Regarding Hannibal S3

Jul 27, 2014 13:33

I've been hearing about some misinformation flying around, and since I've spent the past couple of days herding Hannibal-related SDCC links into Storify posts, I thought I'd put together what they've told us about season three--which is a lot more than people may realize. In order to take all this in, though, you will have to throw out everything ( Read more... )

* ambiguously European Frasier Crane -- wow, I'd honestly never thought about it like that because, dang was he super menacing all the way through the show, but now I want this as a fic from Alana's POV.
*CHILTON ME TOO, YES PLEASE

I always considered Bedelia to be sort of a teacher to Hannibal (teacher for what, who knows? I just know she's always been so condescending in a way, even while maintaining respect and rapport with Hannibal, like a teacher or mentor would be), especially since the original casting choice for Bedelia was Angela Lansbury. So I think she's ALWAYS been dark, although in terms of killing either she's killed more before and we don't know it or she's been doing as Hannibal does and manipulating her patients into killing.

We know she's a good manipulator.

Or maybe she was dark, but neither killer nor manipulator, but enjoyed seeing them do their work?

Either way after a rewatch of the series I find myself not wondering why Bedelia "went bad" because it was clear she was already long bad long ago, but I am wondering why she still went with Hannibal even when she's already free from the FBI and has immunity. I feel like getting back with Hannibal wasn't clean or orderly, and she seems to value that.

Alana. I am way more defensive of her than some have been
Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one defending her and it's hard. I love characters that are straight out good people, like her.

I need the writers to write her better! She's the best when she's working as a profiler or teaching, come on Hannibal writers!

I'm too overwhelmed with the information Cleo's provided to form original points of my own, so I think I'll make do by retracing your points for opinions, if that's OK with you ( ... )
