I see them as playing a real high stakes chess game here. Using people as their pieces, with all the pitfalls and uncertainty that goes with it and both are doing it extremely well. This means that both have to be really smart and really good at reading people and their psychology. Will has nothing to lose at this point - people think he's guilty, he's incarcerated. Hannibal actually has everything to lose, but probably doesn't see it that way.

They (writers, TPTB) have made her tolerable for me, but I really wish she weren't a regular character. If she appeared as often as Zoe did, or Elias did, that would be fine for me. She's just on too often, and I find her mostly redundant with Reese. His screen time seems to have been diminished with her joining on full time.

I love Fusco. Yes, he started out a dirty cop, but through his work with Team Machine he started feeling good about himself again, and wanting to be good again, and he did change. His part is small, in terms of screen time, but I have seen real story and real growth. I often think Reese is too short or gruff or just rude to him, and since I usually love Reese that bothers me. But I do think he is coming around, At least the others (Finch, Carter before she died (sniff) and Shaw) seem to value him.

I am looking forward to the update show several of the cleaning crew and therapists talked about in their FB posts. This was my favorite of all the hoarding shows (I couldn't really get into the others) and I think it was because of "cast" and crew.

I agree on all points. This is my favorite talk/chat show. I am really looking forward to it's return. I, too, wish the guests would stay on for the whole show on some of the American talk shows. I think it happened on Carson often, actually. They didn't all come out at once, but that was why there was a couch. They would scoot down as new guests came on. And it was often really funny too. I agree with others though, that not all of the American shows could (or should) handle it or be set up that way. But I wish a couple of them still did that, if not all the time at least regularly. Watching our talk shows (American ones) you'd think the celebs would never want to interact with each other. Watching Graham's is quite the opposite impression, even when they don't know each other or had met before, I love it when one guest is a big fan of another, but it's also equally as fun when they have no idea who the other person is.

Reading the Small Talk thread reminded me how many great quotes there are. Whenever I read them, I hear them in the girl's voices. They are all just so memorable. Here's one that often pops in my head when someone greatly annoys me. "I hate you! I hate you! I hate you! Drop dead!" It's not even that funny, it just fits so many things. And I always hear Blanche's voice with it. I also like "Maybe I am just a mean old lady like the paperboy said." and "Beat it, you 50 year old mattress!" And so many more.

Scroll down on this site to see how they tried to finagle the house's floor plan. Kind of hilarious.

I thought that's where they were headed way back in season 1 when Regina was trying to open the salon and Katherine was starting to look for something more in life. So I'm not sure that's going to happen, although I'd love it if they did go that route. As for Tank and Jorge and any other boy, I'd be surprised if we see them in the summer. Maybe a glimpse of them and then gone. These guys come and go so fast - they are just plot pushers.
