People like him because,
"Hannibal has a certain personality style we can all learn from. In moderation, of course."
It takes episodes like this to shock people into reaffirming their moderation.

Definitely read Red Dragon. The book is so much better than both of the movies based on it.
Silence of the Lambs is a good book too, but I feel that the movie version is so good that if you only see the movie of Silence, that's fine — whereas if you only see the movie of Red Dragon (or Manhunter), you've really…

And when Hannibal stabs will, you can hear the "thunk" as he drops his gun. So it's right there on the floor, but, you know, it would be hard for him to use at that point probably.

I hope Jack survives because he's kind of important to the plot of Red Dragon and Silence of the Lambs. So far they've been good about not killing people who need to do things later. Though since they've already used so many elements from future stories in the show, they may be planning on extensively re-plotting…

Will explained to Jack early on that if the evidence pointed overwhelmingly away from Hannibal Lecter, it was a sign that it most definitely *was* Hannibal. And boy did Hannibal get greedy with all the evidence he planted on Chilton. Not to mention the fact that just about everybody knew that Chilton is too…

Also the animals you eat aren't endangered.

My impression is that Hannibal is trying to help Margot in a roundabout way, by getting "somebody else" (i.e. Will) to kill Mason for her. That requires making Will care about Margot, then allowing Mason to hurt Margot so that Will will become angry with Mason. That way Hannibal kills two birds (ortolans?) with one…

I knew Freddie was alive. I mean, honestly who didn't see that coming? :)

Sure you eat meat… but not whole, after force-feeding it, drowning it in liquor, and setting it directly on fire.

Source please?

I feel like there's enough stuff left to do to pad out another season before Red Dragon begins. There will probably be little bit of a manhunt to capture Hannibal; then maybe a little bit of exploring Hannibal's mind and backstory (Fuller tried to cast David Bowie as Hannibal's uncle for this season already, so they…

Good interview here where Fishburne talks about the time he signed an autograph as Sam Jackson.

It's okay for Will to imagine killing an unarmed person and even describe how it would make him feel good. It's his job to do that, really. That's what he's been doing this entire time. What's important for Will is that he doesn't act it out.
