Episode 2.1 Kaiseki - February 28, 2014 Recap & Review

Episode 2.1    Kaiseki - February 28, 2014 Recap & Review
"Jack Crawford doesn't know what you're capable of"
"Neither do you"


So in the first few moments of the show ... WTF!!!
So if the show is going to stay religious to the time line of the books, you know Lawrence Fishburne (Not Morgan Stanley or Samuel Jackson right FOX) will survive the fight. Would it not be great for him to reprise his Nessun Dorma in the middle of the fight?

Will is locked up. Hannibal is hilariously filling Will's shoes. Gillian Anderson is playing a bigger role now. Lawrence Fishburne's job is in jeopardy. 

SPOILER ALERT...

This episode focuses more on Hannibal than any other in Season One.  Opening scene pits Hannibal and Jack  Crawford in a mortal combat. Cut to twelve weeks earlier - perfect for 12 episode left in the season- Jack Crawford is in trouble with management. Kade Prurnell (Cynthia Nixon - Sex and the City) is investigating the way Will was used in the field knowing about his problems. Alana Bloom (Caroline Dhavermas) refuses to recant her accusations. With Will locked up, Jack invites Lector to take his job. Mads Mikkelsen's Hannibal is loving his new job a little too much. YADA YADA YADA
I have been having nightmares based on the final image of this episode... 



Hannibal v Joe Carroll

I love watching this and Following at the same time - give or take a few weeks. Both shows deal with a serial killer. And both - for all their insanity - have to deal with characters far more insane. Fascinating. 

Hannibal likes to create culinary art from his victims. 
Joe Carroll is all about the passion in the moment of death. 
Both seem to really enjoy the game of being just a step or two in front of the lawmen chasing them.
Both have a very distinct relationship with one or more of their hunters.

Watch Season 2 preview below: Is it me or does Brian sound like Hugh's American voice?
