Seasons 5 and 6 to be "The Silence of the Lambs" era

IGN: You mentioned the fourth season being the Red Dragon story. Do you think it’ll be 13 episodes a year? How do you see the whole thing going?

Fuller: Well, it’s absolutely 13 episodes a season. For me, Red Dragon is Season 4, and splitting the time over Season 5 and Season 6 would be the era of Silence of the Lambs -- we don’t have the rights to any of the characters that originate in Silence of the Lambs.

Red Dragon references

Opening Chapter of "Red Dragon":

Crawford: "That's not entirely true, Will. It's the way you think."

Will: "I think there's been a lot of bullshit about the way I think."

Crawford: "You made some jumps you never explained."

Will: "The evidence was there,"

Crawford: "Sure. Sure there was. Plenty of it - afterward. Before the collar there was so damn little we couldn't get probable cause to go in."

From Chapter 2
[Graham] woke in an hour, rigid and sweating, seeing the other pillow silhouetted against the bathroom light and it was Mrs. Leeds lying beside him bitten and torn, mirrored eyes and blood like the legs of spectacles over her temples and ears. He could not turn his head to face her. Brain screaming like a smoke alarm, he put his hand over there and touched dry cloth.
