"The Great Red Dragon"
SPOILERS
Excellent opening introducing Francis Dolarhyde. Richard Armitage gives a great performance without even saying a word completely sells it solely using mannerisms and body language. Of course they included all the right images, the William Blake painting, the false teeth and broken mirror, even the blood soaked moon ritual. The film wrapping around his face and his head becoming the movie projector was a really cool visual. Interesting how we see from Hannibal's perspective and he doesn't think of himself as being locked up. I really liked how they showed Will going through the house and reliving the Tooth Fairy massacre. Glad to see Scott Thompson return. I'm really excited about the rest of this story arc but sad the show is winding down.
