Home \ Hot \ New \ Top \ Message The Mods \ S03E13 Discussion S03E09 - And the Woman Clothed With the Sun. In this new drama from Bryan Fuller, based on the characters from Thomas Harris' classic novels, we see where this incredible story began. One of the most fascinating literary characters comes to life on television for the first time: psychiatrist-turned-serial-killer, Dr.

A brawl that will, no doubt, leave us all clamouring for more next season.Subreddit for everything related to Hannibal, the NBC TV show. Something that will trigger Jack coming to Hannibal’s home and initiating a brutal, bloody brawl. If anything, Will’s last-ditch effort to hook Hannibal is going to lead to something horrible happening. I don’t believe for a moment that Hannibal is taken in by this move. When Will suggests, in a manner that seems a trifle more desperate than he wants it to appear, that Hannibal should reveal himself to Jack, it becomes plain that Will could never really stand up to Hannibal’s scrutiny. It’s a Hannibal who still feels that he and Will are best when together, two lonely souls finding a disturbed connection, but he clearly knows that Will has ulterior motives. This is a Hannibal who inflicts vengeance rather than just punishing the brutish. He wasn’t lying when he said he was exploring Will’s perspective as much as Will was exploring his. Leaving him paralyzed and disfigured, in his (woefully underused) sister’s tender care, is righteous punishment it’s Hannibal embracing the power of god in a way that is tempered by Will’s own sense of righteous justice. The normal beauty and grace of the Hannibal murder tableaux is missing here, replaced instead by a psychological and physical brutality that sets Mason apart from other victims in the series. It’s a grisly and affecting scene, as a drugged-up Mason feeds his face to Will’s dogs before, at Hannibal’s suggestion, cutting off his own nose and having it as a snack. Michael Pitt’s extravagant Ledger/Joker-like performance suddenly and naturally morphs into the post-mutilation Gary Oldman intonations and damaged inflections of a man who has sliced off the majority of his own face.
The fun here, however, was in the journey. If you were familiar with the Ridley Scott film adaptation of Hannibal, you already knew what Mason’s ultimate fate would be. But, given that having to reimagine Will’s discovery of Hannibal’s true nature has translated into one of the most spectacularly disturbing television seasons ever broadcast, I’m not really worried about what Fuller and company might have up their sleeves in the years to come.

From the way Hannibal kills one of his attackers, to the blood debt he is owed thereafter, to the dangling over the hungry pigs these are all scenes that, if the series achieves Fuller’s goal of adapting all of the Harris novels, are going to have to be reimagined if we ever get to that point. This time around we get scenes culled directly from Hannibal (both novel and film) as Mason and Hannibal butt heads. Abel Gideon (Eddie Izzard) playing Hannibal (interesting trivia note: Gideon was Hannibal’s name in the early drafts of Silence Of The Lambs film scripts, before MGM had the rights to the character!).
In the first season we had our Silence Of The Lambs analogue with Miriam Lass (Anna Chlumsky) playing the Clarice role and Dr. One of the most difficult aspects of writing for this series, I would imagine, is not just coming up with beautifully macabre murder scenarios, but is finding ways to incorporate elements of Lecter’s established history (through the novels and films) that allows the creators to tell stories true to Thomas Harris’ work while operating under the persistent fear of cancellation. And it all leads up to this coming week’s violent brawl between Jack and Hannibal.
