082: Hannibal 3x11 "...And the Beast from the Sea" - He's a Helper

A Matter of Taste

That's...not a GOOD sound...
SPOILERS UP TO (and including) HANNIBAL 3x11
In this episode:

• Discussion of Hannibal 3x11 "...And the Beast from the Sea," including the adaptation and departure from book material, Richard Armitage and Mads Mikkelsen's performances, Nina Arianda as Molly, and OMGWTFCINEMATOGRAPHY.
• Dolarhyde trying to pass on the dragon to a new host or to sate it with Will’s family
• Hannibal has in fact always told the truth, in his own way.
• Hannibal - Textbook Egotist
• The measured conversation between Will and his step-son
• "Wolves in the Heart" and its connection to the duality of Dolarhyde and the Dragon
• What’s really well done about the home invasion scene is that it allows Molly and Walter to escape without making Dolarhyde do something stupid. They earn their exit.

THERE'S ALWAYS AN ADDENDUM:

• Again, apologies for the delay. This week and next week have been/will be particularly busy for me, so there may be some shuffling again. After next week, though, things lighten up, so we'll definitely be back on schedule for the finale, if not for next week. Hopefully.
• Huh--I think I was looking for the word "fable" when talking about that Cherokee story, but the site I linked to (which I just found while Googling now) calls it a parable as well.
• So this story is not actually Native American in origin, it seems to originate from a 1978 book "The Holy Spirit" by Christian Evangelist Billy Graham. Thanks to @munin_and_hugin on Twitter for providing the source.
• Just one highlight from Fio's notes this week: 46:00 - “I feel like we’ve only been talking for like 45 minutes or so” One minute, Ian. One minute away frOM GLOOOOOORY
