*sleepy recapper noises*

Just in case you didn't see it, the Hannibal "Kaiseki" recap did go up; because I had to split it into two posts, I ended up "publishing" them privately earlier in the day so I could look at them back and forth, then made them public right before the new episode aired. So if you didn't see them on your friends list, that's why. Also! I finished

I think I'm still too squeamish for this show, but I love reading your recaps, and I'm so happy you're up to them :)

As always, Cleo... We love your work.

I can't even be creeped out by that. That was basically the funniest thing that ever happened until Will said, "You're Hannibal Lecter's therapist. WHAT'S THAT LIKE?"

Good God, this episode was funnier than it had any right to be.

The line that had me laughing was Hannibal's response to the muralist's: God Doesn't Exist. Hannibal: Not with that attitude!

"You're Hannibal Lecter's therapist. WHAT'S THAT LIKE?"

FINALLY SOMEONE ELSE KNOWS WHAT SHOW THEY ARE ON.

I know nothing about you but that you write a lot and write well.

The David Fincher director's commentary for GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO mentioned that Lisbeth was "afraid of her inner zala" / afraid that her father's genetics were inside her.

Do you remember writing something about that?

Is it published on the Internets?

[cleolinda]

Aw, thanks! No, I don't think I ever wrote anything about that--I think all I ever wrote about Dragon Tattoo was 1) an entry about reading the book and 2) possibly an "I just saw the movie" post.

It did not tell me you posted! *runs off to read recap*

Can't wait for your recap for 2X02- it was the grossest but funniest Hannibal episode yet, at least for me.

RIGHT? Like, it didn't have the tongue-in-cheek tone all the way through that "Sorbet" had, but the moments that were funny were hysterical. (Interestingly, the osso buco scene was structured in a very similar way to the "Who gets a spleen transplant?!" scene in that episode.)

If I could afford bone-in veal, I'd be making that for dinner RIGHT NOW.

I think because it wasn't tongue-in-cheek throughout, it made the funny moments even funnier- I was cackling so much at certain lines- "Hello. I love your work". "Seems like I'm unemployed". "Not with that attitude" and "one of these things is not like the others..."

Also Will's sass was in full force, which I approve of. That and manipulative Will, because I just know he's going to be awesome and fun to watch. My abused puppy is now an angry mongoose and I love it.

2x02 (it's so great to be able to say that!) was so horrifying and gross and hilarious, definitely my favourite episode so far. I can't wait to read the recap!
