Hannibal 1x05: "Everything I know about heaven I learned from The Doors"
Most of this post is based on notes I scribbled down while watching this episode on Saturday. The scheduled delay (is there such a thing? ^_~) turned out to be for the best for all of us, as well as being respectful-- so I pretty much just typed up my scribbles this evening and was all set to hit 'post'.

1. I really do think they doubted our obsessiveness.
2. But -- oh, gross -- does it maybe refer to the fact that their opened backs were like an open shell, or that an open clam, for example, looks like angel wings?
his ridiculously complicated coffee machine
I almost feel like I can excuse the fact that Hannibal is a serial killer and condescending, but not what a SNOB he clearly is.
You know who else's life is in danger? Anyone who tries to give Hannibal instant coffee. All they found from the last guy was a surgical pin.
hahahahha
Hannibal says Will has entered into a "Devil's bargain" with Jack.
I frowned so hard when I heard that.
No, no. No hope in this show. NOT ALLOWED. Please leave all your hope at the front desk.
And yet, I can't resist.
The Human Centipede
I have only seen two horror movies violent and disturbing enough that I regret watching them, and this was one. The other was Senseless.
there's something really amazing/attractive in the rapport these two have. I don't think it's solely that Hannibal is a chameleon who matches his tempo to the beat of others' thoughts. In this case, I don't think he has to try-- Will can keep up with him, and Hannibal finds that spell-binding.
+1.
Hannibal observes that the Angel-Maker may be "careful about being self-destructive".
*raises hand*… Whoops, sorry. Still not an informal poll. X_x;;;
I feel so bad for laughing here, but yeah. *raises hand too*
Cut to Will in a dark, rain-soaked alley, staring at the flayed-and-mangled body of yet another "angel".
WILL: Fuck, why is this my life?
Alas, he cannot actually say this because it's NBC.
Meanwhile, Will is ADORABLE in that sweater. You can see where my priorities are.
Right alongside mine?
ALSO. I love shows that are realistic enough to show characters wearing the same clothes more than once, rather than shows where characters with limited funds have limitless wardrobes.
Damn you, Lecter. You and your fucking gray paisley tie.
haha, oh man.

You know, I hadn't thought about that-- but you're right. We used to do that in school projects, too. (Um, the sea-shells, not the peeling-skin-from-human-backs. ^_~) Paste two on a piece of cardboard, draw an angel behind it.
... really creepy, now that I think about it. X_x

Amen. But, if he ever decided to come after us, we could hide in a McDonald's. Hannibal would DIE before he set foot in such an establishment!

I have never seen Senseless, but I firmly feel that all those who've seen The Human Centipede (especially not knowing what they were getting into) should enter into a class action lawsuit against that movie. Seriously. One celled animals were offended.
*hugs* That was, honestly, a traumatic film.

That's okay-- he's thinking it so loudly it's broadcast directly in fangirls' brains. ^_~

YES. I've seen critics slam a show for lack of "wardrobe budget", but I firmly agree with you. We don't all have bottomless closets-- some of us have just enough blouses and skirts/pants to make a convincing number of outfits. ^_^;;
...Well, Hannibal has a bottomless closet, probably. Only, instead of leading to Narnia, his leads to Hell.

hahaha. Best survival plan ever. "You can't get us, the sticky linoleum is snob lava."
I don't doubt that Hannibal has a portal to hell in the back of his closet, but I do also think that even the wealthy and whatever Hannibal Lecter has reworn suits already in the first six episodes, and I really like that, as I mentioned.
