On our last Hannibal Day

[xerinmichellex]

All the NBCHannibal stuff--the tumblr and twitter--better knock it off with the "this finale is going to blow your brains" because the last time something was hyped up to this degree it was the DW 50th, and we all know how I feel about that. (To wit: It was not good.)

(Speaking of: BBC released a teaser for the Season 8 trailer. . .which isn't anything exciting. Although we do know the season premiere is August.)

Two things I don't want to happen:

1. Abigail turns out to be alive. I'm praying with every fiber of my being that she's very dead and I can keep calling her "Abi-veal"*; but the fan speculations and heavy references about her these past couple of episodes makes me 90% sure she's alive and has been in Hannibal's murder basement the entire time. But that 10% of me is holding strong.

*Which. . .if she isn't dead, who the hell were Hannibal and Bedelia eating at the end of last season?

2. Will better not run off with Hannibal because Will's ~changed. I just don't see how that would even be possible or fit within his character. (Other than the obvious: Fuller/the writers don't think having Will and Hannibal separated is compelling. But it could be!) Maybe I'll accept it if Will's still in the process of luring Hannibal. However, if you spent all this time trying to nab Hannibal and it didn't work, a change of locale won't make a difference. Plus: Think of the dogs, Will! Think of the dogs!

I'm really dreading this finale--and not in a "OMG who's going to die?!" type of dread or the "Oh, shit, Will, you in trouble" like last season. But the dread that the two things I don't want to happen are going to happen and, personally, I cannot see how any of it won't break my brain. You've all been warned.

Note: I'm more cranky than usual, as I'm functioning on 5 hours of sleep right now. I'm hoping this won't have an effect for watching the show. But I may be like Mason last week and not know what the fuck is going on around me due to an altered state and claw my face off out of sheer horror that Abigail is alive and/or Will runs off with Hannibal.

I'll have an actual, final Hannibal post this weekend, complete with Season 3 speculations. *sniff* What are we going to do with ourselves for 9 months?

11:30pm EDIT: Before anyone asks, I'm totally okay even though one of the things I dreaded happening happened. A little annoyed; but not angry. Also: My finale prediction was pretty darn accurate (minus the Abigail thing, which I'll discuss later) *does Snoopy dance* *runs off to buy some lottery tickets* *sobs into a bowl of ice cream*

I had a gut feeling Abigail would come back, and once we got a glimpse of her Dad, I was 100% sure. AND THEN I WAS NOT OKAY WITH WHAT SHE DID TO ALANA, OR WHAT HANNIBAL DID TO HER. AT ALL.

Sobbing into a bowl of ice cream sounds like an excellent idea. *runs off whimpering*

LOL. "Gut feeling" Heeeeeeee!

(I'm so terrible. Sorry!)

I was so mad that Abigail shoved Alana out the window. I mean, I'm not Abigail's biggest fan by a mile; but I was yelling at Will to shoot heeeeeer when he arrived. Still, I'm sad that--once AGAIN--Abigail is taken from Will. and this time, he can't do anything to save her.

I'm wondering how much brainwashing Hannibal would've needed to use on Abigail. Probably not to the extent of Miriam, because Abigail was already on Hannibal's side. I think he just manipulated her further, seeing as he was her only contact to the outside world.

LOL, no worries. I set meself up for that one.

Indeed! Is she gonna die (literally or figuratively) EVERY season finale?

Also, where the heck is Rhoda? I feel like we're Will and Abigail, bleeding alone here. We're down one Fannibal.

I was checking Rhoda's twitter last night, cause she usually live tweets, and nothing. She may be out of town for Memorial Day weekend.


God, I hope Abigail didn't push her out a window or something and she's lying on the pavement somewhere going, "Guys? Guys? Where are you, guys? And where the FUCK is that back-up I called in 15 minutes ago?!"

THAT or maybe she's run off with a cannibal and we're going to have band together and drag her back to the states.

I figured she must be busy, probably with family.

Unless, of course, your theory proves true and we do have to go abroad to hunt her and the cannibal down. Better get my passport ready!

[xerinmichellex.livejournal.com]

*cries* I don't even have a passport! You get started and I'll catch up with you.

How are we with guns? I've never fired one, although my dad had a collection of them in the house. Because I think we're going to have shoot that fucker ourselves.

We're really going to have to draw up a plan to rescue Rhoda. Will had a good plan and even he couldn't take down Hannibal. We're also going to have to avoid Freddie Lounds because she messes up everything.

[gothrockrulz.livejournal.com]

LOL, I don't have a passport yet, either. Getting mine ready will take some time.

I've never touched a real gun in my life, so we aren't doing too good in that department. We need Beverley Katz to give us lessons.

Yes, plans are good. We should create a different plan for each country, since there will be different language and geographic challenges in each one. (Unless trekking across Europe is way, way simpler than trekking through the States).

As for Freddie, we'll leave her to Will, I think.

Crisis averted! Rhoda showed up (as you already know).


But we really should come up with various plans in case one of us does decide to ever run off with a cannibal. Never hurts to be prepared.

[gothrockrulz.livejournal.com]

I'll give it a week or two for both of us to mull over plans (and Rhoda should probably do so as well, just in case we both get nabbed by a cannibal), and then we can compare notes.
