I want the restaurant business to be a front for his Super Secret world government whatnot.
Steph calls it!
And I want him to just be...not so offputting.
1 out of 2 isn't bad.
I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

Totally!
I can't say I loved that reveal. Sherlock is a savant when it comes to noticing when people are lying/hiding things and yet he does not know that his brother is actually a smooth operator pretending to be less-than?
Humph.
Also, I'd like to smack the director/editor of this episode for setting it up that two people were about to be shot but the bad guys take the longest, least meaningful pause in history to contemplate the mortality of not themselves, such that a code word can be uttered with lugubrious gravity?
Threw me right out of the story and rendered the reveal painfully eyerolly.
Be better, Show! I like you. You can be awesome when the camera isn't actually on Sherlock, can't you?

This episode was directed by Lucy Liu.

Sad face.
Even worse. I would have hoped for better, given how much experience she has and how many actors turned director do a pretty good job.
Maybe it was the writing.

I doubt Lucy Liu had much input on the script. Though actors often have different perspectives on scripts than viewers do.

Because books.
Hannibal: This is one of the trippiest episodes yet, but the lighting is driving me nuts -- I can't *see* some of it well enough.
And every once in a while, Mads Mikkelson's accent is tough to parse, especially if he's speaking softly or quickly.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Damned if I know. That was the absolute most off-kilter episode of Hannibal ever (which I'm pretty sure I say every single week, but this time I really mean it (which I also say every single week)). If that denoument was not a giant fake-out, I may be broken. It was a fake-out, wasn't it? Will didn't do what he surely seems to have done, did he?

Because books.
That's what I'm saying! I keep thinking it has to be a fakeout, and he's trying to trap Hannibal into admitting something or ... I don't know! But if that was so, why show him chasing Freddie and breaking her car window and all? Why wouldn't he have said, I need you to help me, here's what we'll do?
Also, why was there a jaw in the freezer?!
I thought the surreal group sex thing was confusing enough, but the end broke me.
