you don't really need to be interested in the 60s to like it. Season 1 kind of hammers down the "lol weren't people different back then?", but for the most part it largely remains a character study.

He's talking about Ceuf, the ep with Molly Shannon.
Eps 8 9 and 10 of S2 were weak, when Will was getting sucked into Hannibal's world and the viewer wasn't privy to his scheme and there was just a lot of "trust us all that momentum from episode 6 and 7 is gonna come back"
Hannibal made a number of questionable creative decisions, about equal to its brilliant ones

Œuf was a weaker episode, but I wouldn't rate it as "bad."

I don't think there was a bad episode really, but I don't think that they made the best use of the time. The case-of-the-week structure coming back wasn't welcome, I felt the show had evolved past it and they were the weakest cases of the week as far as I was concerned. Still one of my all time favs, just one I don't think only made good calls.

How dare you fucking insult me?
I'm generally too quick to violence to be "alpha".
Like, when some nigger (or non-nigger) gives me shit I give them one warning, then fuck them up if they cross me again. No "hurr! Alpha male!" bullshit in there. No tough guy posturing, or big talk and I make no attempt to lead anyone, be cool, get attention, ect. I just hurt people when I feel that they need it and they respect me for it (or I might just hurt them again)
Alpha males are generally male whores. They require constant attention from everyone or they go to pieces and get all bitchy. They need to feel wanted, or they lose their mojo. They need their crew, or they're just another fedora wearing ass wipe. They are literally nothing on their own, lol...
I'm more like a shark. I perform most tasks better on my own and if you fuck with me, you may die. Period. No need for any attention whoring or any other "alpha" behavior on my part.
And the bitches all still want my dick. This whole "alpha male" thing seems to me to be a desperate attempt by weaklings to appear to be real men. They buy expensive things, collect "friends" and socially network. Hell, they even learn to sound tough. But push come to shove, I've sent plenty of alphas running away after I literally threw them across a room. So yeah...
I'm basically too "no bullshit", headstrong and violent to be alpha. And I have no problem with that at all.
