Even in context, it wasn't that creepy for me. Granted, Hannibal is a giant asshole for many reasons, but his handling of Will's seizure in that instance would not be one of them for me.

It showed a medical professional (who is yes, also a serial killer), gently making sure that the seizure wasn't due to a high fever that led to a stroke, that could end up destroying part of his brain.

Like, it could have been filmed so many different ways, all multiplying the sense of horror, but for me, being gentle and considerate to someone after they've had a seizure will always predispose me toward more kindly feelings.

I've been in way too many situations where people have not known what to do, and their panic translates to frustration or even anger at the person having the seizure (me). Or misinterpretation that the person is dangerous because they're behaving erratically (very very very false), when they're actually in danger themselves.

(Spoilers! Yeah, Hannibal was the one who ended up essentially giving Will a seizure disorder to begin with, and that is many kinds of awful, fucked up, abusive creepy, but that one scene made me feel better, as someone with a seizure disorder myself.)

I find the fact Hannibal can be ridiculously gentle & caring more terrifying than the times he's doing scary things.

This is a really interesting insight, and I hope you're around better-prepared people in the future. He can be a good doctor when necessary and a good psychiatrist when he wants to be. To me, that's the tragic part of him. He's very happy the way he is and will never be like, oh woe is me if only I could stop eating people, so it's not that kind of tragedy, it's more like a lost potential thing. He could do so much good with all that intelligence and hypercompetence, but something went wrong in there at some point and here we are. I feel like he has patients he never did anything awful to who are just going to be in denial about the whole serial killer thing and try to keep up their appointments after he's caught, lol.
