Hannibal´s 2nd Season has come to an end

And they lived happily ever after ... I wish ! That was an amazing Finale - it nearly remembered at the bloody wedding of games and thrones. One hell of a rollercoaster. And at the end you´re left hanging in the air like fruit - is there anybody not dead at the end of the season ?

What the hell Hannibal ?

As it comes down Jack is dead ... that is sure. He bleeded out far too long to get him back. Then we have Alana - who might be crushed but my hopes are not yet beyond return, we all know Will is not dead Hugh is coming back next Episode, and Graham from the book also survives this hole in his stomache, but Abigail is lost when there won´t be an ambulance the next minute of the Story ... I guess she won´t make it.

Well and there is Dr. Maurier, much longer under Hannibals influence ... his murderous bride - who would have guessed that ?

Luckily Season 3 is coming and I can´t wait for it to happen - you better hurry Bryan ...

Fannibals are waiting - and we´re not knowing for patients but sharping knifes while doing so ;-)

X Men days of Future Past


After all these years still turning everything into a fine mess. Fine like in damn fine, and if he isn´t causing the tears, this one certainly will do:


Okay just to be specific - spoilers all over the place. You keep on reading ? Here you go - you have been warned.

The sentiels are coming - and they kill every mutant they can get a hold of and every human who tries to help them. They absorb every mutant power they touch. The last circle around Dr. Xavier and Magneto figured a way to send someone back for about a day - longer than that and it would tear them apart. But Xavier and Magneto figur this is the only way to change the past and the only man who can survive this is Logan.

He has to stop Raven from killing the man who designs the Sentinels because with that she falls into their hands and they will use her DNA Code to create the Sentinels. It all begins with her.


So Logan is send back - his first adress is Charles, but he isn´t the man he thought he would be, Beast created a serum that temporary heals his bone fracture but he lost his abilities instead. The last years left a broken man behind. Being in Eric´s head, losing his legs, losing Raven - he isn´t even afraid to die anymore. His fear is manifested so hard in him he can´t endure to hear any other voices in his head.

But Logan can convince him that without him and Magneto everything is going to be destroyed. And they get a old `future´ Friend of Logan to get Eric out of prison for the kill of John F Kennedy ... no comment on that.
As Charles first see´s him - he just has to hit his face. And they can escape. In the plane Charles claims that Eric took everything from him - where Eric blames him for surpressing his powers, for all the death mutans so far he did not hear. Which he didn´t save.

Meanwhile Raven saves a couple of Mutants who are supposed to end in a labor for experiments. She is acting alone now. And she seeks the man who takes the mutants to experiment with them until they die.

They need to find Raven, but Charles is not ready - Logan can convince him to leave the drug behind, but he is too afraid, he can´t take control of his power, and Logan can´t help him - so he gives him insight to his mind, where he finds even more pain. But he can find contact to his older self...he remembers his desperation and his fear, not of the pain others cause him but of the pain within him. The fear of his own pain. But without his hope everything is lost.
In the end he manages to use cerebo but he can´t take control of Raven, he can´t stop her.
She makes it into the Doctor´s Office where she finds evidence of is monstrous experiments that costs the life of so many also of mutants of their brotherhood.


On the next days she wants to kill him, Charles wants to convince her while Eric wants to kill her in the sake of all mutants.
Talking of being damned shocked as he nearly shoots her. The Fight is filmed and the fear of mutants is getting feed - and of cause the president gives his go for the Sentnels.

Raven escapes. Eric is gone. And they have to start over. Raven finds Eric and asks him for his reasons - Eric wants to start his war against the human race - while Raven still wants to take revenge on only the Doctor.

So Xavier, Logan and Beast try to stop her - at the big press conference where the presidents tries to show strengh with the sentinels which are to a trick of Eric full of metal - he drops a motherfucking stadion across the white house and pulls the panic room to his feet and breaks the metal wall , ready with all weapons that were pointing at him - now pointing at the politic staff of the president - saying they were right to fear them and he would show how strong they really are. And he finishes off Logan. Dead in the Water. Likely?


But before he can do that Raven shoots him through his neck without killing him - and hits him into black out. She takes of his helm and says Charles he is yours. And Xavier uses him to finish the Sentinels off.
But Raven still wants to kill the man - but Charles convinces her that she can´t make those mutants alive again, but that she can make a difference now in leaving them alive - and she does.

