Please reblog for a larger sample size!
I don't know if anyone has already done this, but after this poll is done, I'll do one for season 2 and then season 3, and then the winners of each poll will go up against each other in a final round.

So is it canon then that Will's father is alive? Because I'm watching Ceuf, and when Hannibal talks about his parents dying, Will says "You have orphan in common with Abigail Hobbs." He says you, not we.
I'm sure this is old news but I never noticed that before.

An Albanian family had encamped
Our carriage of the morning took us back to the Piraeus about half-past nine. The night was most lovely, and the solemn effect of the Acropolis in the clear moonlight, with Hymettus in the distance, more impressive than anything I had ever seen. Everything was still along the road, except at the halfway shed, where the same people appeared to have been lounging about since the morning. The water in the harbor was like glass, and the air so transparent, that the sharp outline of the vessels lying even at a considerable distance, was most remarkable. Amongst these was H. M. S. Sharpshooter, which will perhaps account for my hearing the air of “ Jim Crow ” played on a violin in the “ grogs- shop.” But beyond this absurdity, nothing broke the silence, and, before the quivering ripples that our boat produced had quite died away, I had gone down to my berth for the first time — the temperature being considerably lower than before; and, very tired with the day’s work, soon fell asleep.
SMYRNA
Five o’clock the next morning, the 29th, all the old noise began again — the same frightful riot, clanking of chains, bawling and stamping overhead, that appeared necessary to move the steamer—in the middle of which they shut down our hatchway, and threw a tarpaulin over it, which brought me from my berth in an instant.
I found we had taken in several deck passengers — chiefly Greeks. An Albanian family had encamped in the flat-boat upon deck. There was a young man and his wife, her brother, a very old woman, and a baby; and they had made a perfect nest of bedding, carpets, and baggage, in which they all huddled. There was a look of extreme misery and broken spirit about these poor people that was excessively painful. They did not appear to have anything more than a melon or two, and some coarse bread, for their stores; and they drank the tepid water from a tub on deck. Our little milliners took the baby under their care in the cabin, for which the mother — a mere girl herself—was most grateful. The conveyanoe was effected entirely by pantomime, for each was ignorant of the other’s language, and very prettily it was done. The family was bound to Smyrna, to pack figs—a wretched employment enough, I should imagine, but one which appeared to be worth the migration. The girl’s head was dressed in the manner I had seen most prevalent at Athens. First, she wore the common scarlet skull-cap, bound round with a yellow handker chief. Over this, again, her long black hair was wound, neatly plaited; and about it, but irregularly, were hung a few trifling coins, with holes bored in them. The effect altogether was novel and graceful.
Our course lay amongst many islands, none of them striking; and, indeed, some were bare stony hills, rising at once from the sea. We could only read to get through the day, for it was again too hot to talk, and no particularly exciting events occurred. The cabin-boy, to be sure, was found out in telling stories, and sentenced to have his hair cut close to his head, for a punishment, which was done by an amateur hand, in a fashion the most extraordinary ; and the cook, who had been six years with Cavaignae, and three with Changarnier, in Afriea, had a row with the com- missaire, or purser, because the passengers had complained of his fricassee de Poulet that morning, suggesting that it was made from the results of the preceding chief cabin dinner; and would not stand any more omelets. ’So he promised that special fowls should be reserved for the next dish, and that an artful compound of eggs and onions, which lie termed ceufs d la tripe, should supersede the omelettes; and thus harmony was restored, and the day wore lazily on rose festival tour.
Virginia and Pauline dressed and undressed the baby every half-hour, and made it a little coat, amidst a pitiless storm of badinage. The Marseilles brunette was lost in a volume of Alfred de Musset’s poetry. I did* not see what she was reading, but if congeniality had led her to reflect upon the Andalouse, her thoughts must have been more or less remarkable. Our phrenologist had fixed the American to a game of chess, played upon a little portable board, with card men that slipped into the squares, and were difficult to be distinguished; and the rest of the* folks sent the winged moments flying upon wreaths of cigar smoke, as they re-read old newspapers, or lay down in their berths. However, night came at last; and when we awoke the next morning at daybreak, we were informed that we were approaching Smyrna.

Sharpshooter, which will perhaps account for my hearing the air of “ Jim Crow ” played on a violin in the “ grogs- shop.” But beyond this absurdity, nothing broke the silence, and, before the quivering ripples that our boat produced had quite died away, I had gone down to my berth for the first time — the temperature being considerably lower than before; and, very tired with the day’s work, soon fell asleep.
SMYRNA
Five o’clock the next morning, the 29th, all the old noise began again — the same frightful riot, clanking of chains, bawling and stamping overhead, that appeared necessary to move the steamer—in the middle of which they shut down our hatchway, and threw a tarpaulin over it, which brought me from my berth in an instant.
I found we had taken in several deck passengers — chiefly Greeks. An Albanian family had encamped in the flat-boat upon deck. There was a young man and his wife, her brother, a very old woman, and a baby; and they had made a perfect nest of bedding, carpets, and baggage, in which they all huddled. There was a look of extreme misery and broken spirit about these poor people that was excessively painful. They did not appear to have anything more than a melon or two, and some coarse bread, for their stores; and they drank the tepid water from a tub on deck. Our little milliners took the baby under their care in the cabin, for which the mother — a mere girl herself—was most grateful. The conveyanoe was effected entirely by pantomime, for each was ignorant of the other’s language, and very prettily it was done. The family was bound to Smyrna, to pack figs—a wretched employment enough, I should imagine, but one which appeared to be worth the migration. The girl’s head was dressed in the manner I had seen most prevalent at Athens. First, she wore the common scarlet skull-cap, bound round with a yellow handker chief. Over this, again, her long black hair was wound, neatly plaited; and about it, but irregularly, were hung a few trifling coins, with holes bored in them. The effect altogether was novel and graceful.
Our course lay amongst many islands, none of them striking; and, indeed, some were bare stony hills, rising at once from the sea. We could only read to get through the day, for it was again too hot to talk, and no particularly exciting events occurred. The cabin-boy, to be sure, was found out in telling stories, and sentenced to have his hair cut close to his head, for a punishment, which was done by an amateur hand, in a fashion the most extraordinary ; and the cook, who had been six years with Cavaignae, and three with Changarnier, in Afriea, had a row with the com- missaire, or purser, because the passengers had complained of his fricassee de Poulet that morning, suggesting that it was made from the results of the preceding chief cabin dinner; and would not stand any more omelets. ’So he promised that special fowls should be reserved for the next dish, and that an artful compound of eggs and onions, which lie termed ceufs d la tripe, should supersede the omelettes; and thus harmony was restored, and the day wore lazily on rose festival tour.
Virginia and Pauline dressed and undressed the baby every half-hour, and made it a little coat, amidst a pitiless storm of badinage. The Marseilles brunette was lost in a volume of Alfred de Musset’s poetry. I did* not see what she was reading, but if congeniality had led her to reflect upon the Andalouse, her thoughts must have been more or less remarkable. Our phrenologist had fixed the American to a game of chess, played upon a little portable board, with card men that slipped into the squares, and were difficult to be distinguished; and the rest of the* folks sent the winged moments flying upon wreaths of cigar smoke, as they re-read old newspapers, or lay down in their berths. However, night came at last; and when we awoke the next morning at daybreak, we were informed that we were approaching Smyrna.
