Well, this feels awkward.

New episode today:

Next week's episode is

Spoiler

"The Great Red Dragon" (Directed by Neil Marshall)

.

This is just wrong.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Man, so happy I downloaded that episode earlier.

That was like a mini season finale.

The Next episode is probably going to feel like a Season Premiere

 

[Guesong]

Canada represent!

It was a fantastic episode. But I don't quite follow something...

Spoiler

By what leap of logic does Hannibal goes from *Well, let's open up Will's brain and eat him!* because Will wanted to kill him to *Will I want you to always know where I am and am turning myself in*. It's not like anything significant happened between them at Muskrat Farm other than an Alana-sponsored rescue/request.

But as I said, fantastic episode. But I'm having trouble following Hannibal's thoughts here.

I think the change came when

Spoiler

Will basically rejected him. It stopped being about forgiveness, because they had both done (or attempted to do) awful things to one another. Not only could they possibly be "even", but Will saying "I don't ever want to see you again" possibly

changed his perspective.

I think another very important detail came out: Hannibal

Spoiler

ate Mischa but he did not kill her.

I'm actually about to rewatch it. That push-in shot when Hannibal

Spoiler

gets free and Reitzel's synthy score is on blast=amazing. Plus Hannibal is smiling.

This episode had two extremely good

Spoiler

fakeouts

for me:

Spoiler

Jack about to be lobotomized and Will's face being cut off. I was literally yelling at my TV "No! No way! No way Jack goes out like this!" I thought Fuller would do it.

When the

Spoiler

Face/Off scene began and you see SOMEONE having his face cut off and peeled away, I was thinking "What the fuck? HOW IS WILL GOING TO SURVIVE THIS?!"

Also, I don't think the

Spoiler

whole face-escape

necessarily means that Fuller was planning on never doing SotL. It's such a little detail, really no more different than

Spoiler

fake Freddy Lounds on fire "ahead of schedule".

EDIT: ALSO, regarding your question: Alana

Spoiler

makes Hannibal promise to get Will out alive. That itself should be enough for his change of heart, but MAYBE he also realizes that, despite what Will says, he will always come looking for him...so the best way to keep Will alive is to turn himself in. Maybe.

"Could I have ever understood you?"
"...no."

^ one of my new favorite little moments. Right below "I believe you..." from S2.

 

[Goodstyle]

Possibly the best episode in the series. The

Spoiler

pig surrogacy

was... wow. Jaw actually dropped.

Alana is dumb as a rock.

Spoiler

how do you not just kill Mason, the guy in the wheelchair, and do what you will with Hannibal, instead of letting the most dangerous man ever who promised to kill you go so he can help you

Spoiler

They'd be caught for it if they did. The whole point of freeing Hannibal was to take out the guards and have him absorb the blame for what happens to Verger. Leaving the gun with Mason was dumb though.

 

[Anton Sugar]

I absolutely love Mads performance during the

Spoiler

dinner scene. His amusement at all of Mason's plans is fucking perfect.

And then Will

Spoiler

bites off a part of Cordell's face. It's ridiculous but I believe it.

Also, how good is Cordell? Dude is a joy to watch.

 

[Moff]

yeah, cordell

Spoiler

was fantastic, the surprise effect of mason wearing his face was good, but I would have loved to see the confrontation between him and hannibal. they felt like they were on the same level.

 

[dead souls]

You can not give a shit and still not do dumb things with scheduling.

Last week's Hannibal: 0.4 demo. This week's Dateline episode: 1.1 demo.

What did NBC do that was stupid?

We're lucky they just haven't pulled the show entirely.

I'm venting because the schedule change is going to make it harder for me to keep up with my favorite NeoGAF thread.

Gives new meaning to the yellow king's

Spoiler

"Take off your mask"

:lol

 

[~Kinggi~]

I fucking hate this thread now.

 

[Wiktor]

Damn..such a great end to this arc. But jeez...Hannibal really can't take no for the answer I'm actually glad they never got Silence rights. Because to have Hannibal form such a strong bond with somebody else would feel pretty weird.

It would make more sense if

Spoiler

Will dies. Hannibal would be alone again

.

