Re: Anyone seen the Hannibal finale? [spoilers obviously]
(Anonymous) 2015-08-29 04:47 am (UTC)(link)I haven't read the books either, but I've seen the movies, and I know the differences between the Hannibal movie and the Hannibal book (which sounds like complete crack) regarding Clarice's story ending.
I'm with you on this; I like the ending as is. Seeing evil!Will WOULD be quite fascinating, but at the same time I like how open-ended the finale was.
It's amazing how much it felt like a series finale. Fuller has said (probably based on his other TV experience, lol) that he's written each season so that the finale could work as a series finale if they didn't get renewed, but I never felt this sense of completion with S1 or S2 finales. I really don't need any more. Sure, seeing how they got from the cliff to calling on Bedelia would be interesting, but it didn't leave me with all the questions that the S2 finale did, for instance. Or the S1 finale, where I was desperate to see where it went from there.
Plus, she might know how to cook, but we don't know if she has that kind of skill.
Few people do, that aren't chefs by profession. When Hannibal cooks, it's an event! :)
And for her to go to all that trouble to escape Hannibal earlier in the season, and hell, for her to freak out earlier in the episode at the thought of Hannibal coming for her...it just doesn't add up.
This, basically. She was pissed and terrified when Will told her of the plan of letting Hannibal escape. It makes no sense for her to do this to herself, and I don't think she physically or practically could.
I know some people are super upset at the thought of Will going dark-side, but Will has been on this path for a long time. There's def been hints, he's just now crossing the finish line, lol.
Despite all of the dark hints this season, I really never expected this. Every time Will seemed about to come around to Hannibal's view, or seem like he regretted not leaving with Hannibal in S2, it was followed up with him attempting to murder Hannibal. So I was kind of like, 'he's acting dark, but he can't quite seem to get there.' Well, he finally got there. I said before the finale that it would be great if at some hypothetical point in the future seasons we'll never get, that Will should get Clarice's ending, because it would be coming full circle. I never expected that THIS season would end like that, but I'm thrilled that it did.
Re: Anyone seen the Hannibal finale? [spoilers obviously]
I checked the tumblr tag again this morning and so many people are still on the “Bedelia did this to herself" train. Idgi. Even if she assumed Hannibal was coming for her and wanted to attempt to placate him by offering him her leg, I don't think it's possible. How would she know when he was coming? What if she cut her leg off and Hannibal showed up a month later? Her meat wouldn't stay good for that long... She would have to sacrifice something else. As unlikely as surviving the fall seems it still seems more plausible to me than that theory.
I can see why you would feel that way, because Will flirted with darkness for a long time but ultimately didn't want to let it get the best of him. I wasn't entirely sure how the season would end, but after hearing Brian's comments about next season I assumed this MIGHT happen. Had Will simply tried to shank Hannibal again it would've been repetitive and disappointing, lol. I'm glad the show didn't “play it safe".

(Anonymous) 2015-08-29 08:45 pm (UTC)(link)This felt final in a way the others episodes didn't, and left me with a clear picture of Hannibal and Will's fucked up future.
It did feel final (because of the 'end of a journey' aspect), and at the same time felt very open ended. Will has embraced the darkness and joined Hannibal, but without further seasons, I'm free to imagine whatever reign of elegant terror I want for them.

Yeah, I don't know. I never would have even considered that as a possibility from viewing the scene. It doesn't make sense on so many levels. And I don't think 'she went crazy and that's why she did it even if it doesn't make sense' really works, either. If living with Hannibal for eight months didn't drive her to madness, I don't think she's going to fall into it three years later just because he escapes.
And yeah, surviving the fall is unlikely, but this show does that, and obviously if there were a S4, this was still going to be the finale, so in that case, they would have had to survive. But I don't know how to read that last scene in any other way than that they did survive and had come for her. If they had just gone over the cliff, the end, it would be more debatable.
Re: Anyone seen the Hannibal finale? [spoilers obviously]
I've never experienced this fandom's fic, but this is exactly what I want from it. I'm afraid I'm going to end up disappointed when I look because I've heard there's an alarmingly large amount of fluff for a fandom with such a dark nature, and I want excellent fic that's as fucked up as the show itself.
If living with Hannibal for eight months didn't drive her to madness, I don't think she's going to fall into it three years later just because he escapes.
Good point! I suppose one might say that since she lived with Hannibal for so long she knows exactly what he's capable of and the certainty of knowing he would come for her was too much, but again, I don't buy it.
