Hannibal	comment	Hannibal is a psychological horror thriller series created by Bryan Fuller, based on the title character of the Hannibal Lecter franchise.A peculiar Genre Mashup of Forensic Drama and Gothic Horror, the series follows FBI profiler Will Graham (Hugh Dancy) as he investigates difficult serial killer cases for Special Agent Jack Crawford (Laurence Fishburne). Requiring further assistance, psychiatrist Dr. Alana Bloom (Caroline Dhavernas) recommends they enlist the help of the world-renowned psychiatrist Hannibal Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen), to both consult on cases and keep Will from becoming too caught up in the horrors of his job.Wait, did we mention Hannibal Lecter is secretly a cannibal and serial killer?Set before Red Dragon, the novel that started the Thomas Harris books and led to the award-winning film series, the show frequently leans on Hannibal's double life and his "friendship" with Will and co. as they solve grisly murders. Not only is the show notable for its writing, it was also built on an infamous cocktail of Scenery Gorn and Food Porn — expect beautifully constructed meals made with Mystery Meat, and corpses mutilated in unique and artistic ways.Premiering on NBC on April 4, 2013, the show was later renewed for a second season in 2014, and a third in 2015. The show quickly gained popularity by drawing Fuller and Harris fans together, and for spawning an enthusiastic fanbase that has been skillfully and gleefully mirrored by the official blog (MAJOR UNMARKED SPOILERS). As to the full arc, Fuller announced an ultimate six-season plan for the show: after the two original seasons, Seasons 3-5 were to be a re-ordered, re-imagined version of the book seriesnote The books in release order: Red Dragon, The Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal, and Hannibal Rising before the show closed on an original ending come Season 6.Unfortunately, NBC cancelled the show in June 2015 (and only a few episodes into Season 3) due to poor ratings, adding it to the pile of Fuller shows cancelled just a few seasons in. Fuller and Martha de Laurentiis initially expressed some optimism about finding a new home for a fourth season, but nothing developed. Netflix picked up the streaming rights in 2020, and Hannibal quickly became one of the platform's most popular shows. That success raised hopes for a potential revival, though that remains purely speculative.SPOILER WARNING: Following the show's conclusion, spoilers can (and will) be unmarked for the first two seasons to prevent the page being whited out.

The Season 2 trailer seems to give away that Jack and Alana will discover Hannibal's secret, and he will try to kill them, as well as the Wham Line by Bedelia where she tells Will she believes his claims about Hannibal. The promo for "Mukozuke" reveals that Will's attendant in charge of transporting him to and from trial killed the bailiff. The trailer for "Primavera", the second episode of Season 3, reveals that Will, Jack, and Alana all made it out of Hannibal's house and have tracked him down to Florence.

Hannibal / int_14ed6ab7	comment	Does This Remind You of Anything?: Hannibal shoves a long, thin object down Will's throat to force him to do something against his will, for which he will be blamed afterwards. Will even has a traumatic flashback to it later, which makes it seem extremely similar to a situation of Rape as Drama. Will's methods for dealing with Hannibal in the second season are essentially seduction. "You gotta make [a fish not interested in the bait] bite, even though he's not hungry. [...] You have to create a reality where only you and the fish exist. Your lure is the one thing he wants, despite everything he knows." He, in turn, plays up his vulnerability and the twisted parts of his nature to appeal to Hannibal and keep him interested. "Tome-wan" confirms this: Will and Jack openly discuss capturing Hannibal, and Will reassures Jack that he's "a pretty good fisherman".

Hannibal / int_18aff462	comment	Artistic License – Biology: In "The Great Red Dragon", Zeller holds up a plaster reconstruction of the mouth that left a bite mark on a victim and points out its "pegged lateral incisors". There are three problems with this: one, the term is peg lateral, as in peg-shaped; two, he's pointing at the wrong jaw (peg laterals only occur in the upper jaw, and he points at the mandible); and three, the plaster model doesn't have peg laterals. Meanwhile, no attention is paid to the fact that the model is missing all of its molars, which in real life would be a much more significant identifying characteristic than the small incisor defects discussed in the episode.

The season three/series finale Wrath Of The Lamb advertisements showed Hannibal's lines "Your wife, your child, they belong to me" alongside shots of Will and Molly, when really he's speaking to Alana about Margot and their son, and Will had nothing to do with the scene at all.

It's particularly sinister in "Savoureaux", where the theme music inexplicably plays at a far lower pitch than usual. While it's unclear whether or not this was intentional, it's very effective. The lingering, far-too-intimate shot of the opera singer's vocal cords in "Sorbet" is a literal one. Same goes for the MO of the murderer in the following episode "Fromage", who posed a victim like a cello and exposed his vocal cords to use as strings. Which Will, in his empath-trance, gets to play. Sleep well.

