That bit was pretty hilarious. Just that whole awkward scene.
If they aren't impressed, they're wrong. Where would Hannibal be if it were designed to please people who don't really care about it but are more than happy to complain anyway? Slipping into mediocrity to achieve a slight boost in ratings, that's where.I can see where some people might not be impressed with this first episode. It was definitely not made for new comers. The events and progression of the past 2 seasons are still fresh, so it all made sense. It's also obvious why the artsy shots might be too much. Hannibal is over indulging himself now and this is being transferred over to the viewers. There's many ways to present violence and murder. They're making it look like something beautiful, but you know it's wrong.
Too perfect.Bryan Fuller needs to change his twitter description to "You owe me awe"
Even gooderer. (But were you expecting less after Season 2's finale?)So...still good?
What a pretty episode. Definitely super friggin' artsy n' shit, with a lot of blood dropping onto various surfaces, l o l. Clearly there're quite a few points that have yet to be explained, which is good because me and several friends have a lot of questions.
I wish I could've seen some Will after waiting so long, but I guess I have to wait ANOTHER WEEK. Mmmrrr
Also, I know this is kind of a dumb question, but does the whole season take place over in Italy (or Europe)? I would look it up but I don't really wanna spoil myself 'cause I suck at avoiding that stuffff
Oh, and Gideon! Those flashbacks of Gideon's final days and final meals were great. I love how there's finally just someone totally unrestrained in how they talk to Hannibal, and he just snarks the everloving fuck outta the guy. It was great.
Plus, it seems to have made Hannibal think.
Spoilers if you want them (only going to address your main questionsYou'll see will around episode 4, I believe. And only the first half of the season should be in Europe.
It's the Sandman Overture of TV.Each frame of this show can be framed.
Anyone know Italian? What is Gillian Anderson ordering at that shop?
Those scenes had to be setting up something.
Fuuuuckkk i wanna watch this but i decided to rewatch the first 2 seasons and i'm only at the start of S2 (
So watch the episode and then go back to season 2.
FYI the premiere is up now on NBC's website.

I'm sad that I'll never be throatfisted to death by Gillian Anderson.
I still cannot figure out the logistics of how that happened. That's some Event Horizon shit. Can we get Paul W. S. Anderson to direct an episode?

RaidenXZ said:I believe she keeps ordering a couple bottles of wine and maybe some truffles. My Italian is rusty but that's what I understood
Edit> It was Spahk. Spahk from Stair Truck.And does anyone know who played the patient she killed? Seemed oddly familiar.

This was the best hour of TV in a while. The audiovisual design is untouched by anything. Unbelievable.
Plotwise it was a bit disjointed, but it did its job as the "antipasto". I wonder how they will expand on both Bedelia's backstory and on what happened to my personal favorite Eddie Izzard.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8Q7tjhXUKISo.. How exactly did she kill him? She shoved her arm all the way down his throat??
Ah yeah, thanks.according to the credits it wasZachary Quinto.
So.. How exactly did she kill him? She shoved her arm all the way down his throat??
Guessing from previous seasons he "swallowed his tongue"
Well, that's the "official" reason, right? But it seems like she outright killed him because of what he was.

Great episode. Only one quibble. I love the cinematography of the show but felt this episode seemed a little too show-offy.
But can't be too picky. Still the best show currently on TV, cable included.
