That light in Hannibal's eyes is (I think, and probably deliberately) the maroon color the books said he was supposed to have. I never liked that detail, because who has maroon glints in their eyes? Now I realize who: Mads Mikkelsen by torchlight.
I genuinely thought, for her first new scene in this episode, that they'd replaced Kacey Rohls with a different actress. The hair was different, the makeup was different (seriously, her lips were a completely different shape, I'm not wrong, shut up), the pitch of her voice seemed different, I actually thought she was a different person. Well done, team, well done.
One of the things I love about this show is the same thing I loved about LotR. Fuller's amazing at slipping in a single line or image that immediately takes us to the entire scene in the book, without seeming out of place for people without that backstory (chafing dish nononononononono). In this case, it means he can show us the bomb before he ever even shows us the bomb, as it were

And the scene from Mizumono: Hannibal Lecter is one of the only characters who becomes more terrifying when he puts down the chef's knives before following yon maiden up the dark and creepy stairs.
Great detailed recap (well, as usual, only this time even more so). I hope you're not *very* exhausted.
>>> My real question at this point, I guess: is Will Graham a good person fighting off the darkness, or a dark person struggling to be good?
Both?
I have no "Texts From Hannibal (Words By Cleolinda)" for new episodes yet (and those with screencaps from Mizumono are better left for Mizumono - also, most of them are gory anyway).
The level of detail and background information in your recaps have always added a whole other wonderful layer to my enjoyment of this show. It must take a incredible amount of energy and I know you don't have tons to spare, so thank you.
I don't have much to add at the moment (beeedddddd... (stuffed animal...)), but thank you thank you thank you. I love these recaps, and I find it really fascinating to get the back-story and added info on the teacup, and Pazzi.
Also: I LOVED the surprise!Hannibal in the catacombs. That was shot so perfectly.

Actual comment to follow tomorrow, but now I have to go to bed so I don't grumble and grouse my way through work tomorrow.
