Aaaaaaand I was not expecting that ending AT ALL.
That was definitely an HSQ moment! I'm trying to remember what definitive proof we had that she was dead because I definitely remember it being definitive.
AUGH! CANNIBAL LIPS! LIPS OF CANNIBAL!
Eww! I just can't think of the character of Hannibal in an incarnation in any sexual way at all.
Am I misremembering or is Chilton more of an idiot in the books than in this series? It's been a while since I read them, but I remember him being pompous, and not nearly as bright as he thinks he is.
I don't know, I can't see movie Hannibal as a sexual being, but this Hannibal has it, I think. I thought I would be freaked out, but I wasn't. (I mean, in real life, yes, lips of CANNIBAL, but whatever).
It's hard to believe Miriam is still alive -- hadn't it been, like, three years? I guess the only evidence was the arm they found, though.
The harpsichord was super creepy, and Hannibal's smile at the end even more so. I feel like he must have overplayed his hand, though, right?
As my wife pointed out, Hannibal managed to screw with Will's head pretty effectively with just a few sessions and a handy dose of encephalitis. He's had Miriam for YEARS.
At this point, he probably could have convinced her that JACK'S the Chesapeake Ripper.
That's a creepy thought.
We've never known Hannibal to hide his face so it should be interesting to see how that works out.

I don't really remember him from the books (I don't remember the books well at all, I read them a while ago), but this Chilton is definitely more intelligent than movie!SotL Chilton. He's still ambitious and smarmy, but he's not being led around blind by his ego.
Dear Hannibal writers: Was this episode, like, a prompt fill for "make your loyal viewers say 'fucking EWWWW!'?" Because between cannibal sex and self-cannibalism (I must enjoy myself), you win, okay? You can stop now because you win. And I say this as someone who has been basically okay on the "fucking eww" front up to this point.
Debet, do you mean last weeks episode?
