I don’t mean to be weird, but the omelette with liver would probably be kinda great. I’ve only ever had liver pate (Braunschweiger, made from pork, garlic, & spices), but it kind of tastes like a mineral-y version of bacon…On a thick slice of sourdough toast it makes quite a decadent breakfast. So an omelette feels like a fitting application - as long as it’s not *human* of course. (Critical caveat there.)

The killer reminds me of a high-tech (?) version of ‘those we don’t speak of’ from The Village. Although the Alien reference is really good too. Perhaps mixed with a little Fargo in there as well (given the setting). Buster / “This close to turning it off.” - OMG, right?! I can’t stand that kind of thing either, and that dog specifically is just a little bigger than my own…oh the crimes I would commit if anything happened to her. Will delivering Randall to Hannibal / “This makes us even.” — Sir, you work for the FBI and Hannibal framed you for unspeakable things. Get it together… Sorry. But, agreed, that was supremely frustrating.

Why would Will allow Hannibal to be his therapist if he was framed by him just a few epidodes earlier- that makes NO sense!

I googled it and there are rare documented incidents of male bears and female wolves hunting together...you learn something new every day...

That is quite the hat fashion show at that first crime scene. This is an interesting one. I'm glad they found a reason to bring Peter Bernardone back. And here we get the clearest impression of what Lecter's MO is as a therapist. We see it in this episode with Randall, we've been seeing it since the beginning with Will, and we're starting to see it with Margot. Hannibal seeks out patients he thinks are capable of murder and basically encourages them to embrace that part of themselves. Margot Verger (and her brother Mason) were introduced in the Hannibal novel. Mason is the main villain of the movie adaptation (yes, that's Gary Oldman's character) but they left Margot out. There's a lot to say about what's going on with Will, but we're definitely in the middle of some things, so the less said the better. But I do think it's worth considering how very little time Will actually spends with Lecter in the novel and the films (most of it after Lecter has already been incarcerated). Here, they have a very complicated relationship over the course of several months and at least half of that time Will had no idea that Hannibal was a killer. Hannibal has gotten in his head in a way book/movie!Will is somewhat protected from.

Joe- yes Verger is the Gary Oldman character

Evil is the absence of Good- St. Augustine So Hannibal's musings are spiritually flawed...

So Will as an adult is ABLE to save the dog but Clarice Starling finds the lamb too heavy of a burden until she is an adult and comes into her power...

My 68 pound Malinois- who is my photo avatar- would take out that "Manimal" because she is fierce

Joe- The 180s don't hang together psychologically - I don't like the "reimagining" either

Will is a good fisherman, that's all what I want to say. And Will has some dark thoughts on his own though...

> Shiizakana (強肴) is a substantial hot pot, grilled, or simmered dish served as an extra course toward the end of a traditional Japanese multi-course kaiseki meal. It acts as a final savory course designed to encourage drinking and ensure guests are fully satisfied, often showcasing the chef's creativity. <

I liked being in Granada, however the food was not to my taste
