At 28 minutes it really sounds like Suicide, the minimalist electronic/punk band.

Compare it to one of their songs...

There was also some Goblin-esque Italian prog-rock stuff. Great music.

What does Hannibal say when Bedelia asks him about his young self? Something about Mephistopheles... something about being contemptuous?

...except Hannibal was still trying to be his friend the whole time.

I don't think so. The more I see of this season the more I think of the short story Ethan Brand that's often invoked as inspiration by David Milch. It's about a man who goes in search of "the unpardonable sin" and discovers that it's the violation of the sanctity of another person's heart.

I think that's all Hannibal is doing. He's completely evil. it's fantastic.

Was I alone in thinking the new Mason was Kevin Bacon?

The finger wagging joke is the best line of the season so far.

I clicked through on one of those Daredevil videos and was legitimately shocked to discover Charlie Cox was English, just because of his performance in Boardwalk Empire. As someone from Belfast, and knowing how impossible a Northern Irish accent can be to portray, I always thought he was one of us.

As for Red Dragon chat, I'm interested as to how they'll finish this season. I recently read the Red Dragon book and I've watched both movies in the last couple of weeks and I actually think the Red Dragon movie had the best conclusion of all of them.

As indifferently directed as it was, the idea of Will using Francis' childhood trauma against him to protect his own adopted son is much more interesting than the ending of either the book or Manhunter.

I'm also curious about how they'll the adapt the big eureka moment, given how in the books it was dependant on the use of technology that doesn't exist at all any more.

Bedelia wasn't trying to kill him, she reached too far back into his throat and got her fingers caught in an involuntary swallow reflex. That's why she said that sometimes it's sometimes better to crush someone in need of help - it was a very obscufated pun.


Look at her face in that scene. She may have been trying to help him when she put her hand in his mouth, but there's clearly a moment where she decides to turn him inside out.

As I might have said before in the thread, the only suitable ending for the show is for Hannibal to get lobotomised. It's the only ending I can imagine that character being genuinely afraid of.

Hannibal and Will are dead, unless the show gets unexpectedly saved by Starz or something.

Even in the Hannibal universe there's no conceivable way either of them could have survived. The only person who could would be Chilton, and even then only as like, a head in a jar.

I think the finale was fantastic, even without taking into account the reduced circumstances of the show.

Given how the show chopped up bits of Red Dragon and Hannibal from the first episode, if they ever did Silence of the Lambs it would have to be a pretty straight adaptation and they'd be up against one of the best novel adaptations ever. I'm happy enough for the show to end here.
