Chokes McGee posted:I have never rooted for two men to kiss harder than that last scene. I'm disappointed they didn't but their little embrace was way more Oh, I think it's great they didn't. Their connection has always seemed beyond sex, to me...sex would make it more mundane somehow. In some broadly philosophical way, bodies on this show seem so base...the idea of transforming or ascending into something greater is very recurrent as an idea. Sex seems similar, as if there's some greater truth or purity in surpassing it, at least where Hannibal is concerned. Hannibal only fucks what's beneath him, or preferably eats them. A true relationship between equals probably wouldn't look like anything familiar as sexual intimacy. If they'd kissed, it would undermine that, to me.

This is the guy I was talking about earlier, although I was wrong - Harris based Jack Crawford on this dude, while the show took him for Graham. Particularly the bout with viral encephalitis. hard counter posted:https://www.muckrock.com/news/archives/2015/sep/04/hannibal-fcc-complaints/ This is the best! Despite everything else the show ever depicted, the skin angels is still the one that makes me shudder. Gross!

I'm so glad that good programming doesn't exist on network TV anymore I just finished watching Narcos on Netflix (which is loving awesome). As soon as Netflix allows me to add local sports channels, I'm done having any sort of TV subscription. ex post facho fucked around with this message at 18:56 on Sep 6, 2015 |

There is some unfinished business from that old thread:Steve Yun posted:I'm willing to bet a $10 forums upgrade that Alana lives, and that she is the family that Hannibal sends the Tooth Fairy to kill.

Haha reading through the season 2 finale posts and I wonder how people are so insistent that Hannibal and Will could possibly survive the fall off the cliff if the show continues in some form. I mean for gently caress's sake everyone was pretty much dead at the end of that finale.

I mean for gently caress's sake everyone was pretty much dead at the end of that finale. Except that the show would have had a fourth season had it not been cancelled. So unless they were going to rename it The Crawford Files, that fall was intended to have at least one survivor. I liked the arc of the third season overall, but the Dolarhyde plot was better in Red Dragon even though its execution was so bland. And while Mads was utterly phenomenal, the escape in The Silence of the Lambs is still the definitive "holy poo poo, Lecter is terrifying" moment for me. But a great show. I'll miss it.

Nothing in season 3 tarnished what came before, though. I love that each season has its own distinct tone.

Season 2 was a massive dip and season 3 absolutely salvaged it. A million times better from start to finish. Season 1 was by far the best of the lot though. The most grounded and the most thoughtful.

I liked both season 1 and season 2 the same so it's weird seeing so many people hating on it for some reason. Season 3 felt uneven, it was mostly good but it felt like a "final season as the show's being cancelled". Which it was.

I enjoyed all the seasons. Felt like the weakest parts were the procedural aspects of season 1 and the very slow beginning episodes of 3. Though I did defend the latter, and do -- I thought they were great, just... marginally less so.

While Season 3 did take the SYMBOLISM up to 11 at times I pretty much liked everything up until the final Bedelia scene which felt like a pretty hacky way to turn what was a pretty appropriate ending to both Will, Hannibal, and the show in general just to turn it into a terrible sequel hook twist. If you want Will and Hannibal to live then write that. Still enjoyed pretty much all of it.

I was just thinking that the fun thing about a show like this is that if there WAS a season four, you could still have all the cast back even if characters were dead, because half the characters are insane enough that they could easily hold regular conversations with people who are long dead. I mean hell, Abigail could easily come back! For real though if the show never comes back, I'm satisfied. Season 3 was wonderful and ended on a fantastic note with the cliff scene, and the Bedelia stuff was just a nice final bit of weirdness/creepiness that will just leave people always wondering,"What if...?"

Season 3 had a lot of phenomenal moments/aspects that I loved, even though the overall arc and conclusion majorly disappointed me. Richard Armitage's performance, the (almost) perfect music, the crazy sex scenes, Hannibal being the epitome of  in prison, the Alana/Margot relationship, beautiful shots like Will with the red strings behind him; these were all wonderful. After thinking about it, I'm fine with the show ending here, since I think season 4 probably would have been worse than season 3 for multiple reasons.But who knows? Maybe they'll get a movie after all and I'll be proven wrong.

FourLeaf posted:the (almost) perfect music The music during the final scene was quite distracting. I'm trying to remember other series that nearly ruined big scenes by putting in a quirky song that the director always wanted to use. Battlestar Gallactica was one (a remake of All Along the Watchtower). And once or twice on the Walking Dead. The only other thing that comes to mind right now is the OC, but I know there are others.

There was that one time when Mad Men used a Decemberists song over a montage, and a lot of people found it incredibly jarring. It wasn't a super pivotal scene though.

All along the watchtower was a repeated theme throughout the season and was integrated way more organically. I'm kinda ehhh about Love Crime in the finale. It gave the scene a weird music video vibe.

Yup, even if you liked the song (and I heard a lot of "emo" complaints about it), it didn't match any other music in the show and was incredibly bizarre. E: The song could have been better integrated. Siouxsie and the Banshees and The Creatures have plenty of songs that fit Hannibal's tone perfectly. Using some of them in earlier episodes this season could have prepared us for the finale. FourLeaf fucked around with this message at 20:53 on Sep 8, 2015 |

Steve2911 posted:That is the appeal of the show. Well in season 2 Will couldn't even indirectly put Hannibal in harm's way without a guilt trip despite all that he suffered under him, Will still had a shred of relatable humanity in him. At some point this show became a character piece about people that have become such damaged goods that their actions seem... crazed, sometimes. Could be fun but there's a definite shift in tone that could lose people.

I honestly can't stand the final song. It completely took me out of the moment and all I could think was WHAT THE HELL IS THIS??? It particularly stands out because seasons 1 and 2 had perfect ending songs to go along with the rest of the season's OST. Neither of them were distracting/totally different from anything the show ever had before. Sorry show, you had me until the last 3 minutes Loved the image with Dolarhyde's wings that another goon screenshotted, though. Really gorgeous!

The Red Dragon episodes were some of the best TV I've seen. Hannibal is so much more fun when locked up, dropping sick burns instead of "I find trout to be a very Nietzchean fish".

Honestly, that's part of why I loved it so much. Not only was it a great song, but in the history of the show's soundtrack, right down to the placement at the time of it happening, it stood out. It was completely different from everything else. And that made it feel more like something unique was happening. Nothing more perfectly fit Will becoming what Hannibal said he always would: drastic character change/moment, drastic music change/moment.
