Second Course

.
Last night's second episode of Hannibal was somehow even better than the already terrific premiere - the characters are starting to really come forward, individual quirks coming out - there was more humor this time, and like I tweeted the gruesomeness the episode centered on (Motel Hell shout out and all) was one of the prettiest things I've ever seen on television, at least as far as horror imagery goes. (Don't you give me that side-eye.) The colors they were bringing out in that forest - the yellows and greens of the leaves and the earthiness of it all - heart-stopping eye-popping prettiness, every single frame of it. And the show actually got me to jump off the couch not once, but twice! I don't jump easily. All that and a character from Wonderfalls showed up? I mean come on! In case you did miss it, you can watch it below. And while you're doing so, go onto Amazon and purchase one of those lashes that priests castigate themselves with, because that's what you should do to yourself for not watching the show live.
