At some point (well within the first quarter) literally every scene was clicking with me, it was really great. Just... the lines... and the transitional stuff fully kept my interest, instead of flitting in and out, and I was also weirdly comforted (that can't last). <br />Perfect timing for the Abigail flashbacks, back when she was alive my little gripe was that I couldn't really see the bond Will had or wanted to forge with her. I guess I still feel that way, but the way she leaned into Hannibal's (the character's) plot really made me see how she could work well with Will too. Now that I'm only seeing this after she died I feel emotions behind her screen time again besides reservation. I'd love to see more of her... and I generally loathe flashbacks.<br />Freddie was, dare I say it, CUTE to me with her Will-haranguing. "If you're smart you'd use me.."<br />I was really into Reba and Francis, just completely immersed. And honestly him calling Hannibal was way more exciting to me than Will seeing Hannibal again after the timeskip, despite that evocative music.

That's a very concise way to describe her qualities as an actress. Can you imagine if David Slade jumped back on too? It'd be a <i>Hard Candy</i> reunion for the ages.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13953652907115935895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-82478026664042202892015-08-11T18:49:39.574-04:002015-08-11T18:49:39.574-04:00Jess,

I agree the Red Dragon stuff is among the scariest we've seen yet, imo. We fans probably have a liftime of possible disturbing images to look forward to in dreamland when it's over! Wouldn't that be such a coup if Will ended up next to Hannibal in a matching cell (but more woodsy and rustic)?

She would be very good, perhaps a bit more "old soul" than Jodie Foster. A slightly different take. Would have been interesting.

Too funny. I also loved Alana in that striped power suit with the sidebun. That look was Bedelia-level striking. Great screen capture, Heather!<br /><br />Bitter, spurned Hannibal is almost as delightful as bemused, so-above-you-all Hannibal. That initial confrontation between Will and Hannibal was wonderful to behold. I must have Will dressed up in the moral dignity pants, too, because I'm feeling sympathy for him again, even knowing he did some world class horrific things when trying to catch Hannibal. He's certainly not as bad as Hannibal --- poor, manipulated Abigail --- but he should probably be locked up, too. And yet, I just want him to get back to his wife, stepson, and his dogs, and be freed from what Jack and Hannibal's world does to him. His nightmare vision of having "Red Dragon"-ed his wife was heartbreaking.<br /><br />Richard Armitage is scaring the crap out of me as Francis Dolarhyde. <i>Hannibal</i> has once again reclaimed the mantle of "show I can't watch too close to bedtime" --- yea! --- which makes it kind of hard to catch up when I fall behind --- erg.Jess Lyndehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14165015932507376656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-19869425271672435632015-08-06T10:38:43.178-04:002015-08-06T10:38:43.178-04:00Heather1,

Re: Crispin Glover -- be still my heart. He would kill as Buffalo Bill. He doesn't appear to be aging so, I think it would work. Did you ever see the article where Fuller dreamed of Ellen Page as Clarice? I remember seeing that somewhere.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13953652907115935895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-31805911243912082992015-08-05T16:23:16.681-04:002015-08-05T16:23:16.681-04:00Because it has been telegraphed so loudly, I wonde...Because it has been telegraphed so loudly, I wonder if something else will happen to Dr. Bloom. Hannibal may keep his promise in another way. Of course, what that way may be, I have no idea. Now, even though it appears we will never get the Fuller version of Silence of the Lambs, we know that there was no Alana Bloom during that time... only Dr. Chilton. So something has to happen to her. Wait a minute, I hate to say it... but maybe Hannibal kills someone else (Margot... baby?), prompting Alana to kill herself out of guilt. Alana is already so broken already. She also knows that she's playing a game she can't really win. Her assertion that she's working at the institute as a jailor more than anything else reveals her mental defeat. But just by being there, she's playing, something she has said Hannibal is always doing. I hope Hannibal doesn't do anything to the baby. That simply can't be delicious and I'd like to think it feels tonally wrong for this show. And it's merely my speculation in any event that this would be a possibility to get to Alana. OK... I see that I'm going in circles a little bit. On another note, if there were a possibility of doing Silence... how fantastic would that dynamic be? Who would be a good Clarice in this new Hannibal universe? Who could play Buffalo Bill? I'm thinking... Karen Gillan (Nebula in Guardians of the Galaxy) and is Crispin Glover too old for Buffalo Bill?Heather1https://www.blogger.com/profile/09736870202194851186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-16667852762976625242015-08-05T14:13:09.277-04:002015-08-05T14:13:09.277-04:00Bella, my money is on the man who keeps his promis...Bella, my money is on the man who keeps his promises so -- not long?Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13953652907115935895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-71834157837807054232015-08-05T13:11:06.026-04:002015-08-05T13:11:06.026-04:00How much longer will our lovely Ms. Bloom/Vergerba...How much longer will our lovely Ms. Bloom/Vergerbaby mom last on this show?Bellanoreply@blogger.com
