Loved this episode and I’m going back for more.
Funny line – Richard Armitage AKA The Red Dragon, calls someone a slug. Thorin Oakenshield called the dragon a slug. I don’t hear folks called slugs that often. I always wonder whether Richard Armitage gets the joke, or suggested the line, or whether my analysis just got the better of me.

Only a fan would notice the slug!! But you could well be onto something. I’ve never heard anyone called a slug in a movie or TV show, that I remember.

The show runners and writers for this series appear to play with the fandom a bit. Last week, I noticed a reference to Hannibal suggesting to a tormented Dolarhyde that he could “toss the Dragon to someone else” – to prevent a loved from the Dragon’s harm. I thought the phrase was an odd one for that character to use, or to refer to a dragon at all. So my thinking went to the old PC incorrect game of tossing dwarves. ( I don’t even know if it is a historical fact) . I laughed again, because, as you know, Richard Armitage played the dwarf of all dwarves, Thorin Oakenshield, in The Hobbit, and in an earlier Lord of the Rings, there were jokes about dwarf tossing.
