I see the wine fanon is ok now, awesome!

But please, I'd really love you to consider the edit of that that Mongoose part which is not exactly as meant by Hannibal/show writers in the Aperitif summary. (I found out you wrote that summary and let me say I really mean no offense - it's also translated in a similar way but even much more wrong in our dabbing of the series so it's, indeed, a very difficult quote for people who don't know the animal's habits & history or something.) As written now, it's changing what Hannibal meant and the importance of that for the story (Hannibal wanted to tell Will that unlike others/Jack he doesn't see him as something fragile that needs to be protected but as a strong man who maybe doesn't look like that but can defeat even the most dangerous "predators" - same as is the mongoose who is kinda small and cute animal but can kill even cobra, the very dangerous & murderous snake.

The quote as it is said in the show - "The mongoose I want under the house when the snakes slither by." (Mongooses are held under houses to protect ppl in them from snakes, not to hide there) - see the original quote in the script itself if needed: http://livingdeadguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Hannibal-Ep-101-Aperitif.pdf

See that what I'm saying about mongooses is true, here: http://fightland.vice.com/blog/the-mongoose-lessons-in-fighting-from-natures-greatest-outfighter also "there was a time when in India pet mongooses were kept to guard people and their dwellings against snakes." - http://bwc-india.org/Web/Awareness/LearnAbout/Mongooses.html, "It is naturally immune to snake venom and hunts serpents as a main food source. ... Many countries in Europe and Asia keep mongoose as pets for the purpose of warding against snakes." - http://www.snake-removal.com/animal-enemies.html  etc.

The way it's is written in the summary now suggests that Hannibal sees Will as a weak guy who needs to be protected or is scared & hiding from danger while he actually said he sees him as the "nature's greatest outfighter".

It may seem like a small unimportant quote but it actually formed their relationship a lot (Wil was pleased that someone finally doesn't see him fragile and opened to Hannibal a bit more) and also shows what Hannibal sees in Will and what he tries to get more to his surface the whole season 1.

Please think about it, you can even edit it yourself :) I just really can't leave this be, esp. after our TV translation called Will a hen that needs to be protected from the snakes... XD
