I felt incredibly satisfied by that finale. There really was no other way of saying it other than that. They delivered beautifully with concluding the Red Dragon arc along with making everything come full circle in terms of Will and Hannibal. And that final scene, with them joining together to take down Francis, them embracing and clinging to each other afterwards, and then them falling over the cliff. Just. Yeah. ♥
I have to admit, I very much liked the additional scene at the end of the credits with Bedelia, because it left us with enough to be curious about what it could mean. We got our closure, in a sense, for everything else, but there was this little teaser, leaving it open for personal interpretation. Obviously it makes me wonder what Bryan intended for a fourth season and how he would have explained the ending with Will and Hannibal, and whether what we see of Bedelia is a flashforward to sometime in the future where she is accompanied by them. But it does make you question, since I've been wondering a lot about Bedelia's state of mind since she was told that Hannibal would be "set loose", she seemed quite unsettled by the very notion. She knew, much like Alana knew, that Hannibal wouldn't hesitate to kill and eat her if given the chance. So perhaps she went into a meltdown and basically had her leg cut off so she could eat herself? IDK. Regardless though, I do like the air of mystery surrounding just that one post-credit scene. It leaves us much to speculate.
Although I am still kind of holding hope that somehow we'll be getting a continuation of this universe in some form or another, I'm going to miss this show. It was such a treat to watch, with all its grotesquely gorgeous visuals and the writing and the brilliance of the actors.
