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

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

Now we know directly threatening Madshannibal is going to be just as amazing as apparently harmless Dr. Madslecter. Also holy crap what a lot of meat. Only thing I didn't love was all the digital reverb on the harpsichord, but since the used a real one with a real player I suppose I shouldn't complain too much.

Janice Poon, the show's food stylist, has a fantastic blog about putting together the meals featured on the show. - http://janicepoonart.blogspot.com/2014/04/episode-6-futamono.html

cf great real names

wow so all the hannibal/alana shippers finally get some fanservice. what should we call the pair? hanlana? alannibal?

wonder where gideon is and why he's having such weird hallucinations.

no alannibal at all this episode!

now that we know gideon was the ripper (makes a lot of sense, in retrospect. don't know how i didn't see it) then is the show just going to introduce a new big bad soon?

you mean Chilton. I don't know how you could make such a grievous oversight.

you're right! i usually pay much more attention to the details in this show.

Still that thing, huh

i like will's uh grimly posi attitude once they spring him from the criminally insane joint

Chlumsky was amazing last week. Still kinda meh on the show lately, though.

dang, this is the Verger family intro, isn't it?

Is you social worker in that horse?

^ best line of the show

Jeremy Davies was a treat

He is really turning into a stunning character actor, really enjoyed him in this.

Can we just: inside A HORSE
O_O

the bird reveal was awesome

Hats off to whoever's thinking up these crazy scenarios

The bird that flew out was a starling, FYI.

and the shot of hannibal with the lamb

yes

also if i ever break my arm I will sport a handcrafted leather sling like that fancy lady

who was she anyway?

I'm think she's mason verger's sister

oh of course

can't wait for him to show up - michael pitt's playing him <3

~~ alanabial ~~

glad to see they retained mason verger's human tears martinis.

I wonder how far they're gonna go with Mason Verger. He's such a repugnant character in the book: woman beater, sadist, rapist, child molester. The worst. It'll be great to see him lose his face.

Count on them doing something even nastier.

:D

thankfully Fuller didn't go with the novel's version of Margot:

In the novel, she’s a very masculine character, who has had years of steroid abuse and is a lesbian, and it was unclear to me in the novel whether she was either transgender or a lesbian as a result of those horrible abuses and that horrible childhood and [Beat.] that’s not how transgenderism or homosexuality works. So I didn’t want to contribute to that misconception of what it is to be transgender or a gay woman.

Was there any reference to Chilton at all, this week? I'm kind of assuming he made it, but it really seemed like he was killed.

FISH

good to see jeremy davies is still cutting his own hair

there was a lot of nietzsche in this episode—early on, and in alanna's interview w/ the social worker (sociopaths 'keep us on our toes' is basically the explanation he floats for the value of murderous immorality to the human race in 'the gay science'), and in davies' sympathy for the horse

Aw we didn't get to see Will Graham kill the man in the prehistoric bear amour.

Just read on imdb that David Tennant auditioned for Lecter and was deemed excellent, but it didn't work out for some reason. Think I prefer it this way.

definitely

lol hannibal owns a theremin

i've enjoyed how ever since will told hannibal that he was finally interesting to him (as opposed to before when will had to fake it), everything hannibal has said in phony person-suit mode has been insufferably pseud-y

"button-stitching"

Oh man, Margot totally slept with Will so she could get pregnant and bear a legitimate male heir so she can kill her brother – that's pretty goddamn twisted. I love this show.

so will told freddie he would explain things but then we never heard the explanation? this show can be confusing sometimes

I think there's still the outside chance Will killed wildlife man in self-defense, stashed his organs to later serve up to Hannibal, and Freddie is hidden away somewhere. It's Will cat fishing Hannibal.

Oh man I hope so!!!!!

That's obviously what's happening.

"you slice the ginger"

when are will & hannibal just gonna bone down already jeeeeez

michael pitt's mason verger = <3
