Because books.

Hannibal's been renewed for a third season.

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 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.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Just desserts or just deserts? That reminds me of the Panic! Video where Spencers idea was a desert paradise, but he wrote dessert, and somehow it had gotten too far into production to stop. So there is a dessert paradise in Nine in the Afternoon

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Desert is one of those archaic words that survive in sayings and phrases. It means that which is deserved.

I have never seen it written any way but "just desserts". Consider me educated, but still confused why they'd pick the archaic spelling unless they're v. caught up in their eruditeness.

However, I find myself mostly given up on the show after this episode. There's no one left I feel for. Hannibal will not get his just anything, Will Graham has perplexed me beyond empathy, and everyone else is just running around and not accomplishing anything.

eta: Oh, CSI: Cyber got picked up.

Really? Huh. The ways of CBS are mysterious.

"Just desserts" sounds like trying to have your pudding if you don't eat your meat.
