Agree. At first I was worried whether he could carry off the American accent. I think he's doing a great job too.

6'3"? Tallest dwarf I know! As much as the AV club liked to shit on the Hobbit, he was far and away the best part of the 3rd movie. He made going mad tragic and touching. Familiar, I think.

Hahaha, I only wish I came up with the phrase. It has been around the fandom (particularly fan fiction) since season 1. Bryan Fuller is quite well versed in this, and he keeps track of these things too.

Oh I've seen it, and I agree. He's amazing and a chameleon in the best sense of the word!

Especially since like Hugh Dancy, he's a Brit.

What an awesome episode. What got me the most was the effective way that Richard Armitage communicated both his loss of sanity and his self loathing. His reaching out to Reba was his last ditch effort to connect with humanity. To do the speech impediment and the American accent, good job dude!

Well yes, but the whole "dramatic get on a sailboat to sail across the whole damn ocean to my love in Florence" thing was a bit over the top!

He was like "You're batshit insane? Yessssssss"

I made for the first time Pasta con el Sarde, a Sicilian dish of pasta with sardines, fennel, capers, white wine, pine nuts, raisins and saffron. It doesn't seem to go together, but with was perfectly balanced.

I don't want to spoil you too much, but when Dolarhyde kills the women in the books he also rapes them (I can't remember if it was before or after they are dead). That isn't something Bryan Fuller wants to show or emphasize, thank goodness.

He said he's framing it around the murder and destruction of the family unit, not focusing so much on the mom. He said that it could be there if you looked for it, but he finds rape subplots lazy. They should be plots (with time devoted to the aftermath for all).

He probably can't help himself!

Right? Oh, ok he's going to be THAT guy.

Familiarity with peking duck…

And there's the proof: https://twitter.com/RCArmit…

Yeah, I think you're right. Mason said that he protected himself against Jack getting a warrant once he got back from Florence by claiming harassment. I'm assuming once the police/FBI got wind of the crazy murder spree, they let Jack tag along. After all, I'm sure it was Jack that said "I bet Hannibal's at his murder…

I'm assuming after the blood bath at Muskrat Farms, they believed him.

Yessss! Super creepy and super hot. I will ogle and feel dirty about it.

Yeah, the stag heart guy was a cool visual. The idea a fetus was growing in a pig for 9(ish) months. Ughhhh, it makes my skin crawl.

It was super nuts, as promised. The pig baby will be in my nightmares tonight. I also enjoyed how Hannibal dressed Will up in his flannel, a la season 1.