He starts the series shooting Garrett Jacob Hobbs to death, went after Abel Gideon, he killed Randall Tier in self defense after Hannibal sent him his way, almost shoots Clark Ingram for being human garbage, goads Hannibal into breaking Mason's neck hoping it would kill him, and eventually he and Hannibal take down the Great Red Dragon together. He eventually reveals in the finale that he considers these acts "beautiful."

Hannibal's actions show that they're right; even though he is most likely aware of the plan, it clearly infuriates him to see someone else take credit for his crimes. It's insinuated in Season 2 that one of the reasons Hannibal is so obsessed with Will is that he's actually envious of Will's empathetic abilities. As Will's and Hannibal's relationship grows more romantic in Season 3, they become jealous of each other's partners. Will behaves rather aggressively towards Bedelia, while Hannibal goes as far as trying to get Will's family killed.

It's possible he intended for both of them to die once he fully succumbed to the violent urges Hannibal had spent the entire series trying to bring out, but it's also possible Will did so in an attempt to evade the FBI. He warns Bedelia of his plan to let Hannibal escape beforehand, and that Hannibal will most likely come after her, implying this was his plan. On the other hand, there was likely a much less dangerous way for them to both escape. This is assuming this really happened, and is not just one of Will's intricate hallucinations.

This is also expanded through old friendships and FBI roles being expanded upon. For example, Drs. Katz, Price, and Zeller are called on at different points in the books, but this was changed to them being FBI forensic specialists who all work as a trio. The same goes for Abigail and Garrett Jacob Hobbs, who are occasionally mentioned in the books and the former of whom Will recalls briefly meeting with again after the incident. Come the TV show, Hobbs' impact on Will is thoroughly explored in the first season, and Abigail is a direct part of Will's life — to the point he even finds himself caring greatly about her.

While the former remains faithful to the book character (up to and including being dispatched by Hannibal), Budge wound up being very different.

Hannibal / int_26ac510e	comment	Mythology Gag: During the development process of The Silence of the Lambs, the name Dr. Gideon Quinn was used for the character of Dr. Hannibal Lecter due to Dino DeLaurentiis owning the rights to the name. He later allowed the makers to use the real names for free. In the series, Eddie Izzard plays a serial killer named Dr. Gideon. In "Buffet Froid", Hannibal reveals that he and Dr. Sutcliffe, a neurologist, went to study at Hopkins, either referencing the books or the relevant actor. Much of the depiction of Will's house in Wolf Trap and his home life, and the descriptions of them given to other characters, comes from Thomas Harris' accounts of where and how he lived while writing Red Dragon (i.e. collecting stray dogs, going on long walks at night, the house looking like "a boat at sea"). Some scenes or chunks of dialogue are taken straight from the books — Will fantasizes about killing Hannibal the same way a Nazi dies in Hannibal Rising, Hannibal delivers the "fox hears a rabbit run" bit in the Season 2 finale, etc.

All this while he, of course, is pining for Will who single-handedly sails across the Atlantic Ocean to Europe in order to find him. Will and Bedelia spend the rest of the season viciously snarking at one another like petty rivals in a love competition. Will wins their game at the end of the series by reciprocating Hannibal's love, with Bedelia's leg ending up on their dinner plates.

The first season could arguably be seen as a deconstruction of Hannibal's Draco in Leather Pants status in popular culture, through Bait the Dog. Hopkins' adaptations in particular often made Hannibal sympathetic through his Affably Evil nature, and the fact that many of his victims were Asshole Victims. While this Hannibal has these traits to an extent, the show slowly draws attention to the more selfish motives behind his crimes, and doesn't shy away from or downplay how his actions end up affecting good, genuinely decent people, like Will.invoked

All of this is so Tobias can send a message via proxy to Hannibal in hopes that they can be serial killer friends. Shortly after Hannibal tells Gideon where he can find Alana, he tells Will — who just regained consciousness from a seizure — that he's going to check up on Alana because Gideon is on the loose. He also stops Will from trying to go himself, telling him he needs to rest up, casually sets down Will's gun (which he previously confiscated) as well as the keys to his own car, and leaves the room saying he's going to phone Jack. A moment later, he re-enters with no intention of calling Jack, and has a distinct lack of surprise finding that Will, the keys, and the gun have vanished.

Ellen Muth plays a character named Georgia who believes that she's dead. Lance Henriksen - lead actor in Millennium (1996), to which Hannibal is a Spiritual Successor - guest stars in Trou Normand. He ends the scene double-tapping his chair, with a sound effect lifted from the Millennium opening theme.invoked Will's line "Don't psychoanalyze me. You won't like me when I'm psychoanalyzed," could be a reference to another Ed Norton (who played Will Graham in the 2002 movie Red Dragon) role as the Hulk. The extended fight scene between Jack and Hannibal in the season 2 opener "Kaiseki" apparently came about when Laurence Fishburne noticed the filming of the Tobias/Hannibal fight in season 1 (the episode "Fromage") and mentioned to Bryan Fuller "You know, I'm pretty good at fight scenes too." In "The Great Red Dragon", Chilton mentions that "Blood and Chocolate" should have been the subtitle of his book. This is a reference to the movie "Blood and Chocolate", in which Hugh Dancy starred.

