A review with a delay. But here I am at last. Welcome back, Fannibals.
It goes without saying that watching a man get killed by an eel is pretty, eh creative. Pigs would've been nice, too. Same effect, though.
On to the serious stuff.
Will Graham and Hannibal have reached a stalemate. Sort of. In Will's case, it's the choice to get rid of a festering wound, which is perfectly understandable after what happened to him. As for Hannibal, the transition from wanting to eat Will's heart to saving him is kind of murky. I must have lost a vital piece of info, but it's hard for me to understand what Hannibal's motives are. For instance, he became almost submissive at the end, which goes against his state of mind and where his priorities usually lie; or what he thinks of Will at the time he is captured and incarcerated.
Another seemingly out of character scene was Jack's passive acceptance of Hannibal's surrender, especially after the scene he was forced to witness. But then, he had Chiyoh on his back. Her own motives were just as murky, but maybe we are supposed to see her in a different light.
Overall, the ladies fared better than the rest. I was disappointed that Alana's and Margot's relationship wasn't as well developed as it could have been. But I enjoyed the conclusion between Alana and Hannibal, the fact that she never understood him, but still tried to protect Will. Though, why did he keep his promise again? The power of love?
What did you think of Digestivo?
