I had heard that, but I'm a bit confused by it — does that first murder match Dolarhyde's style at all? Or maybe it's supposed to be some early practice murder, leading up to the later stuff?

I watched this way back when it was first supposed to air — several times actually, webisodes then full episode. I enjoyed the webisodes a lot — I loved the plotline with Abigail and Hannibal and the mushrooms, and I loved Hannibal in Will's house being super creepy.

From the second DLM review: " It’s also refreshing to hear a good-natured banter session after the other week’s heated tiff between Marc Maron and Kumail Nanjiani."

@avclub-912a5c5978ebf1e452a4ed30658aa102:disqus Ok, we'll have to agree to disagree. Looks pretty good to me — has that very dreamlike quality that the rest of the show has.  Doesn't particularly look like bad CGI to me, more like a model actually (although I have no idea how they really did it).

What is it about that image that you don't like? I'm just curious.

I did too. I know a lot of people found that very moving, that she just stood there and waited to die. While I was watching it, that wasn't the impression I got at all — it just seemed like a weird slowed down mess. Awkward is a perfect description.

Doesn't Cat get super nervous and start yelling that she wants bread and salt brought out for them to share? I seem to remember that she really wanted it to happen (for protection) and that made it even worse when it was broken.

I agree with you on this. I think maybe I've been looking forward to this particular scene so-much for-so-long that it was inevitable that I'd be a bit disappointed.

I'm kinda hoping that we never see it on show. In the books part of the awfulness of the Red Wedding (for me at least) was seeing other characters react to the news and tell stories about it and never being 100% clear on whether or not the wolf-head even happened.

Thankyou thankyou, these are awesome. The artist is a genius and pretty good at hiding spoilers in plain sight.

You are spot on about Fishburne — he is better in this than a lot of his other recent stuff.

Thank you for posting this. I consistently learn a ton about weird awesome topics (cooking, mental illness, physics, etc) from the Hannibal comments every week. This review community seems to be a particularly classy and well-educated bunch.

I think studying German in high school and college killed the menacing factor of it for me.

Couldn't tell from the clip that it was a comedy, but I'm still interested in watching it.

Thank you for posting this. I learned many things:

I loved that line. It perfectly describes the reality of mental illness, plus the look on Will's face during that scene killed me. There was some clunkier dialogue this episode (particularly between Hannibal and Will — who really talks like that?) but this one line fixed it for me.

I love that he has old ones all lined up perfectly on the shelves upstairs in his office. They each have these little color coded dots on them that are also perfectly in line. It was just another detail of Hannibal's neatness that I like very much.

I'm really taken with the idea of Will as an "anti-Sociopath" — he feels and understands all the emotions, even when they don't make a lick of sense. And it puts him in direct opposition to Hannibal etc. I know this is a fairly obvious thought, but I love the symmetry of it.

I was alternately worried that Will was harming himself or that Will was harming another person. There were a couple scenes like that this episode. They are getting really good at confusing the audience about what is really happening at any given time. If Will is in the room there will always be a layer of mistrust —…

Every time I've had an MRI they've always had me lie very still, but there was never a cage over my head. And if you move they yell at you from the control room and it all starts over again.