Hannibal / int_3bc88a7f	comment	Foregone Conclusion: At some point — maybe not in the series itself, but inevitably — Hannibal will be exposed as a serial killer by Will and imprisoned in Chilton's asylum, and and Will would be forced to retire from the FBI. Eventually subverted in Season 3, with Hannibal willingly turning himself in, so that Will would always know where to find him. Will does retire, but when Jack Crawford pulls him back in to work on the Red Dragon case, Will ends up hatching a deliberately flimsy plot that ends with Hannibal breaking out of prison, and the two of them kill the Red Dragon together and fall off a cliff in each other's arms. According to early interviews, Fuller has roughed out several years worth of plot, calling Season 1 the "bromance" between Hannibal and Will, and Season 2 "the ugly breakup", while Season 4 is "basically Red Dragon", which in turn might possibly feature Freddie Lounds' death, if they plan to kill her off in the series. A more minor example, independent from the books, is the flash-forward at the beginning of Season 2, which confirms that neither Hannibal nor Jack will be meeting their demise in the interim. The fate of Mason Verger is essentially true to the book version.

Hannibal / int_40c57041	comment	Manipulative Bastard: Hannibal Lecter in spades. It seems obvious, but the premiere of Season 2 has made it even more so. Hannibal wants Will to act on his darkest urges (or, as he calls them, "inspirations") to manipulate and kill. Will knows that Hannibal was the copycat killer, but is imprisoned for those crimes. Therefore, Hannibal has effectively put Will in a position where he has to perform some dark deeds in order to get revenge on Hannibal. Intersecting with his Psycho Psychologist and Morally Ambiguous Doctorate tags it's begun to be suggested that while acting as a therapist Hannibal "treats" patients by helping them to realize and act upon desires that would, in general society, be deemed as destructive. This is evidenced in his treatments of Will, Margot, and Randall Tier. Subverted towards Will. While Hannibal initially tries to manipulate Will, and will keep trying to influence him throughout the series, Bedelia points out that Will since getting out of jail is well aware of this, and she's right. In fact, while Will is definitely subject to the pull Hannibal has on him, the kind of manipulation that Hannibal used on a lot of his former patients doesn't work on him, and in the second half of Season 2 he gradually eliminates the power imbalance. Will. Although it might not look like it, Will can be as apt as Hannibal at manipulation. He had a plan to make Hannibal kill Mason so he'd be caught in the act, and he succeeded at making Hannibal turn himself in by rejecting him — which he claims he did on purpose to get that result. Another example is putting the hand on Chilton in the picture, imagining this move would make the Dragon go for Chilton and get Chilton karmic punishment for what he wrote on Hannibal, as he later admits to Bedelia. This is not a direct manipulation of Dolarhyde, but it's a manipulation of events and of unsuspecting people (Chilton) so that Will's likely to obtain a wanted result.

He starts the series shooting Garrett Jacob Hobbs to death, went after Abel Gideon, he killed Randall Tier in self defense after Hannibal sent him his way, almost shoots Clark Ingram for being human garbage, goads Hannibal into breaking Mason's neck hoping it would kill him, and eventually he and Hannibal take down the Great Red Dragon together. He eventually reveals in the finale that he considers these acts "beautiful."

In "Fromage", he even snaps Tobias' elbow in a ladder before bludgeoning him with a statue, and in "Takiawase" he flips off the lights so he can throttle Beverly. In the fight between Jack and Hannibal in Season 2, kitchen knives, dishcloths, shards of glass, pans, and a fridge door are all used as weapons by the two combatants. Used to its logical extent by Jack when fighting Hannibal in Italy. He sneaks up on his foe after taking off his shoes and playing covering music, disarms him, throws him through two glass cabinets, maims him with a meat hook, and then keeps his enemy on the ground while he repeatedly punches him in the face. His victim only has the chance to throw one decent blow, and it misses.

In the "Savoureux", Will falls on the same spot that Garrett Jacob Hobbs did after Jack shoots him (non-fatally) and stares at Hannibal as he says, "See?" The Season 2 finale, "Mizumono", has two, both referencing "Aperitif". Firstly, Will calls Hannibal and only says "They know," just as Hannibal did for Hobbes. Secondly, as Abigail's mother figure (before her mother, now Alana) lies horrifically wounded on the front porch, Abigail's father figure (before her father, now Hannibal) cuts Abigail's throat in the kitchen as Will can only watch helplessly. Before Hannibal saved Abigail's life, now he undoes his rescue as Will again tries to hold her wound closed and is unable to. The very first scene of the show has an Early-Bird Cameo by Francis Dolarhyde, who (as Bryan Fuller confirmed) committed the murder Will is investigating. The second half of the final season is centered around actually hunting and arresting Dolarhyde in fitting with the Red Dragon story line. The first and last episodes of Season 3 feature someone eating their own legs.