 

[blueteainfusion]

Even then,

Spoiler

I'd still feel like he'd be betraying Will. It's the shipper's heart, can't help it. (And I love Bedelia/Hannibal! Just... as a rebound for Hannibal)

 

[Sai-kun]

Holy shit. I don't even know what to say about this episode. What a fucking ride.

 

[mariachi507]

Tonight is the night! It's going to be amazing, I can feel it in my gut. The glowing impressions help as well.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

whoaaaaaa that episode was crazy. I need more!

The ending of the episode was absolute perfection.

 

[bebop242]

Any idea if the new episode will be available for streaming via NBC.com or Amazon tomorrow? Do they add new content on Sundays?

 

[_Ryo_]

Is Hannibal airing tonight? Didn't they say it moved to Saturdays effective immediately?

Saturdays from now on in the US, still Thursdays elsewhere.

Saturdays from now on in the US, still Thursdays elsewhere.

I see.
Thanks.

 

[VistraNorrez]

Should be on Hulu tomorrow as well.

 

[Kuroyume]

It begins!

CHIYOH!!!!!

 

[Spike Spiegel]

Oh, thank you Chiyo. Maybe...

 

[Hypemaster]

Stop complimenting Hannibal.

 

[Monocle]

Stop complimenting Hannibal.

Hannibal is a good man with nice hair and frankly I don't understand why everyone's so down on him all the time.

 

[Kuroyume]

This penis talk, lol

Love Mason

 

[Hypemaster]

Hannibal is a good man with nice hair and frankly I don't understand why everyone's so down on him all the time.

He gets complimented enough as is.

 

[Kuroyume]

Will! Awsome, lol

The smile on Hannibal's face

 

[Hypemaster]

Gross!

 

[-griffy-]

Will is a follower of McGruff the Crime Dog.

 

[metalslimer]

Can we declare now this recast was actually a net positive?

 

[Kuroyume]

Can we declare now this recast was actually a net positive?

Yes. I actually prefer him.

 

[Leona Lewis]

Can we declare now this recast was actually a net positive?

I agree wholeheartedly.

Pitt's Mason was a bit incongruous with the droll, almost serenely self-aware tone struck by the rest of the characters.

 

[D4Danger]

Can we declare now this recast was actually a net positive?

absolutely. those eyebrows.

 

[Hypemaster]

So evil.

 

[Kuroyume]

The shot of Hannibal with the Hammer.... Oh yeah

That pig surrogate... HOLY FUCK

 

[Spike Spiegel]

Yeah, Mason's just a liiiiiiiittle touched.

EDIT: Will just can't catch a break, guy's face is gonna look like a roadmap when the show is over.

 

[metalslimer]

Wow at this episode

 

[Einchy]

Yeah, Mason's just a liiiiiiiittle touched.

EDIT: Will just can't catch a break, guy's face is gonna look like a roadmap when the show is over.

Will by the end of season 3.

 

[Hypemaster]

Oh shit they are taking this approach.

 

[Leona Lewis]

That was...

...that was some CG.

 

[metalslimer]

Just when I thought I had accepted this shows cancellation

 

[Kuroyume]

Holy fuck yes! The cattle prod! The eel! They actually did it. LOL

I guess after the pig surrogate I shouldn't be surprised anymore

 

[Spike Spiegel]

I guess that was the breakup.

 

[metalslimer]

Amazing episode. The red Dragon arc is going to be incredible I guess is a good place to go out on.

 

[Kuroyume]

Well, that fucking delivered. Loved everything about it. Mason and Cordell's insanity and cruelty towards everyone. How I rooted for a cannibal to be the hero. Margot and Alana's revenge. Chiyo being awesome. Everything about it was so fucking great.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

Agreed.

I actually like Chiyoh-san as well.

 

[kirblar]

Hannibal turning himself in simply to troll the hell out of Will. Amazing.

 

[Opto]

Wow that montage of surgery. Fucking damn.

Spoiler

I wonder what Chiyo's crosshairs on Hannibal meant? She wanted him to be captured? She said "some beats shouldn't be caged" but I guess that was a lie, hah
