All 3 seasons of Elementary are on Hulu now. Yay!
I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Finished Hannibal last night. It was radiant and horrifying, and among the many other things I want I now also want Rutina Wesley to be given all the roles in all the things, always.
And oh, Bedelia. You wouldn't mind being Bluebeard's last wife, and he did have a last wife but it wasn't you. Someone in the comment threads at Birth.Movies.Death (used to be Badass Digest) noted that Gillian Anderson had also recently played Miss Havisham, and there was a forlornly dreadful Havisham echo in that image of her sitting there, trembling and waiting for the host who would never arrive and the terrible feast that would never begin. (Which I know wasn't Fuller's original intent with that image, but it's such a great fan theory I can't let go of it, and he's even said that now that he's heard all the fan theories and fallen in love with so many of them that he kind of regrets having clarified his original intent in a post-finale interview; he feels he should've left it to anyone and everyone's interpretation.)

I'm so glad Rutina got the chance to play a prominent character who was always understated and gentle—good example of her range when taken with the always-shrieking Tara on True Blood.
I'm afraid I can't subscribe to the theory of Bedelia cutting off her own leg, roasting it in a coal pit, and then hopping into the dining room carrying it on a tray that size for dinner guests who will never show. I think Hannibal has to be in the building, though given Will's spiteful glee at announcing meat is back on the menu I wouldn't rule out the possibility of him being the sous-chef who actually prepared the entree.

There were three place settings at the table. I am for the theory that Hannibal and Will had prepared that entree.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Too hot to handle.

Is this where we talk about Blacklist?
Because I just figured out why I'm so annoyed by the turn that the show is taking (beside my general hatred of everyone on the show except Red, Cooper, and Dengue). It's like Hannibal. The female FBI agent falls under the spell of the charismatic devil, then goes dark side and starts killing people and "becomes" him.
Of course, I don't know how they're going to redeem Keen with the FBI without some deus ex machina BS.

At least the Hannibal TV show had the novelty that the FBI agent falling under the spell of the charismatic devil was male.

Actually, I was talking about Hannibal the book. Guess that the trope springs eternal.