The Ravenstag represents Hannibal and Will's relationship. A stag sculpture is seen in Hannibal's office. It appears again when Hannibal uses the aforementioned sculpture to kill Tobias. As Will's encephalitis worsens, he has increasingly frequent hallucinations of deer and buck antlers. In "Savoureux", the Wendigo appears for the first time in place of Hannibal himself from Will's point of view when Will realizes what Hannibal really is.invoked From the very beginning of the series, Will has an affinity for dogs. Like dogs, he is a naturally empathetic creature. Fittingly, Alana likens Hannibal to a cat in Season 3, noting the pride and refinement that he holds so dear. The Vergers get their own prevalent Animal Motifs in Season 2, with Mason's obviously being pigs and Margot's apparently being horses. This makes sense, as Margot is rightfully insecure and craves freedom, and Mason is... a pig. Season 3 seems to make a case for Hannibal and snails. Both move through life slow and methodically and take their time to consume their food. Perhaps the most famous example from the Thomas Harris novels, Season 3 finally introduces Francis Dolarhyde and his obsessive connection to William Blake's The Great Red Dragon paintings.

Hannibal / int_5ece868a	comment	Consulting a Convicted Killer: In an elaborate Mythology Gag, the second season has Beverly Katz consult Will Graham on the Muralist case when he's in a hospital for the criminally insane. Subsequently, Jack consults Will on Beverly's murder. While Will is innocent of the crimes he's accused of, he has been Convicted by Public Opinion, if not the law. In the third season's arc that directly adapts the novel Red Dragon, the show adapts the Trope Codifier when Will Graham consults Hannibal Lecter while the latter is locked up. As in the source material, the exercise is less about getting a profile from Hannibal and more about Graham "getting the old scent back" after three years in retirement.

Hannibal / int_6bda9a30	comment	Meaningful Name: Abigail Hobbs shares her name with a fourteen-year-old girl who, along with her father William, was accused of witchcraft in the Salem witch trials. Bedelia Du Maurier doubles as this and a Shout-Out; Daphne Du Maurier specialized in stories of psychological manipulation. Franklyn Froidevaux, being a Benjamin Raspail Expy, got his first name from "Benjamin Franklin," and his last name is a street that runs parallel to Raspail in Paris. The killer from the first two episodes of Season 2 whose victims form a flesh-tone color palette is named James Gray, while his last victim is named Roland Umber. Matthew 27:3-10 describes the suicide by hanging of Judas Iscariot. After subduing and accusing him of betraying Will, Matthew Brown tortures, crucifies, and then hangs Hannibal. The man who takes care of animals in "Su-zakana" is named Peter Bernardone. Saint Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals, was born Giovanni di Pietro di Bernardone. In "Shiizakana", the killer is named Randall Tier, and is obsessed with animals. "Tier" is German for "animal." As in the books, Mason Verger's name combines the name of a religious group associated with power and secrecy with a last name meaning a layperson assistant in church rites, reflecting the Verger family's power and secrecy, its association with the church (Southern Baptist, in this instance), and Mason's inferior but useful skills as a sadist and manipulator when he is drawn into the "game" between Will and Hannibal. The man whose identity Hannibal steals after choosing him as a murder victim for his rudeness is called Dr. Fell. As in, "I do not like thee, Dr. Fell" (and, also, as in a Dean of Christchurch College, the person supposedly referenced in that rhyme).

Hannibal / int_6ec4232f	comment	Casting Gag: Gillian Anderson as Hannibal's psychotherapist, Bedelia Du Maurier. Anderson is well known for playing Dana Scully, a character inspired by Clarice Starling. The connection becomes even more apparent when Hannibal and Bedelia go into hiding together after Season 2, which mirrors Hannibal and Clarice's eventual fate in the books. Zachary Quinto as Bedelia's's dead patient, Neal Frank. Quinto is known for playing mentally unbalanced characters and previously worked with Bryan Fuller on Heroes. In a twist, Neal is actually an innocent victim. He merely called out Bedelia and Hannibal on their callous treatments and ended up dead because of it. Ellen Muth who played Georgia Lass on Dead Like Me plays Georgia Madchen. Apart from having the same first name and a last name with the same meaning, both are young women who are still walking around even though they believe they died years before, both help people pass on into the next life (though in different ways), and both physically see people differently than others do. It is one step removed from a crossover.

