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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
“There were a few considerations because I was not really interested in doing network television for a while, but the idea playing Hannibal’s psychiatrist is really cool,” Anderson said
Why do I feel that's not exactly what she said?

Completely understandable. But I'm clapping with glee at the Infamous BlueJay's threat to make all the recipes off of the blog run by the show's food stylist.
Did I tell you I ran into the Stunt Husband yesterday at Central Market, where he was picking up things to make a Hannibal-themed meal?

Hee! He texted to say he'd seen you. Yeah, we're having a fancy cannibal viewing thing on Friday night. Binge-watching episodes with decadent food, drinks, and place settings.

That sounds wonderful. I'm glad you're enjoying the show. I'm hoping that it does better in the ratings next season. I want this show around for years.

Jesus--Hannibal was renewed for 13, right? So it's going to be 2014 before we get more? I was dancing around my convictions during this episode, but two things happened--one, I heard my inner Minear (who normally just giggles through this show) say "Show not called Will Graham, ita !" and then the final scene where Hannibal looks upon his creation.
I don't like Hannibal--I don't even root for him in the antagonist way--but I do see vaguely that there exist ways of extending the conceit that might keep me watching. Very vaguely, though.
I admit, I think I missed details throughout the season in his sessions with Scully--how much do we know about his pattern? Has he made other Wills before? Has he tried and failed?
Also, that was tete d'Abigail, right? What meat are the actually eating, whether it's long pig or short cow? Cheeks? We do know he was short an ear, anyway.

I don't know if it's 13, but it will be mid-season.
Damn it hurts to see Caroline Dhavernas cry. I'd love to see her role become meatier, but I'm also afraid that could lead to her... well, becoming meat.
Show not called Will Graham
Ahhh! That thought hurts. I'm gonna stick with my belief that this show is a duet, not a solo, regardless of the title.
how much do we know about his pattern?
She knows that the patient who attacked her was a referral from Hannibal. The detail only the two of them know is that Hannibal killed the patient during the attack. Scully wouldn't know this part but Hannibal was totally trying to see what he could turn Abigail into.
Also, that was tete d'Abigail, right?
Veal? Oh yeah. No idea what cut.
A couple of days ago I realized that the two shows I've been watching lately involve Claire Danes and Hugh Dancy both playing very damaged characters. I hope they have a lot of silly fun at home.

AUUGH AAAUGGH NO GIVE ME NEW EPISODES NOW.
Hi, I've become very ... fervid about this show.
I think Scully knows what Hannibal does, and I think she knew what the dinner he brought her was. Not necessarily who, but what.

Since she won't go to his house to eat, I thought she knew something. But then she ate, so...complicit at least that far?
Dunno.
I am voting wholeheartedly for the demise of Will Graham, though. Maybe mostly to fuck with the fandom, who knows?
But I do want him to be metaphorically screwed without lube.

Noooooo! Okay, I delight in Hannibal being so. horrible., because he's supposed to be. He is the Other, he is the civilized veeneer that we try to tell ourselves holds back the terror of the night, and he has no interest in redemption or becoming like regular people. (So, y'know, many of the same reasons I like horrific vampires.) But I am also fiercely protective of Will. Partially because I empathize (heh) with the notion of not being able to filter out the emotions of everyone else; Will is a cautionary tale of the importance of self-care written in giant flaming letters.
