HANNIBAL on NBC seems amazing and therefore deserves it's own thread!

also mads is a fan favorite, it would really break a lot of hearts :-(

canonically speaking hannibal is known as the chesapeake ripper tho. i mean spoiler alert i guess but

like in red dragon whatever will graham's level of public acknowledgement is attained by having caught 'hannibal the cannibal' also known as 'the chesapeake ripper'

or cf the hannibal lecter wikipedia page

Nickname(s) Hannibal the Cannibal
The Chesapeake Ripper

i mean also whenever jack considers the ripper he sees the hannibal-as-stag figure?

i haven't read the books or seen the movies so i don't know what canon you're talking about, do you think this is like a comic book with continuity geeks or something

xpost stop trying to spoil the show!

yes

the show is extremely upfront with hannibal being the ripper imo?

i mean will says it over and over again cassandra-like

sorry i ruined the show everybody but the guy who eats people is the bad guy

whatever, stop insisting your weird fanfic is canon

my weird fanfic aka the novels written 30 years ago

um clay otm - i think the show is pretty obvious with the fact that Hannibal is the Chesapeake Ripper? Although he's usually seen committing copycat kills (Garrett Jacob Hobbs, the mural artist, etc) for his own purposes (to frame Will, his own amusement, testing a hypothesis etc.).

don't like how they've kept this chesapeake ripper thing going so long and we still have no idea who it is -- hope the series doesn't founder because the audience gets tired of not knowing.

xpost sigh. Hannibal killed that one girl (whose brother Abigail killed) as a 'copycat' murder of Garrett Jacob Hobbs, to help Will solve the case. that's what i meant by copycat kill.

And he killed the mural artist, in the style of the mural artist... but left enough of his own mark (taking the organs) for Beverly to figure that this was the work of the Chesapeake Ripper - the guy who steals vital organs from his victims as trophies.

also hannibalgifs otm

we don't know who killed that other girl -- at one point the show suggested it was will, like acting unconsciously?

i dont get why everyone has to make up weird theories about this show instead of just enjoying the ride

sterl, your dedication to your role is finally paying off

idk maybe i am wrong and hannibal is simply a kindly psychologist

now sterl's got you questioning your own mind

does this look right doc i trust u

I feel like this thread is gaslighting me.

What thread?

I like how Hannibal pounds his chest and dances funny.

lol sterling

this Ripper fellow is a much more interesting artist than Damien Hirst, imo

Kind of encapsulates my issues with the show TBH.

soooo the reveal at the end of this episode is exactly what I thought Beverly saw in Hannibal's basement

That was quite an episode of prime time broadcast TV. o_0

Don't get me wrong I loved it but dag.

I hear you, carl. Also: Alana, nooooooooo

I knowwwwwwww

Also how dope was her green coat?

I want Hannibal's bluish patterned shirt

The one he was wearing while preparing her dinner and chatting her up, it was nice. I was thinking how it'd work with some pants I have.

They're really having a lot of fun with Chilton this season aren't they?

Great episode. This show is so good right now.

lol'd pretty hard at Hannibal's wink.

Yeah I cackled quite a few times during this ep

hannibal in bed with alana, reaching over like he was going to touch her tenderly, but instead snapping in her ear to make sure she was unconscious -- just a tiny thing but SO chilling to me.

IN WHAT

Amazed how consistently GREAT this series has been since it began.

This series is such an exquisitely crafted work of hideous beauty, long may it continue.

Oh god seeing Hannibal in bed with Alana (>_<)

So can we cut it out with the trolling about whether Hannibal is the ripper or not after this episode? b/c that shit from upthread has been driving me nuts all week.

Spoken like a true Protestant.

How could he be the ripper? He's a trusted psychiatrist.

hannibal truthers get your own thread