It's suggested multiple times that it's because of the great potential for goodness and cruelty he sees in that empathy, rather than simply because it's something he doesn't have, but it's still worth noting that Will's empathy is diametrically opposite to the way Hannibal sees the world. Funnily enough, one of the other reasons Hannibal and Will love each other so much seems to be that they are so similar in being different from everybody else.

This was used as foreshadowing for Bella Crawford's lung cancer diagnosis in "Coquilles", and to hint that Hannibal smelled Will's encephalitis months before his symptoms developed. In Season 2, he uses his sophisticated sense of smell to solve crimes. For example, he detects the scent of a cornfield on a dead body, leading him to realize that the victim escaped from a corn farm before dying. Also in Season 2, after Bedelia claims that Hannibal is dangerous, he shows up at her house in his plastic murder suit to find Bedelia has emptied her house apart from some of the larger items (such as furniture). Her perfume bottle is left behind, left in plain sight so Hannibal knows that she knew he would come, and that he can't find her with his senses. Continuing with Season 2, Hannibal realizes Will has betrayed him when Hannibal picks up traces of Freddie's scent on Will.

Hannibal / int_87bc9c07	type	Fire/Water Juxtaposition
Hannibal / int_87bc9c07	comment	Fire/Water Juxtaposition: Hannibal and Will are associated (using scenery, favored environments, perception or their tools) with fire and water, respectively, which symbolizes their respective natures. Hannibal is often filmed in front of his fireplace, just loves flambé cooking (using alcohol on a hot pan to create a jet of flame to cook the food), describes Will's illness/madness — which he cultivates — with fire metaphors (such as oil spill), and has used fire as a murder weapon. He's brilliant and eye-catching, vital, loves life, but he's terribly destructive and changes whatever he touches; the deliberate Lucifer inspiration makes it all the stronger (since Lucifer means 'light-bringer', and is, of course, associated with hellfire). Will is a fisherman; sweats a lot; likes and repairs boats; is filmed in the shower; hallucinates rain, floods, trickles, waves and cliffs of ice (including one when he outright dissolved in water); and retreats to a serene mental river in Season 2. His empathic gift means he takes the shape of others like water in a vessel, and he can seem deceptively dreary and cold, as well as easily "diluted" and diverted, subject to constant change and motion — always from without. Someone can't touch him without changing him. That doesn't mean he's not dangerous, too, in his own way. Fittingly, he kills Hannibal with water. In "Mukōzuke", where was Hannibal nearly killed on Will's request? At a swimming pool. The episode also had the repeated symbolism of water with blood seeping into it.

Typically psychiatrists would see patients about medication and treatment of mental illness, more than just talk therapy — that's a psychotherapist's job. Justified in Will's case, since his relationship with both Hannibal and Alana isn't a doctor-patient relationship in the typical sense. Alana also tells Abigail that she isn't a medical doctor. Psychiatrists go through medical school, the same as any other MD. Perhaps also justified in that Alana may be trying to simplify matters for a layman/reassure Abigail that her goal is something very different from aiding her physical recovery.

Hannibal / int_8e20979	comment	Wham Episode: "Savoureux", the first season finale. Abigail is implied to have been killed by Hannibal. Bedelia is revealed to know something about what Hannibal does. Hannibal frames Will for Abigail's murder, as well as the Copycat Killer murders. Jack is forced to shoot Will when Will threatens Hannibal with a gun. Will figures out what Hannibal really is, and is committed to the Baltimore State Hospital for the Criminally Insane. Alana is grief-stricken and guilt-ridden for Abigail's death and Will's apparent tumble over the edge, in spite of all her warnings and all her efforts to help him. Even Will's dogs are taken into custody. No one comes out of this episode unscathed. Except for Hannibal. "Takiawase": Beverly Katz is killed after discovering Hannibal's secret. "Futamono": One of Hannibal's murders exonerates Will and Miriam Lass is discovered alive by Jack. "Yakimono": Frederick Chilton is framed by Hannibal for his crimes, and then shot by Miriam. "Tome-wan": Mason Verger gets his just (and extremely gruesome) desserts, and afterward, Hannibal declares that he will reveal his true self to Jack. "Mizumono": Hannibal leaves Jack, Will, Alana and Abigail to die in his house after psychologically and physically tormenting every one of them. Once again, Hannibal is unscathed, though he has fled the country. "Contorno": At long, long last, Jack gives Hannibal what he deserves, beating him to a bloody pulp and throwing him out of a window. "Digestivo": Mason dies and Hannibal surrenders to the police. "The Number of the Beast is 666": Chilton is mutilated and set on fire by Dolarhyde. "The Wrath of the Lamb": Hannibal and Will kill Dolarhyde in a brutal melee, before embracing each other and throwing themselves off a bluff to their deaths. However, there are no bodies at the bottom...