After that they blame the man that have sold his Sentinels to the mutants and is arrested. Eric is on the run. And Raven gone.


Logan awakes in the present. Where everything seems back to day one. Everyone is alive. Jean. Laserhead. But he has no memory of the last years. He just reminds to have died. In a flashback we see Raven in the Body of the man who gave Wolverine his name.

Saying she will take care of him.

End.

Hannibal 2x12: Tome-wan

Imagine what you would like to happen, Will. Graham seems to want to convince Hannibal to kill Mason Verger. And Hannibal wants Will to join his table. Hannibal finally got what he wanted, a friend and a potential killer. Freely in his net. And still with a will on his own.

And as Will is closing his eyes ... he see´s Hannibal hanging in Masons Cave ... and he himself is cutting his throat. The blood is flushing above him and Hannibal and he watches while Hannibal is gliding into the middle of the cave ... and he slides down to get torn apart by the beastly pigs of Mason. And just as he opens his eyes and Hannibal asks him about what he did imagine - they smile at each other. Murder Husbands indeed.

As Hannibal starts his appointment with Mason he prepares a scalpel in his sleeve, Mason knows what Hannibal did, and Hannibal knows what he is capabale of. He despises him for his behavior, setting his shoes on his furniture and he's just pushing his luck as he ramms his father´s knife into Hannibals patients leather seat.


His face tells us all we need to know. Mason made it to his first list. Considering a used hankerchief on his table is rude - what degree is this then ?


They are playing their game - and the first one to blink ... is going to get killed ... is he ?

As we see Margot we see a big ugly scar on her stomache. He literally branded her. So she knows this can never be undone, as Hannibal says to her.
As Graham talks to Jack - he doesn´t tell him the truth why Hannibal manipulates him to kill Mason. Not a word about Margots aborted baby being his. They want to catch him in the act. With two or even three witnesses.

And this is the moment where Dr. Maurier is returning.And we learn Hannibal persuaded her in killing her own patient. And she thinks that Will is not in control but that Hannibal has control over him. And that Hannibal wants Jack to think that he could catch him. That he is always in control about the things around him, always thinking one step ahead - and a rabbit hole on each possibility.

Jack still eats supper with Hannibal, and just as Hannibal is cooking, Mason visits Graham. So three unfriendly men try to capture Hannibal and he ends up killing one of them - but the other man teasers him.

And Hannibal is just exactly there where Will imagined him at the beginning of the Episode. Hanging above the freaking pig maze. He is teasing the man who got him - as Mason screams 'kill him and you'll get no money', and we see Will catching his eyes. And Hannibal just watches Mason like he is such a amusing thing. And as Mason is talking - he and Will look at each other - yeah honeymoon time Darling. As Verger gives Will the knife to cut him open. Just like he dreamed.
As they look at each other - he turns Hannibal around and cuts his straitjacket open. And the man behind him knocks him out. As he awakens - a great amount of blood is on the floor around him ... but as he gets the cable construction up - he only finds the man who knocked him out. No Hannibal -

At Will´s home, Hannibal gives Mason a Drug - and just like in the books he persuades him to show him his true face -


And moments of realizion and terror and madness and absolute highness strike Mason -

Meanwhile Will is coming home, Mason sits there in the shadows feeding Will´s dogs his own face. He doesn´t even realize at the start what he is feeding them. As Hannibal appears beside Will.

And I just laughed my - you know what - off. As Mason said : I´m hungry and Hannibal answers : then eat your nose - and he does just that. And they just stand there and watching him do it - like they're watching puppy´s playing with a bone.


Hannibal offers Will the chance to kill him but he answers, he is your patient Dr., you do what is best for him. So he goes over to him and snaps his neck.

And the scene changes and we see - well what do we see ... Agent Crawford is visiting Mason Verger - he is indeed not dead. He wears a mask and his neck is hold my a metal construction - he doesn´t say who did this to him ... saying he fell and broke his neck and his pigs had eaten his face. As we know from the books he doesn´t want the police to get Hannibal, he himself wants Hannibal to suffer - to die by his will.
As Crawford leaves, Margot is entering the room, saying : What I want is to take care of you, just like you did take care of me.
And we all know she will make him suffer.


Will persuades Hannibal to reveal himself before Jack. But what will he do ?
Will he kill Jack ? Is this the end ? Will Hannibal get caught ?
Are Will and Jack alone in this ?

More this Friday ...
