So Ep. 5 and then Ep. 4 yeah? I haven't started the series yet. Sourced all the episodes aired this far sans Ep. 04.
You can watch Episode 4 and then 5. The webisode is different, as it's just a bunch of small 3 minute clips showing Hannibal's interviews with Will, Abigail and Jack. It's just to further the character development and sort of serves as a bridge to episode 3 and 5. Total runtime is around 20 minutes. The true episode which aired in India is online now and that's the full 44 minute length. So grab both; the webisode version and the un-aired version.
why would they do that ? Not airing one episode in US and skipping it entirely ?
According to show's creator Bryan Fuller, the episode's content was not appropriate for it to be aired on National television at this point. So they removed it entirely. What did it offer which was so offensive? Watch it and find out.
Episode 5 was again awesome. But it seems like the show is in skating on thin ice right now. People are saying it's may be cancelled from NBC due to it's graphic nature. If that happens then screw NBC and get it on Showtime or some other cable network where this show really belongs. It's right up there with Dexter in terms of horrific death scenes. Heck, it's more realistic than Dexter.