Instead, Fuller opted to move his adaptation of "Red Dragon" up to the second half of Season 3 — which also includes adapted material from Hannibal and Hannibal Rising.

Note, however, that the setting means they're probably worse off alive; a prime example of this is in "Rôti", as Chilton is required to survive and remain a recurring antagonist, which means he's found semi-conscious and partially eviscerated instead of dying at Gideon's hands. Also subverted on occasion, with book and film characters (albeit not the starring ones) occasionally dying. Especially notable in Season 2 is Beverly Katz, who acted as a forensic scientist during the events of the Red Dragon novel. Later on, during the series' adaptation of Red Dragon, Chilton is set ablaze in a wheelchair instead of Freddie Lounds. The canon also gives us Mason Verger's ultimate fate. Inspector Pazzi.

While a part of him tries to retain a conventional morality, another part pulls him towards a more personal moral code. For example, it becomes more and more acceptable to him that another person suffer if he thinks they deserve it (like Mason, or Bedelia and Chilton). At the same time, he forgave Hannibal after he killed Abigail and cut Will open, he doesn't seem to think Hannibal deserves to suffer, and accepts him unconditionally even though he's a serial killer and a cannibal — which for conventional morality wouldn't make sense. The fact that his criteria for who deserves pain are so personal is actually one of the things that make Will all the more dangerous and unpredictable.

Hannibal / int_a66109e3	comment	The Un-Smile: After Will suffers a seizure in "Rôti", Hannibal guides him through a simple series of tests for possible stroke victims (that are used in reality by non-cannibal medical professionals). The last test is getting the subject to smile to check their facial muscle control. Will's not really a smiley individual at the best of times, but the expression he makes in this instance (when he's swaying on his feet, soaked in sweat, pale as a corpse, and about as cheerful as a high-casualty train wreck), despite ticking all the boxes for "smile", is nightmarish. And what makes it even more chilling is the way Hannibal smiles back in genuine pleasure.

Although put into jeopardy and forced to witness some horrible things happening to other people, she receives no direct repercussions for any of her actions. After the first episode of series 3, Hannibal himself appears to have escaped to Italy and is enjoying a new life as a curator and art critic among high society.

The third season uses the courses of a formal Italian dinner, based on where most of the season was set. The second half of the season is named after the four Great Red Dragon paintings by William Blake.

Hannibal / int_ad5c0143	comment	Cutting Back to Reality: The episode "Coquilles", concludes with the Angelmaker found dead at his own hand, strung up and given the Blood Eagle treatment. However, after being left alone with the corpse for a moment, Will Graham is suddenly started to discover that the Angelmaker has climbed down from his perch and is approaching him. For a few seconds, we have every indication that the killer is somehow still alive, even cutting to a shot of Will from his perspective, Wreathed in Flames... and then another cut reveals that Will is alone and the Angelmaker is still hanging from the roof - one of the earliest indications that Will's mind is starting to suffer as a result of his work. In "Buffet Froid", troubled killer Georgia Madchen happens to walk in on Hannibal Lecter just as he's tearing Dr Sutcliffe's skull open. However, Georgia suffers from Cotard's Syndrome and cannot recognize faces, so when Hannibal turns to look at her, she perceives him as The Blank. Just as quickly, we cut back to reality to observe Hannibal's face as he hands her a pair of scissors to frame her for the crime. Another Will Graham moment: in "Roti", a feverish and delusional Will manages to capture a man he believes is Garret Jacob Hobbes; however, cuts confirm that the man is actually Dr. Abel Gideon. In a state of some confusion, Will takes him to Hannibal's house and begs Hannibal to identify the man... but Hannibal is actually able to convince him that he arrived at the house alone. Consequently, Will's perspective shows that Gideon's chair is empty, while cuts back to reality reveal that Gideon is most definitely still present and rather confused himself.

Season one has Will crushing on the kind, smart and altogether stable Alana Bloom with the two even sharing a kiss, but she rejects him for both their own good. Meanwhile, she takes up spending more personal time with Hannibal. Will's feelings for her completely dissolve by season two when she refuses to believe that Hannibal is the Chesapeake Ripper. Season two features Hannibal exclusively dating Alana while he courts Will in secret, almost mentoring him in the art of murder, and plans on starting a new life with him and Abigail. When Alana visits Will to ask him if he killed Freddie Lounds in "Ko No Mono", we get this tense exchange: Season three has Bedelia unwillingly taking Will's place as Hannibal's partner in hiding, the two playing married couple with intimacies such as him washing her hair in the bath and eventually sharing one kiss with her. All this while he, of course, is pining for Will who single-handedly sails across the Atlantic Ocean to Europe in order to find him. Will and Bedelia spend the rest of the season viciously snarking at one another like petty rivals in a love competition. Will wins their game at the end of the series by reciprocating Hannibal's love, with Bedelia's leg ending up on their dinner plates.

