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.
Bryan has since said that he's surprised that anyone took it as Bedelia amputating her own leg, that it was meant to come across as her being terrified and hiding the fork ready to attack. Honestly I'm surprised if terrified was what they were going for, it just didn't read that way to me at all, even if she had been drugged she still seemed so completely out of it and relaxed that my immediate thoughts were that she had finally snapped in some way. I like that interpretation of it more actually that she had prepared her leg for Hannibal, and that she was going to be waiting in vain for someone who was never going to arrive *g*
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.
:nods: My immediate reaction was that that was the perfect ending for me and let's just leave it on that final image of Will and Hannibal, but since hearing Bryan Fuller's interviews about how the most interesting chapter in Will's story has yet to be told, now I really want some more! It sounds like a film is most likely in a year or so when Bryan has more time, apparently they're trying to get financing for it at the moment
