Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

I saw a promo for that the other day. I have vague fondness for Kristin Lehman based on her guest-star bit in an old X-Files episode, "Kill Switch". She was the hacker who tried to upload her consciousness to cyberspace or some such. I think it was written by William Gibson? Although the thing I remember the best from that ep was the rainbow lights and "Twilight Time" playing in M&S's car.

I may go looking for a pilot to watch...

Been using Perception as my workout show. For me the perfect workout show is brainless without being so dumb as to cause groans, fast paced and distracting but not distracting I can't keep my form going. This seems to fit. Shame in a way, because the concept and actors seems like it could have been much better than it is. Does it get either better or worse? Cause sometimes show take a while to find themselves. BTW the main character seems pretty good at distinguishing hallucinations from reality. Do we ever explicitly discover whether he does not know that blond friend/ex is a hallucinatory version or merely does not care?

Always Anti-fascist!

At the end of the season, yes. But I will not give it away, because that was a nice emotional moment for Eric McCormack. Not exactly a great show, but I still liked it.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

TB, I would say it's still not quite as good as I think it could be, but I did think it improved as it went.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I wonder what the long term proposition is for Hannibal. The fact alone that he announces every time we the audience know he's serving long pig makes me want to hit someone, anyone, in the face,

Will is great. I love him. Jack and Bella (is that the right nickname?) are painfully beautiful, but the tension feels unsustainable.

Also, shit, was that opening sequence for this week's episode "real" and not a delusion? Dammit, I need to go pay attention to the rest of it.

Whereas that makes me cackle delightedly. I love Hannibal, and I'm hoping they get at least 4 seasons, because Bryan Fuller said that would get us to the events of Red Dragon.

I am two episodes behind on Hannibal, but there are plans next week for fancy fancy snacks, booze, and a Hannibal marathon.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

We've watched the first six or seven episodes in the past couple of days. Husband really likes it, I'm having a harder time suspending my disbelief. Like, people actually consider this guy a friend and don't run screaming from him? And they think it's a good idea to put Will in the field? And do that many people seriously go to dinner parties and say "Yum, organ meats?"

Part of the reason that I (and the StuntHusband and the Infamous BlueJay) like the show so much is because of how hard it is hitting all of the classic Gothic (not Goth) tropes. And the visual design!

And do that many people seriously go to dinner parties and say "Yum, organ meats?"

Well, I would. But I've been told I have odd tastes.
