For the book readers... How close to the source material was this finale?

Vaguely remember red dragon (movie) with Ed Norton getting gutted by Hopkins, so I anticipated that. How does Abigail and the psychiatrist tie into this?

I'm literally at what I just witnessed

Abigail is not a character in the books. Neither is the shrink.

What did we just bear witness to? Seriously? What the hell did we just see?

I applaud this show for being able to pull off a flash forward without it being a spoiler.

A great opening with Hannibal and Jack both asking Will if he would be ready to do what they needed when the time was right. A very dope camera shot with them lining up both of Will's instances and Hannibal and Jack's as well. I also like how they lined up Will's to make it one face.

I'm still perplexed about Hannibal and Bella's conversation. Great imagery with "punctuation" giving meaning to the words and spaces that preceded it especially with Bella noting that Hannibal moved her's. That also goes back to what Jack said about Hannibal seeing himself as God. Was she really pleaded for Hannibal not to kill Jack? I must say that Bella's involvement in the show was a welcome addition.

I understand that Hannibal can smell anything and everything but why didn't he smell Freddie on Jack? Maybe he did and that confirmed his suspicion when he smelled her, what would be again, on Will? I'm not sure but I loved the visual effect on that one as well. Freddie soaked in blood was a nice touch.

Abigail wasn't dead this whole time and gave Alana business through that window. I was as shocked as Alana looked as she was falling. Did Alana really cry blood, symbolizing "blood in the water/ Hannibal's suspicion etc", or was that just for the viewers? Also, why didn't she check her gun and that was a sloppy ass shot group.

This fukking guy Hannibal dropped three bodies and watching him slow motion dive into the pantry door was hilarious. That mother fukker is doing Flying Barcelonas à la Vega trying to finish Jack. That was a sad sight to see his last call being Bella. However, what the fukk happened to the SWAT team and the wire that he is supposed to be wearing? Them and the ambulance that Will called were slow as fukk. Hannibal gives Will the slow stab/ hug/ stern talking to combo and then slices Abigail like nothing. The whole time I'm sitting there stunned. Seeing Abigail's blood drip through Will's fingers was gut wrenching.

So the episode ends but it's a picture of the sky and no credits have rolled yet. Enter a plane with Hannibal in the finest of First Class sipping on some bubbly speaking that good French. That stewardess was fine as fukk. They pan over and Dr. Du Maurier is chilling next to Hannibal. Is she in on it? Was she always in on it? Was she not really taken advantage of as per her story? That adds so many levels to her scene. Amazing.

So many question as to who is dead. Will won't die, Jack and Alana, I don't know but Abigail gotta be dead. Right? What a fukking roller coaster this was and bravo to all involved. I cannot fukking wait for season 3. This shyt has officially blown my mind. I gotta watch this again tomorrow.

 

[714562]

Whoa- is everyone from Season 1 dead?

They've written out every single character except for the lab techs oh shyt.

That can't be.

Will called an ambulance for Alana before he came into the house.

I think Will is going to survive. As for everyone else, I don't know.

Alana Bloom was a male character in the books - Alan Bloom.

Abigail isn't in the books at all.

The big question is this: Will Jack Crawford die? He's in all of the books.

 

[714562]

He was forced to turn in his badge before any of that was arranged?

I saw that part but not the why. Gotta look out got that on the rewatch.



This is the TL:DR version of my earlier post.

 

[jwinfield]

I saw that part but not the why. Gotta look out got that on the rewatch.

FBI chick was calling entrapment.

I mean Will essentially convinced Hannibal to kill someone as part of their plan.

Said the only proof they had of murder was Will's murder of that one guy.

It could've been an If you can't beat him, join him type deal because I think how he victimized her the first time was real.

They didn't set up the wire/ team because Bella called everything off saying that the only thing they had was evidence that Will killed someone.

And any of them can die but I'm 70% betting Will will have to go pseudo vigilante to hunt him without being caught himself. He might become a suspect for the rest of the murders.

Although Hannibal was obsessed with Will, it's only inasmuch as he wants him on the team. Thematically they could potentially start from scratch- it'll be interesting to see how they build Will back up since he isn't insane, but has proven to go too far "by himself."
