So, about two weeks ago, [livejournal.com profile] qualapec pitched Hannibal to me via e-mail. She mentioned several factors, but the significant one was the fucked up fathers-daughter relationship between Hannibal (who eats people) and Will Graham (a FBI agent not-so-slowly going crazy) and Abigail Hobbs(her father was a cannibal who was grooming her to be the same as well as using her to help murder girls, he almost slaughters Abigail in her kitchen, she wants to grow up to be an FBI agent now).

So I first officially quit the show when I realized that Hannibal was going to keep killing people I cared about (Abigail’s friend! Intrepid FBI trainee!) instead of the rude people I hated and wanted to see die a grisly death (bitchy reporter!).

But then I realized I had missed the part where Hannibal made Abigail breakfast for dinner! (FYI, I initially though Hannibal also grooming Abigail to be a serial killer but after the most recent episode I AM NOT SURE. He seemed so honestly loving!) So I watched that. And then saw the part where Will bought Abigail a fly-tying kit. HE WANTED TO TAKE HER FISHING. HE WANTED TO TAKE HER FISHING *WEEPS* *WAILS* *BEATS BREAST* WILL WANTED TO TAKE HER FISHING, LIKE HIS FATHER TOOK HIM FISHING (How did his father die? I’m betting suicide.) ABIGAIL’S FIRST SERIAL KILLER DAD TAUGHT HER TO HUNT, WILL WANTS TO TEACH HER TO FISH, HANNIBAL WANTS TO TEACH ABIGAIL HOW TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER (AND PROBABLY HOW TO COOK, TOO), SHE IS GOING TO GROW UP TO BE THE MOST WELL-ROUNDED SERIAL-KILING LITTLE FBI AGENT EVER. (Because I that's what I really want - Abigail to grow up to be lady FBI version of Dexter.)

So, yeah, quitting this show the first time didn’t take. CLEARLY.

Some final thoughts:

The creepiest moment in the minisode series was seeing Will’s immaculate drawer of white t-shirts and socks. That is some fucked up shit right there.

I love how in this show, being a vegetarian is like being a cannibalistic serial killer on any other show. "Meat ruins salad!" says bitchy reporter. Me: Hannibal, you kill and eat that bitch right the fuck now.
