*SPOILERS FOR THE EPISODE FOLLOW*
Well things are getting darker and more twisted every week now and Will has started to become more evil and sinister then Hannibal and Hannibal is the ripper. So after last weeks end scene as Hannibal walked in to find a dead man on his table and Will standing there at the other end you knew things wouldn't be the same again. Hannibal has finally gotten him where he wants him and the student has become a master and their relationship with each other has become almost like their one person now rather then friends or enemies. I think this has been Hannibals master plan all along ever since the first time that he met him and went with Will to confront Jacob Hobbs all that time ago. My thinking is that he saw the potential in Will so he became friends with him to let his guard down and subtly showed him who he was so that Will would slowly come to warm to what he does. So now that they have seen that they are equally matched they have come to that same mindset that they are one, that neither one can live without the other because they understand each other.
So this week we started where we left off last week with this almost intimate scene between Will and Hannibal as they discuss how Will felt killing him. The scene was beautiful and you see just how well crafted the show is and the amount of care and detail that they go into when making the show. There was great dialogue throughout the entire episode as we had yet another Hannibal and Will centered episode. Which is defiantly not a bad thing as Jack sits on the back burner so that we can stick with the relationship between the two or three people shall we say that's most interesting.
I say this because we saw the return of my faviroute character Alana Bloom I lie because if you have read any of my other reviews I feel she brings nothing to the show and has never been fully developed. In the same way as say Freddie has who was great to see return his week but were get to her later. So Alana felt like she had a purpose this week as she sat and ate dinner with Will and Alana and she discussed how their relationship is ever changing and strange almost. How to people can go from being enemies to friends they are connected maybe more the Hannibal and Alana are which I felt she could tell herself. So this leads me to the Hannibal and Alana in bed while Will was in bed with one of the twins. It was strange and weird but it worked as you watch Will fantasise about being with Alana almost as if he was Hannibal and the scene ended with her laying between Hannibal and Will. It was weird but it worked because it symbolised the relationship between the doctor and his patient. That they are now one and the same so Will has started to see himself as Hannibal in a lot of ways. I have found this ever since he was released from prison as his mannerisms have changed and his clothing and hair have changed. If you haven't noticed by now which I would be surprised but just look at them both standing next to each other it's like looking at two brothers or a mentor and his apprentice. I said this in a previous review but I see him looking at Will as almost like his child someone that he is able to mould into the person he wants him to be. Could be like a really evil double act both of them wearing those clear suits as they take down who ever takes their fancy and place them on the frying pan.
So we finally got to meet this famous brother that Hannibals new patient has been mentioning for a couple of episode now as she spoke about how she had a chance to kill him but couldn't do it. Hannibal suggests that maybe she can't do it so maybe someone else could do it for her which he advised her in a previous episode. So Hannibal had a meeting with him this week Ipright I'm not going to name him I'm just going to call him the pig man, because people can correct me if I'm wrong but isn't he the man that Hannibal eventually feeds to the pigs. So he showed Hannibal is prized possessions pigs that he is training to kill a live man that is slowly lowered down to them. So we watched as he demonstrated with a dummie covered in blood and screamed every now and again. This scene was brillaint as it was utterly terrifying and I quickly realised just why she wanted to kill her brother because he's just pure evil. Which you could say about Hannibal but at least he's a gentleman killer. I'm definantly never going to be able to look at a pig the same way again those as you heared the squeals as they ripped this dummy off of the rope and ripped it apart. I think were in for a shocker when we finally reach this mans death because if we know this show then it's going to be stylistic and just plain gruesome.
So there was only one other main member of the cast that really played a big part in the epsiode this week and that was Freddie Lownes who is writing her story on Will and his relationship with Hannibal. I think it was obvious this week that she was going to meet her end and I was just waiting for it. So Freddie being the reporter that she is she sneaked onto Wills farm to they and find out some more answers on his relationship with Hannibal. Especially after he has suddenly changed his feelings on Hanniabl in just a few weeks from when he was classing him as a killer and now he's classing him as a friend. Poor old Freddie we lost another big cast memeber this week were losing cast members quicker then were adding to it we won't be left with anyone at the rate their going. She sneaked into his Farmhouse and found the bear suit hanging up in thier used by are killer last week. That was something that we didn't see this week was a new killer as are killer was Will. Must have been great for Jack and the rest of the team getting a week off from weird killings. But the point that things hit a head was when Freddie turned around to find Will standing there and that was it I was terrified of him. He's less he hero of the show now and more a villain as he told her to give her what she has and before he can stop her she escapes and runs for her car. Where she phones Jack and leave the phone on so that Jack can hear her screams as Will dragged her away and goodbye Freddie the last we will be seeing of you again. While Hannibal is scary in that clear suit, Will takes it to another level with those eyes and those gloves he was wearing never trust anyone wearing leather driving gloves.
We ended this week with Will bring Hannibal the meat for a meal for dinner and as Hannibal questioned what type of meat his eyes lit up to the possibilities. The chemistry between Mads and Hugh is clear in this scene as they give brillaint preformances and work so well bouncing off each other. It was great to see Hannibal giving that sinister smile as he realised that his student was now learning and he was about to pass his final test. Which is what I feel it was now that he has taken his kill and statisfied with the kill he wants to savour it by eating them. Well Will certainly ain't going to be the same again now that he's savouring human meat and enjoying it.
This was a strong epsiode this week and what amazes be about this show and this season of the show is that want episode has just topped itself. It just shows that care and dedication that they put into the show and how much talent their is with the writers of the show. The script was brilliant this week as Hannibal and Will stayed front and center of the episode once again and to be honest if it stayed like that for the rest of the season that would be fine with me.
