Hannibal -- "Mizumono" -- 5/23/14 SEASON FINALE
 

Renewed for a 3rd season.


"Oh God... I think the big thing to prepare yourself for is, you need to come to the finale as though you were attending a Gallagher concert. Wear your slickers because the blood is going to flow." - Bryan Fuller


I'm locking my doors, turning off the phone, the computer, the lights, the refrigerator - anything that may distract me from watching what I hope will be one kick ass finale.

Re: Hannibal -- "Mizumono" -- 5/23/14 SEASON FINALE
 

They can feel free to reshow that Hannibal / Jack fight scene in its entirety.

Re: Hannibal -- "Mizumono" -- 5/23/14 SEASON FINALE
 

After last week what else can possibly happen :lol:

Re: Hannibal -- "Mizumono" -- 5/23/14 SEASON FINALE
 

I almost kinda wish they didn't start the season with the fight. I hope the finale can live up to those two minutes we've seen.

Re: Hannibal -- "Mizumono" -- 5/23/14 SEASON FINALE
 

Goddammitt!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Hannibal -- "Mizumono" -- 5/23/14 SEASON FINALE
 

Hope everyone watched through the ending credits.

Re: Hannibal -- "Mizumono" -- 5/23/14 SEASON FINALE
 

Hoooooollllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyy shhhhhhhhhhhhiiiiiitttttttttttttt!

Re: Hannibal -- "Mizumono" -- 5/23/14 SEASON FINALE
 

Goddammit! I can't wait til next year!!!!

That was fucking awesome!

Re: Hannibal -- "Mizumono" -- 5/23/14 SEASON FINALE
 

100% accurate summation there.

Re: Hannibal -- "Mizumono" -- 5/23/14 SEASON FINALE
 

:lol: That pretty much sums it up.

Those last 15 minutes were insane (literally!).

What a great season of TV. So glad this was renewed. It's gonna be a long wait.

Re: Hannibal -- "Mizumono" -- 5/23/14 SEASON FINALE
 

Who knew Jack and Hannibal fighting was just the beginning. High body count. Guess we wait until next year to find out who lives.

Also did everyone watch the last scene during the credits?

Re: Hannibal -- "Mizumono" -- 5/23/14 SEASON FINALE
 

Hannibal like a boss.

Re: Hannibal -- "Mizumono" -- 5/23/14 SEASON FINALE
 

Re: Hannibal -- "Mizumono" -- 5/23/14 SEASON FINALE
 

Oh yeah someone got defenestrated. Woohoo.

Re: Hannibal -- "Mizumono" -- 5/23/14 SEASON FINALE
 

Poor Abigail.


And what the fuck, Fuller? Assuming anybody survives, (and outside of Will, I have no idea who makes it) they're going to need quite a bit of recovery time before anybody can give chase. Will was disembowled for Christ's sake! Jack's wife seems to be in the best shape of the "good guys" on this damn show.

I did not see Scully being part of Hannibal's master plan... which I guess explains how he's three steps ahead of everyone.

This show is just incredible. Hopefully it'll gather some word of mouth before next season.

Re: Hannibal -- "Mizumono" -- 5/23/14 SEASON FINALE
 

What in the living fuck?????

That was absolutely mental!

Re: Hannibal -- "Mizumono" -- 5/23/14 SEASON FINALE
 

I've never screamed at my TV like that. Lol
-Abagail appears. "What the hell!?!
-Window push. "FUUUUCCKKKK!"(Beautifully shot , btw.)
-Will guted."GODDAMITT!"
-Abagail assault. "NOOOOOOOO!!!!!"
Incredible finale. One of the best I've ever seen.

Re: Hannibal -- "Mizumono" -- 5/23/14 SEASON FINALE
 

:jawdrop: -eek- :wtf:

Re: Hannibal -- "Mizumono" -- 5/23/14 SEASON FINALE
 

holy shit. I don't even know what I'm feeling right now!

Re: Hannibal -- "Mizumono" -- 5/23/14 SEASON FINALE
 

It was a stylish and tense finale but I kept expecting Will to shoot Hannibal. I really thought he'd get him in the finale but I guess it'll be more interesting having him on the loose than locked up like we saw already with Will or in the movies.

Abigail and Scully showing up at the last minute feels like something they pulled out of their ass while they were writing this episode. Awhile back Hannibal was in his clean suit ready to kill Scully and she fled in fear. Now she's sitting cozy alongside him? They sure set it up like he had killed Abigail with lines about not being able to protect her in this life and later on when he was eating "veal". It just feels like something they cooked up to throw in some twists. It was great TV though. Can't wait for next season.

Here is the Fuller interview with some teasers on Season 3...

Re: Hannibal -- "Mizumono" -- 5/23/14 SEASON FINALE
 

Holy fucking shit is all i can say bout that, GAWDDAYUUMN.

Re: Hannibal -- "Mizumono" -- 5/23/14 SEASON FINALE
 

No they have been setting that up all season.

Off the hook finale. Wow. Kudos to NBC for letting them run with their vision. It is stunning TV. And some of the most difficult and atmospheric TV I have ever seen.

Re: Hannibal -- "Mizumono" -- 5/23/14 SEASON FINALE
 

I can't even...I just...what the fuck!?!?

