you're not more than one generation from poor white trash, are you, Agent Starling?

This article on Clarice Starling makes me want to rewatch Silence of the Lambs and also drives home howthe repeated deaths of smart, clever women on Hannibal is a betrayal of a core value of its progenitor.

hmm . . . thinking about it, while Hannibal of the books preferred to eat the rude, he would still kill those who happened to stand between himself and freedom -- prison guards, the ambulance crew when he escaped wearing that guy's face, etc. So while he would still kill those who stood to reveal him (but not Abigail -- maybe get her fake ID, bag of cash, and a ticket to Europe to get her out of the way), he might allow them a dignity in death and not consider them a food source.

I think Hannibal-the-show ultimately earns a gold 'You Tried' star.

With a condescending pat on the head to boot.
