We revel in a Killer of the Week (2 weeks) that we actually enjoy. After a tremendous bit of gore and intensity in the open, Episode 2 of Season 2 has dramatically upped the game, stripping away every bit of fat and introducing a lean story on all fronts. This episode is also an outstanding showcase for the curious performance of Gillian Anderson as Dr. Bedelia Du Maurier. All on this episode of Eat The Rudecast, an unauthorized podcast about NBC's Hannibal, and the works of Thomas Harris.

Have you guys looked into the symbolism of the jail bars this season? I don’t remember which episodes it comes up in, and it’s not my original idea (I saw it on a discussion thread somewhere). If you pay attention to the scenes with Will in jail, the showing of the jail bars (or not) seems to correlate to how free Will feels. I vaguely remember a few scenes where Will is in his mind palace (in the river) and you see him in jail but the bars are nowhere to be seen. Then when the FBI or others are there to see him, you see Will through the bars again.
this is VERY interesting. I think that the bars are a lot about how caged will feels.
