[S1 EP11 Roti]

*Chilton and Hannibal-asshole and assholier.(Indeed-Hannibal in this  episode, after his seizure: "I said it was mild!"

*Will's dreams-the dream with the wave is a a shout out to Peter Weir's The Last Wave.The dream sequences seem to become more intense from episode 7 on.Water is a recurring theme here as well. The antler imagery is pretty prominent here too(Hello, Will's hallucination during Jack's briefing.)

*Gotta love Abel Gideon,divorce expert:"Regarding divorce..it's better to kill them..less paperwork."

*This is one of the more brutal crime scenes.This is also the episode with the Colombian necktie.

*Alana gets all feisty with Chilton.Hey, *somebody* has to,you know?

*Season 2 Chilton is unethical. But he's pretty damn unethical in S1 too.

*It's surprising(and holy shit-he checks himself out of the hospital in the next episode)that Will is even able to walk around-his recovery by the end of S1 is nothing if not miraculous.Sorry, but it's true:P Holy crap, he's nearly dead(has a seizure FFS!) drives to Alana's house and is able to take Abel Gideon(sorry) down, and promptly collapses in the snow.

That seizure, BTW, is one of the scariest things I have ever seen.

The scene with Will in the hospital, where she holds his hands-it's a scene done without any sort of dialogue-it's saying a lot, without saying anything, if that makes any sense.

*This is a Freddie Lounds-centric episode-I think(at this point) Will(and everyone at the FBI for that matter) are still side-eyeing her. (I always expect someone to pop up in the seat behind her in that scene in her car).

She is preternaturally calm when she is  trying to keep Gideon alive which suggests to me she went along semi-willingly(Stockholm Syndrome?)

(Thanks to Hannibal,abandoned observatories will never not be creepy.)

Gideon just walks out of the observatory like "My work here is done".

*We get a Hannibal-Bedelia scene where Bedelia tries to steer Hannibal the right way..but she  looks the other way at a lot of stuff and she may be enabling him/an accomplice.

I'll be interested to see where their relationship goes in S3 given the last part of S2.
