HANNIBAL RECAP: S3E2

Previously on Hannibal: Hannibal killed everyone.

This week on Hannibal: Did he????

Season 3, Episode 2: “Primavera”

“Hey remember the finale of season 2 with all the betrayal and clutch-gutting and pain and blood? ALLOW US TO REMIND YOU OF EVERY DETAIL.” - The Hannibal Show

Oh thanks guys. This is just, this is just that whoooole sequence again. A Bold Move. I was expecting maybe a different take on it, like new camera angles à la when Will revisits that “Rôti” scene in his drug-induced Appalling Rememberings Session in season 2, but it seemed exactly samesies? All I got from my close reading was: rraaahhrrgaaaffrrshhkkaaah.

Hannibal: “Fate and circumstance have returned us to this moment.” META.

But eventually this new thing happens:

A raven-feathered stag dies on a kitchen floor while riverwater & blood pools and rushes toward you — 10pm Thursdays on NBC

This week on Hannibal: a Mood Poem, to the mood of “mmmmaaAAAIIEEE”

Season 3, Episode 1: “Antipasto”

WE BEGIN. BUCKLE UP BUDDIES, because we are literally on a motorcycle, driven by Hannibal Lecter. Maybe put on some extra buckles?

Hannibal zoom-zooms through Paris to a baroque remix of the music that plays in 2001: A Space Odyssey whenever people look at those black monoliths, and it is très creeptastic. He gets to some sort of private museum castle or something, filled to the brim with very edible rude fancy people, and begins to prowl through them with his motorcycle jacket & black snake eyes.

Dr. Hannibal Leather

I kinda get the feeling that this is Hannibal in his natural hunting grounds. Back in Baltimore he was like a panther among the strays, but here everyone is on his same level of pretentious fuckery & fine wines, and he’s just like “ahhh yes” and luxuriously flexing his murder muscles.
