back a page or 3 they suggest it gets worse.
What's the story with Hannibal? The Americans? Justified?*
Motoring through Deadwood so I'll need something new.
Fred Armisen is Seth Meyer's band leader? I'd be way more interested if he was the host. Meyers isn't as funny as Conan and he isn't as fun as Fallon. His best moments on SNL came when he was a standard white guy trampoline for Bill Hader to jump on. Late Night might suck. Of course, I thought the very same thing when Fallon took over and he's pretty great.
Also, I hate to say this, because I love Conan, but I actually think Fallon's a better fit for the Tonight Show. His opening opening monologue really demonstrated that. He's far more accessible/neighborly/less challenging than Conan.

The John Deere mug thing is funny.
Hilarious. And condescending. Derp, I know it's just a goddam Deere mug in a place where they are a dime a dozen but none of the [expletive] they are doing on TD is an accident so it's either meant to mean something or intentionally meant to not mean something.
The writer tweeted and then deleted this link for some reason:
To me it seems at this point, like it or not, he's made it about the mystery.
Another thing - two episodes left and I still don't see what Hart brings to the table, as a cop or a character. I have little or no interest in him.
That's the fun for some people - finding those little nuggets and speculating on what they might mean. I've enjoyed reading about them. After all, TV shows are supposed to provide entertainment and this one seems to do it beyond the confines of a weekly one hour show. Mission accomplished if you ask me.

Another thing Nic P (I won't try to spell it) tweeted was: Episodes 1-3 Act 1, 4-6 Act 2, 7-8 Act 3.
Act 3 traditionally is when we get those all-goes-to-heck moments where what seems resolved isn't and we start to race toward a conclusion.
And there's the whole Checkhov's Gun thing. We have a lot of unfired guns.
Hannibal just became so [expletive] dumb. Essentially Jack's team is now equivalent to the alton, il police department regarding how to interpret evidence and personality disorders.