This show is just spectacular.

Re: Hannibal -- "Mizumono" -- 5/23/14 SEASON FINALE
 

I was disappointed because with 15 minutes left it was like eek who lives and who dies, and at the end I still didn't know. I almost deleted before the extra scene I was so meh.

Re: Hannibal -- "Mizumono" -- 5/23/14 SEASON FINALE
 

I can't believe there was a point in time when I was like "What? A show about Hannibal Lecter? That's so dumb." Now, this show easily eclipses everything that has come before (books and movies) that featured this character.

I'm still a little unsure as to why things played out the way they did. Why Will made that phone call. But reading the fuller interview, I guess we aren't meant to truly know just yet, which is cool by me,

Re: Hannibal -- "Mizumono" -- 5/23/14 SEASON FINALE
 

I didn't know what Will was doing at the time, but he's genuinely upset when Hannibal is still there ("You were supposed to leave"), and I think he was trying to convince him Hannibal to escape in an effort to save a mostly defenseless Jack. Plus, while this is Hannibal, I think the audience is supposed to root for Will, so I can't imagine him actually intending to betray Jack.

Re: Hannibal -- "Mizumono" -- 5/23/14 SEASON FINALE
 

I loved the Jack/Hannibal face merger shot.

Re: Hannibal -- "Mizumono" -- 5/23/14 SEASON FINALE
 

What an ep! I was shocked at how much blood flowed in the last 15 minutes. I not that surprised that Abigail showed up since they mentioned her in the previous eps. But I loved the way they foreshadowed Alana's death (maybe) earlier in the ep with the red tear.

Looks like we'll have to wait until the second episode to find out who lives and dies.

I'm intrigued with the change in locale (France) for Season 3. And it looks like we might be getting a lot more Gillian Anderson for S3. This manhunt for Hannibal might cause an interesting alliance between Mason and Will.

Re: Hannibal -- "Mizumono" -- 5/23/14 SEASON FINALE
 

Probably the best season finisher I've ever seen, I was NOT expecting that. To top it off, the score was fan-fucking-tastic as well.

Just excellent. The scene after the credits was just more icing on the cake.

Re: Hannibal -- "Mizumono" -- 5/23/14 SEASON FINALE
 

These Hannibal seasons play out weird, because even though it happened this season, the death of Beverly felt like it happened years ago. This show is just so dense. It would have been nice if her name was mentioned in the finale by Jack.

Re: Hannibal -- "Mizumono" -- 5/23/14 SEASON FINALE
 

Holy fucking shit!!!!!! :jawdrop:

That was an epic season finale!!! Amazing!! Bringing back Abigail and then the twist with Bedelia. My God, this season was like watching a 13 hour Hannibal movie.

Looking forward to what Fuller has planned for season 3. I read the TV Guide interview and it sounds like he has a pretty clear vision on what he wants. Kudos to NBC for sticking with this show. It's clearly one of their best and bravest dramas. More show runners need to take risks like Fuller.

Re: Hannibal -- "Mizumono" -- 5/23/14 SEASON FINALE
 

I literally was gritting my teeth and shouting out loud at the TV for the last 15 minutes. An incredibly tense and well-acted show. I can't wait to see what they Fuller has planned for next season. I'll need the summer to catch my breath and recover.

Re: Hannibal -- "Mizumono" -- 5/23/14 SEASON FINALE
 

what a mind fuck. totally awesome, though. :up:

Re: Hannibal -- "Mizumono" -- 5/23/14 SEASON FINALE
 

Remember when they were fishing? Yeeeeah. Pretty much that was the nod to get this whole thing in motion.

Re: Hannibal -- "Mizumono" -- 5/23/14 SEASON FINALE
 

what. the. fuck.

without a doubt one of the most intense hours of television ever created.

I'm glad that they renewed the show. Why would they even consider not doing so? Although I do give you that it's not your usual NBC show, so kudos to them for letting it run. The amount of insanity on this show is unbelievable

Re: Hannibal -- "Mizumono" -- 5/23/14 SEASON FINALE
 

After Miriam Lass was found alive during episode 7, there was evidence at the scene that exonerated Will from the Chesapeake Ripper and Copycat killings. He was subsequently released.

Re: Hannibal -- "Mizumono" -- 5/23/14 SEASON FINALE
 

I think Jack had doubts about Chilton when he arrested him. Remember that Jack went to kill Chilton, but once he had him cornered in the woods, Chilton just looked so pathetic, you can see doubt creeping into Jack's eyes. Then Miriam shooting Chilton was just too "neat" to have not been orchestrated.

I think it's somewhat to the show's credit that it doesn't outright spell it out that Jack switched. It also puts some doubt in the audience's mind if Will has actually turned, at least until Lounds is revealed as still being alive.

Re: Hannibal -- "Mizumono" -- 5/23/14 SEASON FINALE
 

I missed the post-credits ending. Someone please just tell me what happened. Thanks.

Re: Hannibal -- "Mizumono" -- 5/23/14 SEASON FINALE
 

Just watched this. Wow, I can't believe these last two episodes are airing on network TV.

HBO needs to step up their Game.
