I was inwardly cringing every time someone said England or English in the show and I have to admit I wasn't as devastated at the hall burning and Ragnar's death as I was when it happened in the books. I think it's because we didn't spend as much time with him and Uhtred living with his family as we did in the books. I was more attached to the book characters. Still, really looking forward to future episodes! :-)

I loved it! I have read some of the books (in the middle of book 5 now).

My fanwank is essentially they survive, Will gets taken to a hospital to recover, and Hannibal deals with Bedelia and is free to begin hunting Alana. I'll spare everyone the details. I really don't like the thought of "murder husbands". Never have. Their relationship is unique, so much more than that. That was why I loved the books and movies and the whole universe Harris created. Any relationship or encounter with Hannibal is beyond anything normal. Unique, as I said. That's what made it compelling to me. It was different. Not your average serial killer novel. I never saw it as anything even approaching sexual, and I never will. I think it's just too mundane for Hannibal. That said (very ineloquently), I would also like to say I will miss the show very much. It is right up there with "The X files" as one of my favorite shows ever. I'm glad we got the seasons we did, and I'm glad I was introduced to the wonderful actor that is Mads, but I'm greedy and want more. Third time NBC has let me down. Three strikes and you're out NBC.
ETA: Is it wrong that I was a little disappointed in Hannibal's escape? I was hoping for something a little more...clever?, elaborate? I don't know. I was just a little underwhelmed, especially considering the escape in SotL.

Philadelphia area NBC doesn't look like it's showing Hannibal tonight. Stupid pre-season football. Hope it's on On Demand--especially if it's the finale. DVR schedule isn't showing any upcoming recordings.
My station is showing it at 2 in the morning. I'm recording the entire night's programming just to be safe.

Has anyone seen "The Salvation" with Mads and Eva Green?
-
Ok, that trailer gave me chills! Can't wait!

Can we begin speculating on new projects for them? I would love to see Mads as Odin in American Gods. Bryan Fuller clearly adores him.
This please. I read the book a few months ago and pictured Mads as Odin through the whole thing.

I'd forgotten about "King Arthur". And I just watched it again a couple days ago! I have watched "The Hunt". I actually watched it in spurts. I agree, pretty upsetting, but phenomenal in terms of performance.
-
I avoided Bond movies like the plague until I found out Mads was in "Casino Royale". I actually liked it! Favorite one of his is still "A Royal Affair". Close second is "Coco Chanel and Igor Stravinsky". Sorry to say I haven't seen many Hugh Dancy movies although I liked that Elizabeth I mini series he was in.

This past weekend I watched "Age of Uprising: The Legend of Michael Kohlhaas" (2013) and "Torremolinos 73" (2003). He managed to be buck-naked in both. I'm not sure he's ever kept his shirt on through an entire movie. NOT THAT I'M COMPLAINING.
I've been putting off watching "Torremolinos 73", but I might have to watch it now.

I was thinking there was something of about Abigail, but never made the connection so the reveal surprised me. Also my signal kept going out from storms so I missed quite a bit. I was glad of the reveal though. I liked the actress and the character, but if she'd survivedthat it would have been too much, if that makes sense. Hello Will, I missed you! And glasses too! He needs to keep those on. Loved the visuals this week, but looking forward to next week. I did get to see nightmare antler thing and agree Caelicola that it's very Pan's Labyrinth. That was my first thought. Also loved the introduction of Pazzi and glad I got to see the old picture of Mads.

I read David Tennant was up for the role of Hannibal, which I can't really see. At all. Although I'd love it if he were on the show in the future. My poor fangirl heart would explode after I screamed like a little girl!

I don't usually comment because anything I would write lacks intelligence and insight, unlike other comments I read on here. That said, I'd just like to say a couple of things. One: Damn! That about covers everything from Gillian Anderson to Mads, to Eddie Izzard,to that poor Dimond guy. Felt sorry for him. Two: I missed you so much show! Ok, I lied. Three: loved the whole beginning. *coughbikerhannibalcough*

I'm about halfway through The Hunt now. I have to watch it in snippets because it's heart wrenching, and this is from someone whose heart rarely gets wrenched watching a movie! I adore A Royal Affair as well; it's one of my favorite movies! I've been trying to get my mother to watch it by telling her it's in Danish (she's 1/4), but no luck yet.
Also, I think this hiatus is already doing weird things to my brain. I was watching a friend's kid the other day and we were watching Frozen for the 80th(?) time. Only, this time when the song 'Let it Go' came on, I kept replaying the scene with Hannibal going out into the rain from the finale in my head. I admit, it made me crack up! And it's only been nearly two weeks so I can't wait to see what my brain comes up with in the coming months.

I don't have any deep insights; I never do. But I did enjoy this episode! Was the pig Hannibal chose Pavlov? If so, then go get him Will! Mason was a little more...crazy looking than I thought. I think it was the hair. Michael Pitt was great! The only other thing I've seen him in was Boardwalk Empire. I was a little unsure about Katherine Isabelle, but my doubts are gone. Love her take on Margot! I'm not sure about Freddie being dead, at least, I hope she's not. That's my line for Will and I don't want him to have crossed it. Loved Hannibal sitting there waiting for her in his onesie.
In the shallower end of things, Hugh and Mads! Yowza! I think I kinda want a theremin now. Although the inevitable catch of Hannibal by Will makes a me a touch sad because...well, less shirtless Mads and more yucky jumpsuit.
*steps out of the shallow end after checking for psycopathic orderlies*

I just have to give a quick shout-out to Hannibal's dorkalicious winter hat when they were all at a crime scene in the latest episode. I had to do a double take to make sure it was him!

I loved yesterday's episode and I, too, am impatient for the next one! I'm loving the book series as well.
