This has been such a satisfying season of television. Thank you again, for doing the recaps. I had heard about Hannibal, but had sort of, been burnt too many times by prequel stuff and Silence of the Lambs is one of my favorite movies and I wanted to keep it that way. Still, seeing that someone enjoyed the show enough to spend the time/effort to recap pushed me over to watch the show. SO glad I did, despite all the painful feels.
*flaily hands* So many beautiful visuals, inversions, parallels, full-circle references. This show. HOW. How is it soooo gooood?
I want thirty billionty seasons of Will and Hannibal's stalemated chess matches...is it next year yet? Burning desire to see Uncle David Bowie Lecter.
Word, most shows have the occasional lackluster episode in a season's run, but I want to say that Hannibal only got better as the season went on and the plotlines spun tighter and tighter.
So good. Any day now, the feels will recede enough that I can sit down and rewatch everything and appreciate instead of drown in feels. Any day now?
There were episodes I personally enjoyed more than others, but there were things I just loved in every single episode. "Sorbet" and "Fromage" may have been the high points for me, but it's immediately after those two that things started getting really emotionally wrenching, and those two were actually pretty fun, so that might have something to do with it.
I don't know if it's because I've processed my feels pretty thoroughly by writing everything up (there's nothing quite as cathartic as capslock, I guess), but I feel pretty good about everything, not upset or drained. If I weren't physically exhausted (for multiple reasons), I could easily sit down and start rewatching the whole season.
Part of it may just be that I'm someone who dreads emotional conflict with the fires of a thousand suns, and watching Will Graham get mentally shredded in the last few episodes has been difficult for me to watch. :\
I legitimately do not know how any of this happened--how they got people this talented, writing this intelligent, visuals this gorgeous, and gore that gory. There is not a single thing about this show being on network television, much less NBC, that I understand. Long may they reign.
