Tippi Blevins

I can't believe how normal everyone is acting. People are just going about their daily routines, for the most part. I know New Yorkers tend to be an unflappable bunch, but this is just too much. Fet and Dutch's swim was sweet. Very cute. Hello, Kevin Durand's backside, nice to make your acquaintance. But I would not expose my assorted orifices to a body of water in the middle of a vampire nest. What if there were worms in there? Ye gods! Zack is the worst. I hope Kelly's new vampire crab children find him and take him far away from the show.

Mason and Hannibal both knew he didn't have the underlying bone structure to make good use of those cheeks.

So Yusef's brother took him into the woods to... find a special wolf? Are there going to be werewolves in this show now? I mean, if one legend is true why not another? The Ancients are crap at drinking blood. Do you see how much is on the ground? And they sleep on hand trucks! Every time one of the Abe Team kills a vamp up close and wormy juice goes flying everywhere, I wonder how they're not all infected. Oh and what the heck with Abe looking about 6 years old in 1933? He was a grown man when he was in the concentration camp.

Misread that as "screwing him beforehand" and wondered if I'd missed an episode.

Timing of the baby: Over eight months have passed between seasons. How long before that did Margot and Will get it on? Seems like it would be too long for it to be Will's progeny. It's probably easier to implant fertilized ova into a pig than a fetus. I mean, it's impossible either way, but the second one seems slightly more impossible.

What was in that little notebook that Hannibal was reading/writing at Will's bedside? I think he was sitting there pretty much the whole time waiting for Will to wake up. And carrying Will through the snow. It would have been easier to carry him over his shoulder, but not nearly as aesthetically pleasing. At the end: Will: "Hannibal's gone." Hannibal: "Ha ha no, I'm not!" Now Hannibal knows he'll still be in Will's orbit and Will in his. I think it's half to torture Will and half because he would genuinely miss Will.

Aw, dang it. Saturdays! That's the ONE night I have a social life! Ha just kidding. I'll be watching it live.

The more I think about it, the more disappointed I am that the show went this route. It seems rushed. If Hannibal couldn't eat Bedelia because she hadn't been acorned enough, why does Will only get a couple sips of parsley soup before becoming an entree? I mean, baste him for a few days at least, you know? All that damn buildup and then this? Will should have been like, "Dude, I sailed single-handed across the ocean to find and/or kill you, I deserve a better death than this!" Also, why is the pairing portmanteau for Hannibal and Will "Hannigram" instead of "Winnibal"?

I think the reason why it has to be Mason's progeny is for the sake of keeping the company in her hands. It's like being the mother to a future king, I guess. I kind of thought they were going there, regardless of the source material. After all that talk of love, love, love in the previous episodes. Eh, maybe they still have their chance. They tried to each other at least once before last season's finale and still wanted to elope to Italy together. Attempted murder just seems like a little spat to them. Will: "You were going to eat my brain while I was still alive!" Hannibal: "I would have shared some with you!" Will: "...Aw."

When Margot said, "Do you have any experience harvesting sperm?" I was hoping Alana would answer, "Yes, all you need is a Mason jar."

I feel like someone removed part of my brain instead of Will's, because I don't know what the hell happened. I suspect we'll only learn about it next week in arty flashbacks.

I finally watched this on Amazon. I was really hoping Pauline or at least one of her terrible paintings would be birthed from one of those pods. So, all this time, all three weeks of it, the dome was doing what? Trying to maneuver them all into the caves and into the pods? Because that is a super weird plan with a ton of unpredictable variables.

Hannibal's terrible shirt in the piano scene was mentioned earlier. What in the hell was that thing? It looked like camouflage. It looked like he got it at Academy Sports.

Hannibal: "I haven't had a bite to eat all day." Me: "You just ate an apple." I couldn't enjoy the fight scene because I was cringing at all the collateral damage. Antiques! Antiques everywhere!

Watching Will's flip like

The sailing thing kind of cracked me up. It was gloriously and ridiculously romantic. Sailing all the way across the Atlantic by himself! Well, I guess he still had Imaginary Abigail with him at least periodically. She's probably terrible at helping with the sails, though.

I don't know. Wouldn't it have been better then to say he's totally ready to move on and not involve himself in any Hannibal-related mess? Then Jack could be like, "Whew, okay, then I don't have to worry about you as much or keep such close tabs on you!" Letting Jack know he's still kind of cuckoo for cannibal puffs would just make Jack more likely to interfere, I think.

I just kept thinking of this during all of Mason's scenes: Since this is a fictional world and nobody's actually getting eaten, I kind of want Will and Hannibal to work things out.

That's how I took it, too, and it ties in with Will and Hannibal's interaction in the stabby kitchen scene. "Did you think you could change me?" Hannibal asks. Will says he already has. Not that his feelings for Will made Hannibal want to be a better man or anything, but it's unsettling to him that he had feelings at all, I think.

The shampoo scene didn't do anything for me because of the way he was smearing her hair around her scalp. No. No! Use the tips of your fingers and languorously massage the scalp! If you smear the hair around you're just going to tangle it! Also, I always wonder how people manage to slide down into the tub like that without getting water up their noses. Whenever I've done it, I damned near drowned myself.

Did he turn the guy into a dragonfly or a firefly? Will and Hannibal could start their own crafting YouTube channel. "How to create macabre corpse sculptures with items you already have lying around the house." Chiyoh looked awfully put-together for someone who's been living in ruins. Her makeup, clothes and hair were impeccable. I live in a modern apartment with all the amenities and I look more like her hobo prisoner.

Wait, so... Was Hannibal in love with his sister? Like incest was a bridge too far, but cannibalism seemed sensible enough? And who was Chiyoh to Mischa? Chiyoh seems awfully young to have known the Lecters back in the day.

I don't mind the arty pretension or slow pacing. I'm always surprised by how quickly the episode goes for me. I must be in as much of a trance as Will. The only thing that sometimes pulls me out of the show is thinking of the logistics. Like, when did Hannibal manage to stage the heart without anybody seeing him? Even when it's not occupied with tourists, wouldn't there still be some kind of security in place? Random reactions: Hugh Dancy has some Rapunzel armpit hairs on him. Those suckers were flowing and glowing in the light. It was polite of Will not to imagine a "tail" on the stag monster. That thing was effed up enough without having Dimmond's wang flopping about. Not that that would happen on network TV anyway. Bedelia should be using this time to get the hell away.

We weren't the only ones who noticed the "Coral" pronunciation. I saw a nail polish named Coral Grimes and once I stopped laughing, I had to come to this thread to share.

Poor Dimmond didn't even get a threesome before meeting his demise. Bedelia's conveniently placed wine glass after Hannibal's shower can just go to hell. Oh and the acorn stuff made me think of baby Judith on The Walking Dead. Mm delicious.
