Hannibal: Season 3 Recap

December 30, 2017December 30, 2017 thecatgun

So, it’s over. Let’s talk about the season as a whole, and a little about the show in general. What about Season 3? It’s very good as a whole. The first half suffers from some pacing problems, which is the … Continue reading Hannibal: Season 3 Recap

Hannibal: S03E13 “The Wrath of the Lamb”

December 27, 2017December 27, 2017 thecatgun

This is where it ends. Will confronts everything in this episode – Hannibal, the Red Dragon, himself. There is an incredible amount of uncertainty around his endgame. But when the episode ends, and the camera looks over the cliff to … Continue reading Hannibal: S03E13 “The Wrath of the Lamb”

Hannibal: Episode 12 “The Number of the Beast is 666”

December 25, 2017December 25, 2017 thecatgun

DO YOU SEE Our protagonists are suffering. There’s no other way to say it. Alana is cold and ruthless, Jack is desperate and reckless, and Will – he has become his old self, haunted by his experiences and his own … Continue reading Hannibal: Episode 12 “The Number of the Beast is 666”

Hannibal: S03E11 “And the Beast From the Sea”

December 22, 2017December 22, 2017 thecatgun

We open with Francis eating the Blake painting, and cut to Will, explaining his confrontation to Jack and Alana. This is very much a microcosm of where these characters are: Jack, pissed off; Alana, cold and pragmatic; Will, affected and … Continue reading Hannibal: S03E11 “And the Beast From the Sea”

Hannibal: S03E10 “And the Woman Clothed in the Sun”

December 20, 2017December 22, 2017 thecatgun

“Extreme acts of cruelty require a high level of empathy.”  First off: this episode has a different title than the previous episode. They are different! The title here is deliberate and not a mistake. Having said that… We are nearing … Continue reading Hannibal: S03E10 “And the Woman Clothed in the Sun”

Hannibal: S03E09 “And the Woman Clothed With the Sun”

December 18, 2017December 18, 2017 thecatgun

Episode 9, “And the Woman Clothed With the Sun…” We open right where we left off. Will visiting Hannibal in the BSHCI. “I’m more comfortable the less personal we are,” Will states. The words only make explicit what we can … Continue reading Hannibal: S03E09 “And the Woman Clothed With the Sun”

Hannibal: S03E08 “The Great Red Dragon”

December 17, 2017December 18, 2017 thecatgun

We open on a hand. The view moves to a face – a new one – sitting alone in a café. There is no dialogue here, only percussive music, as we follow this new face – F. Dolarhyde, as per … Continue reading Hannibal: S03E08 “The Great Red Dragon”

Hannibal: S03E07 “Digestivo”

December 15, 2017December 15, 2017 thecatgun

“I think we’re all working through some issues.” We open in Florence. One step back. La policia storms Hannibal’s place, cutting in (ha ha) just in time to spare Will from the saw. A mostly sedated Jack implores la policia … Continue reading Hannibal: S03E07 “Digestivo”

Fashion Club 12/12

December 12, 2017December 12, 2017 thecatgun

Tonight’s Fashion Club is brought to you in part by Hannibal. I mostly want to highlight Alana Bloom’s fashion in season three. Alana dresses very well in the first two seasons, but in season three her fashion gets a serious upgrade. … Continue reading Fashion Club 12/12

Hannibal: S03E06 “Dolce”

December 11, 2017December 18, 2017 thecatgun

We open with Hannibal walking home, battered, through conspicuously empty streets. Jack watches as Pazzi’s body is cut down, and Will is there. The two men meet amicably, but Jack still has questions. Even from the audience perspective, there is … Continue reading Hannibal: S03E06 “Dolce”

Hannibal: S03E05 “Contorno”

December 10, 2017December 10, 2017 thecatgun

“How will you feel when I’m gone?” “Alive.” Now, things are moving. “Contorno” feels like pure progress – there are no flashbacks and  little talk. This episode would be relief even without the savage beating that closes it. We’ll get … Continue reading Hannibal: S03E05 “Contorno”

Hannibal: S03E04 “Aperitivo”

December 9, 2017December 9, 2017 thecatgun

Now, I’ve enjoyed the first three episodes of this season. The gorgeous locales of Europe, the twisted ambiguity of Hannibal and Bedelia’s cohabitation, sorting through Will and Hannibal’s feelings. All of it. But understand that I mean this next word: … Continue reading Hannibal: S03E04 “Aperitivo”

Hannibal: S03E03 “Secondo”

December 6, 2017December 6, 2017 thecatgun

“He’d be proud of you. His nakama.” Season three of Hannibal will not be rushed. It seems there is no shortage of unfinished business back in Baltimore, but we remain in Europe, trying to understand what everything means. But there is … Continue reading Hannibal: S03E03 “Secondo”

Hannibal: S03E02 “Primavera”

December 3, 2017December 3, 2017 thecatgun

“How did he know we were here?” “He didn’t. But he knew we would come.” We are moving forward, but slowly. Whereas “Antipasto” was every bit a euphoric dream, “Primavera” feels more like sobering reality. Hannibal may have escaped to … Continue reading Hannibal: S03E02 “Primavera”

Good evening, Avocado. Welcome to my season three Hannibal reviews. I plan to post these sporadically, without much warning. May you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoy watching the show. We open with a flame, and then, machinery. It’s … Continue reading Hannibal: S03E01 “Antipasto”
