Definitely not a favorite episode for me either. It's like they put this one together in a rush and padded out the rest.

In the book it was like this Opening in Lithuania during 1941, Hannibal Lecter is eight years old and living in a castle with his parents and sister, Mischa. With the castle located near the eastern front of World War II, the Lecter family escapes to their lodge to elude the advancing German troops. With the castle abandoned, it is soon raided by Germans and civilians aiding them, their hidden art collection being among the stolen loot. Three years later, an advancing Soviet tank stops at the Lecter family's lodge looking for water, only to be bombed by a German Stuka, the explosion killing all but the children. Surviving in the lodge, Hannibal and Mischa are captured when six deserters appear: Vladis Grutas, Zigmas Milko, Bronys Grentz, Enrikas Dortlich, Petras Kolnas and Kazys Porvik. Storming and looting the lodge, they lock the Lecters in the barn. Running low on supplies, the soldiers soon take Mischa; realizing they intend to cannibalize her, Hannibal tries to stop them, only to have his arm broken before he blacks out. He learned later that he ate pieces of her too when he was fed by the guys . They ate Mischa but so did Hannibal

It's a slower episode sure but I don't think it was rushed together. A set up episode moving things into place for future events though. It allows Will to see where Hannibal was raised and get closer to knowing and understanding Hannibal the person, not the person suit. Plus it introduces us to Chiyo and reinforces the fact that Hannibal pushing people to murder is not a new concept. I always find it curious and interesting that Will stages the body of the dead guy who killed Hannibal's sister. He knows Hannibal will never go back there and yet he does it anyway. Why? Out of respect for what Hannibal would have wanted for his sister's murderer? Out of desire to feel closer to Hannibal? A little bit of both or is it something else entirely? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I also love the way Hannibal, sorry Bedelia kills Pagliato right out of the gate at the top of the episode. Hannibal's cover is intact after killing Dimmond and he's in no danger of being found out, yet now that Will has come looking for him and forgiven him, he immediately blows up his safety net on the chance he can put the shattered teacup back together. I do agree though that the episode is padded out with the imagery and slow motion shots. Partly because Fuller knew season three was going to be the end and said fuck it I'll be as pretentious and artsy as I want it's my show and no one can stop me now. The other part being it needed to end where it did so that the next episode could pick up at the proper starting point and he didn't want to get into that just yet. Cheers!
