Chris Rock did. He even said he was trying to avoid that.
Yes he did. And it was the best of the season. Coincidence?

Nope. Best in the last few seasons I would say.

I really like Hannibal. Was just wondering the other day when it fires back up.

Late spring was the last I heard. April/May-ish.

I ended up binge-watching the entire first season over the weekend. That show kicks so much ass.

And I agree with what I've seen ghostrunner say a few times- I can't believe what they can put on network TV.

I might have mentioned it before, but that one episode with the "wings" - the censors wouldn't let them show butt crack even with the low light, so they had to spackle the cracks with fake blood. Which is A-OK, apparently.

Has anyone watched Banshee on Cinemax? I've heard so ok things, but haven't took the plunge yet.

Martin Freeman did a solo, non-song monologue last week, too (I think). But you're right, song monologues are way too overused.
