is just like that of a PC's, meaning that unlike previous consoles, the system itself doesn't typically crash when the program running on it does. My internet is spotty so Assassin's Creed will sometimes freeze up as Ubisoft's godawful (and more or less…
The worst thing Apple ever did was establish aesthetics as the primary feature of consumer products, such that you could get 700 words into a product review before aspects related to usage are considered.
iirc he was intimately involved in its production
Will didn't take the fall for the Chesapeake Ripper murders. Hannibal killed the girl in the first episode and arranged the murder scene in such a way as to both destabilize Will and grant him insight into the MO of the Minnesota Shrike. Then Hannibal killed Dr. Sutcliffe and Abigail Hobbes, and none of those deaths…
In Red Dragon it's established that a lot of the torture the Tooth Fairy inflicts is done pre-mortem, and he's also a rapist iirc, so
Clancy Brown would be a good Tooth Fairy but he's a bit old now, isn't he.
And yet, she doesn't seem particularly horrified, and vouches for him to the FBI without hesitation
That was a lot of blood, plus all the DNA evidence. She's as not-dead as Miriam Lass is
