Hannibal S02E09

This show is so, so pretty.

This third opening scene with the truck driver has some very interesting shots, but I have no idea what that thing was.

"Adapt. Evolve. Become." Hmmm

Will's therapy session - I love these tightly-framed close-ups.

So this lady patient. (Margot?) What's her deal?

In Margot's therapy session there are no straight-on shots of Hannibal - close-up from above, medium shot in profile.

Haha. Hannibal's hat.

Is the stag Will's patronus? I think the stag is Will's patronus.

"A student of predators." I like the way that sounds.

It's really too bad there isn't a lady scientist anymore now that Beverly is dead. It's also too bad that she hasn't shown up in any dreams or visions.

I like this Margot character.

"Private carnage" - another good phrase.

"Typhoid and swans" - ANOTHER good phrase.

Maybe just stay inside and lock the door, Will.


STILL no fallout from the murder of Chilton. What gives??

Game of Thrones S04E04

These tunnels remind me of Jerusalem.

Hooray for the white lady!

There is something vaguely Marxist about this "You must free yourselves!" thing.

It's nice of Jaime to sit on the floor with him.

We've never seen much of Jaime and Tyrion's relationship. This is nice.

Part of me would really like to see Sansa become a killer. But I hope she doesn't.

Nice scene transitions in this episode.

Hmm, Margaery doesn't seem to happy that her grandmother killed Joffrey. HMMMM

The Night's Watch armor looks kind of like a trash can.

What IS that guy doing at the wall? Isn't he the one who cut off Jaime's hand? He's one of Roose Bolton's guys, no? Why is he pretending to be a criminal up at the wall?

Hm, what's going on with this Jaime/Cersei interaction here?

Oh no, dear, Margaery. Don't seduce a child!

I do love her makeup in this scene, though.

Nothing described as "our little secret" is ever, ever good for the person to whom it is being described.

Aww, are Jaime and Brienne palling around? I love it!

All Jaime's good doings this episode make it even more hard for the viewer that he raped Cersei last episode.

(I really want to tousle Nikolaj's hair. (Not Jaime's. Nikolaj's.))

Oh good! Pod isn't out of the picture!

He's an interesting character, Jaime.

I don't remember Bran running into Sam.

Ohhhhhhh riiiiiight, Locke is trying to get close to Snow to find Bran.

White Walkers a'comin! (The water freezing is like the ripples in the water glass that show that the T Rex is coming in Jurassic Park.)

Didn't Bran's vision indicate he was supposed to go back to King's Landing or something?

So the girl (what's her name?) sees that women are being raped and she feels unsafe and wants to go, and the guys she's with are like, "What? Why? No way!" And then they all get captured.

So what do the White Walkers do with these babies?

So the White Walkers have, like, a whole society going on way up north.

Orphan Black S02E02

So then where's Mrs. S?

Apparently the Orphan Black fandom really likes Delphine. I'm not crazy about her, though.

I don't understand what just happened with Brenda.

"Aynsley wore a scarf in the kitchen." NEVER wear a scarf in the kitchen.

Poor Alison.

Also, I think I have the same sunglasses as Felix.

Who are these farmer people?

Once Upon a Time: S03E19: A Curious Thing

Oh look, the traditional Snow White haircut. It looks terrible.

Aurora got turned into a monkey?? This is the perfect time for Mulan to come back.

The kiss-curse on Hook has been pretty useless, so why bother with it in the first place?

So they cast their own curse? Then how did Zelena know what was going on?

Sometimes Charming is, like, really eager to sacrifice himself.

Aw, this is actually kind of sad.

But there were no memories in the original curse?

Bates Motel S02E08: Meltdown

Awwww, little Freddie!

Hahaha! It's the owl!!

Oooh, is he going to sit him in the parlor? No. Oh well.

I'm excited to see what happens when someone actually comes at Norma.

Is Norma *trying* to get a rise out of Norman?

Dylan has the most sense of anyone on this show.

I'm still waiting to see what the deal is with this George guy and his sister. They're too nice for this town.

"What about dinner?" Really? Did you even hear all the insecurities she just expressed?

Ooooh, I like creepy and malicious Norman!

Is Norma using George as a pawn in her relationship with Norman? Isn't that backwards?

So everybody wants Zane dead, right? Just get Sheriff Romero to do it or something.

Norma isn't there when Norman gets kidnapped because she was having sex. Does that make up for season 1 when Norman wasn't there to help Norma when she was raped?

The Wire S03E01: Time After Time

Let's see if I can guess the theme of this season from the opening credits. Let's see...politics, construction, drugs, wiretaps, violence. Sound right?

Nice speech, but I don't think that's going to work.

Was that guy reading a dictionary?

"Adjourn your asses"

Is that Littlefinger???

It totally is Littlefinger. My lord he looks young.

Oh, Bubbles. You're such a clown sometimes.

It must suck to be an addict. All the money you get goes into the needle.

Jimmy doesn't even sit next to his kids at the game?

I like the way this show shows being a cop as a JOB. The station is a workplace. You don't see that in a lot of cop shows.

Rawls is a good Deputy Ops.

So Cedric has to be pretend to be living with his wife to advance her campaign even though it hurts his career?

Jimmy takes this all awfully personally.

"What the fuck did I do?" The Jimmy McNulty catchphrase.

"They're behaving like assholes in the presence of sworn officers, boss." Herc sure has a way with words.

Are we ever going to meet Pryz's wife?

Is this guy who just got out of jail (Cudi?) this season's tragic anti-hero?

Hannibal S02E08

Marry me, Mads.

That's one thing about eating fish - you can tell that it used to be a fish. (For better or worse...)

So is that it for Chilton? We don't get any fallout?

That little flashback exposition for Hannibal's patient was like a perfume commercial slash acid trip.

Alana, dear, that is NOT the only thing weirder than finding a woman in a horse.

This victim has shades of Silence of the Lambs - the chrysalis idea, the thing lodged in her throat...

Will walking into the stable looks like the Exorcist.

Wait, how did the killer get the bird in her chest?

Imagine if a medical doctor and his patient were playing games like Hannibal and will are playing. What would that be? Trying to diagnose each other, I suppose. I thought this train of thought would be funnier when it started.

This episode is very odd. I'm not sure how. I do wish there was some fallout from the murder of Chilton. That was kind of a big deal.

This parallel between kicked-in-the-head and his social worker and Will and Hannibal is a little too clear-cut.

Why is this an FBI case in the first place?

Oh. My heart actually hurts for this guy discovering all his animals gone.

The social worker is a little too straight-up sociopath.

What was the score of last season like? Was it also all this dissonant percussion?

"Is your social worker in that horse?"

"But you didn't deserve to kill him, Peter." Isn't that what you were going to do, Will? Kill the killer? Didn't you just say that doing bad things to bad people felt good? Is Peter different because he's "simple"?

They asked if the social worker was in the horse - they didn't ask if the social worker was dead.

I wondered why the image of Hannibal petting the sheep tickled me, and then I realized that a sheep is like a lamb!

Are Hannibal and Will going to start killing people righteously now together?

(Okay, I guess the clear parallel is all right because they address that it's a parallel.)

OMG. The way Hannibal put his hand on the back of Will's head/neck!!!!
