Highly Unnecessary posted:I think the most disturbing thing in this episode was finding out Abigail's ear was cut off while she was still alive. Hannibal why "What I found of Abigail was cut off while her heart was still beating." This honestly surprised me, too. I thought Hannibal would have let her die first given his almost paternal relationship with her. But it seems, like all his other victims, he had to mutilate her first  Also Will's lawyer is the best new character I've seen in ages  I can't believe this is only episode 3!

No More Toast posted:I just noticed this tweet by Fuller. To me the hoofbeats sounded almost like high heel shoes. Alana has been an unknown quantity since the start - if you believe the colour logic people have been applying to her choices of clothing. In the final scene, when she was speaking with Will in the glass cage, things were getting very deep and certainly seemed like the show was throwing out hints. Will, referring to the killer, said, "He's going to reach out to me." Thirty seconds later Alana and Will were holding hands. Alana: What does he (the killer) want? Will: He wants to know me. What do you want? Alana: I want to save you. Though how she would have lifted the large bailiff onto the horns and impaled him is a bit of a leap. The Stag scene itself was very clear. Whoever the Stag represents wants Will to be free. Hannibal wants him in a cage. Desht posted:All that said, I really hope it isn't Jack. But he's also the only one that makes sense given what's been presented so far. If it IS Jack, then that completely rewrites what we thought we saw in the very first scene of this season. What if it wasn't "Jack knows about Hannibal" but "Jack knows that Hannibal knows about Jack"? It explains why Jack went in there alone without backup, why he didn't try to call for help during the fight. It explains how Hannibal will continue to be able to be Hannibal in future seasons rather than being on the run for murdering a senior figure in the FBI. (edit: beaten)

zoux posted:I dunno. He was faced with a decision, flips a coin, which is cultural shorthand for making a difficult decision, It's also what you do with utterly trivial decisions. "What shall we get for lunch, Chinese of Mexican? I can't decide, let's flip a coin." Bella had poured her heart out to Hannibal and chose him to be the one there with her when she died. Think for a moment just how much thought and heatbreak went into her decision to take her own life. And she chose to do it in front of him. She made him the most important person in her world. Hannibal's coin flip served to show how utterly unimportant she was to him. A gesture of total contempt.

escape artist posted:It is the benchmark for terrible television. Like I said, even if the entire writing staff was malevolent, and their whole goal was to piss off viewers, they still couldn't have orchestrated a catastrophe so perfectly. It's fascinating. The absolutely best thing about Dexter was that the final season was just so utterly godawful that after a couple of episodes, when the shock of how bad it was had begun to wear off, goons stopped being bored by how stupid it was and started to get angry. The last half of the final season was some of the best TV I ever watched simply because we were all hate-watching it at that point. It was magical  Some kind of forcefield!

jscolon2.0 posted:That was what she was in the middle of doing, when she got caught. Took some organ meat out of the fridge, some blood dripped into the basement, went into the basement and then I think she actually knocked over some wine. The meat samples were vacuum sealed in little plastic baggies.

I loved the symbolism of Will in the cage with the Stag's horns growing out from his back and bursting right through the bars of the cage above his head. They showed his power, his ability to reach beyond his imprisonment and come within an inch of killing Hannibal. He took the darkness that had haunted him all through the first season and embraced it. Owned it. Then Hannibal comes in and slaps him down with that comment about Alana. After he leaves, Will looks up at the roof of the cage and his horns are all gone now. The cage, unbroken.

Earl of Lavender posted:It was a hydraulic hat. And the show made a point of never actually showing it in anything more than silhouette or split second action shots. God, some people here are acting like the guy spent the show stomping around like a mech, shooting fire out of his arse. Everything about this show centres on one theme - transformation. All the serial killers have it as their motif and it's what Will has been doing before our eyes since day one. This guy wearing a big old bear skull hat powered by pneumatics and some wolf-themed Freddy Kruger gloves is no more over the top than bee skull or the mushroom diabetics. He also reminded me of Better Off Ted's season 2 opener where Linda meets a guy she thinks is cool until she finds out he likes to dress up as a bear. quote:Greg: I have my own little way of acting out. I spent the episode pretending the killer was Greg and it really made things a lot more fun. Woot, found a clip on youtube. Sorry for the lovely quality but apparently taping your TV screen is the only way to stop clips from being taken down  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8BWKRBWG48 Megillah Gorilla fucked around with this message at 09:17 on Apr 28, 2014 |
