I am not ashamed to admit that I turned away and screamed for the entirety of this episode's teaser, oh my God. So incredibly horrifying. I would probably have immediately given up and waited to die in that situation.

Aaaaaand Bedelia is officially the smartest character on this show. Every scene with her (in the series, but particularly this episode) is absolutely gripping and electric. The scene in Lecter's office is so frightening, and the scene with Will is just...I don't even know what emotion to attribute to that scene, I was just flailing and grinning and OH MY GOD OH MY GODing the whole time.

Georgia's death is probably the most disturbing on the show thus far to me, probably because we a) see it happen, b) to a character we know and love, and c) it's just an awful way to die. Add that to the fact that it happens in such a confined space, and you have a perfect scenario with which to freak me out. Watching it the first time, I'm pretty sure I just deadpanned, "Are you fucking kidding me." at the screen. When re-watching it with my older sister and her fiance, I casually left the room until the teaser was done.

My younger sister and I watched this episode live together, and we basically just screamed at the TV for the entire last scene. Also, we were live tweeting, and both of our twitter pages looked completely ridiculous afterwards. All caps and incoherent key smashes and swearing. Same with the episode before, actually, where we yelled and swore a LOT (both irl and on twitter) during the "Please don't lie to me" scene.

It's been a long time since I've been as angry with a fictional character as I am with this Hannibal. I mean, I went in familiar with the source material and knowing he's a serial killing cannibal, and I was still unprepared for how horrible he actually is. He's the absolute worst.

ETA: Also, I would watch an entire show that was just Bedelia and Hannibal's sessions. Those two are unbelievable together.

The omakes are legit the biggest reason why I recommend people read the manga at some point. I'm not fussed about whether people watch the anime(s) or read the manga first, or at all, but at least read the back of each volume. Because omg.

They're especially wonderful after particularly heavy volumes. (See also: all the volumes)

Holy crap, thank you so much for this. *saved*

Oh my GOD! ahahaHAHA

This is legit one of my very favourite things Chuck has ever done.

Ugggh, yeah, I remember this. I didn't see the final episodes until I got it on DVD because I just had NO CLUE when it was on. I was so upset. It makes me mad just remembering it. Now I just endlessly rewatch my DVDs.

Chuck and Olive's friendship gives me life. Pretty much all the reasons I love them have been stated by other people in the comments of this and other episodes (no competitive jealousy over Ned, respecting one another's feelings, Olive supporting Chuck's need to hide from Ned despite Olive being in love with Ned, etc), but I just wanted to add my voice to the chorus of Olive/Chuck BROTP supporters. I just love friendship so much, you guys.
