I wish they kept a proper archive of it somewhere since all the links in Sepinwall's time at uproxx don't work anymore. <br />On a rewatch I just felt a large portion of it feeling so sorry for Hannibal, yes that absolute monster who killed my bro Beverly. There's that moment where he voices aloud to Will the possibility of sparing Jack and running away together just immediately, and Will shooting it down, that makes me understand why people wanted to hear him say "Damn right" instead of "Didn't I?" to Hannibal's "I gave you a rare gift, but you didn't want it." Will will always be /my guy/ but in that moment I could appreciate how incredibly frustrating he can be with his two-mindedness. <br />Can't say I appreciated Kade Prurnell's appearance, though I know why this crowd would. Her real-world logic is more jarring for me than the Vergers's sudden appearance.<br />I love that image of the stag dying beside Will, always willOnigirlihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10070327483035350298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-84880520928336083782014-06-01T07:16:38.411-04:002014-06-01T07:16:38.411-04:00This was just an amazing cap to an amazing season....This was just an amazing cap to an amazing season. Everything from the acting to the cinematography to the sound design was first-class, as usual. It's amazing how the Hannibal and Will scenes have an odd touching feeling about them. Hannibal's the devil but you can still sort of see how he's really let down (even heartbroken) about Will turning out to be a traitor, and how for a moment there they made it look like Will cared for Hannibal after all (and maybe on a certain level he does!).<br /><br />But those last ten minutes... just wow. I read on a few sites that that music playing in the background is a piece based on a *very* slowed down version of the Aria section from the Goldberg Variations (a recurring piece of music in the show and in The Silence of the Lambs). It was just haunting and beautiful, and it also reminded me of Inception and Non Je Ne Regrette Rien',.<br /><br />Can't wait for season 3. But man, I can't imagine how the Internet would have exploded if NBC had cut the series after this finale.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17171152477267754603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-36159125592536289412014-06-01T02:09:28.933-04:002014-06-01T02:09:28.933-04:00Thanks for that, she looked so unreal and ethereal...Thanks for that, she looked so unreal and ethereal that it was hard to know.<br />Yes, Hannibal did come across as a spurned lover there.

Seriously man, I was like dumbstruck at the the end of this finale. If the show was cancelled and ended right here at this moment, I probably would've put my fist through my screen. The entire episode was painfully tense, and then it all exploded into a cascading effect of terrible happenings. The craziest thing was, when Will and Hannibal were talking to each other amidst all the chaos, Hannibal sounded like some kinda spurned lover or something. Like you could see he was emotionally hurt that Will rejected him. I guess Will can take solace in the fact that he managed to stab through Hannibal's armor.<br /><br />Maze, Bryan Fuller confirmed in an interview, that was really Bedelia sitting with Hannibal on the plane.<br />Freemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11265555641080269765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-58819452986230865072014-05-31T03:57:10.760-04:002014-05-31T03:57:10.760-04:00Wow. Speechless. Brilliant and bloody finale.
Kade...Wow. Speechless. Brilliant and bloody finale.<br />Kade as the voice of reason lining up all their(Wills and Jacks) crimes was a much needed nod to reality. <br />Will and Hannibal-oh my. Hannibal gave Will a metaphorical judas kiss didn't he? You always hurt the one you love. Poor Abigail.<br />Was Bedelia at the end real or imagined? <br />Who will live? Will should, but lord knows about Alana and Jack. Abigail? She's a goner right? <br />A year to wait. <br />Brilliant review as ever.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
