    Richard Armitage is creepy as hell in this.
    Yet gorgeous.

    The show keeps doing this to me. It's very confusing

    Wow. That tiger scene. Wow.
    Quote Quoting Donald Glover
    I was actually just reading about Matt Damon and he’s like, ‘There’s a culture of outrage.’ I’m like, ‘Well, they have a reason to be outraged.’ I think it’s a lot of dudes just being scared. They’re like, ‘What if I did something and I didn’t realize it?’ I’m like, ‘Deal with it.’

    Yes, the tiger scene was...unexpectedly elegant (to quote Ms. Wesley).

    However, Will and Bedelia's cat-and-mouse, double entendre conversation piece was the highlight of the episode for me.

    Also, a final thought: man, Richard Armitage is fucking intense.

    This has been the strongest season so far. I mean, this is freaking great television.

    I haven't processed my grief from the cancellation. It's too horrible.

    He's crazy hot, too. I've had a major crush on him from North & South, which is one of my comfort-watches when I'm blue.

    I'm getting tired of saying...Best. Episode. Ever.

    Richard Armitage downright rules the second half of this final season.

    This show has always been good, but this season is just phenomenal. It's gorgeous, dream-like, intense, and thought-provoking.

    Mara, have you looked at any of the pre-air reviews at IMDb for tonight's episode? By all accounts, it's going to be FANTASTIC.

    I approach tonight's series finale with mixed emotions -- definitely thankful that NBC had the guts to air it for three seasons, and I'm really excited for tonight's capper. So sad, though, that it ended prematurely -- I will really miss this show. Let's see if it goes out with a bang tonight. The next season was supposed to be a reimagining of the Silence of the Lambs storyline. Too bad Netflix or HBO didn't show interest in continuing it.

    Cheers to one of the truly outstanding television series of recent memory.

    Guys seriously that is how you end a TV show. That was gorgeous.

    While there will likely be debates as to which season is the best (even with Season 3's flaw(s) and flawed approach of trying to shoehorn two of Harris's novels into a single season), it's this final season that will probably resonate best with me because it not only remains true to Bryan Fuller's vision, it's the one that leads to such a logical conclusion (even down to the Sherlock Holmes nod). Despite the ever-increasing jettisoning of real world logic this season, it brought it all home in a moving, and frankly, gorgeous finale that was -- for lack of a better adjective -- pretty much perfect. A thing of beauty.

    The best trick Hannibal ever played was convincing NBC that it was a show about serial killers...

    This is cool.

    Quote Quoting Bryan Fuller
    [Hannibal composer] Brian Reitzell knew I am a huge Siouxsie Sioux fan and have seen her in concert more times than any other artist in my life. We knew that she was a fan of the show, and we reached out to see if she'd be interested in writing a song. Essentially, she hasn't had a single in eight years, and she said she hadn't been inspired to write in a long time, but that Hannibal had inspired her and she would write a new song. It was an incredible honor. I told her it should be a love song between Will and Hannibal. She came back with this wonderful Bond theme of a ditty, and I just said that has to go over the finale. It was pitch-perfect.

    Then it became the battle over... how do we pay for it? We didn't have any money left in the budget, and the studio wasn't going to put any more money into the show than they already had. I went to NBC and Sky, who are our American and U.K. broadcasters and said, "I know the show is canceled... and it's absolutely unheard of for a showrunner to come back to you and ask for more money for a show that has no further revenue potential for you. But it's Siouxsie Sioux and it's an honor and it's her first single in eight years." They both said, "Yes, absolutely, we'll split it right down the middle, and we're doing this because we love you, we love the show, and we love Siouxsie."

    Hannibal Clothes/Prop Auction

    Very reasonable asking bids for #'s 772 & 905.

    #1259? Not so much. (Gillian Anderson's size 4 navy blue gown and earrings that she wore in her final "dinner" scene)

    Watched seasons 1 and 2 about 5 years ago, and by the time I acquired 3 too much time had passed and I didn't want to watch it without rewatching the whole series.

    Did seasons 1 and 2 over the last couple of weeks, and watched the first 2 episodes of season 3 last night.

    This show is magnificent.

    I mean, it has a few flaws particularly in characterization that bug me, but not enough to even come close to spoiling the experience.

    I stopped watching when Crawford lets Hannibal get away a second time. Also, it didn't make sense that he had the upper hand in the fight when they were previously shown to be equals. It all felt contrived like many other parts of season 3. More like the last straw for me but I may attempt to finish it later this year.
