This thread is for procedural TV, shows where the primary idea is to figure out the case. [NAFDA]

Yes, that was one of the freakiest things I've ever seen. I'm continually shocked at what Fuller is able to get away with on network television.
That was creepier than most of the things I've seen in R-rated horror movies!
I saw Hugh Dancy on a talk show the other night and he said that Standards & Practices objected to seeing the butt cracks of two victims who were posed nude in a kneeling prayer position with angel wings flayed out of the skin of their backs. The solution? Douse them in more blood.
The FrankenWendigo/Dire Ravenstag made me sad. It was extremely creepy (yay!), but I was so fond of Dire Ravenstag!
I am torn on the episode. It was gorgeous, and dammit, Abigail, the poor girl. But the ep felt like there was not enough story. Or the story that was there was oddly paced.
Also, I really want to see Price & Zeller investigating Hannibal's murder basement. I want to see Freddie's writeup.
How many times can the same person's death come as a complete and shattering surprise?
I suddenly want to tweet to Fuller, "OMG, you killed Abigail! You bastard."
Are we going to discuss the "I forgive you"? That was a holy shit moment for me.
This series is like a painting. And filmed and framed as such. There's plot dev and such, but to me, so much secondary to the details that you get looking at the final result. Even if you don't know what it is yet.
"I forgive you" gave me full-body shudders.
Earlier, when Hannibal told Will to just let himself sink into the calm of the water, I felt pure savage fury at him: That's WILL'S memory palace. That river belongs to WILL. BACK OFF. You have no right! Just a blast of incandescent rage at him.
ION, oh, show.
I rewatched the episode, and like it much more now. (Also, watching it without commercials helps. Yes, we are one of the few households who still don't have a Tivo or similar.)
Are we going to discuss the "I forgive you"? That was a holy shit moment for me.
I think that comes straight from the part of Will's psyche that still wants to go with Hannibal, the part that had Abigail with him in Florence.
Oh, the show totally set that moment up. It still made me say holy shit.
Is anyone watching Aquarius?
I recorded the first episode hut didn't get around to watching it. I'm ambivalent about it: David Duchovny=yes but Manson=no. Was kind of hoping other people's reactions could motivate me one way or the other.
