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.

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 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.

Wrong thread!

Amy, wrong thread.

Yikes. Thank you!

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?

Probably. I just watched it on Hulu.

I was going to say, I was way confused.

Tonight's was new highs in "I can't believe they did that" and/or "I can't believe Hannibal did that."
