* AdoptTheDog: The writers wisely employ this trope halfway through Episode 1, during which we've watched the odd and decidedly unsocial Will Graham replay 2 crimes in his head with him being the killer. So before Lechter has his first scene, they have Graham pick up a stray dog and get him to eat out of his hand. It's the first time we see him as human, and his genuine care for the dog, along with the other dogs he has at home, makes us realize that he is a good person--unlike Hobbs or even Lechter who would probably eat the dog.
