FourLeaf posted:Source? It's mentioned on sites like Hollywood Reporter and Den of Geek. Fuller's talked about not liking how the books treated Margot and wanting to rehabilitate her sexuality before. Then again I haven't seen the episode yet so it could all be complete misdirection that I fell for like a chump.

I thought it was a bad episode. Having not watched in a year I was pretty confused with all the jumping around in time. Especially because the Abe stuff was B&W but the Scully stuff was Color. Also the sound editing was a mess. A lot of the dialog was hard to discern. :/ Best part of ep, IMO:

West coast feed just ended and Hannibal the movie just started on Cinemax. I feel it was very confusing for a reason. Last season started with the kitchen fight, so it wrapped around from beginning to end. The flashbacks in this episode were shown in a different aspect ratio than present day, but the Eddie Izzard scene which opened the episode was not only in the same aspect ratio, but it was also black and white, it breaks script from a scene we've already seen and lead into Hannibal addressing the audience, breaking the 4th wall, which the show has never done. I think the black and white Izzard scenes are in Hannibal's mind palace, where he can relive past dinner/conversations with said dinner. Why is he in his mind palace? The opening is him reflecting back on the season with his dinner guest. Also, if you remember in Hannibal, they figure out he's in Italy via surveillance cameras at a really high end perfume store. Could be they're playing with the motif a little and may have someone recognize Bedelia in the cameras instead of Hannibal. ruddiger fucked around with this message at 06:31 on Jun 5, 2015 |

ruddiger posted:West coast feed just ended and Hannibal the movie just started on Cinemax. I was wondering if that difference in flashback format may indeed be the beginnings of differentiating and introducing the mind palace. Been looking forward to how Fuller portrays that the most, so I hope we're right and this means we're just diving into that.

Someone on twitter pointed out that the murder tableau, being a giant heart impaled on three crossed swords, is almost certainly is a reference to the tarot card the Three of Swords. ![]() "This card depicts a pure piercing sorrow of the mind. The sorrow must be felt and experienced for closure and relief to come [...] one of the most negative cards in the entire deck." "feeling heartbreak, being disappointed, receiving little solace, being separated, wandering far from home, finding your trust misplaced, getting stabbed in the back" ...god, Hannibal, you emo little bitch

Previous dinner, Abel still had one leg. Dinner was Abel's left leg, served as roti de cuisse. This time, it's Abel's right leg, served smoked on skewers with a glaze. The skewers were hilarious. It was like Hannibal put party hats and little flags on Abel's leg so that it could go "ta-da!" when he lifted the lid.

FourLeaf posted:I seriously need to figure out what instrument it is that popped up a few times, like in the wine scene... I think an organ, but sometimes it sounds electronic like a synthesizer? Definitely an old electronic organ, if you mean the wine-buying scene when Bedelia wears her blue hat. It even has the electric rhythm section as she crosses the plaza and nods at the cop. Electric organs had like a built-in non-programmable drum machine with a dozen or so different pre-set rhythms (bossanova, waltz, disco etc), so you could be a one-man band. Stereolab uses them a lot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxWp-bdw4Nk (Skip to 23:34)

That dude's torso could not have possibly been this big. He was a skinny nerd.

Goddamnit, I love this show. Never stop making new episodes, Bryan Fuller. Go to Netflix or pay cable if you have to.

Riled Shareef posted:Hey, one question - what was up with Bedelia going to the shop and sitting at the train station with the security cameras? Is she in cahoots with the FBI!? Or was she just... fantasizing about leaving? My first thought was Verger but after reading this thread I agree it seems far more likely that she was just leaving bread crumbs.

That's the kind of premiere you make when you know your show is cancellation-proof daaaamn

This show is unbelievably good and somehow keeps getting better.

Episode was not bad, not by any metric. We're just in Hannibal (the book/movie) territory and that story was the (second) worst out of Harris' books. The show will get a lot better in the second half I'm sure, but it's still not bad now.

The third season premiere of Hannibal earned a series low matching 0.7 adults 18-49 rating. WE DID IT YOU GUYS!!