The same happens again at the end of Season 3 when neither Hannibal nor Will are capable of killing the other despite the fact that by doing so the killer might survive.

Hannibal / int_c1725854	comment	Character Focus: Will Graham is the protagonist and the series tracks his character arc most prominently. Usually an episode will further his development (or degeneration) and examine different aspects of his personality — his mental state, his impoverished background, his fears, his romantic feelings for Alana, his developing trust in Hannibal and his paternal instincts towards Abigail. However, some episodes bring other characters into the spotlight in addition to Will. Their moments in the sun parallel Will's arc, probably deliberately. "Potage" and "Trou Normand" focus on Abigail and her continuing struggle with the aftermath of her father's crimes. "Sorbet" and "Fromage" focus on Hannibal realizing he is lonely and solidifying his attachment to Will. "Entrée" and "Coquilles" focus on Jack, his reasons for pursuing the Chesapeake Ripper so intently, and a personal crisis closer to home. "Rôti" focuses on Gideon's revenge against his psychiatrists for "scrambling" his identity, including Dr. Chilton who convinced Gideon that he's the Chesapeake Ripper. "Antipasto" focuses on Hannibal and Bedelia and is the only episode where Will doesn't even appear.

Hannibal / int_c32ff031	comment	Xanatos Gambit: In Season 1, Hannibal sends Gideon after Alana and then Will after Gideon. No matter the outcome, Hannibal would have come out ahead. Will seriously wounds Gideon, removing Hannibal's plagiarist but leaving Hannibal's hands clean, and making Will even more unstable; however, had Gideon killed Alana, Will would have been guilt-ridden and (again) less mentally stable, forcing Will back to Hannibal for help. Hannibal pulls another major instance in Season 2's "Futamono". Worried that Jack is on to him, Hannibal murders several people but holds an animal meat dinner party which, in the event Jack tests his food for human DNA (which happens), Jack would be thrown back off the trail. Then, in order to abduct Abel Gideon, Hannibal sleeps with Alana Bloom, whom he apparently drugs unconscious in order to keep her asleep, while he kidnaps Gideon; when Jack then tries to pin Gideon on Hannibal, he has Alana provide his alibi for the night, completely debunking the claims that Hannibal is the Chesapeake Ripper. In "Shiizakana", Hannibal sets Randall Tier on Will. If Randall kills Will, Hannibal removes his greatest threat. If Will kills Randall, Hannibal has furthered his corruption because he knows that if Will gets a chance to kill, he'll start to enjoy it. Will pulls one of his own in "Ko no Mono" by refusing to kill Mason and instead setting him against Hannibal; no matter who wins, Will gets some measure of revenge on an otherwise untouchable person he has good reason to loathe.

Hannibal / int_c3c18143	comment	Hope Spot: In "Entrée", Jack describes hearing Miriam Lass' voice, which turns out to be a recording, as being this for him, since for a moment he honestly believed she was still alive. In Season 2's "Futamono", the above is subverted, where it is revealed that Miriam is alive. In the first season finale, Alana discovers that Will is suffering from a neurological disorder he isn't aware of. It seems ripe for a Pulling the Thread story line that will prove Will's innocence and perhaps expose Hannibal's malfeasance... but no, Hannibal effortlessly spins it to avoid all blame and reinforce the Frame-Up.

Hannibal / int_c660bc15	comment	Fan Disservice: It's a safe bet that whenever nudity shows up it'll be this, from a naked girl impaled on a stag's antlers to a mural of naked people stitched together (without censorship, even). On the subtler side there's Hannibal's scene in "Futamono" Talking in Bed the morning after with Alana, which in any other context would be sweet but, given who one party is, becomes nightmarish. The general consensus among viewers is that most sex scenes in the show are uncomfortable to watch; particularly the long, drawn out fivesome in "Naka-Choko," despite most of the participants being quite attractive. This is quite deliberate, given that one participant is a serial killer and another is only there so she can get pregnant to escape her insane brother. It Makes Sense in Context. Miriam Lass is shown taking a shower, and despite the Censor Steam we can see she's very toned and shapely; the effect is undercut by both her traumatic experience and her arm missing below the elbow.

Hannibal / int_da53340	comment	Religious Horror: Hannibal Lecter is portrayed as a satanic figure, deceiving, corrupting, and destroying those around him. To boot, Season 2 abounds with religious references. When Hannibal installs James Grey in his own human "mural", it is intended to reflect the light of God from above. When Hannibal looks down on the mural from the opening of the grain silo, it's reminiscent of medieval art in which God looks down on Earth from above. Hannibal refers to Matthew 26:69-75 in "Hassun", telling Jack that he cannot deny Will a third time. Finally, in "Mukōzuke", Matthew Brown arranges Hannibal like Jesus on the cross and nearly hangs him for being a Judas. Mads Mikkelsen plays Hannibal Lecter as if he were Lucifer, so the whole series serves as this if one sees Hannibal as a literal Satanic figure.

