+ Show Spoiler + I thought it was a good episode until random guy comes in and gets stabbed...a little over the top, but I guess Lector needed to get more heavily involved in conflict. Is Abigail going to be a re-occuring character? or Lector's dinner? | ||

Is Abigail going to be a re-occuring character? or Lector's dinner? + Show Spoiler + I get the feeling that Lector is going to push her more towards being a killer/killing. I could sort of see it in this episode, where he's telling her that she gutted that guy, and that people wouldn't see it as self defense. I think he's going to keep insinuating to her that she isn't normal and that she's subconsciously a killer and become her mentor or something. I think we'll be seeing her more this season. I'm not sure what's up with the journalist though. I got the feeling that Lector was manipulating her and told her to contact that guy, but then outside the house he's asking her about it like he doesn't know, so it seems sort of weird if that were the case. I don't think he would play that he doesn't know either, it's not like anyone was listening, and doesn't really fit him in my view. So, I'm wondering why she contacted the brother. | ||

Both have their merits and faults, yet portray both sides of the same character superbly in their own way. Hopkins's portrayal is more disarming and creepy because he doesn't look like a serial killer or even an evil, sociopath in many ways, looking more like a kind grandfather. Mikkelsen has the more sharp tone that accompanies the typical serial killer, and appears more terrifying because he is terrifying. They might conflict, but each actor gives one side of Hannibal that is divorced in the other, and watching both, you get the full impression of who Hannibal really is. Of course you can compare them, they're actors acting as the same character: Hannibal Lecter. I fail to see how this comparison is ridiculous? Hopkins' performance had no faults except one: he was in the movie for maybe 25 minutes. I'm convinced this hedging of his performance stems from an unfamiliarity of Silence of the Lambs and a blinding respect for Mad Mikkelsen because he's cool. But no, it's not even close - especially after 3 episodes of some network television show.

Is this the one where Vince Vaughn was the better Norman Bates? | ||

They were lungs (or suppose to be), but they looked ridiculously large for human lungs. They probably got them from a pig or cow or something. | ||

I understand that Lecter's a crazy brilliant serial killer, but his ability to just go around murdering people without a trace is getting silly. Edit: Also, this is totally out of character for Lecter. I mean, the Lecter in the film and books knew and talked with other serial killers and sociopaths, but didn't have any sympathy for them or encourage them to kill in any way that they didn't come up with on their own. This Lecter is just absurd. It's not even a new take n the character at this point, it's more like they've rewritten him altogether. | ||

But then, what the fuck ? Guy breaking into the house, got stabbed, and the fuck ensued? It was pointless. If the goal was to Abigail falling into Lecter's grasp, then it should have been in a long, subtle mind game, over at least 3 episodes. This was messy and way too action packed to be really convincing. | ||

Well actually, the murder and the crime scene were at the cabine, whereas the murder of the brother guy was at Hobbes house. It was confusing, it took me time to realize that too. | ||

Good performance by Mikkelsen though. Will watch another few episodes but he is carrying this noob show so hard. | ||

Mikkelsen on the other hand is the ideal man for his role. | ||

http://www.hitfix.com/whats-alan-watching/nbc-to-skip-hannibal-episode-in-wake-of-boston-tragedy I dont know what to think about it, sure its a familiar reaction to such tragedies. But in the long run it could really hurt the series, seeing as the ratings are okay-ish but not great, on NBC with its history of failing tv shows... Just quoting the article i linked: NBC sent five episodes to critics for advance review, but they weren't the first five. Instead, we got episodes 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6, with 4 skipped. And it was clear in watching the fifth episode (and the "Previously, on 'Hannibal'" clips before it) that some notable character and plot arc things had happened in between the hours I'd seen. It's not enough that you'll feel lost in what happens — particularly since the fifth episode is one of the strongest NBC sent — but you'll definitely feel like you're missing out on a few notable beats, particularly in the relationship between Will Graham and Jack Crawford. Hmm...we'll see i guess. :/ | ||

Between that and the last episode, this show is headed down the drain, in my opinion. | ||
