Lol I'm so glad I wasn't the only one.

Question: Holy Hannibal! I'm a fan of the show, but I find myself consumed with a desire for details on what I have come to call the "Episode 4 Debacle." As you know: NBC announced it was pulling the episode due to sensitivity regarding "recent events" including Newtown and the Boston Marathon bombings. One article I read indicated that in fact, the e-mail from network brass actually was sent the morning of the bombings, before they happened. Another article I read said that the screeners sent to critics included episodes 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6. This, to me, indicates trepidation that goes back further than the bombings. Then, of course, they released excerpts from the episode, eliminating all aspects of the "crime of the week" which involved Molly Shannon. Question 1: Is there any indication that there were other reasons that the episode was pulled? And why it wasn't included in the screeners? The description of that storyline in which guest star Shannon plays a teacher who manipulates students to kill their parents certainly sounds grim, but I can't help but wonder if, after filming, they felt the episode didn't work and are looking for reasons to scrap it without losing the mythology-heavy stuff in the scenes with the series regulars. Have you seen the full episode? Do you have any other theories? Will we ever see the full episode? — Aaron

Matt Roush: To my knowledge, no one has seen the full episode, and until and unless it's included in the DVD release, only overseas audiences (and those technologically gifted enough to bootleg such things) will get to bear witness. Critics were given five episodes to review before premiere, and this episode was conspicuously absent — it was clear while watching them in order that some threads of the Abigail story were missing — so it seems fairly clear that there was ambivalence early on about sharing or broadcasting this episode, from the network's and presumably the creator's point of view. (Unless Bryan Fuller was being disingenuous during his intro to the online clips, we're meant to believe he had a hand in this decision.) I understand the cultural sensitivities up to a point, but for all of its macabre elegance, Hannibal is a fairly twisted show with a very sick sensibility in its death-scene fetishes — those angel wings last week, so creepy! — so I'm not sure why flagging this episode with viewer advisories wouldn't have been enough. If you're watching Hannibal voluntarily, you could probably handle it. If you're the sort that would get upset by this perverse kind of storytelling, you're probably not watching anyway.
