/reads every post in depth aka the opposite of how I read yours.

Bless you.

I'm rewatching it with a friend and I can't help but laugh when they expect something to be resolved at the end of the season and it either takes 3 seasons or is still left unanswered. This show is so ridiculous, but I can't help but love it unconditionally.

I have a feeling things are going to shift pretty soon. This episode ends with the ultimate reveal that Hannibal is the one killed Jack's old partner, the unfortunately inquisitive Miriam Lass. Considering her last name, I wonder if there was any subtext to what happened to her and his experience with Showtime.

Time again for Hannibal with @Dr. Jacoby. This time it's Entrée.

Binging Pretty Little Liars is about the only way to watch it and understand what's going on. They take what would be a B plot in a normal television episode and sequester it over half a season.

Warning: I am tired and have this dull but constant pain in my back and neck so my thoughts are a bit preoccupied with that. What the killer did this week seems particularly okay since if I wanted to have any parts of my body removed, it would currently be my upper back. I am not excited to sleep tonight*. (This will…

@Dr. Jacoby and I are back for more Hannibal discussion, this time with Coquilles, Episode 5 of Season 1.

Bless him and you for showing me this.

Thanks. I do have thoughts about the episode and how it's structured, which I thought was a large improvement so I guessssss you were right, but every time I think about them I'll think about the kid standing in his piss as Molly Shannon is like, "Oh, sweetie. Our clearly long history with much warmth and motherly…

I'm writing "my thoughts" and just a warning that I'm taking my thoughts very literally and writing whatever comes to mind and I think it's going to be incredibly incoherent and have little to do with the episode itself so maybe I'll just post the off-topicness in this post and save the episode thoughts for a separate…

And I'm back to discuss the unaired episode, web-series episode, Molly Shannon episode of Hannibal, Oeuf, with @Dr. Jacoby. I'll have thoughts up in 1-6 hours depending on when I get a chance to write at work.

I get that. It's definitely approaching things differently, but I'm just not sure it's doing it effectively yet. It doesn't feel purposeful or like it's adding a new dimension to it. It just feels like it's cutting parts out because it can rather than twisting them into something else. It's early going, though, and…

That's probably a good way to put my own feelings so far.

I knew you were going to respond with pretty much this exact comment, haha.

That's reassuring. I'm definitely looking forward to it.

I do that already. It's like, procedural 101. I just think that smaller moments can be more definitive than larger ones like the killer's speech last episode. The two interacting without knowing who each other are. Hannibal knows who Will is, but Will doesn't know who Hannibal is, so it gives their conversations the…

Goddamnit. >:(

The procedural elements are definitely a bit of a problem for me in that they're beautifully rendered, but I still feel my mind drifting when the episode turns to that. I'm enjoying the Abigail stuff so far but we'll see how it is in the next couple episodes.

Well that was much better. The cinematography continued to be gorgeous, with backdrops full of life and people covered in shadows. The biggest improvement was Abigail herself, who arrives a fully formed character and one whose motivations aren’t entirely clear in a way that adds to her presence on the show rather…
