What a cool detail to pick up on. I really do think every artwork means something on this show.<br /><br />Will and Bedelia's conversation had 100 layers to it, and twice as many double entendres. I still can't quite figure out Bedelia's game, except she may be the smartest one because she survived Hannibal, came out relatively healthy, and is now making money off of him. Except I wouldn't want to trade places with her when he escapes. I bet you're right--they both want to be the most special to Hannibal. <br /><br />Yeah, they seem to be giving Hannibal a lot more than I ever would. He can't be trusted! But confidentiality with him and his lawyer makes sense. <br /><br />That's such a cool flag, thanks for sharing! I can't wait for the last few episodes, but I also wish it would last so much longer.raehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08157356991575628598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6678481478994191244.post-79237006893335341772015-08-12T18:29:34.736-04:002015-08-12T18:29:34.736-04:00Thanks again for a thoughtful review of another cu...Thanks again for a thoughtful review of another culty and weird (thanks for picking up on that line:-)) episode...<br /><br /><i>Bedelia is back. She stands prominently in front of a Hieronymus Bosch painting the first time Will sees her</i><br /><br />That got me thinking. A few episodes back, we had a scene where Hannibal was giving a lecture in Florence and standing in front of a picture of the devil with the title "Lucifer" prominently displayed - now we have Bedelia standing in front of a picture that certainly looks like one of Bosch's depictions of Hell. It's very tempting to see a link between the two scenes, of Hannibal as the devil who has dragged Bedelia down into the pit. Probably reading too much into it, but on the other hand, this show...<br /><br />And on the subject of Bedelia, but was it my imagination or was there a certain undercurrent of jealousy in her conversation with Will, with the two of them competing over who was closest to Hannibal? Very, very weird.<br /><br /><i>Wait, nobody waits and listens to Hannibal’s phone calls? Probably they are being recorded, right? </i><br /><br />Yeah. Not thrilled about that one either, to be honest. All I could think of was that as both the phone calls we saw (both Francis calling in and Hannibal calling out) were supposed to be conversations between Hannibal and his lawyer maybe lawyer/client confidentiality meant they weren't being recorded? But yes, that's a difficult one - all I can say is it's faithful to the books, so...<br /><br />Oh and apropos of absolutely nothing relevant to the show, but my country's flag is also a <a href="http://www.partywizard.co.uk/user/products/large/Bunting/welsh-flag-3-feet-x-5-feet.jpg" rel="nofollow">great red dragon</a>. I mention this for no reason other than amusement value...<br /><br />And again, thanks for continuing to review the show...<br />Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05423394808469206711noreply@blogger.com
