That's a very interesting parallel, between Carra and Will. It particularly interests me that I never really saw it before.;)
Oh, I'm SO glad you're beginning your journey through Hannibal Season One! I still have all the episodes I managed to PVR saved, and have re-watched a surprising amount of them already, even the sadly truncated finale (Steve only noticed it wasn't recording twenty minutes from the end, and I had to watch the rest of it on-line, which is not my favourite thing in the world). I'll have to wait 'til it comes out on DVD to finally get to see "Oeuf", the episode NBC decided not to show in the wake of various tragedies, but the season certainly doesn't feel incomplete without it; I think it'd just deepen things.
And in Episode Two you get another genderswapped character, the frankly amazing Fredd(ie) Lounds, who manages to be just as venal and ruthless as her male versions, but far more interesting and clever. To some degree, it's because coding her as female makes her an underdog, which makes you want to like her. Then you see some of the things she does in pursuit of her code of enlightened self-interest and prurient obsession with tragedy, and things get...complicated. My favourite line of hers, thus far, comes later in the season: "And here we are. A bunch of psychopaths, all helping each other out."
