I will totally join you in a "best cardio music" thread; my playlist is currently three hours long (between the radio clips I get an average of around 45 minutes to an hour of music per walk), and the first thought in my head every time I hear a new song is, "does this belong on the walking playlist?" I hope those of you who're trying ZR! out enjoy it! Be forewarned, you will fall in love with Sam.

My workout? Three times a week, the continued survival of hundreds of people is dependent on me traversing the post-apocalyptic English countryside in order to gather supplies and information, all while staying one step ahead of the undead. In other words, I play Zombies, Run! Less a game than an engaging and well-acted audio drama where you occasionally have to run faster to keep ahead of the zoms, it's one of the best motivational tools I've found. It turns my media bingeing habit into an asset, because my usual "just one more episode" turns into "just one more lap around the park." It's taken me from "no physical activity" to "yesterday I walked five and a half miles" in the past year, and that's with several months off for an unrelated knee injury.

Yeah, but right now nobody but Will and Hannibal (and maybe Chilton) knows that.

Which I didn't notice until this time through. I find myself wondering if Duke knew she was investigating them. I suspect he didn't, and I wonder if he'd be more annoyed at her for dragging him into it or for not taking a damn night off. . I just couldn't find a reason to care about the character enough to feel like her getting a mini-arc was justified. Nothing about her writing or acting appealed to me, and I spent her scenes just wondering where this all was going I have a vague thought about the Chief's reaction, but it's tied into a lot of timeline stuff that comes after this episode: I can imagine a scenario in which Nathan panicking about his own Trouble and "refusing" to acknowledge that this happened before, the last time the weird stuff happened (whether because he's in denial or because he is just genuinely not as cognizant of what happened when he was a kid as Garland thinks he is), was the last straw that made Garland say, "Fine, if you're not going to accept what's happening here I'm done trying to reason with you about it." It's not a good reaction, but I can imagine it being a plausible one.

Not when the only interaction he had ever had with Hannibal prior to accusing him occurred while he was in the grips of a debilitating illness that caused him to lose time, sieze, and hallucinate.
-
People keep saying things like this, and I don't understand it at all. Her mentor, colleague, and friend of many years has been accused of being a serial killer by a man who can't provide a shred of physical evidence and who was until recently suffering from a severe illness that destroyed his perception. "I am not going to assume that someone I know is a terrifying murderer based on the testimony of a clinically disturbed person" isn't a great show of trust, it's kind of a prerequisite for basic social interaction.

Say What?: Commercials That Made Us Scratch Our Heads
Tabbyclaw replied to Lola16's topic in Commercials
There's probably not enough light coming in through the opening for the birds to notice the mirror. -
Kinda weird to be watching an episode in which Duke's boat is sinking now, isn't it? This episode is one of the better ones for the interplay between the A and B plots. The way the situation on the boat informs the situation in the station is well done, and even though the boat plot obviously gets more screen time both stories feel well-served. This is the first episode where the question, "Agent Howard, exactly what is your deal?" really starts to become a thing. What the hell is his deal, and what was with the line asking Garland if he thinks Audrey deserves all this? (season 3 spoilers) And in addition to their comment about Audrey needing a "push" and needing staying in Haven to be her idea, I think this visit of Howard's was meant to close a "plot hole" for her. Audrey's smart and inquisitive; if the FBI just let her attempt to slip through the cracks she'd ask questions about why nobody was coming after her. Julia is still my least favorite character who has ever appeared on more than one episode of the show , but I'll admit that she was necessary for this episode, at least as a reciever for exposition. Duke's attitude towards his business is important character information that he wouldn't have shared so readily with any of the existing characters, and it was also important to see how quickly he was willing to capitulate when someone he considered helpless got pulled into the danger. It was also important to see when Duke didn't back down; the shot of him attempting to shoot one of the kidnappers in the face was something Eric Balfour came up with and argued for convincingly enough that the writers agreed to allow it. He's also partof why Duke ends up looking as banged-up as he does; he wanted it to be abundantly clear that this is something that's happened to Duke before and he can take a good deal of physical abuse without rolling over. I'm going to leave the B-plot alone for the most part, because other people talk about the relationship between Nathan and Garland a lot better than I do. (And because the whole "trying to explain to a parent that I don't talk to you because you've spent my whole life training me to assume you won't listen" thing is hitting close to home and I'm kinda bitter right now.) But I do want to note how much Lucas Bryant shines in this episode. It's not always noticeable since Nathan seems to get fewer major emotional moments than Audrey or Duke, but when he has them he knocks them out of the park every time.

