  • RT: I had a big problem with the setting of the corpse totem construction. Isolated on a deserted beach backed by a forest, the only realistic way for a single man to construct the totem was while it was laying on the ground, just as Will fantasized. But the core of the totem is a massive log (looked at least two feet thick, about 20 feet long). It would weigh well over two tons and would require a massive truck to get it out to the beach. Add 15 people's body parts stuck to the pole, the construction would probably be close to 6,000 pounds. There's no counterweighted pulley system I can imagine (in the middle of a long stretch of beach) that would enable one man to lift the totem into a vertical position. You would need an industrial crane to lift the totem into a vertical position, and even then it would not be a one man job. On top of that, there's no way one man could build one side of the totem "decorations" and do anything to the other side until it was lifted into a vertical position (and secured in a very deep hole). Then you would probably need scaffolding to attach the body parts to the other side. It was a huge, arduous project that would require industrial vehicles and (probably) a small team of coworkers. All in the middle of nowhere with what appeared to be no easy access. Then we find out that the killer is a non-muscular guy in his mid-60s. (Hannibal, S01E09)
  • RT: My first thought was "where the hell is there a beach in West Virginia?" (Hannibal, S01E09)
  • "It's Filipine, anyway. What is that? Some kind of Chinese-Mexican hybrid, right?" (Maron, S01E04)
