I'm really confused about why Joan would suddenly do a 180° like that. She puts the smackdown on Mycroft because he's a lying liar who lies, but suddenly she's OK with it because he lied to save Sherlock?
Edit: Also, ew.
I happen to be very biteable, pal. I'm moist and delicious.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Right there with you. On both the confusion and the ew.
I'm slightly more on board with Mycroft and his MI6 gig, but not much.
Two things: (1) Detective Bell's dress shirts are tailored magnificently. Dang.
(2) I did love the moment when Sherlock told Joan he understood being betrayed by a lover and he was available to talk about it...and then gave her the hilarious shifty look of Oh God Please Don't Make Me Talk About It I Will Die.
I was hoping for more Moriarty this season, because I love her so, but apparently that is not to be.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Hannibal's been renewed for a third season.

TOTALLY.
That post-coital scene just ruined it for me. Watson is so smart and has been so emotionally balanced all along, that move just seemed crazy.
If she were in her right mind, she would have told him that lying, especially to an addict, is not the way to earn their trust. Given how intelligent Mycroft and Sherlock are, they could have worked it out!

Because books.

It would be weird for S2 to end the series, given how it looks like it's going to end. There can't be many more episodes left, can there?

I don't even know how to talk about tonight's episode. It's like an acid trip hangover.

I think it basically comes down to trust nothing you've seen.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Uh, what are "just deserts"? Whatever they are, I don't think Hannibal's going to get them in the next two episodes.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I think if I had been down with Joan/Mycroft in the first place her turnabout would have been comprehensible. But I wasn't.

ita, I found this definition of "just deserts":
poetic justice: an outcome in which virtue triumphs over vice (often ironically)
Sometimes I think copy writers use words/phrases that sound right, if even they're not.
