SLIGHT SPOILER w/r/t a character who hasnt been seen yet - only in that there's an image of them that iirc was in the trailers, but just figured i'd attach the warning

I am not sure about the Eddie Izzard inner dinner party debate sequences. It's an interesting way to illustrate what Hannibal asked Bedelia about her anticipation of others' emotions and actions, but I hope it's not ongoing. Not that it could be, as he was about spent as far as limbs go.

i think it was to emphasize how much hannibal craves an audience
― dellevadova depression beard (slothroprhymes), Friday, June 5, 2015 11:31 PM (Yesterday) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink
and how much he wants that audience to be Will. Bedelia's a distraction and she knows it. (In Bryan Fuller-speak, Hannibal wants his murder husband, not murder wife.)
I did like how Eddie Izzard had one less limb every time they cut to a new flashback/hallucination scene.
― Roz, Friday, 5 June 2015 21:44 (eight years ago) link
Wasn't it implied before that Hannibal was the one who killed Zach Quinto's character? And that at some point, he made Bedelia believe that she was the one who did it, in the same way he made Will think he killed Abigail?
― Roz, Friday, 5 June 2015 21:45 (eight years ago) link
yes.

Ohhhhhh I had missed that.
I feel like I need to rewatch previous seasons but I don't know if I can handle it.

i would love to rewatch this whole thing sometime soon. maybe when it wraps.no word on a season four yet right?

snails on the hand was maybe the most beautifully nauseating thing I have seen
― difficult-difficult lemon-difficult (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 6 June 2015 00:29 (eight years ago) link
i like that the show's aesthetics are similarly nihilistic or amoral as hannibal's - treating blood, death, snails feasting on hands w/ the same lavish attention as champagne, the duomo, a faucet. and those totems that blur the lines - the dante illustrations, the museum-displayed torture items, the upside down rabbit in the meat shop
― Mordy, Saturday, 6 June 2015 00:35 (eight years ago) link
oh man that lucifer slide over hannibal's faceno other show on television is as well filmed, no other show is even close
― like a giraffe of nah (forksclovetofu), Saturday, 6 June 2015 00:45 (eight years ago) link
omg yes the rabbit
so much of the show's aesthetic to food & flesh reminds me of the 17th (?) century Vanitas paintings, skulls and rotting fruit in lush detail

The graphicness of the cooking is a turn off to me. I wish they could manage some subtlety.

not sure if the hide-and-seek scene was necessary but it provided some good dramatic tension
I will be downloading a copy of this episode this weekend due to the fact we had storms in my area and the local television station helpfully had the storm alert banner at the bottom of the screen for the ENTIRE EPISODE
― Upright Mammal (mh), Friday, 12 June 2015 14:00 (eight years ago) link
is it just me or was that episode even more gruesome than usual? so much squick
also replaying the scenes from last season's finale is some kind of sadistic storytelling
― Roz, Friday, 12 June 2015 22:08 (eight years ago) link
I wanted to believe in living Abigail
― Upright Mammal (mh), Friday, 12 June 2015 23:18 (eight years ago) link
I felt something was up when Will woke up in hospital. Hospital rooms don't look like that!!
― tokyo rosemary, Saturday, 13 June 2015 00:00 (eight years ago) link
I missed this because I had some kind of 24 hr stomach bug and there was just no way.
― from batman to balloon dog (carl agatha), Saturday, 13 June 2015 00:52 (eight years ago) link
wise choice there, this episode was pretty much nightmare fuel from start to finish
― Roz, Saturday, 13 June 2015 01:05 (eight years ago) link
lol tbf there are never any rooms in Hannibal that look like regular places.
Thought it was weird that the priest looked at Abigail in the church. Though maybe he was looking at Will?
I think he was looking at will talking to himself
the heart-leg-cronenbergian thing: aaaaaaaaauuugggghhhhh
― slothroprhymes, Saturday, 13 June 2015 12:39 (eight years ago) link
The priest was looking at Abigail and she was looking back. The brief allusion to Don Giovanni at the end of the episode, the constant talk of God and other worlds, makes it clear that Abigail was really there, but (and this is a wild oversimplification) as an angel or ghost. They seek vengeance, ya know.

I just watched the season premiere -- twice, to figure out what was going on. Some of it was intentionally confusing, I think: they only call Dr. Fell "Roman" in the first scene and then they don't explicitly show his death.
There were five time periods and besides the Izzard scenes I initially had a hard time telling between them:RIP Zachary QuintoEddie Izzard eats himself.In France, Hannibal meets Dimmond and kills Mr. & Mrs. Fell offscreen.In the US, Bedelia meets Hannibal in her house.In Italy, Hannibal poses as Fell and kills Dimmond.
Hannibal also kills a curator which isn't seen. I don't know what was up with Bedelia buying stuff and being taped.
I hope they keep this up. Great sound in this episode too.
― aaaaablnnn (abanana), Friday, 19 June 2015 14:09 (eight years ago) link
Hannibal washing Bedelia's hair was practically an ASMR video.
― tokyo rosemary, Saturday, 20 June 2015 00:09 (eight years ago) link
it would be interesting to do a re-watch now that this show has gotten so impressionistic and dreamlike and everyone talks to riddles. it was so much more of your standard "dark and gritty" procedural in the beginning (like "this is my design" was the closest anyone got to cryptic dialogue lol).
and i kind of miss the more down-to-earth characters like the two comic relief FBI forensic guys. I still like where Hannibal is going but those two feel like they belong to a totally different show now.
― Roz, Saturday, 20 June 2015 01:34 (eight years ago) link
*talks IN riddles, though 'to' works just as well for this show
― Roz, Saturday, 20 June 2015 01:35 (eight years ago) link
yeah i just binge watched the first two seasons in the last month to get caught up, so the contrast with the new episodes is a little jarring. i do get the feeling that the mood so far is not necessarily going to hold for all of season 3 as the plot shifts and picks back up on some threads from last year.
― some dude, Saturday, 20 June 2015 04:18 (eight years ago) link
does the firefly have its own diegetic derivation or is it it a moth reference from the hannibal multiverse?
given what i said upthread i figure the cannibalism discussion between hannibal and gideon (faux-lecter) not only explicitly is abt hannibal eating gideon but implicitly abt the hannibal show slicing off chunks from the canon and refashioning such in its own way.
― slugbuggy, Saturday, 20 June 2015 06:47 (eight years ago) link
like it doesn't just replicate, it modifies and recontextualizes whole chunks of lore and makes it tastier.
― slugbuggy, Saturday, 20 June 2015 06:51 (eight years ago) link
i know this is just fan theory, but i did that schtick abt alana wearing will's shirt after sexing and the macbeth quote about can't undo what is did and the show subsequently did both in altered fashion. it knows we're watching, and wants us to know it knows.
― slugbuggy, Saturday, 20 June 2015 06:57 (eight years ago) link
hannibal is sort of a dick in that he knows he's a copy. he just thinks he's an improvement on the previous versions.
― slugbuggy, Saturday, 20 June 2015 07:32 (eight years ago) link
and makes it eat itself. keanu whoa.
― slugbuggy, Saturday, 20 June 2015 07:41 (eight years ago) link
he knows i'm onto him. my only hope is that i got enough insight to not be eaten, just yet.
― slugbuggy, Saturday, 20 June 2015 07:57 (eight years ago) link

― ♛ LIL UNIT ♛ (thomp), Saturday, 20 June 2015 11:31 (eight years ago) link
