Hannibal 1x03: "Potage"

[cleolinda]

I knew someone would eventually go back to King Arthur and find something hilariously relevant to Hannibal, but I didn't know it'd be amazing.

PREVIOUSLY ON: EMPATH AND CANNIBAL: Will managed not to shoot the fuck out of the Mushroom Whisperer. Miss Freddie Lounds was not just "terribly rude" but downright "naughty," and we all started flailing.

Hannibal Lecter does not sleep. HE KILLS.

I watched "Potage" with a friend of mine which led to this conversation:

Friend after 30 minutes: What do you think Lecter wears when he sleeps? Silk pajamas with a plaid pattern?

Me: I don't think he sleeps. Ever. He's too busy killing and transporting body parts across several state lines in under 2 hours.

But seriously, I don't think he sleeps.

This may have been particularly startling because this is the first time we've actually seen Lecter do anything violent. Given that we neither saw nor can explain how he accomplished any of his previous shenanigans, you could have told me he'd been killing people with the magical powers of his mind and I would have been like, "Sure, that makes as much sense as anything."Yes, this is so damn true. I could barely believe it when I exclaimed, "What the hell?!" when he did this considering slamming a person against a wall is practically his version of Hello given half the shit he's supposedly pulled at this point. But it is the first violent

I think he dies on some sort of linoleum or tile, which would be easier to clean. I was also really confused because getting blood out of carpet in minutes would have been impressive, even for Hannibal.

Club soda. *nods*

A little club soda fix most everything!

(Did I seriously just get out and turn on my external drives to watch several minutes of a Venture Bros episode of check the wording of a reference that I had no real need to make and have no idea if anyone will get? Oh well.)

I... I'm really going to have to assume this is true, actually.

[joonscribble]

He might own sleepwear regardless of whether or not he utilizes them. I can picture his robe is also silk with a subtle paisley pattern or something.

[goldenusagi]

I bet he owns an old fashioned smoking jacket.

[meleth]

He owns pajamas exclusively so he can convince people that he sleeps and is otherwise human.

[cleolinda]

I like how he's just starting to sound more and more like an actual vampire.

[meleth]

DON'T INVITE HIM IN OH GOD NOOOOOOOOOO.

[cleolinda]

TOO LATE

[cleolinda]

WELP, we just got an answer to that question. :D

[goldenusagi]

God, we did, didn't we?

Who babysits Will's dogs? What do Hannibal's pajamas look like? Our questions are being answered, quick, ask something else!

The Merchant Fox or Derek Rose. I, personally, am partial to this dressing gown.

Obviously, like Chrestomanci, he has a dazzling array of fancy dressing gowns. (And the ability to magically transport himself, which is how he hides all these bodies.)
