If I'd just spent the night with this gorgeous man, whom I've known and trusted (and probably lusted after) for years, and he's there when I wake up, it wouldn't occur to me that he wasn't there all night. They tried to set up her reasoning in that scene with Jack, when she was out with the dogs. She talked about how…

This episode really upped the ante. We have the lovely scenes with Alana where Hannibal is more humanized and normal than we've ever seen him. I was even thinking "Hmm, he's kinda cute and boyfriendy here." Then—cut to him feeding Gideon his own leg. I went from GOD, HE'S HOT to EWWWWWWWW in the space of 10 seconds.…

I know that Mads is a swimmer, so maybe they wrote that in. But also, water is supposed to represent Will. So I took that to mean that Hannibal's swimming represented his ease in Will's domain. But then he was caught off guard and not as in control as he thought.

I forget where I heard this, but water is supposed to symbolize Will, while Hannibal is represented by fire.Think of all the water images surrounding Will—he dreams of waves, his bed being submerged, the sound of water dropping in his cell, the river where his "mind palace" is etc. Water symbolises so many things, not…

Bev's slides didn't bother me in the least. The only time the gore bothers me is when it's realistic, like when Abigail's throat was cut. The gore is usually so artful and stylized, and so not in the realm of reality, that it makes it um, er, more palatable. The one thing that did make me squeamy? Bev's organs being…

So obsessed with him, I think I need therapy!

Those lips that touch human flesh shall never touch mine! Ugh. Just think when she realizes she's tongue-kissed a cannibal.

So if next week, Hannibal and Alana make the beast with two backs (and by beast, I mean giant feathered stag), it could be just Will's paranoid vision (and by paranoid, I mean homoerotic.) If so, Will is imagining Hannibal as a REALLY good kisser, but it's lonely in that phone booth he lives in, so who can blame him?…

Mads—the face that launched a thousand shippers.

I know that Mads has done some stage acting—that's how he met his wife. And he went to drama school, but I don't know that he's classically stage-trained the way many British actors are. But he was a professional ballet dancer who studied with Martha Graham, and I can see that, watching him. He's a master of…

A collection of off-the-rack suits from The Men's Wearhouse.

I have a theory—probably wrong—that at least some of the Murders of the Week will turn out to be proteges of Hannibal. Seeing the Ravenstag's face in the flames during the Sykes murder; the self-flaying and hanging of the Angelmaker, which he couldn't have done himself; James Grey being so compliant and lying down…

Mikkelsen is brilliant in his subtlety—far more scary than Hopkins' version, which to me, was just a caricature. He's also sexier than the other Hannibal portrayals. So his seductiveness is very believable. I also think there is an advantage to a series versus a movie. They can take time to build up a false sense of…

I thought it was a nod to SOL when Clarice goes into Buffalo Bill's basement.

The scene where he brings Will his tray of Salisbury Steak/hallucinatory ear he's noticeably smirking. And I thought "Jeez, buddy, you're just an extra in this show. No need to overact." Now I get it!

What blows me away is when you see him something else, or in real life, and he doesn't even look like the same person. They make him look older and almost like an alien in this series. A hot alien.

We were lured in, given a false sense of security, just like Hannibal's victims.Clever how they did that.

Nothing like having a lobotomy performed by Captain Von Trapp's daughter.

Hi! I'm new here, but I've been lurking—what a bunch of wiseasses and wags— my kind of people. Anyway, last night my boyfriend Mads went from vaguely menacing to scary-as-fuck. The coin toss—at first I was like "Awwwww….he saved her life." Then I was all, "That bastard—he saved her life!" He didn't let Bella die…
