Open Letter to Television: ‘Hannibal’ Is the Design We Deserve

"If everything that can happen happens, then you can never really do the wrong thing," Will Graham's hallucination of Abigail told him in the Italian cathedral where her former captor had mutilated a body into  the shape of a human heart. "You're just doing what you're supposed to." Will Graham ends up agreeing with himself and dispenses with the Abigail vision all together, which makes sense in the kitchen-sink style of pop psychology Bryan Fuller's flawed masterpiece of a show, Hannibal, loves to traffic in. Now in it's third season, the show is more beautiful, more chimerical, more heteroclitic than anything you'll find anywhere else on television. Visually it was far more impressive in its baroque grotesquerie than True Detective, a show with the same level of pseudo-intellectualism but way more prestigious buzz surrounding it. And yes, I know that I was part of the problem. Don't think I'm not manifesting my own Abigail Hobbs out of guilt for even indirectly having to do with its fate now dangling in the air like a fish-hooked angel corpse.

Where Were You the Night Fox Canceled ‘The Mindy Project’?

Maybe we're just being Mad Men-nostalgic, but when we got the news that The Mindy Project was canceled by Fox (only to be possibly snapped up by Hulu), but as we stared out our beautiful views drinking single malt scotch, we poured one out for the end of a great run. "Well, there's the end of something...like a carousal." Don Draper would say, not understanding carousals, still after all this time. But what does this Mindy shakeup mean for us?

CBS Cancels ‘Two and a Half Men’: Series Finale Announced

Somewhere in Sherman Oaks, surrounded by his Tiger Blood, Charlie Sheen is smoking twenty cigarettes at once and cackling manically. "Yessss," he wheezes, throwing another one of his Chuck Lorre voodoo dolls (made out of toothpicks!) onto the bonfire of his once-great living room. "Burn! Burn! You'll all burn!"
