Great News

Well, for those of you who started watching the show, thank you. Hannibal has been renewed for a second season. A great series has begun.

Note: Could Hannibal do for horror like what Fringe did for Science-fiction.

Hannibal Episode 1.09

As the season heads into its final 5 episodes "Trou Normand" is an excellent start to the finish line. The crime scene in this one is the craziest one yet, a totem pole of bodies. It's a very intriguing murder case scenario that ends up being pretty simple. The pole stands for the killers body count and the body's on the top and bottom are his last and first.

 Besides that this episode delves deeper into Will Graham's ever breaking psyche as now he is loosing track of time (3 hours!) and starting to talk out lectures when no one is actually in the room. Professor
Bloom comes in during his prep-lecture to confess her reasons for not wanting to be with him (they kissed in a previous episode). She confirms what he doesn't want to here, he's unstable. He has a tough time talking to Jack about this but a much smoother time confessing it to Hannibal Lector (his psychiatrist)

Abigail comes back in this one as the body of Nicholas turns up and Jack Crawford starts asking questions (believing Abigail to be a helper with her dad's crimes) Again I must gush over the acting in this, the girl playing Abby is terrific and her moments with Hannibal are sincere, tense and gushing with emotion.

The killer is later to be revealed to be played by Lance Henricksen. This showcases the show for casting great actors in small, efficient roles.

Everything comes to a head in this episode as Will finally learns that Abigail killed Nicholas Boils and that Hannibal tried to cover it up. Hannibal confesses and notes that if he not do what he did Jack would hang Abigail for her father's crimes. Eventually Abby tells Lector that she helped her dad catch the girls but it is ambiguous if she was just helping her dad so he wouldn't kill her or if her dad was trying to make her like him.

Great insight into Will Graham's mental issues, Hannibal's continuing loyalty to Will and Abigail's character arc make for a very enjoyable episode. Can't wait to see how things continue with Will.

Next Week's episode