Hell, I didn't understand why the trolls wiped her memory at all. Kids accidentally injure their siblings while playing all the time; why were they acting like this incident was some kind of trauma that would damage Anna forever if she knew about it? All they did was further isolate Elsa and make her afraid, which is the exact thing they were telling her parents would make things worse. In fairy tales as on the Internet, never take advice from trolls. Come to think of it, based on receiving terrible advice the king and queen taught one of their daughters to fear her own body and gave the other no information at all because they'd been told that teaching her what was going on would make the situation more dangerous. This movie needs to be shown to people who advocate abstinence-only sex ed.
-
I agree that she probably knows when her period is due down to the hour, but given how often she goes into denial about things that wreck her plans (like the last Flu Season episode), I can totally picture her pretending that a late period or potential contraception failure just wasn't happening.
-
The dress was blue-green with scale-like sequins and it flared into fishnet fins. 'Mermaid' makes total sense.

Giving out personal information about something he can't explain to a total stranger (and a cop, no less) isn't Duke's style. He doesn't tell Audrey what he knows until A) he starts to trust her and B) Vanessa reveals that he's linked to the weirdness that Audrey is investigating, making Audrey a necessary ally. For Matt, who we know met with her at least once, we can blame that weird blindness that seems to affect all kids when they see their teachers out of context. Or maybe he'd only met with her the once, and it wasn't enough to make an impression. But for the others, there's really no reason to assume they'd recognize her at all. I wouldn't have been able to recognize anyone who worked at my high school who wasn't a teacher I'd actually had, and I only know what my guidance counselor looked like because I got shortlisted for a very prestigious scholarship my senior year (didn't end up getting it) and she helped me apply.

Jack explicitly encouraged her to go check out this lead she'd found regarding the victim's medical records. It's not some absurd whim she had and never told anyone about.

Say What?: Commercials That Made Us Scratch Our Heads
Tabbyclaw replied to Lola16's topic in Commercials
If my junk mail is anything to go by, someone could have told them that he was turning 28 and they'd spam the hell out of him. -
Eddie Izzard helped me guess at the solution to this one. As soon as we saw the dairy farm all I could think of was his routine about purchasing anthrax by pretending to be a suicidal cow.

Squab drumstick on a fig tartlet (which, yes, became Fig Newtons when it was actually filmed).
-
I'm doing a massvie Chuck rewatch and I just got to that one a couple days ago. I've never been a fan of that song (I love Rush but almost never love their singles), but it fits the show and the episode perfectly. That show was just great at picking music in general.
-
It's actually a fairly common reaction, from what I understand. Being confronted with death makes people want to do something that says "Yes, I am alive," and sex is way up there on that list. It's also apparently a comment that comes up in one of the novels.
-
In my usual Hannibal haunt (Cleolinda's recaps/journal/Tumblr), we attribute these things to his Murder Wizard powers. He'd have to have some kind of color-coding system. Red dots are for eating, blue dots are for future patronage.

S02.E19: The Many Mouths of Andrew Colville
Tabbyclaw replied to formerlyfreedom's topic in Elementary [V]
Colville was imprisoned at Newgate from 2001 to 2004, during which time the prison doctor made a cast of his teeth. After his release from that prison stint, he was convicted of murdering two women and reincarcerated. According to Joan's colleague, he confessed to those murders on his deathbed. A few months prior to this episode occurring, the prison doctor, who was himself dying, found out about Colville having been convicted of murder based on his bite marks and wrote to Colville's mother to say that Colville might not have committed the murders after all. It's never explicitly stated on what grounds Mrs. Colville was filing her lawsuit, but I assume it was an accusation of negligence or mishandling that led to her son's conviction based on faulty evidence. She had her own set of dentures made and killed the other women to further cast doubt on her son's conviction. -
Interesting Interesting. As much as this is a plot-essential episode for Duke, I never really thought of it as being personality-heavy. Now that you mention it, though, it very much is, considering his opinions on fate and the "plot" of life, and how those have since been tested. And speaking as someone who's done a lot of (fanfic-related) thinking about Duke's teenage years, his delivery on "No one was cool in high school" has probably informed a lot of my theories.
-
What I'd love to see is them going out on a date, getting about ten minutes into it, and then both going, "This is weird, isn't it? Do you want to not do this? 'Cause I want to not do this. Okay. See you at work."

It's a completely inelegant meal (aside from the pastry mask), in contrast to the elegant, strangely dignified/respectful way he displayed her.