Hannibal / int_e5421161	comment	Expy: Dr. Abel Gideon is one for Hannibal, with many phrases from the book used about Hannibalex. (such as Chilton feeling like his secretary due to all the fan-mail and relishing in how rare it is to observe a true sociopath in captivity) being used about him. Much of Abel Gideon's character is a homage to Anthony Hopkins' portrayal of Hannibal Lecter. The name 'Gideon' is a reference to Hannibal's original name in the script for Silence of the Lambs before they knew they could use Hannibal's name due to rights issues. In "Rôti", Gideon sits down across a table from Hannibal, demonstrating a clear contrast between the Anthony-Hopkins-like characterization adopted by Eddie Izzard as Gideon and Mads Mikkelsen's own take on Hannibal. The irony is palpable; Gideon has been made to believe he was the Chesapeake Ripper, so Izzard imitates the acting style of the original Chesapeake Ripper as played by Hopkins. Miriam Lass, an eager-to-please and brilliant trainee under Jack, seems a clear-cut Clarice Call-Forward; much of the dialogue between her and Crawford echoes that between Clarice and Crawford at the start of the film... with the twist reveal that she discovered Hannibal was the Ripper in the same way Will did from the books (with the diagram of Wound Man). She just didn't make it to a phone before Hannibal found her out too. Miriam Lass is also this for Will Graham, due to the above discovery about Hannibal. Garrett Jacob Hobbs is clearly meant to be one of infamous Real Life Serial Killer Ed Gein, going by his hunting themes and desire to use all parts of his victims. Between James Grey's method of abducting his victims, his value of their skin, and his similar name, he is very reminiscent of Jame Gumb. Matthew Brown's a serial killer who occasionally slurs his speech with an obsession with an (alleged) serial killer already incarcerated and goes to kill someone under his direction. In other words, he seems to have been inspired by Francis Dolarhyde. He is also an orderly at Baltimore State Hospital for the Criminally Insane like Barney Matthews, whose name sounds similar. However, despite some viewer speculation, it has been confirmed by the writers that Matthew is not the Red Dragon. Franklyn Froidevaux has similarities to the book character Benjamin Raspail, one of Hannibal's patients whom he killed for being whiny and annoying.

Hannibal / int_e6ab61d	comment	Magic Realism: It's subtle, but quite possible to read the series this way, especially given Bryan Fuller's past works. Hannibal could be a fallen angel who finds humankind both intriguing and delicious. Will's empathic gift could be some type of second sight. The proliferation of gruesomely beautiful crimes around the setting could be due to some sort of dark influence drawing and aggravating those tendencies in people who are already murderous (possible Hannibal himself, if you run with the Satan parallels). There will never be explicit confirmation of any of these things, but the series can be readily viewed through that lens if you want.invoked

Hannibal / int_efdc0552	comment	Obvious Villain, Secret Villain: The show runs on this: While the audience knows that Hannibal is a serial killer, none of the main characters do and they set about catching several other villains. Season 1 switches up between killers who are aware of Hannibal's existence and either awed by him or form uneasy alliances with him, and killers that don't know him at all. This is also the dynamic between Garrett Jacob Hobbs and his daughter Abigail. Hobbs is immediately identified as the Minnesota Shrike in his first appearance, and is killed by Will shortly after he tries to kill Abigail. However, after much back and forth, Abigail admits about halfway through the season that she knew what her father was doing and helped him, but not of her own free will.

Hence, all the food we see him prepare looks utterly delicious, be it roast "beef", "sausage" and egg, or human lungs. It's subtly yet potently suggested that any time Hannibal serves any guest any kind of meat, it's human. It's essentially Food Porn Fan Disservice — the fact that it all looks so damned mouth-watering despite this makes everyone in the audience feel like they're Humanitarians by proxy. In "Sorbet", Hannibal throws a fancy dinner party and the camera pans up the table, showing how it's laden with terrifyingly delicious-looking human organ meats, before finally showing Hannibal give a short but sweet speech: Even Hannibal's storage of wine and beer are made with human parts.

Hannibal / int_fccd06b6	comment	Will. Although it might not look like it, Will can be as apt as Hannibal at manipulation. He had a plan to make Hannibal kill Mason so he'd be caught in the act, and he succeeded at making Hannibal turn himself in by rejecting him — which he claims he did on purpose to get that result. Another example is putting the hand on Chilton in the picture, imagining this move would make the Dragon go for Chilton and get Chilton karmic punishment for what he wrote on Hannibal, as he later admits to Bedelia. This is not a direct manipulation of Dolarhyde, but it's a manipulation of events and of unsuspecting people (Chilton) so that Will's likely to obtain a wanted result.
