Hannibal spoilers for tonight:

Man, I picture Hetienne Park reading this script, and getting to the part where it says, " INTERIOR HANNIBAL'S HOUSE NIGHT: Beverly is prowling around in the dark", and going, ".....Aw, CRAP."

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

I'm a couple of episode behind on Hannibal and have just lost all desire to catch up with the show. Ah well. I've got plenty of other stuff to watch.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Aw, CRAP

Yep. But with any luck, she'll get to go fishing with Will.

Did anyone else exclaim, "Oh you sick fuck!" at the coin toss?

Because books.

I was just hoping the coin toss wasn't, "Do I eat her? Do I not eat her?"

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Amy, RIGHT? And then, after that, I was reminded about Dr. what'shisface's statement in court about Will, that the high is the same, whether it's saving a life or ending one.

At some point, given the start of the season and the end of this episode, someone is going to figure out that the members of this team are dropping like flies and maybe we should look into that, right? (Speaking of, I am amused and delighted that the show is nice to animals and doesn't go to the sexual violence well. It's a profoundly fucked up show, but it has its own lines)

I kept being struck by the meta inherent in the casting in every scene Bella was in.

Will is playing his angles SO HARD (and mad props to the show for showing not telling on that. I was disappointed when they felt the need to do the VO flashback to Hannibal's statement during the stitches/kidney scene), and then when he figured it out...next week is gonna be a fun episode of Will Graham and His Lack of Reliable Allies.

Also? Jack Crawford totally bogarting his wife's medical grade! That was so cute, and sort of sad.

I feel like I have to watch it again. I always feel like that, though.

Would it be wrong to put this on my fridge? [link]

DO IT.

I love that they included the plastic coverall.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Holy crap, that was incredible, and ill-making, and tremendously upsetting (among many other things, I have horrible eye squicks and brain surgery squicks, so even aside from everything else this episode totally did me in on the visceral and lizard-brain level).

And those exquisite scenes between Jack and Bella; Will and Abigail in the river, and Will awakening from each newly resurfaced scrap of memory looking that much calmer and saner and more focused; Bella rousing herself up and slapping the shit out of Dr. Lecter; that final shot coming up through the ceiling.

And the design porn - the most elegant hospital room ever, and Hannibal's office, and the acupuncturist's amazing place; as horrifying as she was, I kind of loved her front room, with the big window and the shelves of plants and the golden light everywhere.

The acupuncturist's place was great -- plus, Amanda Plummer! Always awesome.
