But I do agree, I liked Chiyoh's presence but she felt kind of underused in a way. I was hoping for more of her, perhaps a little appearance after he had been incarcerated.
Yes in the end she felt like too much of a plot device IMO when we only saw her appearing to protect Hannibal, it's a shame because she seemed like an intriguing character in her own right in her first appearance
I know some people weren't thrilled hearing about the actor change for Mason, but everything about his character this season was sadistically twisted all the same. I did enjoy how Hannibal helped Margot and Alana and how they were the ones who killed Mason in the end. Murder girlfriends! ♥
I wasn't sure about Mason's change at first, but I thought that the new actor did an impressive job with the role, and I loved how the show brought in the death by eel and Hannibal helping Margo out (Hannibal being one of the only books that I actually read from the canon *g*) I always thought it was a shame that Margo's part was completely written out of the film, her relationship with Mason was such an important part of showing what a monster he was, and it was nice seeing Hannibal do the right thing by someone who had been a victim of Mason's.
Plus, I do love the nudges that other people acknowledge this as well, with "Murder Husbands" (a nice wink to the fandom) to the recent conversation between Will and Bedelia, examining that relationship a bit deeper especially considering they were both underneath the spell of Hannibal Lector.
:nods: The conversation with Will and Bedelia was a favourite of mine, and I also loved Freddie's appearance with the mention of "Murder Husbands", and her pointing out that they did run off to Europe together *g* I wish that they would use her character a little more actually, her appearances are always so fun
Bedelia didn't necessarily kill him, but she didn't help either and we understand that cruel, possible murderous instinct within her that he probably wanted to observe for himself, seeing what would happen.
I thought that Bedelia did kill the patient in the end by ramming her arm down her throat? It matched up with what she was saying to Will about feeling the urge to crush something that she perceives as vulnerable, always having to swallow that urge of course, but it's always there all the same. And that was the one time that she gave in to it. That made a lot more sense of her escaping with Hannibal, she wanted to give in to her fascination with her cruel streak, while not crossing over society's line and becoming a killer herself
I don't have that much to say about the Red Dragon arc tbh, but I am really enjoying it of course, especially the performances of Dolarhyde and Reba. I loved that first phone call with Hannibal with Dolarhyde talking of becoming "the great Red Dragon" <3 And some of the visuals have just been amazing, especially during Dolarhyde and Lector's imagined therapy moment. I haven't read the book for Red Dragon, but I did see the film a year or so ago, so I'm interested in seeing what twists of the canon Bryan Fuller is planning
