Hannibal, S02E05- Mukozuke (Patreon)

I'm very happy because I'm going to be hitting the road in the next half hour, going on my sweet long weekend of tubing, water-parking, and drive-in-movie-attending with Owen. I really need this, and I'm going to enjoy the hell out of it.

But first, let's talk about Mukosuke. I really liked the episode as a whole (not least because we finally get to see Hannibal in a position of complete helplessness), but I'm concerned about the implications of having Beverly be the "motivation" for Will to finally cross over to the dark side. I loved her character, and I'm going to miss having a SINGLE OTHER FEMALE on the team (Alana doesn't count), and I feel like the whole thing fit with her character last episode. But after seeing the direction they went with this, I worry that she's being reduced to that dreaded plot device. I hope to god I'm wrong. Prove me wrong, show. 

Ignoring that for now, I loved this episode. Jack's acting was awesome, Will's antlers coming out of his back was terrifying, Gideon returning was fun and revealing, and I'm still coming up with conspiracy theories on what happened to Hannibal. 

Thank you everyone for listening, and I will see you on Tuesday!
