JLM is really an astonishing actor. I'm impressed.
(I was spoiled for Irene being cast -- although it didn't say if it was for flashbacks or present day -- but even if I hadn't been, the reveal was pretty obviously going to be her. Or perhaps I'm too cynical.)
I loved the red paint on her feet. Her feet are first thing we see, and for a second, you wonder -- is that blood? Is that Irene, or just Irene's body? That whole scene was marvellously tense.
Loved the music choice, too. Don Giovanni overture, I think. The ascending scales at the anticipation of the reveal -- very dramatic.
I am really loving Hannibal. It's just so beautifully twisted. I don't even know how to begin talking about it though. Other than... Ellen Greene! Gillian Anderson! Lacrimosa! Recipe box/Rolodex! Recurring stag! Nothing is vegetarian! omg.
So. The food stylist for Hannibal has a blog. [link]
This just made my day:
I just watched the #Hannibal episode "Ceuf". Um, Happy Mother's Day?

I hadn't realised Southland had been officially cancelled (instead of by implication): [link]
Yep.
So here's my Castle prediction. She says no, or rather something that boils down to "not yet" and then probably during February sweeps she asks him.
This week's episode of H50 kinda crystallised why it's the last of the Monday recordings that I watch--the scene where Ma does magic in the elevator shaft? There was no acting there. There was, instead, a setup for an untrusted audience that Steve would use magic in the climax of the episode. They could have seeded it more subtly in the conversation where he first brought up magic and his dissatisfaction with his new all action mother, but instead there's a scene for most of which I'm thinking "she's crazy, and not a cool badassed type, or even a random delightful type. It was kinda stiff and awkard, and I don't think O'Loughlin gets that he has facial muscles he can use for subtext.
It is kind of a waste to nuke a season pass with one episode left, but if it doesn't have me now, it is the beautiful cake of others, not of mine.
