Watching Hannibal again and here is a revelation

The window panes are the periodic table elements and notice how Chiyoh is literally standing in between two elements 🤪

It now seems clear to me that the nightmare stag was probably an extension of Garrett Jacob Hobbs’ Room of Excessive Antlers.

But when I first watched this show (binge-fashion, having been told I would probably hate it, and not entirely paying attention), I assumed that the S2 Hannibal Stag was a cuckhold metaphor.

And that made sense to me, because for all Hannibal’s facade of social competence, he is, fundamentally, incapable of forming a normal human relationship.

It’s all for show, and beneath it, he is deeply, miserably alone.

don't mention reba and francis in front of me or you'll get a two hour long rant about how they're the most perfect parallel for hannigram and how every single interaction and detail is actually revealing to the audience things they couldn't show through Will and Hannibal
