Not just airing Network television, but with ridiculous upbeat commercials airing in between the violence and psychological trauma
Don't know if you also watched it on NBC, but I was happy to finally watch it without feeling I was getting whiplash from the tone shifts

Roland Umber's escape from the mural is probably the most harrowing sequence in the whole show to me. It's just so...bleak. It lets you almost start to hope for his survival only to extinguish it in the most anti-climactic, blunt way possible. I've seen it so many times, yet it still forms a pit in my stomach. Ugh.

You know every single time something really fucked up happens in this show I have to remind myself that shit aired on network television and it makes me laugh.
Loved your intelligent commentary & very often spot on predictions of the characters reactions and dialog. I enjoy and appreciate getting both yours and Frank's reactions a few weeks apart to compare and contrast your approaches, much like you both did with IWTV.π₯°
This episode somehow manages to combine both my LEAST favorite scene of the entire series: (the opening with Roland Umber tearing himself free from the muralπ€’ ) and also one of my MOST favorites: (Will fishing in his supposedly safe mental stream of consciousness, while the ghostly images of bodies drift byπ ). In fact I love this image so much, I commissioned a talented fan and stitchery artist to make a needlepoint of this scene that I have framed in my home.

Thank you Melissa at this point is it fair to say Hannibal is leaving clues for Jack or is that kind of spoiler territory π π

I still remember my reaction to Bedelia visiting Will at the end of the episode. It was so unexpected. That woman knew to get the hell out of there, and she was right. He comes to kill her, but she's already left.
That would be a great Halloween costume! It's so nice to have you back. I love your excitement and pure reactions -- your passion and genuineness is phenom. I've missed it.

Love the game! I like it more so when itβs just Hannibal visiting Will by himself because they are more honest in going toe to toe than when someone is there with them. And Bedelia Hannibalβs psychiatrist is smart she said Iβm out of here, she wasnβt staying around to get killed!
