A few thoughts after this week's Hannibal

[hils]

1. I am in love with the directors of this show. Every shot is so beautifully framed I feel like I’m looking at art.

2. Someone needs to congratulate Mads on being so damn fucking terrifying! I’m almost glad they’re taking him down this route so quickly because when he was charming and kind of likeable I felt all kinds of guilty.

3. WILL! MY POOR BABY! OMG!

4. I’m pretty sure Bryan Fuller said they were going to do the events of Red Dragon in S4. Which means Hannibal will wind up getting caught and put in jail some time around the end of S3 or the start of S4. Which, in turn, makes me wonder what the plot of S2 will be.

5. The official Hannibal tumblr said that Will wasn’t the character we needed to worry about most this week. I honestly thought after seeing all the promo images that Gillian Anderson’s character was going to die. Never crossed my mind for a minute that it would be Abigail.

6. Related to point 5 I honestly don’t think Hannibal would have considered killing Abigail if (in his mind at least) the situation hadn’t deemed it necessary. Ditto his framing of Will. I’m not sure what his endgame for Will was going to be but I don’t think it was this. And I’m pretty sure his initial plan for Abigail was for her to help him in the same way she helped her dad. Interesting turn of events.

7. It was a short lived ship but I honestly can’t bring myself to ship Hannibal and Will anymore. I do thing the tone of the show pushed it in that direction for a while. I honestly didn’t start watching with the intention of shipping anyone but all the talks about them being parents to Abigail and all the touching and sniffing sort of made it happen.

But now I am too scared of Hannibal to want him anywhere near poor Will.

Aaaaand I think that’s it

Oh, and SOMEONE HELP WILL GRAHAM
