S3E02 "Primavera" Notes

This one’s longer.  Is this too long?  What do you all think-- should I try to edit some of it out next time?  How in-depth do you want this to be?  I’m still unclear on whether my ‘keep reading’ links work for anyone on the mobile app, so if anyone has insight for me about that, I’d be glad to have it.  If they do work, I’ll come back and put a link in.  In the meantime, I’m just going to post this long version and apologise for clogging up your dashes.

WILL!!!!!!!!  I am appeased.

Oh no, Mizumono.

O.o face… teacup??

Well, that’s a nicely-wallpapered and atmospheric hospital room.  Why aren’t those everywhere?

OKAY WHAT IN THE HELL KIND OF DOCTOR WOULD JUST SPRING ABIGAIL ON HIM LIKE THAT???  The guy just woke up!  Look at his breathing! …okay, stop looking at his breathing now. … ANYWAY.  How about giving the man a little time to orient himself?  How about asking first!  Fuck!

:D Abigail ships the Murder Family??  (Is family-shipping a thing?) She’s like “dammit Will, he had a nice house picked out and everything!  I wanted to go to southern France!"  (By the way, in my head Hannibal is a southern France person, at least as far as France goes.  Paris would drive him nuts.)  She was SMILING when she said "he made a place for us."  And I know, Stockholm Syndrome, but this whole thing is irreversibly fucked up, so I don’t really see my way to taking exception to it.

Okay, I’m going to have to back this up again– I know Will’s talking, but his FACE and his CHEST and his BREATHING– I keep getting distracted, okay?

:D OFFICE!!!!!!!!!!! I THOUGHT I’D NEVER SEE YOU AGAIN!!!!! Is it weird to feel like there’s something a bit sexual about this hallucination?

Time jump??  And scrolling ‘typed’ location exposition??  We’re starting with this now?  Well... okay.

Wait, who’s dogsitting?

How have Will and Abigail not pissed off five little old Italian grannies by now??  Little old Italian grannies are dangerous.  They can, and will, kick your ass with a wooden spoon if they feel like it.

Ohhhh, that skeleton mosaic’s pose brings to mind all kinds of silly Edwardian-ladies-in-illustrations jokes.

Wait, the giant heart/flayed torso on the swords wasn’t just a symbolic/hallucinated thing??  Hannibal… nice.

Is Abigail’s ombre jacket meant to look like it’s bloodstained?

Pazzi… I want to like you, but you’re just not making it easy for some reason.

I’m… not sure how to feel about Hannibal’s 20-years-ago photograph, but it feels like I ought to be feeling something.

This is some pretty heavy-duty exposition here.

‘Twist you into uncomfortable positions’… so, Hannibal made the false Will Graham figure into a gift/message for the real Will Graham?

Wrath of the Roast Chicken… I mean, Ravenstag.

DAMN, Abigail ships it so hard.

The mind-fuckery is strong with this one.  Man, I missed In-Will’s-Head Time.  I genuinely didn’t know for a moment if Hannibal was really there.

And Hannibal WAS there!  My heart sings in glee for the poetic perfection of the moment.

… oh.  Oh, no.

*sobbing*  LEAVE ME ALONE WITH THE FUCKING REQUIEM YOU HEARTLESS BASTARD!!!

Pazzi, leave me alone or I swear I will rip out your corneas.

How on earth could anyone not see this and get ‘Hannigram’?  Even without the ‘He gave you his heart’ bit.  Even just the way Will LOOKS when he’s talking about Hannibal… fuck, this show is so intense.

Catacombs: Now, normally this would feel dangerous and claustrophobic.  This is perfect jump-scare territory.  But it doesn’t feel like that at all, because I’m thinking "Please let him meet Hannibal, please let him meet Hannibal, etc."  It feels like one of those labyrinthine palatial hedge-gardens perfect for lovers’ trysts. … I LOVE that.

"I’m not alone.  I’m with you.”  Pazzi’s mannerisms here, like he’s talking to a bullheaded eight-year-old, amuse me greatly.

“Your Il Monstro”… I die.

:D Will’s perfect drama-queen supervillain back-away melt-into-shadow departure does good things for my soul.

Will twisting about and looking all around him through the catacombs: For one singular moment, it just slammed into me what he's feeling/thinking:  'He’s everywhere… and nowhere.'  (Did that sound pretentious?  I can’t tell.)  

!!! You can see the 'Please’ on his face before the ‘I forgive you.’  You can see just the barest suggestion of a smile on Hannibal’s face after!

THIS IS THE GREATEST LOVE STORY EVER TOLD I’m running out of words.  Thank goodness it’s the end of the episode…

...I don’t want to wait half a week to watch the next one...

Feedback would be very, very nice, thanks!
