It would be nice if Alana just showed up one day with a long-time boyfriend and said,"What? Oh this is Murray, yeah you've never met him because I'm a healthy adult with a wider social circle than just people I work with on a daily basis. Also you're all kind of creepy and I didn't want to weird him out."

I feel like we should do weekly threads. There were 250 posts within a few hours of the new episode airing, before I even got to watch it around 2am that night. Besides, it might sway those who are still (inexplicably) on the fence about this show to check it out.

There's more of that preview moment in the AXN version and it looks real enough. Everyone also forgets that when Hannibal asked in the kitchen scene why they didn't have that affair, the first thing she said was that he was already having one at the time, so I never bought the asexual interpretation. There was the drinking scene in his office, too. She never looks at Will like that. Rabbit Hill posted:I think I'm the only person on the internet who saw that moment in the preview and thought, "Aw yessss, get it, girl!" Haha, not true at all. But anyway, they have the best behind the scenes photos.

Alana! No blackface! For the opening breakfast, are we sure that there was Beverly on the plate? Looked like oysters, crawfish and eggs? Also, in the big ole crawfish centerpiece, were there beetles on the plate?

Mads has to crack his eggs into a 8-inch diameter skillet. The props Master calls his guy. The Production Manager calls in his guy. I call my guy.

While the guys in the room were running around hallucinating, waffling and pouting, she always came up with the goods. I see Hettienne (with baby bump!) in the make-up trailer and tell her I want her to come back in a dream sequence. We can but hope. wait a second, not meant to resemble the mask? quote:On set, Mads asked me if the pastry was to represent his mask – absolutely not!

I just took a look, there were a couple of things that I guess could've been Katz. Looked like some sort of fried ham and then something that looked like a chicken wing? I don't think that it was though, I think the only thing he took from her was her kidneys and we saw that get turned into sausage later. Also, most def rhinocerous beetles on the centerpiece! Haha first try on the egg! Also, yeah apparently Bev was in the pie that he ate by himself later.

I think it's just odd wording. It's not meant to represent Hannibal's mask, but rather Will's. No way it wasn't intentionally a bite-mask design, the shape is dead on and there would be absolutely no reason to make the pastry like that otherwise. edit: Or she's being facetious. edit 2: Should have just read it instead of speculating.

I don't know why anyone would think that Hannibal is meant in any way to be asexual. In the books, it's clearly shown that he loves Clarice romantically, and they end up eloping together to live happily ever after (no, really). Hannibal is not an emotionless robot of cold logic, some sort of Dexter who's much better at faking social niceties.

drat, if he actually got that egg trick, they did him a disservice by cutting to the close-up hand shot. I just assumed it was an editing trick because of that shot.

  Haha also I have to note, it's a Cajun wives' tale that you do not eat the ones with the straight tails. Something about how they died before the boil got started basically, supposed to be bad for you and most people here will snatch one away from someone who's about to tear into one (especially if they don't know about it) just to save them from it.

They intercut Hannibal's preparation of his own meal with the preparation of Will's prison meal. Will gets served eggs, fried... something and also some strips of what's probably Canadian-style bacon. It was probably done to make the audience think that Hannibal is preparing thin slices he cut off of Beverly, but then we see the slices put onto a plastic dinner tray and get taken to Will. Plus the slices of bacon appear to be horizontal slices and not vertical ones.

It was probably done to make the audience think that Hannibal is preparing thin slices he cut off of Beverly, but then we see the slices put onto a plastic dinner tray and get taken to Will. Counterpoint: When have we ever seen Hannibal cook up anything other than human meat? Why would they start with thinly sliced meat after he's sliced Katz in small pieces but it be actual animal meat? Even the title alludes to him feeding Jack some pieces of Beverly, as Mukozuke is a dish of thinly sliced sashimi (raw meat). Those thin slices complimented the way he killed Beverly to a T, and later on while eating her kidneys he ate them in a covering shaped like Will's mask. There is no way that this was not Beverly on that plate. Steve Yun posted:The forensics guys said that the only missing part from Beverly was her kidney, no? Only one half was exposed.

As far as I could tell, her entire body is there. One half of her body is in one giant piece, and has clothes on. The other half is split into five slices and has the clothes removed edit:____________________________________ ^pooper **** Buuuuut who really knows.

In the finale of last season, Hannibal and Du Maurier were also eating Abigail's head but they didn't make a fuss about it. We've never seen Hannibal cooking anything but human meat and the idea that the first time we're seeing him cooking up actual animal meat in the same fashion he just exposed one of his murder victims doesn't make any thematic sense whatsoever. He also just loves the theatrics: two shrinks eating someone's head and then feeding pieces of Beverly to Jack while talking about friendship and him not being allowed to let someone die because of the oath he has taken, etc... zoux posted:I guess he just had those giant panes of glass ready to go for whenever. To be fair I wouldn't put it past Hannibal to have some of those giant panes ready for some murder in the future he planned on exhibiting like that and just decided that Katz was a right fit.

Finally caught up with the latest episode and welp I guess my sexuality is now Mads' calf muscles  A description of what happens to Bev got spoiled for me but after the reveal on the show I realised I was standing up in the middle of the room with my hand over my mouth in a state of NOPE. I was also in the middle of eating a pizza and it kind of put me off, thanks a lot Dr Lecter!!!

It's not like it's rocket science and he seems like the kind of person who would do both for the challenge and because he wouldn't be satisfied with the commercial stuff. I mean he did have a pretty in-depth conversation with Tobias about violin strings so glass making doesn't seem out of his range. Also, you know, harder to trace back to him.

I got spoiled on Beverly's untimely demise as well by reading Bryan Fuller's episode walkthrough, but when I actually saw what he meant by 'disassembled' I was sort of relieved. I honestly believed it was going to be much much more gruesome than what we saw. It was still weird and horrifying, but in a different way.

I really enjoy this show, and I think it is the only show on air with a chance to end up on the "breaking bad/the wire" level for me. But one thing I really wish is that they don't wait until the finale for that first scene of the season to happen. First because I think it helps keep the series interesting if major things happen in non-finale episodes. Second because I think another 7 episodes of Hannibal being able to misdirect people would be something that would be really hard to sustain.
