on another note: Will, for fuck's sake, take a recorder to one of your therapy sessions. Play to Jack Crawford how Hannibal talks about killing, feelings of power and his patients. Instant profit.

An alright episode. But compared to the totally action-packed first 6,7 episodes, the last two have felt like gap fillers, kind of. Lots of talking and metaphors with Will and Hannibal, spooky noises, and gruesome killers of the week. Meanwhile Chilton and even Miriam have somehow vanished? I wish they would go back…

B-? Seems really harsh.. for me this was an A- episode at least. I really liked the battle, interesting to see the Vikings "lose" for once. Also hooray to Thorunn actually becoming an interesting character. And it was such a crowning moment of awesome to see Athelstan return. I was honestly expecting that he would…

I'm so glad they made a point of Oberyn being completely bisexual. Bisexual erasure happens way too often in fiction and they called that out.

Hmm. Worst Hannibal episode so far for me. I don't want Chilton to be dead, he just started being awesome! Alana and Jack are now bordering on criminally stupid. Yes, the Ripper HAS to be the sickly, flamboyant psychiatrist who almost peed himself in fear when he was chased through the forest. The guy who CAN'T DIGEST…

Dear god, what an episode. WHAT AN EPISODE.
Surprisingly, Beverley's reveal wasn't that shocking to me.. I really got angry when we saw Lecter eating her kidneys, though. So far, I was kind of rooting for Hannibal, but at the end of the episode I noticed that now I just want him to suffer in the most possible detail.

That scene was actually the scariest thing of the episode for me.
Picasso face and hammering into eye sockets, all well and good, but that
short scene of Hannibal switching off the lights with that feral speed
was seriously chilling. I wouldn't wanna be trapped with that in a dark
cellar. It was like one of these…
