I am not looking forward to the hiatus.

Almost as good as when he said "google." I thank Bryan Fuller every day for that one.

It's entirely possible that the room gets changed around for production reasons (like to accommodate whatever angle they're shooting from), but I'll choose to look at it from a character point of view. According to Patti Podesta, the production designer (http://hannibalblog.tumblr…. ), he lives on the bottom floor of…

Yup. Poor girl picked the wrong new dad to trust.

The accent thing was in itself a great part of her performance. Like I said below, she uses an Americanized accent when she's giving therapy, and slips into the character's natural, more English, accent when she's speaking to Hannibal as his colleague. It was a choice, not a slip-up.

It was a direct recording of a single conversation. It was lifted from the opening therapy scene in Oeuf (the unaired episode).

Yeah, the scene with Will confidently and excitedly sussing out more details about the copycat in Hannibal's office (and Hannibal's frustrated reaction to it) really emphasized for me that Hannibal's motivation for keeping Will sick is largely dictated by not wanting to be caught. Sure, he's fascinated by Will's…

Tonight was the first time I noticed the accent, too.

I've been getting a strange feeling that part of Hannibal's end-game for Will is to frame him up, only to allow himself to be Will's savior. I think it's possible that Hannibal is going to be the one to get Will out of this mess and make Will even more indebted to him.

Mads Mikkelsen agrees with you about Hannibal being Satan. He's said that that's how he's playing him.

That was what did it for me, too. Even sending him to Tobias seemed more forgivable (even though it was awful), because when Hannibal thought Will might be dead, he displayed some small measure of concern and regret. But keeping a life-threatening medical condition from someone just shows that you have zero concern…

Hannibal is using Abigail's death to further the frame on Will.

Yes! Will and Abigail's last scene did too. When Will figured out what she'd done, I felt absolutely gutted.

After the episode ended I just sat there in silence for a full 5 minutes. Wow. I thought that this episode was stunning on every level.

I always knew I'd watch it because I love Bryan Fuller, but it made me nervous that it was going to be on network TV. Even now, I feel like it just is a cable show.

Ugh, yes. Riley and Buffy's break-up is the worst moment in the entire series for me because of the way all the blame is dumped on her. And then Xander comes along and makes a shitty, insufferable speech and she just accepts it. The worst.

I never liked Duncan, but I think a lot of that had to do with the fact that he was played by an actor who was a black hole of charisma.

I, for one, would like to see Gia. More Krysten Ritter is always a good thing.

Yeah, that Dany scene was a terrible place to end the season. Ending on Stoneheart would have been amazing, and it would have completed the 'mother' theme of the episode.

Yup, this.
