Hannibal is awesome. His standup set on Fallon was super funny, he's killing it in Broad City. Can't wait for his new standup special on Comedy Central at the end of March.

The John Deere mug thing is funny.

When one is pointing out the John Deere coffee mugs that a character in "True Detective" drinks from, one might have passed into "Room 237" territory.

I see that The Americans is available on Amazon. Am I going to get addicted quickly if I start watching?

It seems like it just misses some people for whatever reason, but I love it.

Do you have 12 hours to spare and a comfortable computer chair?

Hilarious. And condescending. Derp, I know it's just a goddam Deere mug in a place where they are a dime a dozen but none of the [expletive] they are doing on TD is an accident so it's either meant to mean something or intentionally meant to not mean something.

Also, weird Hannibal/Hannibal Burress joke.

The writer tweeted and then deleted this link for some reason:
Sensible advice to viewers, I think-- http://www.uproxx.com/tv/2014/02/true-d ... d-opinion/ … via @UPROXX
To me it seems at this point, like it or not, he's made it about the mystery.

Another thing - two episodes left and I still don't see what Hart brings to the table, as a cop or a character. I have little or no interest in him.

Not to break up the Hannibal discussion, but for those that have watched House of Cards does it get better after the first couple episodes because I wasn't really impressed.

I root for Hannibal. I thought/think Graham was/is a little whiney biotch.
[SHOW]
I found it completely unbelievable that Bloom didn't connect the dots and recognize Hannibal was the copycat
I wish Hannibal wouldn't feed his victims to people though, that's pretty [expletive] up.
