Re: Hannibal smiling in the courtroom during Will’s trial when the lawyer calls him “the smartest person in the room”; I really think it is a point of pride for Hannibal for besting someone as keenly intelligent as Will. Will fucking Graham with his brain on fire still pointed his finger in the right direction. How insane is that? Imagine being out of your fucking mind, being manipulated by the invigilator, and still scribbling out the right answer on the answer sheet. While Hannibal is manipulating Will like a new toy, I also imagine him putting Will under a microscope, face covered, eyes protected, gloves on, as he coldly looks at his specimen with considerable (especially for him) wariness.
