Can you exclaim full sentences while choking to death?
Chiyo can.
Chiyo can.
Yeah, maybe he knows the guy would kill and eat her as revenge? Like what he said when he met her.
Edit OH SHIT

Pretty sure Will was helping Chiyo realize that by talking about how Hannibal created a fairy tale for himself and others through his story that the dude ate Misha, but it was actually him.
That's such a great retcon and an FU to Hannibal Rising's attempt to hero-ize Hannibal.

I am so, so very curious as to how the hell Red Dragon is gonna work. I'm used to William Peterson's Will Graham from Manhunter - this is gonna be weird AF.

That episode got better as it went along and they moved out of the abstracted bits. Those can be great, but these three episodes have had a lot of them.
Starting to see Hannibal be himself more often. So good.

Yup. At this point, I'm gonna have to put RD Will aside because if I don't, I know I'll end up really disliking those episodes.

This episode was good. Only thing I didn't like was the arranging of the prisoner's body.

I'm kinda with Sepinwall--this episode lost me at a few parts. All the Hannibal stuff was great, but Will's was a little too much at times.
Maybe my least favorite this season, but that's not bad or anything, and it had some really great moments (and humor).

That episode drifted a little too far into the abstract for me. Glad to see the plot looks to advance next week

I'm... not entirely sure we needed Will to go that far. The parallels between him and Lecter have been pretty firmly drawn, and then underlined. That thing at the end there was a big winged exclamation point in bold typeface, and it felt unnecessary.
This is the most gorgeous show in the history of the TV show thingy
But seriously folks. Golf clap for NBC to air the most artsy awesome shit you can think of.
It is why i ignore the previews!

Disagree (tentatively). With everything going on, I'm thinking Hannibal might stop back by. If he does, he'll see that he has a few "equals" out there hunting him. I think it shows the shift in power well, it wasn't done just to be nutty.

But he already knows. He absolutely knows. He knew where Will was going before he even got there. Doing that to the body was a flourish for flourishes sake, which the show's done before. It doesn't torpedo anything or put a big black eye on this season so far, it's just an audacious, unnecessary misfire. Bedelia told him he's already set his own capture in motion, and he knows the second he's certain Will's going back to Castle Lecter, that his little cage trick is getting blown up.
The show's done this sorta thing before and it didn't land like they wanted it to. It usually only happens once or twice a season, at least. They managed to make it work (when it probably shouldn't have) with the Bear-Mecha last season. I don't think it works here. It felt a little more necessary there in ways it doesn't here.
I thought the episode really picked up steam at the end, but I am getting a bit tired of all of the dreamlike abstract states Will is always in. I get that it is an inner analysis of the mechanisms going on in Will's psyche, but I feel like we've already returned to the subject of how he feels about Hannibal enough. I wish people started acting more like people rather than walking proverbs. For example, it didn't feel like lawrence Fishburne's character was active. He stated why he was there, built a bit of a repetoire with Pazzi, and that was it. I wanted to see him looking for Will Graham rather than being told it.
I'm still enjoying it, but I feel like things are going a bit too slow for my taste.
I actually really enjoyed Hannibal's scenes though. That fourth wall break where he looks straight into the camera made me literally say "Wow" out loud. I didn't know if it was cheesy or terrifying.

Some of those scene transitions were a bit much... They can't just cut to another scene, they have to have Will's face transmogrify into Hannibal's while blood explodes from the walls and the soundtrack goes berserk.
I do think it's interesting how brutal they're making the traditional food porn scenes this season, there's a big emphasis on chopping and sawing more recognizably human meat. It seems deliberately less elegant than what we've seen in the past.

So, Fuller mentioned that his current non-SOTL-rights plans for S4 were a radical departure.
After this episode, I think we have a very good suspicion as to what they are.

That winged exclamation point has a lot of implications for where they plan to go with the series. It's a loaded image.

This might be on purpose. Hannibal is now fully exposed to us as an audience as opposed to the sly winks we got in the previous seasons. We're seeing him as he is, warts and all. We're also getting his backstory as well so we get the full scope of who he is.
I really like how Will is becoming more Hannibal like such as leaving the winged victim at the end. He has too in order to catch him using his methodology.
