You almost have to be willfully obtuse NOT to see all the homoeroticism. I mean, Bryan Fuller said he was going for a feeling of intimacy with them, and hooboy, has he ever been hitting those notes like a maestro.

That accent was wrongess. Just pure wrongness.

Liver and fava beans, of course.

Whoever made that is my new hero.

Seriously? Clearly, I need to a) be following Fuller on twitter and b) just start waving my wallet in the air so they can take my money as soon as the bluray comes out.

Her "Oh god, what have I let into my vagina?!" moment of horror has to be coming.

I love how this show uses and remixes the source material. Chilton died after fleeing to get away from Hannibal after he knew he was in danger because Hannibal had escaped from prison; here he died after trying to flee Hannibal after it became clear Hannibal had set a trap for him. It's amazing, and tells us, nope,…

Poor Dr. Gideon thought he could use Will and Hannibal Lector for his own revenge plot, and found out the hard way he wasn't ready to play with the big boys. Hannibal having him for dinner was a given, but I didn't think he'd pull off fulfilling both meanings of that phrase at the same meal.

Same! Before, I kept wishing for Hannibal to eat him, then changed my mind because I thought he'd give someone indigestion, and now I'm like, "…I'm liking Chilton now. UP IS DOWN, LEFT IS RIGHT." Needless to say, I no longer want Hannibal to eat him. Raul Esparza is hitting it out of the park.

It was so well done, it really was.

That throwaway line about the last person to ring Hannibal's doorbell was a census-taker has me screaming. I love all the little references.
