The Hawkeye and Trapper John syndrome.
So good and indispensable, they can get away with sh*t.
Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Oh GOD, I just caught up on Hannibal.
I heart everything about JZ's post.
Oh, yes. Absolutely.
Oh yeah. HANNIBAL. In his plastic suit.
Oh, the plastic suit. Damn.
When he showed up at Bedelia's home I was muttering, "She's gone, she ran, she can't be there..." and when the covered furniture was revealed I threw my hands in the air and exclamed, "Good girl!" That's some powerful fear to cause a virtual shut in to flee.
I find myself watching each episode twice. Once for the story and again to study all the design elements. I am somewhat randomly fascinated by a painting in Bedelia's place that I don't think has ever been fully in focus.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
Perception: They freakin forgot to explain why the CIA grabbed all the evidence in journalist's death. (And no, their interest in Daniel does not explain it. They become interested only after he exposes the hoax.) I may not be Raymond Chandler not knowing who committed one of the murders but it is close. Even if they don't explain it, why did nobody even wonder?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I think Hannibal is going to try to make someone else look guilty of the murders to help Will. Bedelia? The reporter? Alana?

Chilton is on the stand essentially describing himself.

I had that thought, too. Shooting first would make it plausible for someone with less upper body strength to stage the scenes. My guess would be Alana.

Has anyone figured out what Hannibal's planning? Does Hannibal know what Hannibal's planning? I swear, it looks like he's not so much playing both sides against the middle, as both sides against himself.
In other news, the show continues to be its gorgeous, if gorge-raising, self.

Because books.
I have to watch that again. That was trippy even for this show.
