Hey, I just saw Agent Hannibal get his rear end get kicked by Morpheus, I don't care, 100% satisfied.

PassTheRemote posted:Onje detail I missed while watching initally that I saw upon rewatch, Jack removed his shoes before fighting Hannibal. It's how he got the jump on Hannibal. It's a very smart move. I believe that's how Hannibal snuck up on Will and gutted him in the books.

Modest Proportion posted:If you're feeling really let down, disappointed or bored by the show right now, you really haven't been paying attention to the show so far. Then the parts where you do get the sense of something actually happening (Alana teaming up with Verger, Jack going to Italy, the introduction of Chiyoh) feel oddly bland in comparison to the vaguely mystical scenes with Hannibal and/or Will. Because those scenes were so stretched out the other stuff even seems rushed. My favourite scenes have been those revolving around Jack and I feel they are much more in tune with the earlier seasons. And it will also be interesting to see if and how Hannibal will change after his defeat. If Will had died after being pushed of the train I wouldn't have cared.

I don't think anyone will become Clarice or is intended to be. Clarice works because she only meets Hannibal when he is imprisoned, it wouldn't work at all with a pre-existing relationship.

Clarice is too great a character to replace with anyone else like Alana. I'm not entirely sure how they'd manage to flip the show to focus on her instead of Will in Silence, too, either. It'd probably feel like a CSI: Miami version of the show. I don't think Jodie Foster is a hard Clarice to beat, but the character requires a good actress to work, so it's something you could easily screw up.

And then the Kubrick homage, and Hannibal looking terrified and seeing his tricks aren't worth poo poo and just getting pummeled, the complete break from the dreamlike atmosphere, that was so good. I don't care, just make the rest of the season a montage of Jack beating the poo poo out of Hannibal, works for me.

The Will parts of this last episode were really terrible with awful, stilted dialogue.

counterpoint: Will's segments are delightfully gross and weird, and therefore amazing. Hmmmmmm check and mate

It is difficult to convince people to let you smell their feet for research. However, I do know that bad smells travel at about 3 mph through the air, so if you can walk faster than that you can sneak up on somebody before they smell you. It's the same principle by which supersonic fighter jets sneak up on targets

Will has never really been that likeable. In the first season he was kind of awkward and rude or crying, in season two he was bitter and creepy, this season he's totally mental. I'm glad they're giving him some more meatier stuff to do besides re-enact murders and be snotty to someone making a suggestion. Plus things like slow motion train backflip matches slow motion running with dog and shotgun through snow, I find him entertaining. Jack is the closest thing to a hero the show has, Will isn't really an antihero even. Just bizarre.

I love how darkly lit this show is aside from the fact I have to turn off every bit of lighting in the room to watch this show- between the volume and the lighting this show is basically interactive media.

I watch it on my cheat day with a massive plate of fried potatoes and eggs, very un-Hannibal.

edit: Wow, I do not remember making this post already. My memory is shot lately, my bad. I'm maybe halfway through the season. I think the Hannibal Lecter spoopy castle was a bit much, but then again this season seems to be all about being really crazy and out there. I'm not entirely sure if I'm enjoying it, but I'm drawn to watching it at least in one or two episode increments. Verisimilidude fucked around with this message at 02:56 on Jul 6, 2015 |

Each episode is a different country until the finale is him vs Putin in a frozen wasteland in one of those fights where you tie your front feet together and put your back foot against a knife and whale on each other till only one is left standing. Like this kinda

Despite (or because of) Hannibal's tastes being so refined, I can't see him eating the exact same truffles and drinking the exact same wine week after week no matter how top notch they are. I think it was Bedelia trying to be found. It also explains whey she went and sat in front of that camera for a while. She probably threw the stuff in the trash before she got home.

Nooooooo...all those white truffles I thought this episode was the best one in the season so far, but I also thought that this season will probably work a lot better when marathoned. Luckily, I'm one of those who don't care about how stilted or slow the dialogue is, and I'm satisfied from being transfixed watching Hugh Dancy's and Tao Okamoto's faces melt in and out of shadow for 3 minutes. (Although I did listen.) When Will says, "He comes in the guise of a mentor," that sounds exactly like someone describing the Devil. Speaking of, Mads' face in the scene where Pazzi brings him the scold's bridle looked strikingly inhuman. I think he's gained a little fullness in his face from age, but in that scene especially it made him look even more like he's some kind of iron or stone sculpture or mechanical being because he kept his features so still and cold. He just radiated power and menace without doing anything overt -- that's talent. I looked for a screencap of that moment and couldn't find one quickly, but I did find this and, here, EmmyOK, have some Will "Tremulous Gaze" Graham ![]() ![]() That's one thing I have always loved most about this show -- the stark difference in Mads' and Hugh's acting choices, Mads holding himself so still and composed while Hugh lets every tiny shift of emotion ripple across his face, and yet both of their faces are equally communicative. Thinking of that scene I mentioned with Will and Chiyo on the train, one of the reasons the stilted dialogue doesn't bother me is that I can glean everything I need from a scene by watching Hugh's face. Plus, I like the dialogue. v Let me also point out how rare and lovely it is to have a show that gives us scenes of a man and woman in bed, with the woman clothed up to the neck while the man is shirtless and lit and filmed like the camera is in love with him. That was nice. Thanks for that, Guillermo Navarro. Rabbit Hill fucked around with this message at 14:21 on Jul 6, 2015 |

Goodnight sweet Prince, at least we'll always have these three amazing seasons

Why would they pick it up? They're not going to be able to get the rights to use Silence from MGM so there's not much point.

Yeah if this were any deader at this point it'd already be eating itself at a party it's hosting in its own honor

Hannibal, a show on NBC, started season 2 with a guy waking up to find himself covered in farming preservatives and stitched into a mural made of dead people. I don't see why a similar Clarice show can't be on Lifetime.
