meh. give me Hannibal season 4.

side note: it is wild that Clarice is not allowed to mention Hannibal Lecter and Hannibal is not allowed to mention Clarice Starling.

There was talk for a minute that season 4 would've entered Silence of the Lambs territory, but who knows now. I'd be much more interested in that than yet another boring, mediocre spinoff series that only draws interest because it's based on an existing property.

You knew it was coming, but still very funny to see Alex get the Poochie treatment.

(I don’t think this would qualify as a spoiler for anyone who understands this post.)

I really enjoyed this season, but im glad the gang is mostly back together. I knew it was coming but the way they handled Alex was very odd in real time, but also makes sense given the situation.

It ended up being a pretty shitty coincidence that he spent the entire season interacting pretty much exclusively with female characters. The first couple of episodes in particular, where he’s touching base with his ex-wife, drinking with Bobbie and going on a date, it was impossible for me to ignore the context. Then he spent the bulk of the season locked in a tube with Bobbie, which ended up being just enough time for me to kind of forget about it until, you know. Then I let out a bark of laughter loud enough that I was afraid I might wake my kids.

I thought this season was fantastic, much much better than the last one. The bits on the Chet over the last three episodes dragged on for way too long but I’m nitpicking.

Never really liked the Marco storyline in the book and it didn't work for me this season. Still enjoyed the season but I cringed every time Marco was on screen in is Members Only jacket with the popped collar.

Plus Fred. Dammit.

Marco is a borderline comic book villian, so I get that.

Fred was the biggest shock and heartbreak of the season for me

The thing that got me was how out of it the actor who played Fred Johnson was. His acting this season was wooden AF, which was surprising since I thought he had done a serviceable job in prior seasons (also pretty good in The Wire and The Walking Dead previously).

I’m too lazy to search to see if it’s been mentioned already but Freaks & Geeks is on Hulu and just a reminder that it’s the greatest single season of television ever. I’m starting my umpteenth rewatch tonight.

Oh yeah! We binged through 3/4ths of it (for like the umpteenth time) the week before it was announced it was to start streaming Hulu. I am glad they were able to get the original music rights secured.

Also, on a semi-related note: I would appreciate it if Hulu would start streaming Undeclared also. I think it gets overlooked a bit because of how profound Freaks & Geeks was but it was a pretty great and unfortunately overlooked comedy too.

Also, on a completely unrelated note I was watching Ground Hog Day earlier this week and just realized your boy (and I mean boy cuz he was super young) Michael Shannon had a small role in it...

I don't know what it is about Undeclared but I've tried watching it three times and have never made it all the way through. I want to like it.

I was in my freshman year of college when it came out and me and my roommates really enjoyed at the time but I’ve watched it multiple times since and IMO it still works great.
 
WandaVision

watched the first two episodes. It’s not a drama, it’s not a comedy but it’s certainly very interesting. I’m a sucker for mid-century things so I’m enjoying it so far. It’s definitely a slow burn to get to some plot that’s unfolding. I’m excited to see where it goes because I have not seen something like this before. It’s very unique.

Without spoiling anything, I felt like they've ramped up the plot movement while preserving the weirdness/uncannyness this week.
