It’s not important whether she continues to think that Will and Jack’s plan was, retroactively, illegal entrapment. What’s important is whether she looks at the new basically incontrovertible evidence (4 stabbed people in his house, he’s gone) saying that Hannibal is a killer and somehow decides “Well, at some point in the past I said I didn’t think Hannibal was guilty, so I’d better continue to stick to that position forever no matter what” which would be pretty off the charts into caricature-of-a-snidely-whiplash-boss land.
Far more plausible would be some kind of ass-covering where instead of getting to go chase Hannibal (who everyone now agrees is guilty) Will and Jack are stuck having to testify and endless hearings as to what went wrong in the first place, rigged to make them look like fools (and, frankly, they WERE fooled by Hannibal for a long time, so there’s a lot of truth to that), or something like that. I’m not sure that would make for interesting drama or not, but it certainly wouldn’t be OMG ridiculous.
I assume none of this is on computer, and is just on paper.
What I’d do if I were the boss & saw the carnage Hannibal left…
total APB with Interpol for Hannibal & office fire for all the stuff involving Will’s killing the SaberTooth guy & mutilating whoever was Freddy’s corpse. Hannibal framed Will up so we’d just add them to Hannibal’s body count.
No. His sister was named Mischa and she had been killed as a child back in their native country during WWII. However considering the huge liberties the TV show has taken in regards to the novels, I have no idea what they are planning for the characters. Who knows if Hannibal is even supposed to ever be captured in their world.
Someone, either in this thread or the other Hannibal thread, suggested that perhaps Mischa met her fate during the Soviet occupation of Hannibal’s homeland.
I look at Hannibal like it’s art. It has no real basis in logic, the science is unrealistic, and somehow, this little corner of America is within proximity to super-genius serial killers with artistic flair. OK, that describes CSI too, but…
At any rate, I look at it as a multi-textured performance, not as the usual “could be real” procedural. It’s like a prolonged look at tragedy, exposing the slashed flesh, revealing the wet bloody organs inside our bodies we take for granted. It uses a lot of art film technique instead of the standard camera switches.
So at Comic Con this weekend, the big news from the **Hannibal **panel was that Dr. Chilton (Raul Ezparza) will be returning for Season 3!! Yes somehow he survived getting shot in the face! This pleases me so much because I was annoyed that they diverged so much from the books in killing off a major character.
There never was any dialogue in the show talking about his death (that I can recall, anyway)…which was a big clue. But maybe it was a contract-negotiation thing. Maybe they were cagey not as a means of engineering a Startling Twist, but because Mr. Ezparza’s agent was playing hardball.
