Officially Upset Now

[gothrockrulz]

A lot of great things happened in this week's Hannibal episode, but all I can think about now is poor Margot. Way to go, writing team, you managed to make me feel sympathetic trauma and violation on Margot's behalf, on the same scale I would have felt if I had to witness a rape scene, without actually witnessing a rape scene. AFTER I was ALREADY squirming and cringing because we didn't escape allusions to the things Mason did to children. I was really, really hoping that would get left out, or referenced so quickly, you'd miss it if you blinked. But, noooo, we had to watch the freakin' tear-jerker scene with the little boy (and watch it replayed with Margot), AND listen to Mason bragging in a few words that were still WAY TOO MANY to Hannibal. It was difficult enough to read it in the book--it's a whole different ballgame to watch it on TV. For entertainment.


To say I feel betrayed in a vague yet still personal way is an understatement. Maybe it's just because I'm really, really sensitive about pregnant women and children in general. Probably it's not.


Somebody tear Mason Verger to shreds. Please and thank you. Now I'm off to go watch something therapeutic.


ETA: Oh, look, Alana GIFs that explain perfectly how I feel.
